One change I'm hoping for, as small as it is, is the ability to pick Male or Female characters for each class. I typically play as a summoner, but want to do my first playthrough as a female warrior/barbarian. Looks like it was just a male character shown for the class, though. Absolutely cannot wait for the early access either way.
@@Wunderkind04 This isn't Diablo 4. The change you're hoping for will never happen. You don't "customize/create" the appearance of your character in a menu, you simply pick the character at the very start of the game that already exists.
@@Valka077 Thanks, but I'm fully aware of how it works; I've played Path of Exile. I never asked for full character creation, just male/female variants for each class.
There are some mistakes here, but most importantly of all, the passive skill tree will still be there, and the skill gems have always been there, but instead of having to slot them in equipment like PoE, you simply have 9 slots for active skill gems on your character, each of which will have 5 slots for support gems by the end of the game. In addition, active skill gems no longer have an associated color, and the support slots can hold any gem color, as long as you have the required stats. The standard attack skill from your weapon is also a supportable skill, in addition to the other 9 active skills from gems. One thing that wasn't mentioned is the addition of spirit, which is used as a resource to power active skill gems that grant permanent buffs or permanent minions; this replaces the concept of reserving mana or life from PoE1, and it is increased only as a reward for completing certain missions. The uncut gems which can drop at random, with a certain number of guaranteed drops, have a gem level from 1 to 20, which dictates which skills you can turn them into, as each active skill has a minimum level of gem that can hold it. You can also use uncut gems of a higher level to increase the level of one of your skill gems, instead of unlocking a new skill, which enhances the skill's effects. Most importantly there are no class-specific skills, just like PoE1. Each weapon now has a specific skill which it grants, not necessarily an attack skill either. The skill mostly depends on weapon type, with a bit of variation in certain cases; for example, staves grant a spell, and different staves can grant different spells, including a skill that causes your next non-weapon spell to trigger three times, while scepters grant you spirit and a skill which can reserve spirit to summon minions (they've only shown scepters which grant skeletons, but there will probably be more variety in the type of minion granted). The skill tree is also much different, for two main reasons: the first is that it is much easier to respec (in terms of costs), which means that you can experiment with your build without blocking yourself, and the second is that the small nodes which give you attribute points are no longer fixed; you can choose which attribute they will increase, and respeccing an attribute node to change its attribute also costs less than unallocating it to place the skill point somewhere else, and you don't need to unallocate all the skill points after it to be able to do so, which makes it relatively easy to meet the requirements for support gems. Lastly, the number of new classes is 6, being Warrior, Druid, Sorcerer, Monk, Huntress, and Mercenary; there are 6 returning classes, being Marauder, Templar, Witch, Shadow, Ranger, and Duelist, and the Scion is the only class from PoE1 that won't appear in PoE2. The new and old classes wil share starting locations in pairs (in the order listed), and the passive skills close to the starting area of each class will change slightly to better differentiate each class from its paired class.
@@JHgamer101Jonathan Rogers has stated multiple times during interviews here and there that the aim is to have the EA last at least 6 months, depending on how many changes GGG have to make to the game.
@@andredornelles8014 its gotten extremely much better, its supposed to be more for casuals than poe is so that wont change but its a lot better than it was because they are actually listening to the players now

This video definitely has some factual and organization issues (like mentioning the change to support gem requirements but not what it actually is, later saying attributes are more meaningful, but completely leaving out how all the travel nodes let you pick which attribute you want and that each one enables another support gem of that color).
Fextralife certainly knows that, it seems to me that he wanted to highlight how you interact with gems rather, as it's not done excusively by moving your cursor on top of them
I used to agree on this but i get to enjoy PoE1 again by playing a less clutter build like Lacerate, is really players decission really, PoE2 can be clutter too if you play clutter screen build like summoner, just look at how they showcase summoner class in last few months
the thing is games like this are designed so u have to do the same mundane task for 100's of hours so u have to give players some qol, u need to have a point at which u can mindlessly play the game if u design ur game to be that farm intensive, and poe2 is gonna be a very farming intensive game.
At 2:05 you show the passive skill tree, which is not the new gem system and is not related to that refactor. The passive tree is still present in the game, it also has had significant changes, but is still the behemoth it's always been.

I'm super excited for POE2, but I can tell you right now that it will filter people who don't pay close enough attention during combat. There are bosses in Act 1 that will straight up make casuals quit the game. It wouldn't surprise me if GGG nerfed some stuff tbh.
Man, i love GGG so much. Listening to them talk reminds me of when Blizzard and Bioware were just a bunch of talented nerds that were passionate abt video games. Not many studios like that left.
So glad they made this a full blown sequel. The initial idea that it was an "update" to the base game always sounded goofy to me. I was like ok, so this is just a really big DLC?
@@rubisco5997 I figured it was going to be a dual system, where those wanting classic POE could have it, but those wanting more support could choose POE2. Given they wanted to change the way combat works and felt, they may have hit a brickwall in the code and realized "ok, we can either try to make the existing code change, or start from scratch with the new goals"
It still astounds me how a game with such quality is offered for free, when you get crap like Suicide Squad, Star Wars Outlaw, Skull and Bones, etc for $60+.

As long as I don't need a doctorate's degree to understand and play then I'll be there. I'm not a streamer, I'm a parent who loves games I don't have time to spend 10- 14 hours/day learning how to play.
I absolutely resonate with what you just said. It's hard to get into uber complex systems when your average session duration is 1 hr a day at most. It's just unreasonable and although I can appreciate what they have to offer and all the intricacies of the systems, I just lack the amount of headspace and time to fully delve into something like the first game was.
@@dr_ubo Yeah. It's unreasonable of developers to make it like that. Fuck all the people that want that, every game should be made exclusively for you.
@@Benettor20 why are you even watching this video if you know so much about the game? Everything is misinformation at this point because no one played the damn game yet. Just calm down and stop being trigered about a stupid detail 😊
That's not correct. They have only revealed 6 but said there will be 8. A quick google search will tell you that. You need to do research before you make a comment like that
@@Benettor20 Bro please go relax, maybe go out get a massage. Take the boyfriend out for icecream. Take 24 hours away from the internet youll thank me later.
THere is a class that looks pretty much like the Javazon from DIablo 2, I-WANT-THAT, that was always my favorite build in D2 and the closest I've played since was the Blessed Shield Crusader in Diablo 3, I want a lady yeeting lightning bolts like Rule 63 Zeus and if POE2 can provide that then they'll get a glowing review from me, hell just looking at the other classes they'll STILL probably get a glowing review. :)
I waited for years with excitement for D4. I played it through season 4 and just couldn't do it any longer. The campaign was amazing I thought and the cinematics were awesome. I truly believe I got my $70 out of it. That said, there is NO WAY i am buying an expansion with POE2 early access around the corner. I just got bored. Sad, really. I have played some POE over the years but Settlers is the first time I have ever gotten to mapping. I just wanted to get more familiar with the content. 36 ascendancies as a fairly casual player....probably on one per league. Yeah, POE2 will last me a LONG time theoretically!
I want a no auto target or atleast toggled auto target on console, aswell as the ability to walk backwards not turn and run. Also, a much better overlay map with visable entrances and walls vs what poe has where I get stuck on a wall that isn't a wall in the overlay but a black spot that just looks unexplored. Less piano keys and more fighting I don't mind if they slow the pace and make it harder that's fine just not to slow. I like that there will be less mob density and more monster effects seems much more hazardous. Also, I would love a zoom out, though it does look abit more zoomed out than poe I want more.
Im drawn to POE 2 because I know no matter what it will be supported for years by developers and honestly ARPG innovators. The team at GGG is amazing and only care about making the best ARPG they can for the players. I play Diablo 4 and POE and I look at POE 2 and am just blown away by what they are doing and the endless possibilities for builds an fun, and ultimately that is what we do this for right?
I think co-op is limited to 2 people on each console or PC, with a maximum of 6 people in the party. So I'm guessing if you have 2 consoles or PC's you can do co-op with both systems 2 each and still have 4 people playing 'together' on on story campaign or endgame
one thing that i dont like in games is restricted, small areas for boss fights, mostly like just some round pit and thats it, and what i see there will be alot of it in POE2.
Holycrap Wait, so does Min 1:20 also mean we get MnK support on console? I hope to god that’s the case, I can’t sink 100s of hours into a game on controller, my bank account just isn’t set up like that..
Yeah, they are working on seamless transition between controller and k+m for inventory management and menu navigation which are kind of annoying on a controller.
Only concern I have with the dodge button is how the entire game will be balanced around it. I hope it's not spammable Otherwise gameplay will turn into an ugly dodge spam fest.
I'm a huge fan of the Diablo franchise, but unfortunately, D4 feels like just D3 with a better graphics engine - S6 patch notes were the final nail in the coffin. PoE2, on the other hand, is truly shaping up to be the next-generation isometric aRPG. Jonathan's vision to completely transform the gameplay, shifting away from the current PoE/D3/D4 style of 'exploding the entire screen at lightning speed with countless artifacts' to a more slow-paced, tactical approach, is reason enough to be excited! I really hope he stays true to his vision and doesn't change it as D4 did due to lack of strong vision, design philosophy and pressure from D3 players. HYPE!
Im a console player and as much as i love PoE1, it feels so damn clunky. After read8ng theyre streamlining everything specifically for console use, im beyond hyped
Yea most people never noticed there is no miss sound in melee combat when you miss...no swish...,no whaft NOTHING. I hope they do a LOT of things different. It Needs to be a NEW GAME. OOF enemies with resistances...like d2? we are Forced to change our builds mid game or mid run to progress? NO thanks!
I hope POE2 although it will be different to D2R Will deliver a game like d2r with long lasting incentives and complex mechanics and therefore will be the true contender to D2R, as Diablo 4 so far and probably will never to be able to. I currently own a steam deck oled and would love to play that game on this machine. Nevertheless I would get a more powerful handheld since plying an arpg is such a joy to be played on those devices - therefore I’d love to see GGG focusing on that new way to play as well.
The combat system looks so amazing. Slower and more strategic. D4 gameplay is amazing but I feel like season 6 is going in the same direction as D3 did. Just getting a build that kills everything in secs without any mechanics. Poe 2 looks very promising!
I sure think Fextralife is extra exicted for the PoE2 release - just think about all those imbeded, dead streams on different plattforms and the revenue they will be able to generate!
If blizzard had the balls to do something like this with D4, it would have been game of the century instead of "crap I'm never going to play again past story and one season""
IT has improved, but with the next season and xpansion coming, it should have been better out of the gate. I think poe2 will be good, I will try it. I hope it does not have some of the same design problems that poe1 does.
@@douglasduda9826 I'm not buying the "try it now, it's less crap" thing that people keep saying every season. It's crap, it was crap at launch, it will be crap with the first expansion, it will probably be crap with the 4th expansion. No more second chances unless they are on a deep, deep, DEEP sale. And I mean 70% off or more.
@@raykael That is fine, did you ever play Poe like 10 years ago? Then recently? Same shit. D3 same...when it came out it was pretty bad, after the expansion I played 8 hours strait the first time Since it had released. It was leagues better, actually poe is the one that has probably changed the LEAST from when it started.
@@douglasduda9826 I disagree on basically everything you said here. POE at launch was a completely different experience to me, I liked it. D4 at launch was crap, I was only motivated by the campaign and even that ended poorly, and felt like I was being sold half of it. Then I tried the first season and it was horrible. I tried 3 seasons in total, every time with high praises "everything is so much better now", and I even got to level 100 (on season of blood, I believe) and it was a huge disappointment. And now they are coming out with an expansion with a crappy class that nobody wanted, leaving behind tons of classes that people was literally begging for (templar, monk, amazon, paladin, assassin.... they had SO MANY OPTIONS, the community literally asks for those every single day, and what do they do? Here, take the tribal hunter nobody wanted and asked for, you're welcome. Fuck off...). All while POE2 boasts more classes at launch than D4 will ever have. Unbelievable.
I'm amazed at the percentages for the anticipation of the new ARPGs (including expansions) coming 60% for POE2 over D4s expansion (24%) th-cam.com/video/HQe3NNtmWqg/w-d-xo.html D4's expansion I'm steering well clear of. D4 was a huge disappointment. Build variety is nothing compared to what even D2 had. POE's gem system is amazing. You can build almost anything Viable or Not. Still fun as heck. I'm looking forward to see how the 4 classes that didn't have any showcases will play. Especially the Templar. The Marauder, Shadow, Duelist, and Templar is said not to be included in Early Access. there's already a second Closed Beta happening now for POE2. I think there's more on the way before EA. Hopefully I will get an invite.
Вы же понимаете, что финальным и ключевым итогом для игры будет оптимизация проекта? Если она выйдет на низком уровне, то все ваши старания сойдут на нет. Надеюсь всё будет хорошо.
It looks complex until you break the nodes down to their base functions of "more damage" and "more toughness" either you go for nodes that give you damage or make you harder to kill, ofc a experienced player can navigate the tree a lot more efficiently but its a learning experience :)
Games nearly need a new "Veteran" difficulty these days... no not harder, but easier... for all us old boys that have been gaming for decades but whose reflexes are no longer what they used to be. :)
@@Grimasaurus you dont really need reflexe's tho there are many things a veteran with job can do to complete the game, (example) i havea guy in my friends list in poe1 who is 65, he has two kids in their 20's, he doesnt race the game at launch of leaguestart and just flips items, every league he has thousands of trades and makes more money than 99.8 players do and just buys good gear and finishes the league, you dont need to have reflexes to play the game just think outside the box
this game has to much bloat, it's so convoluted, most players just blindly play away with no idea of what they are doing or what their objectives are. Need to download and follow a build planner, need to go to a website for trade, need to download a loot filter. need to go to a website to figure out areas and how they work like labs and maps. Questing is a mix of optional and story, i still don't know what quests to do to advance the acts. 3 armor types with no real explanation between armor types like armor,evasion and energy shield. Somehow you have to use trade cards that you have to farm for different armors specific to your class. Gems that have a main component and a support component that work together, maybe, if you can figure out what gems go with what gems and then you have to have the right color and then they have to have to be linked.Somehow you can change the number of sockets, you can change the colors and you can change the links. you have to have the right mats and there are like 12 different crafing mats. spells on 10 different keys, maybe, if you have the right gems. Ascending from starting char to the ascended character is not clear, i did mine at level 50, not even knowing that was something i was suppose to do. I've probably spent more time watching videos trying to figure everything out, than i have actually played... people with hundreds of hours played, still considered newbies, The game is a little overwhelming and intimidating to say the least, no one want to put hours and hours into a game only to find out they didn't do half the stuff they were suppose to do. On top of all that, trying to get info on the game is very hard, most of the info is 5-10 years old.
@@Tianchrisy15 November is early Access release but it has not been confirmed how people will be able to play it. It may work like a closed beta like the one PoE1 had.
I think GGG is talking about implementing possibly the new graphics engine that is going to be used in PoE2 after the launch... he said it is something they will be willing to explore AFTER community feedback happens after the launch of PoE2
I missed poe 1. Do i need to know the story of poe 1 to play 2? Also i noticed PoE 1 had some kind of housing in it, is this gonna be a thing in 2 does anyone know? I love any kind of housing in games.
i think you should play some of poe 1 at least on a basic level, the game is not that complicated if you break it down step by step, it seems complicated and thats why many people quit it , poe 2 will have a housing system (hideout) but you wont be able to understand poe 2 if you are scared and overwhelmed to play poe 1
@ahazu1445 I'm not scared to play it I just never got into it and to be honest when I heard how difficult it could be I was turned off because I shouldn't have to look at game guides and videos to learn a game. So basically it prevented me from even trying based on that. Fast forward many years later I like what I see in current PoE2 streams and the game looks appealing. This is why i asked. Yes I could play 1 until beta comes out but I would rather wait.
No you do not. And if you want to learn a bit about lore, the Wikipedia actually has a nice guide to let you know what is what and who is who in the world PoE.
ARPGs are my favorite genre and I've tried getting into POE1 like 10 times but always lose interest cause there's just too much there. With the incredible graphics, a fresh start, and somewhat more streamlined systems, I can't wait to jump into POE2!

I like both POE and Diablo IV. So it's a win for me. I can't lose. 😂
I kid you not I only bought I ps5 so I can play this game, can't wait for it!!
Might want to consider taking this video down, as pieces of the information are just incorrect. Not great to leave that up.
go back to the drawing board, too many mistakes in your vid
is "Fextralife" afterall 🤣
As long as I don't need a doctorate's degree to understand and play then I'll be there. I'm not a streamer, I'm a parent who loves games I don't have time to spend 10- 14 hours/day learning how to play.
The series is not for you then. Either that or learn to just play for fun. Either that or quit gaming. These are your options.
I absolutely resonate with what you just said. It's hard to get into uber complex systems when your average session duration is 1 hr a day at most. It's just unreasonable and although I can appreciate what they have to offer and all the intricacies of the systems, I just lack the amount of headspace and time to fully delve into something like the first game was.
@@dr_ubo Yeah. It's unreasonable of developers to make it like that. Fuck all the people that want that, every game should be made exclusively for you.
sorry to disappoint but this game will eventually be larger than poe1, even at launch it will be hard to understand
@@ZoraTheExplora Mr. Too cool for school over here. As elite and niche as you think you are, it's a game, get real.
Spears and quarterstaves, let's go! Polearm combat is best melee combat
Did you even do any research before posting this video? the game will have SIX (6) new classes not 8. Stop spreading misinformation.
@@Benettor20 why are you even watching this video if you know so much about the game? Everything is misinformation at this point because no one played the damn game yet. Just calm down and stop being trigered about a stupid detail 😊
Calm down buddy, go get some sun and take beep breaths.. its going to be ok.
That's not correct. They have only revealed 6 but said there will be 8. A quick google search will tell you that. You need to do research before you make a comment like that
@@andrewg9107 you're wrong. There's 6 new classes from the existing 6 in poe1 taking the total up to 12. Smh
@@Benettor20 Bro please go relax, maybe go out get a massage. Take the boyfriend out for icecream. Take 24 hours away from the internet youll thank me later.
Man, I need to have a good PC built by November 15th.
I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS!
This game will rock my socks, im beyond excited
Fextra employee : But boss, I don't know much about any of these PoE games.
Fextra Boss : Just say whatever.
How can i sign up for early access?
THere is a class that looks pretty much like the Javazon from DIablo 2, I-WANT-THAT, that was always my favorite build in D2 and the closest I've played since was the Blessed Shield Crusader in Diablo 3, I want a lady yeeting lightning bolts like Rule 63 Zeus and if POE2 can provide that then they'll get a glowing review from me, hell just looking at the other classes they'll STILL probably get a glowing review. :)
I waited for years with excitement for D4. I played it through season 4 and just couldn't do it any longer. The campaign was amazing I thought and the cinematics were awesome. I truly believe I got my $70 out of it. That said, there is NO WAY i am buying an expansion with POE2 early access around the corner. I just got bored. Sad, really. I have played some POE over the years but Settlers is the first time I have ever gotten to mapping. I just wanted to get more familiar with the content. 36 ascendancies as a fairly casual player....probably on one per league. Yeah, POE2 will last me a LONG time theoretically!
I want a no auto target or atleast toggled auto target on console, aswell as the ability to walk backwards not turn and run. Also, a much better overlay map with visable entrances and walls vs what poe has where I get stuck on a wall that isn't a wall in the overlay but a black spot that just looks unexplored. Less piano keys and more fighting I don't mind if they slow the pace and make it harder that's fine just not to slow. I like that there will be less mob density and more monster effects seems much more hazardous. Also, I would love a zoom out, though it does look abit more zoomed out than poe I want more.
definitely the upcoming arpg I'm most interested in, by far.
Im drawn to POE 2 because I know no matter what it will be supported for years by developers and honestly ARPG innovators. The team at GGG is amazing and only care about making the best ARPG they can for the players. I play Diablo 4 and POE and I look at POE 2 and am just blown away by what they are doing and the endless possibilities for builds an fun, and ultimately that is what we do this for right?
get hyped -.- dude i'm hyped since first teaser/trailer back in 2019 or somewhere near that. i want to play..........................
So excited we are finally getting a Diablo 3.
We’re about to go from the worst arpg minion experience in poe to possibly the best in poe2
I was turned away from POE1 due to beginner unfriendly complexity. But I hope POE2 will give me 2nd chance.
Dude your title doesn’t make sense.
Things have hype - they can’t BE hype…
looks like its going to be the diablo2 of the path of exile series in terms of iconic genre defining success story
I got a new PC for this (also, because my old one was 7 years old at this point, but we're not here to discuss that)
wait when did they say early access is going to last 6months
Is there going to be local co-op on PC? Hoping for 4 players. Me and my family play 4 player local co-op in Minecraft Dungeons.
I think co-op is limited to 2 people on each console or PC, with a maximum of 6 people in the party. So I'm guessing if you have 2 consoles or PC's you can do co-op with both systems 2 each and still have 4 people playing 'together' on on story campaign or endgame
one thing that i dont like in games is restricted, small areas for boss fights, mostly like just some round pit and thats it, and what i see there will be alot of it in POE2.
Still want to see what mapping looks like before l’m onboard. The pace of movement and battle still looks pretty slow going.
My guys are cooking
Holycrap Wait, so does Min 1:20 also mean we get MnK support on console?
I hope to god that’s the case, I can’t sink 100s of hours into a game on controller, my bank account just isn’t set up like that..
Yeah, they are working on seamless transition between controller and k+m for inventory management and menu navigation which are kind of annoying on a controller.
Weird enough, Im 2nd most thing I'm excited to have a dodge button. Main thing is the new skills system and hopefully it will be beginner friendly
Only concern I have with the dodge button is how the entire game will be balanced around it.
I hope it's not spammable
Otherwise gameplay will turn into an ugly dodge spam fest.
Is Melee good here in POE2?
I'm a huge fan of the Diablo franchise, but unfortunately, D4 feels like just D3 with a better graphics engine - S6 patch notes were the final nail in the coffin. PoE2, on the other hand, is truly shaping up to be the next-generation isometric aRPG. Jonathan's vision to completely transform the gameplay, shifting away from the current PoE/D3/D4 style of 'exploding the entire screen at lightning speed with countless artifacts' to a more slow-paced, tactical approach, is reason enough to be excited! I really hope he stays true to his vision and doesn't change it as D4 did due to lack of strong vision, design philosophy and pressure from D3 players. HYPE!
Switching between active skills and slower gameplay doesn't excite me. Maybe hands on experience can change my mind in 2025
Im a console player and as much as i love PoE1, it feels so damn clunky. After read8ng theyre streamlining everything specifically for console use, im beyond hyped
This will not kill D4
Yea most people never noticed there is no miss sound in melee combat when you miss...no swish...,no whaft NOTHING. I hope they do a LOT of things different. It Needs to be a NEW GAME. OOF enemies with resistances...like d2? we are Forced to change our builds mid game or mid run to progress? NO thanks!
I hope POE2 although it will be different to D2R Will deliver a game like d2r with long lasting incentives and complex mechanics and therefore will be the true contender to D2R, as Diablo 4 so far and probably will never to be able to. I currently own a steam deck oled and would love to play that game on this machine. Nevertheless I would get a more powerful handheld since plying an arpg is such a joy to be played on those devices - therefore I’d love to see GGG focusing on that new way to play as well.
D4: give me your wallet and I’ll give you a single new class. Poe2: Hey here is 8 new classes in our FTP game,
The combat system looks so amazing. Slower and more strategic. D4 gameplay is amazing but I feel like season 6 is going in the same direction as D3 did. Just getting a build that kills everything in secs without any mechanics.
Poe 2 looks very promising!
i've never played PoE and it looks intimidating to get started, but i'm excited about PoE2 so i guess should dive in.
This one is for me
Steam deck compatible and offline mode?
Guaranteed no offline mode
is campaign skippable ??? bc if not im not playing it
No
game journalists today
plz tell me this footage is from poe1... looks like it was made in 2002
uh oh, looking like another fextra life wiki to avoid
I sure think Fextralife is extra exicted for the PoE2 release - just think about all those imbeded, dead streams on different plattforms and the revenue they will be able to generate!
Its going to be nice having this to play between seasons in D4. Gonna keep me busy !
Playing POE while I am waiting for this gem
If blizzard had the balls to do something like this with D4, it would have been game of the century instead of "crap I'm never going to play again past story and one season""
IT has improved, but with the next season and xpansion coming, it should have been better out of the gate. I think poe2 will be good, I will try it. I hope it does not have some of the same design problems that poe1 does.
@@douglasduda9826 I'm not buying the "try it now, it's less crap" thing that people keep saying every season. It's crap, it was crap at launch, it will be crap with the first expansion, it will probably be crap with the 4th expansion. No more second chances unless they are on a deep, deep, DEEP sale. And I mean 70% off or more.
@@raykael That is fine, did you ever play Poe like 10 years ago? Then recently? Same shit. D3 same...when it came out it was pretty bad, after the expansion I played 8 hours strait the first time Since it had released. It was leagues better, actually poe is the one that has probably changed the LEAST from when it started.
@@douglasduda9826 I disagree on basically everything you said here. POE at launch was a completely different experience to me, I liked it. D4 at launch was crap, I was only motivated by the campaign and even that ended poorly, and felt like I was being sold half of it. Then I tried the first season and it was horrible. I tried 3 seasons in total, every time with high praises "everything is so much better now", and I even got to level 100 (on season of blood, I believe) and it was a huge disappointment.
And now they are coming out with an expansion with a crappy class that nobody wanted, leaving behind tons of classes that people was literally begging for (templar, monk, amazon, paladin, assassin.... they had SO MANY OPTIONS, the community literally asks for those every single day, and what do they do? Here, take the tribal hunter nobody wanted and asked for, you're welcome. Fuck off...).
All while POE2 boasts more classes at launch than D4 will ever have.
Unbelievable.
I'm amazed at the percentages for the anticipation of the new ARPGs (including expansions) coming 60% for POE2 over D4s expansion (24%) th-cam.com/video/HQe3NNtmWqg/w-d-xo.html
D4's expansion I'm steering well clear of. D4 was a huge disappointment. Build variety is nothing compared to what even D2 had. POE's gem system is amazing. You can build almost anything Viable or Not. Still fun as heck.
I'm looking forward to see how the 4 classes that didn't have any showcases will play. Especially the Templar. The Marauder, Shadow, Duelist, and Templar is said not to be included in Early Access.
there's already a second Closed Beta happening now for POE2. I think there's more on the way before EA. Hopefully I will get an invite.
Вы же понимаете, что финальным и ключевым итогом для игры будет оптимизация проекта? Если она выйдет на низком уровне, то все ваши старания сойдут на нет. Надеюсь всё будет хорошо.
Awesome!
The amount of mistakes in this vid…. Yep, it’s the good old fextralife we know
This video has all the tell-tale signs of a product made just for clicks and no interest in the actual game whatsoever.
I played quite a lot of this genre, but never touch Path of exile. What the hell is that skill tree lol 😂
its mostly small passive buffs with a few more build defining nodes
It looks complex until you break the nodes down to their base functions of "more damage" and "more toughness" either you go for nodes that give you damage or make you harder to kill, ofc a experienced player can navigate the tree a lot more efficiently but its a learning experience :)
If you've played quite a lot of this genre, PoE 1 will get you hooked since PoE 2 won't be out for the next 2 months.
Can't wait give me NOW must have
My only concern for this game is that it will be too easy. Other than that, i have never been this excited for a game. Ever.
Less mobs and more meaningful battles would be great!
Games nearly need a new "Veteran" difficulty these days... no not harder, but easier... for all us old boys that have been gaming for decades but whose reflexes are no longer what they used to be. :)
That's where D4 shines though, PoE was always has been targeting the sweaty gamers, meanwhile D4 is still "thriving" with its casual friendly content
@@cabal123123123 Pretty sure if you asked GGG's founder, he won't say "We specifically targeted sweaty gamers."
@@Grimasaurus you dont really need reflexe's tho there are many things a veteran with job can do to complete the game, (example) i havea guy in my friends list in poe1 who is 65, he has two kids in their 20's, he doesnt race the game at launch of leaguestart and just flips items, every league he has thousands of trades and makes more money than 99.8 players do and just buys good gear and finishes the league, you dont need to have reflexes to play the game just think outside the box
They need to launch it already tho…
this game has to much bloat, it's so convoluted, most players just blindly play away with no idea of what they are doing or what their objectives are. Need to download and follow a build planner, need to go to a website for trade, need to download a loot filter. need to go to a website to figure out areas and how they work like labs and maps.
Questing is a mix of optional and story, i still don't know what quests to do to advance the acts.
3 armor types with no real explanation between armor types like armor,evasion and energy shield. Somehow you have to use trade cards that you have to farm for different armors specific to your class.
Gems that have a main component and a support component that work together, maybe, if you can figure out what gems go with what gems and then you have to have the right color and then they have to have to be linked.Somehow you can change the number of sockets, you can change the colors and you can change the links. you have to have the right mats and there are like 12 different crafing mats.
spells on 10 different keys, maybe, if you have the right gems. Ascending from starting char to the ascended character is not clear, i did mine at level 50, not even knowing that was something i was suppose to do. I've probably spent more time watching videos trying to figure everything out, than i have actually played...
people with hundreds of hours played, still considered newbies,
The game is a little overwhelming and intimidating to say the least, no one want to put hours and hours into a game only to find out they didn't do half the stuff they were suppose to do.
On top of all that, trying to get info on the game is very hard, most of the info is 5-10 years old.
Did they move the release date?
I thought this was going to be released in 2024.
15 november ea release
@@Smokey1911 ahhhhhh okay i thought it was just a Beta again. Totally misread it
@@Tianchrisy15 November is early Access release but it has not been confirmed how people will be able to play it.
It may work like a closed beta like the one PoE1 had.
yea i hope it works better the POE 1 on my pc
i always keet getting random stuttering which put me off playing it :(
I think GGG is talking about implementing possibly the new graphics engine that is going to be used in PoE2 after the launch... he said it is something they will be willing to explore AFTER community feedback happens after the launch of PoE2
@@elevatedstatus4419 yea heres hoping
Path of Exile 2 will destroy all ARPGs
I missed poe 1. Do i need to know the story of poe 1 to play 2? Also i noticed PoE 1 had some kind of housing in it, is this gonna be a thing in 2 does anyone know? I love any kind of housing in games.
i think you should play some of poe 1 at least on a basic level, the game is not that complicated if you break it down step by step, it seems complicated and thats why many people quit it , poe 2 will have a housing system (hideout) but you wont be able to understand poe 2 if you are scared and overwhelmed to play poe 1
@ahazu1445 I'm not scared to play it I just never got into it and to be honest when I heard how difficult it could be I was turned off because I shouldn't have to look at game guides and videos to learn a game. So basically it prevented me from even trying based on that. Fast forward many years later I like what I see in current PoE2 streams and the game looks appealing. This is why i asked. Yes I could play 1 until beta comes out but I would rather wait.
Don you need to finished POE1 to Play poe2?
No you do not. And if you want to learn a bit about lore, the Wikipedia actually has a nice guide to let you know what is what and who is who in the world PoE.
I want to see the mage abilities look anywhere near as impactful and cool as the other ranged classes. So far spellcasters look boring and uninspired
Why has this video got a lot of dislikes, any idea?
Many factual and misleading mistakes like other people pointed out in other comments.
ARPGs are my favorite genre and I've tried getting into POE1 like 10 times but always lose interest cause there's just too much there. With the incredible graphics, a fresh start, and somewhat more streamlined systems, I can't wait to jump into POE2!
