What I'm hyped about after trying Path of Exile 2 & watching the Reveal - PoE2 #1

[@Empyriangaming]

EDIT: I had to cut the crafting bench section because that iteration is no longer coming at the start of Early Access. So the video kinda became 9 instead of 10 :D sorry! The announcement stream has been so crazy to watch as well, even more info than what we were subject to 2 weeks ago during the LA event. The group is hyped, we have no idea what we're doing, should be a good time :D What are you excited about? Thanks for watching!

[@tripleraze321]

Poe 2 looks almost perfect! Only problem is you still have to waste time identifying items rather than being able to read it and decide if you pick it up.

[@CrosshairLunchbox]

Can you clarify on which part of the video (perhaps a timestamp) is different? Or removed?

Hey empy, you said you don't do much yapping content but i really liked this video, was clear and you didn't talk about stuff for 2 hours to get to the point.

I had actually never seen the transmutation bench. Most of what I have seen of the crafting system is really awesome. A lot of the same ideas but in more straight forward ways. Could not be more hype for this game. Looking forward to your farming strats!

Just to clarify, you can't "fill out the entire skill tree of a mechanic" since you only get 8 points

[@junk3996]

is 8 points the max though? empy says the more you interact with the mechanic the more points you get until you can eventually fill it out

[@khrishp]

​@@junk3996you can see it in the atlas tree page. Its out of 8

[@quincestopher8892]

​@junk3996 it says 0/8 on the trees so it will most likely be max of 8 points which makes sense they said you had to choose which you want in the live stream

[@a.t3415]

​@@quincestopher8892 max of 8 for each mechanic, not max of 8 for all league mechanics

[@quincestopher8892]

@a.t3415 correct but each tree has more than 8 nodes so you won't be able to fill it all the way out

I had been one of the lucky ones that were invited to the Closed Beta earlier this year. I signed an NDA and can't talk about it.

I like the most that it feels like a giant improvement over poe 1 for all new-to-average players, and multiplayer especially in the same breath, without making poe 1 any worse for the super fans. It's different enough that poe 1 doesn't feel like shit waiting for it to come out.

[@dokken63]

Great vid!

[@daerthan]

You cannot max a tree of a mechanic, you have a certain amount of points that you can allocate. For example, 8 points in Breech tree while there is 16 nodes available. Other than that a clean list of things that probably many of us old PoE players are exited about. :)

The essences that crafting bench uses aren't the same as essences as we know it/the ones GGG used showed in the livestream i don't think. I could be wrong though. The way Empy made it sound like, it seemed more similar to how harvest crafting juices were but for a singular stat, rather than it being an actual essence that you used to craft 1 stat to an item

[@paulsharke]

Those tool tips are dead sexy

[@fbwhitey]

Not sure if I'm sold on every map mechanic being available at the same time, it will be interesting to see how that design choice plays out. In PoE1 if there's a mechanic you don't like, you aren't 'forced' to play it (unless occasionally in SSF), and you don't feel like you're left behind or missing out since most atlas mechanics have somewhat similar loot payouts. It might be hard tto balance when a player is running the one mechanic they enjoy, vs the min-maxer who runs every mechanic (even if they don't enjoy them) because its the most profitable thing to do. The FOMO while running a low-income mechanic you enjoy is never fun. Theres also that atlas 'strategies' are essentially gone, which I always thought was cool to plan out your atlas just like you would plan out your character build, but I get that it might not be for everyone.

[@DavidWoodMusic]

I really want to see the "map" and currency stash tabs, haha

Considering that NeverSInk teased a toggle to change PoE1 to smth else in FilterBlade, I think it's safe to say that they're gonna be a thing. We know that he has contact to GGG in the background, so he'd know.

[@GladiatUnispect]

I have a question about the bench craft, does it add a regular affix or a crafted one, limited to one like in poe1?

[@Sindamsc]

So salvaging items reminds me of LE, but in LE, items drop identify, so you know, wich armor how high life roll, pick it up and disenchant, but in PoE, you need to pick up a lot of items and soend time identifying them to search for the life roll you need to craft?

Hi, thanks for the video! I'm not sure if i understood the Atlas structure very well. Can you explore it both horizontally and vertically? Is it like endless and procedural like delve? Also the fact that you can't do the same map ( or that if you die you cant "unlock" that node anymore ) it's really confusing. Can anyone try to explain me a bit more about it? Thanks, ciao :)

[@LucienZeroOne]

I make this short. Yes it is like delve and infinit in all directions. There will be a fog of war and you have to find some watchtowers for better vision. You will find clues from npcs on the way about special points of interest (with some rare loot etc) and secrets on the way. Some areas are influenced by some factions ( like elder/shaper in poe long time ago) you can craft your waypoints (maps) and manipulate watchtowers (like sextants) and yes you can run each area only one time. If you win good go ahead or if you die find a new path.
