I think I'm gonna go play POE2 blind solo self found without watching streams on my first playthrough. People forget how good it is to just discover a game without spoilers/guides
What do those terminologies like solo selfbound mean? I think last epoch had something like that at the start when u had to make a new char, what does it mean? Does it mean items are for your characters only or accounts?
This channel has become the PoE2 waiting room. A daily video of 30-45 mins about the game isn't satiating me much, the wait is hell, this channel is purgatory.
Yeah, because it was so difficult to recolor a piece of gear, or four link a pair of gloves. Almost impossible actually... Maybe the poe franchise isn't for you.
I'm a little less interested in how many D4 players will be trying out PoE2, and more intrigued by how many/who will be playing PoE2 as their first ARPG, or first since D2/D3. I've seen a fair number of pretty big names react to the livestream, the game seems to be getting a fair amount of interest from players who aren't big ARPG Andy's, and that could be what cements PoE2 as the real top dog.
Would you mind telling me who are some of the people who reacted to it because they seem to be on Twitch and I can't find some vods on TH-cam. Very interested as well to the experience of complete first timers to PoE2
I think if poe1 won’t interest them Poe two barely would it has its own niche of players they are targeting. The content is hard specially when new. I can see a lot of people logging off and uninstalling early not expecting the difficulty spike to be like it will be. Anyone else remember their first campaign playthrough without a guide?
I am one of those people! Unless you count Lost Ark as an ARPG. My friends had me try out diablo 4 but I quit the game after a couple hours. Some of it for personal reasons (didn't like the setting). But when I did try to find out about the endgame, most of what I saw were just dungeon runs. It looked like the endgame was litterally just gear check mobs and the pinnacle of endgame was basically making builds that made it so you didn't actually have to play the game. Mix that with the amount of time it takes to get to the end game and it just looked like a pointless time sink. So anyways I'm looking forward to POE2 the movement, boss mechanics, build potential, the increased stakes for both hardcore and soft core, the gfx, and each of the 6 classes (that we know about) all look exceptional. It looks like a game with limitless replayability I've even got a friend who's never played an ARPG that's going to try it out with me (he's excited) So yeah I am ready! And am drinking up every type of poe content I can find
This is me, I've only played D1-3 (and some Torchlight), and while I was interested in PoE I never got around to it, mainly because of how intimidating it looked. Can't wait to get to PoE2 and see how far I can get blind!
@@CharlesRobson-bp5eg To be honest, I enjoy his content. However, he's been leaning heavily into clickbait for a while now. This is becoming an issue because even his "honest opinion" pieces don't always come across as genuine anymore. But in the end, what really matters is what brings in the most revenue..
As soon as Poe 2 drops i wont watch any TH-camr. I want to figure all Things Out by myself want to enjoy all the way to Endgame by myself. I think that TH-camr mostly destroy this Part of such Games
Issue is although this game will hold your hand poe1 didn't do that so people depended on youtubers or other content creators to help them reach endgame. Without them the game would have sucked.
Same. I've not watched any gameplay except the Act 1 boss (regret it, it was an accident) and what was in the endgame reveal video. I watch these videos like a podcast without looking at the video footage.
FYI: GGG is on record saying that if you brick your Atlas, it'll reset. You will not find yourself in a situation where you can't progress in the endgame due to having died on multiple nodes of the map.
i'm one of those few people that play poe 1 on console and the real main issue with it is trading. There's a lot less players which makes the values of things crazy and a lot people there act like they are economist experts fixing prices lmfao. Very excited for a crossplay environment :D
Values of things go crazy because drops of those things are crazy low. Increase the players by 10x, it wont change the prices much. The trade wont change much, they like giving the players a free economy and price fixing part of it.
Goat… 10c items sometimes was 5d-10d if it was 30c. I get that but that made no sense. Granted I’m a console player you get use to the market everything’s kinda worth something so this will be fun
When folk talk about the pinnacle bosses being difficult and only having one attempt, my mind goes back to the reveal stream where they talked about how that has allowed them to make the bosses much more rewarding loot-wise. With no cheese (hopefully) and no corpse running to clear the content, the drops can be worthy of the difficulty of clearing the content. I'd much rather a system like that than a 1% drop slot machine to hopefully get something vaguely worthwhile, and this is coming from someone trash at the game, I can't even beat the freaking t17 bosses, let alone the pinnacle bosses. That said, I never really put time into learning those bosses because I felt like I could make currency faster and easier farming something like Harvest and selling juice to other people.
Well, tbh, t17 bosses, even the easiest one on the factory, can still be harder then pinnacle bosses once you properly juice your map. I constantly rolled 200%currency/scarabs, with 3 deli orbs, and i literally had to fight the boss 15-40 seconds(40 if more life+extra es) on average, with a 200mil dps warden LS (also depended on strat and what scarabs i used) Whereas any pinnacle boss just dropped dead within like 6-8~ seconds. So it isnt really your fault, or you being shit. More like even the base requirment to do this kind of content is a 200-300+ div build.
@@Fandelgore ah yes, the isometric good old loot driven arpg dark souls. If you like the slot like gameplay you should try coinmaster - basically the same game as PoE
There isn't much that needs fixing, is there? It's a perfect game for the ones it was intended for. Sure it might "lack endgame" for the core POE player, but that's not who they made the game for. They made it for the working dad with a couple children, that have a few hours every week to play the game. And for those, the game is close to perfect. You have just enough complexity for them to wrap their head around it with the time they have to invest into it. And they can play a whole season and still not reach pit 150. It probably wasn't made for you, if you think it needs fixing. Play something else, like POE.
@@ShaddyzZz I *am* the working dad. Four-year-old twins; I play maybe 2hrs a night at the most. The last D4 campaign was, as DM said, dog$hit, and the endgame is just flat out boring. I'm no PoE fanboy either - I've walked away from every character I've had at lvl 95, but the story line was much more captivating and the fact that we got all the added content in Settlers for free compared to the money grab that was Vessel (and the 30 bazillion DPS spiritborn) just did it in for me.If anything, PoE2 seems much more amenable to casual games based on what I've seen.
The game is pretty good, they just forgot to add Diablo to it. Like, how can you fking release a Diablo game without the main bad guy being Diablo? ITS IN THE FKING NAME. How did they all not get fired for that alone. The Diablo 3 campaign was so much better.
I'm not sure I actually agree with this. People are still conflating the blizzard of old with new blizzard, where almost none of the original talent is still working there. They don't have a cultured and developed development team so I think they simply lack the expertise to make a truly strong product. It's why they keep chasing old ideas and even then fail to understand why the old ideas were good in the first place. BTW if you're looking for other arpg's in the meantime, titan quest and grim dawn are good choices. They're slower and more campaign-focused. Sacred 2 is also pretty good although it's a bit weird and janky
I havnt had a pre-game jitters like this in a couple decades.... last one was WOW -> TBC release.... its keeping me up at night like a freaking kid! its hillarious! ^^
12:33 You will be one of first ginger Alaskan guy with long hair and a razer chair who's channel name starts with Darth and ends with TV who defeats the pinnacle boss. Amazing achievement
I'm excited for the game, don't get me wrong. Tough I have to sympathize with Grim Dawn ( where I have close to 600hres) which is my favorite ARPG of all time. It is so overshadowed by games of this size which I find sad at times. I think it's a more niche ARPG but still it holds a special place in my heart. That being said, so pumped for the 6th ! This studio is crazy !
@@Hollywooddecember it is essentially the rarest current items. many ppl have played 10+ years and never dropped one. It can be used on an item to duplicate it. so it is used to duplicate the craziest crafted rares in the entire game.
Wait WTF do you mean by 3x stack? I had a single mirror shard drop once... Also seen a mirror drop for someone else once but that was in alpha when the drop rate was like 100-1000x higher.
@@MsHojat Was a very lucky drop from a juiced delirium map while I was playing with a couple buddies. The only other thing I found valuable ever was a madeblood while doing a tribute to the goddess in affliction.
Long as gameplay wise you didn’t mind it or difficulty wise you should be fine but if that wasn’t your cup of tea I’d be careful but still hope you try it
My mom plays poe religiously and she dropped a mirrors drop of mirror of kaladra on her first ever mirror drop she got 2 at once, she never sold them or anything still has them
@@JamieR she doesnt play on steam, but if i had to guess id say shes aproaching 10k hours, she plays hundreds of hours nearly every leauge because its the only game she plays litterally nothing else because she cant. she started a few leauges before metamorph i think
@@JamieR some win the lottery playing the 1st time. why do people think its something that has to happen after or in a certain amount of time/hours? either you are lucky or you dont its that simple, more hours the more likely it is to be the lucky one but that doesnt mean you "HAVE" to be lucky 🤣
@@PsYcO9iKiLl9YaHoh god someone doesn't know what probabilities are... there is an average number of hours whenre you "should" get it. Obviously it's an average, but it's still a fact
@@SuperDdall exactly. especially when to combat that we would have to use a shotgun ourselves or be that much better where movement aides in you missing and us hitting. smg vs shotty we lose most the time. snipers at least take some precision, and their kind of slow to raise, definitely don't want to hip fire. shotguns are hip fire one shot machines. love shotties for real home defense, video games, im good, too strong.
Shotguns need somewhat realistic modelling like in Tarkov not the whole 'between here and here is 1 shot, from here the buck evaporates into the ether'. I can understand why people don't like that implementation.
What's so refreshing it to listen to a Dev who actually understands his own game, who can comment in detail to some actually quite in depth question with confidence but also with some honesty (re potential updates/fixes once the game goes live in early access) rather than the BS we've become used to from a certain other developer over the past 18 months.
I think the biggest issue in the drama was who was given access and specifically Fextralife dude. Much of the past of that person is well documented on shady tactics and overall scummy behaviour.
3500 hours, no mirrors - 1 mirror shard from shipments and thats it. but ive dropped multiple of most t0's - chanced a hh, and made a legendary mb pull from the void. I suspect the mirror is gonna drop towards the end of a dead league, so it can rot in standard for all eternity, with all the other trash
@@roadrash2005 Oh that would definitely be interesting, i thought it would be more fun if you got control of one of the characters you picked, and both teams were scaled appropriately, or something similar
i agree blind play through is so much better, personally wish they didn't even show any numbers on nodes/boss fights just solely for the excitement building and just discovery feeling we all used to experience playing old games. I understand times have changed, so as long as they don't go the route of D4 where every single streamer and content creator had the entire game 1 week before everyone else and they all worked out pre-set builds and everything so no one had anything to discover - then I'll be happy.
I have 150 h in s6 of D4. I will be playing POE2for whole early access , because POE2 is huge and it has many classes with full endgame,and large build variety. How ever, i will come back to d4 from time to time. I must admit, that POE2 won me over during this last week, im sold. .. That is if my 3060ti and 5600x can handle it since its UE5....
My first mirror drop was an insane time I was leveling a HCSSF after losing my last character, and I found it in the Burning Fields. Totally blew my mind and is the pinnacle of my endeavors. I will never move it from where it is in my stash, and if I could put it in a display case in my HO I would
I don't mind content creators getting early access as long as they respect the NDA and only release information once authorized. Some people DO enjoy having a lot of information on day 1. Let them have their fun. The rest of us can just ignore it completely and play blind the first time.
Hey DM thanks for all your videos and funny jokes. Quick question.. I like that they are only releasing half the acts and would like to playthrough all 6 characters to get a feel for each, but I am limited on hours, especially until end of december where I am doing a lot of overtime... Is getting to end of act 1, worthy of seeing how each character feels, or should I strive to get to the end of act 3 to see which ones I want to continue with to end game? Thank you in advance for your response!
Definetly wasn’t, same person that cried about not getting a review copy of a game then trying to tank the reviews of said game because they weren’t catered too.
Why is Fextra a rat company? They hire real gamers (goid or bad at the respective games, they are real gamers). They take nothing away from gamers and do exactly what independent streamers or gaming magazine do. They operate on coverage and review like everyone else. Cas is a gamer to the core. I'd say he is almost the face of the company at this point. Curious to know how the company is bad for gaming?
I will play this game like internet doesn't exist. Will figure shit by myself and will find other people/ friends who do the same thing and talk about the game without the people obsessing over min/max or finishing the game in a few hours. I really want to make it a great experience and figuring things out the old way.
If there is. it only means that they were an enormous hit and they made money which they can invest in giving us a better and better game down the line. and they deserve it.
Attempts to overhype the game are going very successfull imo, but really - majority of people need to login only once for 5 minutes just to leave it till builds/guides/paythroughts will be ready.
@@NirNiobis so a few things. there are already guides popping out and there will be a ton from day 1........... and of course you are talking about the new players. veteran PoE players dont need guides to get started. Also not sure i understand your mention of overhyping the game. at the very least. GGG has proven themselves as being one of the very rare Dev Teams that cares about their playerbase. That is why there is this much hype. ppl trust them. It is like Larian.
Im so glad i grew up in an era where we played zelda, solo, and came together after weekends and would share info we all found while playing. By far the best experience and all young gamers are missing out. So many watch others experience the game instead of themselves.
Just bought the $160.00 supporter bundle and for the first time I don’t feel cheated in buying digital goods. And it helps that it comes with a t-shirt
Explosive shot fixes the Grenade issue, Hitting the grenade with explosive shot will force them to detonate before there fuse goes off.. for anyone curious
This is the comment I’m looking for. I’m a console only player have a PS5. Very casual gamer and Diablo four was my first ARPG and I do enjoy it. But looking for something else to play when I get bored of the season. Which this season happened very quickly my spirit born, could do everything and wasn’t interested in doing another class. Hoping this takes over and I don’t feel too overwhelmed.
As someone who has played D3, D4 and a little bit of Last Epoch. D4 was a let down; I didn’t even bother with vessel of hatred. LE was good just didn’t scratch the itch I was looking for. I’ve never played the og Path of Exile but I’m stoked for PoE2.
I will never buy Vessel because that should have come with the game on release. All it did was piss me off even more. They owe their player base the next 3-5 expansions for free. We shouldn't have to pay jack for their lack of content on release. How do you release a game named Diablo without Diablo? HOW DO YOU RELEASE A GAME NAMED DIABLO WITHOUT DIABLO. ffs morons. all of them.
Started playing in beast league. On one of my first tier 2 maps. From a chest that i just opened because as a noob i opened chests. A mirror dropped. On a character called SlowIdiot. I even made a post asking advice how to use it. Sold it for 200 something exalts. Didn't even realise it was important or how actually rare it was. Never owned a mirror ever since.
Im kinda surprised GGG gave Fextralife a copy at all, like the guy has no following at all, only a wiki that he embeds to inflate his viewcount, there's a reason he hasn't streamed on Twitch since the embed change took place.
the wiki he maintains is quite important for several games, but he isn't actually needed for that as GGG can make a PoE2 wiki themselves, the same way PoE1 has an official wiki
@@ezet are they changing the first 3 acts that they all have played already,,,you honestly dont see an advantage with this? im not attacking anybody, im just saying that its a policy that promotes an unfair advantage
I’m glad they’re removing the socket RNG bullshit. Honestly, a lot of people just seem to try and pretend that path of exiles RNG isn’t as extremely withholding as it is. Apart from Destiny vanilla I don’t think there’s a looter with as stingy of a looting system.
One mirror, probably 6k hours total game play--felt so good I was on my second to last portal, I died and it dropped at the same time. Lets just say that was the most nerve racking last portal EVER, retrieving it
+2500 hrs in POE1 across 10 years, no mirror, not even a mirror fragment. I understand having rare drops in a game, but the mirror drop rate is ridiculous.
Well, it should be ... its the rarest item in the game. I have 2.4k hours on Steam POE and then probably the same amount on the stand alone client and Ive never found a mirror (or shard) either
Never dove into PoE1, but am excited to be a true noob in PoE2 as my "first introduction". **BUT** having played Diablo2 for 2decades+++ never finding that "holy grail" unless you go trading... I feel that pain, entirely.
@@V3nomEX_DE - Yeah it's the rarest item in the game, but still doesn't justify such a low drop rate. I get that the item is super OP but it's useless if the player doesn't have a godly item to duplicate. Which means getting a mirror is just half the equation. At least in Last Epoch, the duplication rune (forgot the name, havent touched LE inna while) has a fairer drop rate because they understand it's only useful once you craft a godly item. The absurd rarity also breaks the market with a mirror costing nearly 900 divines. Crazy. Don't get me wrong, I am not asking for it to be common, but for the speculated drop rate of 0.001% is quite too low.
For a brief moment at launch, D4 felt like a hard hitting, tough ARPG where it felt like I would have to play smart to gain an advantage in battle, but no I had just not gotten any gear for a bit as well as not having unlocked a way to make enemies vulnerable yet. Then I snoozed through until I dropped it. Pretty keen to play an ARPG that will keep me awake
2k hours, got a mirror from a blight chest like 4 leagues ago. I was on discord with friends while I was at work on a Sunday when it dropped. Reacted pretty much how you’d expect. I shared the riches with my friends.
@Ari-ek1dx This is not a new league, but something like a remake of settlers of kalgur with some Necropolis league mechanics. It runs parallel to the settlers of kalgur main league
People need to give fextralife a break. The embedding thing was a shitty thing to do that effects others streamers. But people acting like he committed a crime. If asmongold did that POE 2 review the community would praise him.
I got 2 mirrors in Affliction with a friend running the Abyss cheese strat. I've played like 13K hours of PoE and those two mirrors dropped within 1 week. One of them is still rotting in my stash on standard.
that's still above the average. I've played 20 000+ hours with 0 mirrors (started at the PoE 1 beta and played every league since). I think it's around mirror per 10 000 hours on average
D4 refugee here . Been playing PoE on ps5 for about a week now and damn I've been missing out absolutely loving it . Not really using a guide. Level 76 chieftain in act 10 now exciting times.
I'm a diablo 4 pc player that is planning on giving POE2 a shot. I tried POE1 but I hate click-to-move and the graphics were rough, so I stuck with diablo4. Excited to give POE2 a try.
Great accessibility option for poe2 is they will have WASD and click to move as well as controller support so you can play however. WASD will be a much welcomed change to arpgs especially one like poe2. I know some people are going to stick to click and move because it’s what they are familiar with for the past 20+ years but I look really forward to this.
One mirror and it dropped in Act 8 of all places in the fields. It made this ridiculous sound in my headset and I was like “WTF was that” couldn’t believe it
That's why they said "traditional gaming media". Most people don't even like them since they are complete clowns but they are still the traditional reviewers. Fextralife getting access makes no sense. Their main thing is making horrible Wikis and Guides, which clearly goes against what GGG stated but they still go ahead with it. They are put stuff into their Wiki from the access and plan on releasing Guides. So dissapointed in GGG for this one and i hope they won't let this one slide.
@@Ccubed92 and IGN and such arent bias to the companies that pay them? maybe look up some of there ratings compared to these streamers you speak of and see who you would agree with more, its very obvious
Its good to see DM again, his vids are always intresting for me, just when you play other games it can get a bit less, but I already saw some vids again and was great again. I watch most streamers tbh, the bigger ones. Did DM already said what class he thinking of playing? Cheers. Keep the spirit up as always
As someone who grew up on Diablo1+2, spent tons of time on D3, dipped my toes into PoE1 and have not touched D4 with a 10’ pole… I’m very excited to jump into PoE2
Could you create a video about the different classes, specifically focusing on how each of them is played? I’d like it to cover details about how their resources are managed, what combos are needed to maintain those resources, and so on. I feel that finding a class I enjoy for the endgame will be the most challenging part without playing each one through at least part of the endgame. However, I don’t think I’ll have enough time to try them all. Instead, I’d like to focus my time on one or two characters, but I want to ensure they feel enjoyable to play in the endgame. Managing resources shouldn’t feel like a chore. I also have preferences for certain types/mechanics of damaging combos and would like to know how they compare across classes. Things like how quickly each character can clear maps, move across maps, or take down bosses are also important. But above all, I’d like to know the overall feel of playing each class. The sooner this video can be done, the better. It doesn’t need to be perfect-just informative and helpful.
Jumped into PoE this past Friday. So far, so good. My caustic arrow ranger is working. Can’t wait to get PoE2 and play after I finish the campaign in PoE.
I've dropped 2 mirrors in about 5k hours played. The first one was in my very first league (Betrayal) on a vortex occultist, and the second was last league playing BAMA. Looking forward to the next 5k hours in PoE2.
As a Diablo 2 person human guy: I had a hard time getting into skills socketed into armors, amd felt like it wasn’t tactical enough, was simply screens exploding. Seems like po2 will be more like d2 which I’m jacked about 😊. Basically , didn’t really like POE1 but jacked to try poe2
I know a hell lot of people who play ARPGs for campaigns and then quit. And I’m talking about proper gamers. Endgame isn’t their thing (I know). People who play D4 are a combination of campaign players and game looking good. POE1 for them is clunky and confusing and dated looking. POE2 is solving that problem for such people. My best friend plays wow and lost ark and couldn’t get into POE because of the dated looks and clunkyness. My wife appreciates POE1 hates D4 and plays D3 when she wants to play arpgs. Both of them are eagerly awaiting POE2. My point is for people not into the genre, visuals play a monumental role. They can get behind complexity if it’s looking good. POE2 is it. D4 sold big because of marketing and the fact that at the time of its release the visuals played a huge part. I was among those people xD and I didn’t buy the expansion coz meh. So don’t downplay the visuals and put everything on complexity. Complexity is a layer that comes after many other things. If the most prominent things are good the complexity bit is something people get behind.
Actually, if they are using AWS, they can auto provision servers that is one of the main features. The problem is it takes time to spin up so even with that there will be server issues. I would be worried if the launch was ultra smooth to be honest, for a game with this much hype it would not be a good sign.
I'm so hyped to get a fresh start with POE, I've got 2000 hours in POE 1 and I feel like there's so much of the game I don't know how to access, but this, this is brand new. 🎉🎉
I have to agree with you. I have over 1000 hours in diablo 4 but when I switched to POE 1 I was lost, nothing was explained, so many different orbs. Im excited to try POE 2 and hopefully it's a bit more welcoming than POE 1
Splitting into a new game turned out to be the correct move. If they had made all these changes to POE 1 they would have made a lot of people mad, but with it being a separate game it's a lot easier to accept the changes making it more "Diablo-like".😆
If I remember right, server issues were the downfall of Wolcen on release. It had some issues gameplay-wise, but it was super hyped before release and people gave up with the terrible launch. It never really recovered from that, which is unfortunate since it was actually a pretty fun game once things settled out. With the hype for PoE2 and the already strong fanbase, I would be surprised if there weren't problems on the 6th. People just need to be patient and will hopefully cut GGG some slack, particularly where this is early access.
I couldn't get into PoE because the armor looks terrible and mis-matched without dropping $100 on microtransactions. Will PoE2 fix this problem with free transmogs like D4? If not I'll have to skip, again.
I remember some time ago, there was an interview I saw on reddit where Jonathan said something about having sufficient server space for 3 million people, and I immediately commented "Inb4 there's 4 million people in EA and it crashes the servers", lol. It's always more than they think.
I play PoE for a decade and only got 1 Mirror ever, as a TotA last round reward. Never been so glad to have made a dedicated character for farming a mechanic before
In Necropolis, I got my very first Mirror drop, and it was 100% ethical. I was SO excited. I have been playing since open beta. Guess I'll have to play ANOTHER 11 years for my next one...

What do those terminologies like solo selfbound mean? I think last epoch had something like that at the start when u had to make a new char, what does it mean? Does it mean items are for your characters only or accounts?
Hopefully they have Path of Building in the game, or that it's enough with the extra QoL they've added
That's what I'll do.

The removal of chroma sockets and links increases my interest in poe by approximately 10 bazillion percent.
then you were not interested in POE
I always felt like getting the right piece, but I did not have enough of the correct color sockets for my weapon.
Yeah, because it was so difficult to recolor a piece of gear, or four link a pair of gloves.
Almost impossible actually...
Maybe the poe franchise isn't for you.
i liked it, the struggles of links and colours - but am perfectly okay with it being gone.
Can you eloborate in a few words on that for non PoE players? Would really be appreciated.
I'm a little less interested in how many D4 players will be trying out PoE2, and more intrigued by how many/who will be playing PoE2 as their first ARPG, or first since D2/D3. I've seen a fair number of pretty big names react to the livestream, the game seems to be getting a fair amount of interest from players who aren't big ARPG Andy's, and that could be what cements PoE2 as the real top dog.
Would you mind telling me who are some of the people who reacted to it because they seem to be on Twitch and I can't find some vods on TH-cam. Very interested as well to the experience of complete first timers to PoE2
@@puffy1700 Probably the biggest name outside of the PoE community I've seen was Shroud, though he wouldn't be a completely new player
I think if poe1 won’t interest them Poe two barely would it has its own niche of players they are targeting. The content is hard specially when new. I can see a lot of people logging off and uninstalling early not expecting the difficulty spike to be like it will be. Anyone else remember their first campaign playthrough without a guide?
I am one of those people! Unless you count Lost Ark as an ARPG.
My friends had me try out diablo 4 but I quit the game after a couple hours. Some of it for personal reasons (didn't like the setting). But when I did try to find out about the endgame, most of what I saw were just dungeon runs. It looked like the endgame was litterally just gear check mobs and the pinnacle of endgame was basically making builds that made it so you didn't actually have to play the game.
Mix that with the amount of time it takes to get to the end game and it just looked like a pointless time sink.
So anyways I'm looking forward to POE2 the movement, boss mechanics, build potential, the increased stakes for both hardcore and soft core, the gfx, and each of the 6 classes (that we know about) all look exceptional. It looks like a game with limitless replayability
I've even got a friend who's never played an ARPG that's going to try it out with me (he's excited)
So yeah I am ready! And am drinking up every type of poe content I can find
This is me, I've only played D1-3 (and some Torchlight), and while I was interested in PoE I never got around to it, mainly because of how intimidating it looked. Can't wait to get to PoE2 and see how far I can get blind!

FOMO is a dangerous thing. Never forget how fun it is to just experience something without the feeling of being "owed" a certain outcome.
As soon as Poe 2 drops i wont watch any TH-camr. I want to figure all Things Out by myself want to enjoy all the way to Endgame by myself. I think that TH-camr mostly destroy this Part of such Games
100%
Issue is although this game will hold your hand poe1 didn't do that so people depended on youtubers or other content creators to help them reach endgame. Without them the game would have sucked.
Same. I've not watched any gameplay except the Act 1 boss (regret it, it was an accident) and what was in the endgame reveal video. I watch these videos like a podcast without looking at the video footage.
@@DuckGoat-mr9tudidn't watch any guides for poe1, game felt great
Yeah dude, I'm not even watching gem info or anything. I just want to fumble through, like the old beta.
**Logs in Day 1** - **Kills First Mob** - **Mirror of Kalandra Drops**
DM: "Welp, we won boys."
**Logs Out**
That's diablo-like.
Friend of mine dropped mirror in act1 and used it on rare item. Think I still have mirrored sword somewhere in stash.
FYI: GGG is on record saying that if you brick your Atlas, it'll reset. You will not find yourself in a situation where you can't progress in the endgame due to having died on multiple nodes of the map.
i'm one of those few people that play poe 1 on console and the real main issue with it is trading. There's a lot less players which makes the values of things crazy and a lot people there act like they are economist experts fixing prices lmfao. Very excited for a crossplay environment :D
Values of things go crazy because drops of those things are crazy low. Increase the players by 10x, it wont change the prices much. The trade wont change much, they like giving the players a free economy and price fixing part of it.
Goat… 10c items sometimes was 5d-10d if it was 30c. I get that but that made no sense. Granted I’m a console player you get use to the market everything’s kinda worth something so this will be fun
Oh I'm a PS5 player and had no idea my trades were only with other PS5?
Your playing a game made for pc on console, there will always be issues. It's a pc game lmao
@ yeah you either did Xbox to Xbox or ps4/ps5 with other Sony while pc was with pc
With poe2 it will be cross trade finally!
When folk talk about the pinnacle bosses being difficult and only having one attempt, my mind goes back to the reveal stream where they talked about how that has allowed them to make the bosses much more rewarding loot-wise. With no cheese (hopefully) and no corpse running to clear the content, the drops can be worthy of the difficulty of clearing the content.
I'd much rather a system like that than a 1% drop slot machine to hopefully get something vaguely worthwhile, and this is coming from someone trash at the game, I can't even beat the freaking t17 bosses, let alone the pinnacle bosses. That said, I never really put time into learning those bosses because I felt like I could make currency faster and easier farming something like Harvest and selling juice to other people.
Well, tbh, t17 bosses, even the easiest one on the factory, can still be harder then pinnacle bosses once you properly juice your map.
I constantly rolled 200%currency/scarabs, with 3 deli orbs, and i literally had to fight the boss 15-40 seconds(40 if more life+extra es) on average, with a 200mil dps warden LS (also depended on strat and what scarabs i used)
Whereas any pinnacle boss just dropped dead within like 6-8~ seconds.
So it isnt really your fault, or you being shit. More like even the base requirment to do this kind of content is a 200-300+ div build.
Haha. Where there's a hard boss, there is cheese. Speedrunning is like fast food in that regard.
1 portla bosses will be shit. it's like this in last epoch
there is a game like that, it's called darks souls and elden ring. I like my arpg to be a "slot machine" personally.
@@Fandelgore ah yes, the isometric good old loot driven arpg dark souls. If you like the slot like gameplay you should try coinmaster - basically the same game as PoE
The sad thing is that they could fix D4... they just seem to choose not to.
There isn't much that needs fixing, is there? It's a perfect game for the ones it was intended for. Sure it might "lack endgame" for the core POE player, but that's not who they made the game for. They made it for the working dad with a couple children, that have a few hours every week to play the game. And for those, the game is close to perfect. You have just enough complexity for them to wrap their head around it with the time they have to invest into it. And they can play a whole season and still not reach pit 150.
It probably wasn't made for you, if you think it needs fixing. Play something else, like POE.
@@ShaddyzZz I *am* the working dad. Four-year-old twins; I play maybe 2hrs a night at the most. The last D4 campaign was, as DM said, dog$hit, and the endgame is just flat out boring. I'm no PoE fanboy either - I've walked away from every character I've had at lvl 95, but the story line was much more captivating and the fact that we got all the added content in Settlers for free compared to the money grab that was Vessel (and the 30 bazillion DPS spiritborn) just did it in for me.If anything, PoE2 seems much more amenable to casual games based on what I've seen.
The game is pretty good, they just forgot to add Diablo to it. Like, how can you fking release a Diablo game without the main bad guy being Diablo? ITS IN THE FKING NAME. How did they all not get fired for that alone. The Diablo 3 campaign was so much better.
I'm not sure I actually agree with this. People are still conflating the blizzard of old with new blizzard, where almost none of the original talent is still working there. They don't have a cultured and developed development team so I think they simply lack the expertise to make a truly strong product. It's why they keep chasing old ideas and even then fail to understand why the old ideas were good in the first place.
BTW if you're looking for other arpg's in the meantime, titan quest and grim dawn are good choices. They're slower and more campaign-focused. Sacred 2 is also pretty good although it's a bit weird and janky
@@ShaddyzZzgame is shit. Working or not.

For real! Shoutout to the editor for the sick and wholesome montage!! ♥

12:33 You will be one of first ginger Alaskan guy with long hair and a razer chair who's channel name starts with Darth and ends with TV who defeats the pinnacle boss. Amazing achievement
I'm excited for the game, don't get me wrong. Tough I have to sympathize with Grim Dawn ( where I have close to 600hres) which is my favorite ARPG of all time. It is so overshadowed by games of this size which I find sad at times. I think it's a more niche ARPG but still it holds a special place in my heart. That being said, so pumped for the 6th ! This studio is crazy !

What’s a mirror
@@Hollywooddecember it is essentially the rarest current items. many ppl have played 10+ years and never dropped one. It can be used on an item to duplicate it. so it is used to duplicate the craziest crafted rares in the entire game.

I dont trust anyone who says they dont like shotguns in shooters.
Something is very wrong with that.
Shotguns tend to be absolutely useless due to bs spread and damage faloff.
Nothing wrong with it at all. It's like a sniper rifle but with less range and need to aim. People just don't like getting one shot.
@@SuperDdall exactly. especially when to combat that we would have to use a shotgun ourselves or be that much better where movement aides in you missing and us hitting. smg vs shotty we lose most the time. snipers at least take some precision, and their kind of slow to raise, definitely don't want to hip fire. shotguns are hip fire one shot machines. love shotties for real home defense, video games, im good, too strong.
Shotguns need somewhat realistic modelling like in Tarkov not the whole 'between here and here is 1 shot, from here the buck evaporates into the ether'. I can understand why people don't like that implementation.
I'm very sure the right context of that quote is multiplayer games
What's so refreshing it to listen to a Dev who actually understands his own game, who can comment in detail to some actually quite in depth question with confidence but also with some honesty (re potential updates/fixes once the game goes live in early access) rather than the BS we've become used to from a certain other developer over the past 18 months.

i agree blind play through is so much better, personally wish they didn't even show any numbers on nodes/boss fights just solely for the excitement building and just discovery feeling we all used to experience playing old games.
I understand times have changed, so as long as they don't go the route of D4 where every single streamer and content creator had the entire game 1 week before everyone else and they all worked out pre-set builds and everything so no one had anything to discover - then I'll be happy.
5 days to go almost there! 🎉
I have 150 h in s6 of D4. I will be playing POE2for whole early access , because POE2 is huge and it has many classes with full endgame,and large build variety.

My first mirror drop was an insane time
I was leveling a HCSSF after losing my last character, and I found it in the Burning Fields.
Totally blew my mind and is the pinnacle of my endeavors. I will never move it from where it is in my stash, and if I could put it in a display case in my HO I would
As rare as they are they should offer a one time purchase for a IRL version.
I don't mind content creators getting early access as long as they respect the NDA and only release information once authorized.
Some people DO enjoy having a lot of information on day 1. Let them have their fun.
The rest of us can just ignore it completely and play blind the first time.
Hey DM thanks for all your videos and funny jokes. Quick question.. I like that they are only releasing half the acts and would like to playthrough all 6 characters to get a feel for each, but I am limited on hours, especially until end of december where I am doing a lot of overtime... Is getting to end of act 1, worthy of seeing how each character feels, or should I strive to get to the end of act 3 to see which ones I want to continue with to end game? Thank you in advance for your response!
Fextra is a rat at heart. Doubtful this was a misunderstanding.
Definetly wasn’t, same person that cried about not getting a review copy of a game then trying to tank the reviews of said game because they weren’t catered too.
While GGG themselves said it was their mistake... Bro, chill because you seem to be the rat here.
What'd he do?
Why is Fextra a rat company?
They hire real gamers (goid or bad at the respective games, they are real gamers).
They take nothing away from gamers and do exactly what independent streamers or gaming magazine do.
They operate on coverage and review like everyone else.
Cas is a gamer to the core. I'd say he is almost the face of the company at this point.
Curious to know how the company is bad for gaming?
The misunderstanding was giving him access lol
I will play this game like internet doesn't exist. Will figure shit by myself and will find other people/ friends who do the same thing and talk about the game without the people obsessing over min/max or finishing the game in a few hours. I really want to make it a great experience and figuring things out the old way.
Let's see if people can actually log into the game without a 40k+ player wait queue on launch day
Almost guarantee a launch queue, its the smart way to trickle people in to a system that expands server use as needed. (Within their total capacity.)
If there is. it only means that they were an enormous hit and they made money which they can invest in giving us a better and better game down the line. and they deserve it.
This would be normal
Attempts to overhype the game are going very successfull imo, but really - majority of people need to login only once for 5 minutes just to leave it till builds/guides/paythroughts will be ready.
@@NirNiobis so a few things. there are already guides popping out and there will be a ton from day 1........... and of course you are talking about the new players. veteran PoE players dont need guides to get started.
Also not sure i understand your mention of overhyping the game. at the very least. GGG has proven themselves as being one of the very rare Dev Teams that cares about their playerbase. That is why there is this much hype. ppl trust them. It is like Larian.
Im so glad i grew up in an era where we played zelda, solo, and came together after weekends and would share info we all found while playing. By far the best experience and all young gamers are missing out. So many watch others experience the game instead of themselves.

This is the comment I’m looking for. I’m a console only player have a PS5. Very casual gamer and Diablo four was my first ARPG and I do enjoy it. But looking for something else to play when I get bored of the season. Which this season happened very quickly my spirit born, could do everything and wasn’t interested in doing another class. Hoping this takes over and I don’t feel too overwhelmed.
As someone who has played D3, D4 and a little bit of Last Epoch. D4 was a let down; I didn’t even bother with vessel of hatred. LE was good just didn’t scratch the itch I was looking for. I’ve never played the og Path of Exile but I’m stoked for PoE2.
The contents hard… og bosses was hard if you want look up Sirus fight on release 😅 was insane
I will never buy Vessel because that should have come with the game on release. All it did was piss me off even more. They owe their player base the next 3-5 expansions for free. We shouldn't have to pay jack for their lack of content on release. How do you release a game named Diablo without Diablo? HOW DO YOU RELEASE A GAME NAMED DIABLO WITHOUT DIABLO. ffs morons. all of them.

Started playing in beast league. On one of my first tier 2 maps. From a chest that i just opened because as a noob i opened chests. A mirror dropped. On a character called SlowIdiot. I even made a post asking advice how to use it. Sold it for 200 something exalts. Didn't even realise it was important or how actually rare it was. Never owned a mirror ever since.
Im kinda surprised GGG gave Fextralife a copy at all, like the guy has no following at all, only a wiki that he embeds to inflate his viewcount, there's a reason he hasn't streamed on Twitch since the embed change took place.
the wiki he maintains is quite important for several games, but he isn't actually needed for that as GGG can make a PoE2 wiki themselves, the same way PoE1 has an official wiki
the reality of it is that nobody should be getting 40 hours to figure out a game that is so currency and market dependant

One mirror, probably 6k hours total game play--felt so good I was on my second to last portal, I died and it dropped at the same time. Lets just say that was the most nerve racking last portal EVER, retrieving it
+2500 hrs in POE1 across 10 years, no mirror, not even a mirror fragment. I understand having rare drops in a game, but the mirror drop rate is ridiculous.
Well, it should be ... its the rarest item in the game. I have 2.4k hours on Steam POE and then probably the same amount on the stand alone client and Ive never found a mirror (or shard) either
Never dove into PoE1, but am excited to be a true noob in PoE2 as my "first introduction". **BUT** having played Diablo2 for 2decades+++ never finding that "holy grail" unless you go trading...
I feel that pain, entirely.
In My second league (affliction) i drop one while doing essense on t1 glacier lmao. It is that rare? 😭
@@V3nomEX_DE - Yeah it's the rarest item in the game, but still doesn't justify such a low drop rate. I get that the item is super OP but it's useless if the player doesn't have a godly item to duplicate. Which means getting a mirror is just half the equation. At least in Last Epoch, the duplication rune (forgot the name, havent touched LE inna while) has a fairer drop rate because they understand it's only useful once you craft a godly item. The absurd rarity also breaks the market with a mirror costing nearly 900 divines. Crazy. Don't get me wrong, I am not asking for it to be common, but for the speculated drop rate of 0.001% is quite too low.
i get my first mirror drop after 8k hours
For a brief moment at launch, D4 felt like a hard hitting, tough ARPG where it felt like I would have to play smart to gain an advantage in battle, but no I had just not gotten any gear for a bit as well as not having unlocked a way to make enemies vulnerable yet. Then I snoozed through until I dropped it.
Pretty keen to play an ARPG that will keep me awake
5 days from PoE2, 2-3 days from UFO war.
2k hours, got a mirror from a blight chest like 4 leagues ago. I was on discord with friends while I was at work on a Sunday when it dropped. Reacted pretty much how you’d expect. I shared the riches with my friends.
Dropped my first mirror in necro settlers, 4k hours
gratz! 8k and still waiting ;)
Whats necro settlers? New league or the same one as settlers of kalgur?
My first mirror (and last) drop was in the Sentinels league, due to the league's mechanics.
@Ari-ek1dx This is not a new league, but something like a remake of settlers of kalgur with some Necropolis league mechanics. It runs parallel to the settlers of kalgur main league
People need to give fextralife a break. The embedding thing was a shitty thing to do that effects others streamers. But people acting like he committed a crime. If asmongold did that POE 2 review the community would praise him.

I got 2 mirrors in Affliction with a friend running the Abyss cheese strat. I've played like 13K hours of PoE and those two mirrors dropped within 1 week. One of them is still rotting in my stash on standard.
3335.8 hours recorded on steam (+ countless hours before i got it on steam) and I have only had a single mirror drop.
that's still above the average. I've played 20 000+ hours with 0 mirrors (started at the PoE 1 beta and played every league since). I think it's around mirror per 10 000 hours on average
5k hours since beta. 0 mirrors
Though i found a triple watchers eye once nearly worth a mirror
11k+ hours, never got a drop 😂

Great accessibility option for poe2 is they will have WASD and click to move as well as controller support so you can play however.

Could you create a video about the different classes, specifically focusing on how each of them is played? I’d like it to cover details about how their resources are managed, what combos are needed to maintain those resources, and so on. I feel that finding a class I enjoy for the endgame will be the most challenging part without playing each one through at least part of the endgame. However, I don’t think I’ll have enough time to try them all.
Instead, I’d like to focus my time on one or two characters, but I want to ensure they feel enjoyable to play in the endgame. Managing resources shouldn’t feel like a chore. I also have preferences for certain types/mechanics of damaging combos and would like to know how they compare across classes. Things like how quickly each character can clear maps, move across maps, or take down bosses are also important. But above all, I’d like to know the overall feel of playing each class.
The sooner this video can be done, the better. It doesn’t need to be perfect-just informative and helpful.
Will this be on xbox December 6 also?
Edit. Nevermind I googled it. 🎉🎉🎉
What's the answer?!?!
EDIT: nvm, I've also googled it
Jumped into PoE this past Friday. So far, so good. My caustic arrow ranger is working.
Can’t wait to get PoE2 and play after I finish the campaign in PoE.
Fextralife having a 40 hour head start isn't enough to counter my god like abilities of poopsocking.
I've dropped 2 mirrors in about 5k hours played. The first one was in my very first league (Betrayal) on a vortex occultist, and the second was last league playing BAMA. Looking forward to the next 5k hours in PoE2.
As a Diablo 2 person human guy: I had a hard time getting into skills socketed into armors, amd felt like it wasn’t tactical enough, was simply screens exploding. Seems like po2 will be more like d2 which I’m jacked about 😊. Basically , didn’t really like POE1 but jacked to try poe2
I know a hell lot of people who play ARPGs for campaigns and then quit. And I’m talking about proper gamers. Endgame isn’t their thing (I know). People who play D4 are a combination of campaign players and game looking good. POE1 for them is clunky and confusing and dated looking. POE2 is solving that problem for such people. My best friend plays wow and lost ark and couldn’t get into POE because of the dated looks and clunkyness. My wife appreciates POE1 hates D4 and plays D3 when she wants to play arpgs. Both of them are eagerly awaiting POE2. My point is for people not into the genre, visuals play a monumental role. They can get behind complexity if it’s looking good. POE2 is it. D4 sold big because of marketing and the fact that at the time of its release the visuals played a huge part. I was among those people xD and I didn’t buy the expansion coz meh. So don’t downplay the visuals and put everything on complexity. Complexity is a layer that comes after many other things. If the most prominent things are good the complexity bit is something people get behind.
Family of three, one new baby and work 60-65 hrs a week. Dont care, still grinding hard on poe2, all in on warrior. Looks too good
Mirror dropped for me about 2 years ago, after 9 years of playing.
Actually, if they are using AWS, they can auto provision servers that is one of the main features. The problem is it takes time to spin up so even with that there will be server issues. I would be worried if the launch was ultra smooth to be honest, for a game with this much hype it would not be a good sign.
I love how Jonathon literally said to effectively get gud. most Dark Souls answer ever given.
Your sarcasm is on point. Your sarcasm is so good, it could teach a masterclass-and I’d totally sign up.
I'm so hyped to get a fresh start with POE, I've got 2000 hours in POE 1 and I feel like there's so much of the game I don't know how to access, but this, this is brand new. 🎉🎉
I have to agree with you. I have over 1000 hours in diablo 4 but when I switched to POE 1 I was lost, nothing was explained, so many different orbs. Im excited to try POE 2 and hopefully it's a bit more welcoming than POE 1
Splitting into a new game turned out to be the correct move. If they had made all these changes to POE 1 they would have made a lot of people mad, but with it being a separate game it's a lot easier to accept the changes making it more "Diablo-like".😆
If I remember right, server issues were the downfall of Wolcen on release. It had some issues gameplay-wise, but it was super hyped before release and people gave up with the terrible launch. It never really recovered from that, which is unfortunate since it was actually a pretty fun game once things settled out. With the hype for PoE2 and the already strong fanbase, I would be surprised if there weren't problems on the 6th. People just need to be patient and will hopefully cut GGG some slack, particularly where this is early access.
I've been a Diablo boy since 1997, I will main PoE2 and I'm pretty sure I will be reminded of how good a game truly can be...
I couldn't get into PoE because the armor looks terrible and mis-matched without dropping $100 on microtransactions.
Will PoE2 fix this problem with free transmogs like D4? If not I'll have to skip, again.
I remember some time ago, there was an interview I saw on reddit where Jonathan said something about having sufficient server space for 3 million people, and I immediately commented "Inb4 there's 4 million people in EA and it crashes the servers", lol. It's always more than they think.
I play PoE for a decade and only got 1 Mirror ever, as a TotA last round reward. Never been so glad to have made a dedicated character for farming a mechanic before
In Necropolis, I got my very first Mirror drop, and it was 100% ethical. I was SO excited. I have been playing since open beta. Guess I'll have to play ANOTHER 11 years for my next one...
He literally repeated that melee was easier over and over, so it's mainly for the players that need training wheels ;)
Guess that's fair since its the other way around in POE1
can't believe anyone would actually collaborate with fextralife in anyway to start with
