Spent 30 mins in my 3rd ascendancy trial. Made it to the 3rd floor and 2 rooms away from the boss and I step on a DOT trap that took my health from completely full to 100 in .5 seconds. Thank God for the change
first time i did it, destroyed by traps every time on the third set always one or two rooms before the boss. third time, i avoided gauntlets like the plague and got it.
i got to the last boss with 3k honor before the patch. Last node was ofc -40% damage and got rng screwed. 40% more time consuming in that boss room is impossible. imo, honor is not fixed, just made monk more op, warrior got a chance and mages still struggle. Armor and energy shield is still obsolete and useless. Any evade character got a massive advantage. If you have to pick a minor boon that has +50% monster life / -40% damage or no armor, you're screwed and most likely has to start over. The trail/chaos bosses are also the worst in the game. Two of them are immune to damage half of the time and the last trail boss jumps on you while immune 3 times in a row. He does this every 10sec. Mega frustrating and just bad design overall. Anti fun at every step. Trails need to be reworked from scratch. It's the worst part of the game without doubt.
That's what I thought it would be! I figured surely higher-level belts would just have more charm slots as a default feature. Seems very strange that they don't.
I def thought high base belts would have 2 slots at least, ive only found 2 belts with +charm slot mod. 1 belt was so bad and the other was barely usable lol
I want to point out that having Honour resistance relics makes trial of sekhema way more easier, stacks up to 75%. Works like elemental resistances towards character.
@@lodsupor the whining top vet Poe 1 players. I’m a casual who likes this style of gameplay. Casual doesn’t mean “bad at games” it just means you don’t have as much time to play due to responsibilities.
The only thing I can't give them a pass on, especially because it's EA, is the respec costs. This was a huge oversight. At least offer currency that gives a set number of free respects.
Costs were already so low, I’m slightly disappointed in them that they caved so hard. The intention of a Poe game isn’t to be full respeccing. You should be switching out a cluster here and there, and when playing like that, the costs were very affordable. Compared to using orbs of regret.
I got baited by this video title, run one t11, died at 2nd last rare from on death effect, closed the game. Melee is not playable with on death effects.
I think the maps being that big would be fine if the exploration was more rewarded, more rooms found and chests to find and loot etc, but I back track to finish out de fogging the map only to find out it was an empty space with nothing no enemies or loot lol
And the extreme opposite of this is true too 😂. You've explored everything but 1 pixel at the far end of the map. It just so happens that that pixel is where the quest mcguffin is 😂😂.
Yeah, and that was exactly the idea they had, I remember they saying that "a lot of map corners would have treasures, chests, rooms, etc, so that exploring is rewarded" So far, its not like that at all, but hopefully they change it
Honor damage change for melee is nice but melee itself needs changes. If GGG wants melee being viable or for warriors to be able to use normal attacks then it shouldn't lock you in place and the attacks should at least displace enemies so that you aren't as helpless as a ranged class. Backing up and swinging should be viable to keep half of the surrounding enemies at bay. Sure anything feels better when you can actually make a build but playing through that campaign as warrior was a genuinely miserable boring experience. I don't care that perfect strike does a lot of damage when you can't even walk slowly while charging it.
The respec cost adjustment still isn't enough. There's absolutly no reason, to have respec cost as much as it does. It doesn't make the game more fun, it just ensures people will use "cookie cutter" builds and not experiment. When you punish players, Players will do whatever it takes to not get punished. Especially since we're supposed to be using our gold buying items from the Vendors, since the expectation is to buy/craft the majority of our gear for the game.
Honor is “fixed” but as a 78 Monk I still get rolled in the final trial (sekhemas) for the 3rd ascendancy. Idk why they are gatekeeping basic character progression with this system. Max level is 100, so it should be doable at around 75 no? Funny thing about it is….the ascendancy points for my build aren’t even as impactful as you’d think they should be.
@ tempest flurry, 9000 dps….took defensive ascendancy nodes on invoker first. Gear has all been traded for so it’s pretty good. Resistances are all hanging around 30-40% and Im clearing T-9 maps.
I am new to poe. I went into this game blind. Chose mercenary because he said give me any weapon. I thought I would be some kind of jack of all trades with weapons. But then it gave me a crossbow gun thing. I gave it a go and it felt like currently most builds have to use grenades to be good. I didn't like the play style so I redid all my talents and went mace and shield. I am having a lot of fun trying to figure out a build and right now I am like max evasion and single handed dps. Super fun. No idea if I will be able to keep it up in act 3, but I laugh when I am in town and I am the only dork running around with a shield and a mace on a mercenary. xD
You were actually right, Gemling Legionaire is one of, if not the best jack of all trades ascendancy in the game. also if you're looking for a crossbow build that doesn't use grenades check out the voltaic strike/ explosive shot and shockburst rounds builds.
I'm loving the game, but definitely those adjustments are needed. All in for more difficult content, but unavoidable one shots and poorly telegraphed skills should be a no-no, glad to see they are addressing so fast.
They need our Sony needs to address crashing on a PS5, myself and my friends are experiencing this quite often. It had went away nearly, but seems like it's gotten worse since the last patch. Great video and breakdown. I agree with making the Charms a quest and removing the affix.
I play on PC and get random crashes. It will crash the game completely then when I restart I'm in the exact same spot I left off but the map is now unexplored and enemies respawn
Never died to the crystals. The plants are what kill me because in melee range the plant spawns right on top of you and just instantly explodes killing you. Sometimes it's all 3 plants so it is absolutely untankable no matter your resist. It was the stupidest thing and hopefully they nerf the damage of it and make it so it can't spawn right on top of you.
how have you never died to the crystals? its the same damage as the plant orbs and even less obvious. if youre in melee range you are walking on a timebomb if you engage. you are lying.
The honor changes are nice for melee character, but I'm not sure if it's enough. The way I'd attempt to mitigate honor loss for close combat oriented classes would be by introducing some kind of honor recoup system. For example: You get hit by a monster and it deals some honor damage to you, and puts a "honor recoup" buff on you. If you then kill that monster with an attack (not including spells) within the duration of that buff you get 50% of the lost honor back.
Knowing GGG half of these things aren't even made yet, they are allways pumping things as fast as they can but since most are numerical changes I would expect a couple days to do all this they do need to be carefully to not swing too hard at the same time
When they added the extra acts to poe 1 they significantly shortened the existing maps of the campaign I almost guarantee this will happen with this gane as well, the naps are probably so big to pad out progression to end game
I feel like maybe they just need to change what freeze does to higher-tier enemies. If they're concerned about bosses spending too much time standing around frozen maybe they should just make it so freeze is just a heavier slow than chill on bosses or something. Otherwise you just shut down the entire concept of "cast on freeze" in those circumstances just to avoid bosses being CC'd too much.
anyone get the teleport silk shroud unique from the merchant in trials yet? changes dodge to a teleport...there is also an item call quill rain or something that makes arrows automatic fire
I killed a mini boss and never got the loot because i died by explosion after death. This sucks! That loot should show in your stash. I had an orange item drop and i never got it. So pissed 😡
On two bosses in a row I lost loot. One I killed the boss as it killed me so we both died. I lost that loot. Then the next boss I killed with a friend and died near end of fight and he finished it but then a mass of adds killed him after (that Rath fight in act 2 on the cliff) so he couldn't revive me. Lost that loot as well. #feelsbad!
Cruel was a joke. It was called cruel and you just curb stomp everything. Would be nice if it was the intermediate between normal and maps so maps wouldn't feel so jarring. It would need better loot to counter act that. Jewelry should drop more often. Spam gambling rings doesn't feel like the ideal way to get resist rings.
All I want is a currency pouch a little inventory slot next to our flask for like 4 currencies... if they want us crafting and interacting with items on the fly your asking me to carry multiple additional currencies to do so. Give me a coin purse with 4 slots for currency next the the flask.
I can't wait for these changes to happen, I read these changes last night, and then went to play a little, was going great, then I was fighting a rare in a corridor, I couldn't even see the floor because a wall was blocking it, didn't realize until after I killed the rare that it was volatile crystals, and had littered the entire corridor floor with those things, and ofc I went from full health/shields to dead to a on death mechanic I couldn't even see until it literally blew up the entire walkable screen.
To all of the various cold conversion builds that people struggled through to find a way to keep using the gutted trigger mechanic as a base for a build, ending back to back freeze, electrocute, etc. is really confirming that no, triggers are considered a "nice to have" and anchoring a build on them is doomed. Glad I rerolled my invoker already but RIP my buds.
New to PoE here, but im curious are the nerfs people are mad about the videos I see all over of people one shotting everything and taking on hordes of enemies within seconds?
I do love this game. I don't think they really needed to change much, it is cool that they are listening to all the feedback and are trying to find a middle ground to help people that are having troubles. After i finish the third act, i will be finally playing through the first game, which i have never done before. can't wait.
@@charlesxchaves You already lose the attempt if you die. Which is more than enough of a build check. If this was (still) *just* a league mechanic then it would be annoying, but could just be skipped. However, these are things that *every build* is supposed to be able to accomplish, and the current set up heavily punishes armor/melee builds and even with the recent changes I don't think it will ever feel "good" to do.
I believe it would be better to keep charms tied to belts rather than having them automatically added through a quest. The goal should be to balance the more powerful unique belts, which lack charm slots, with those that do have them, allowing for greater player choice and more meaningful decisions. By requiring players to choose between equipping a powerful unique charm or a powerful unique belt, the game promotes strategic decision-making and enhances player agency.
I agree with your base point but I would also want my headhunter to have 3 charm slots. Doesn't make sense for build defining chase items to not be incredibly powerful. Your suggestion feels like arbitrarily limiting player power. If that item fundamentally breaks the game (news flash headhunter kinda does that) then what does taking the 2 charm slots away do other than making a broken item... still broken but feel less good to use? I know headhunter currently has 1 charm slot but I honestly believe it should have 3 baseline, and high tier belts should have it as an implicit, or as a d2like feature where better belts just have more slots.
@@ryancorrell5291 Who says there is not game breaking Charms out, unique ones perhaps, or will be. Then you have more player agency by choosing whether to go for more charms or unique belts. I understand your point, you want chase items to feel powerful. I am just adding a counter point is all. I am curious to see how they handle it.
they need to remove the honor system entirely. getting hit is literally apart of the game and NOT getting hit only caters to a small sub section of players. sanctum literally was a 50/50 split on the community and dont even get me started about the boss fights.
But that’s the point of the sanctum mechanic it’s based on. The impact can be mitigated by farming and equipping the relics with honor pool and resist.
Farthest I've gotten is act 1 second difficulty, so I probably didn't notice a few of these issues. Overall stoked on the changes. I'll actually do some trials, really wasn't a fan of the honor system on my warrior. Flask leach was insane on bosses, glsd they nerfed thst.
Siphoning flask charges, siphoning mana, both are stupid. Doesn’t matter if you have to go melee range to elites with siphon mana… Also, life regen + energy shield or magma shield is terrible for low level play lol
They need to fix ranger toxic growth and escape shot. How am I taking ground damage when I'm jumping in the air?! Those skills are so slow, at least treat it as a roll or blink or add a blinding cloud.
Beat 3rd trial right before nerf, on warrior. Noice. Got a super luckey run. Almost lost it to third boss. Hard to hit with hammer. But fortunately landed 1 hit and it one shotted him
Hopefully GGG can retain that enjoyable early difficulty, and continue it into end-game. For more methodical combat, instead of zooming like most other ARPGs.
I’m probably not going to play again until the patches drop. I’m currently stuck on a3. I’m a noob and don’t really understand how to make a good skills tree. Will attempt a respec when it is cheaper
Plz PLZ try using snipe for a while ( on the ranger), and you'll see that it's bugged and often fires prematurely... It's very frustrating. I've posted a bug report, but if you mention it an a subsequent video, I'm sure they'll address it sooner! 🙏🙏🙏 I've built a snipe focused ranger, she does really well, but when I've got swarms running at me and my snipe ability dry fires 4 times in a row, it's not so fun...
PoE 2 tried to do the Grim Dawn thing except they forgot to put chests that drop loot that people actually give a damn about. Smh fam. Surely someone at GGG has played Grim Dawn before. We've been running around huge F U maze maps with no movement skills searching for chests for years now over on Grim Dawn, so that isn't the problem, the problem is no reason to do explore the damn map in PoE 2.
@@tomwalker8944 Grim Dawn and Titan Quest are so much more interesting, and have difficulty without making bullet sponges and roll sims. Can't wait until GD's next expansion and TQ2.
Well, I left after 29 hours and I'll never touch that garbage game again. I think you're in an echo chamber and all your friends will slowly fizzle out and you'll all pretend like the game didn't suck.
I agree the charm slots should be either a boss drop like the other permanent upgrades throughout the campaign or it could be an implicit that can roll on a belt but it doesn't take up 1 from the 6 affix slots.
PoE2 is so sluggish, as a roll sim and bullet sponge enemies. It's not even close to D2 and how fun it is to play through the same campaign I've played repeatedly.
i'm enjoying the game play but my pc and eyes aren't. You've got the OG graphics toggle on d2r right? When i get into a fight with 3+ enemies and cast 3+ skills the game drops graphics like i toggled them in d2r. it doesn't break the game or cause massive lag which makes me super stoked i can play the game! Crazy seeing how the game itself dumbs down the graphics seemlessly but it does make it hard to play a game where you need to dodge mechanics that become super blended into the background. Glad i waited a week + before grinding gear since these guys are pumping out updates this fast.
Thanks for being around for trying this game llama.. I really hope they speed down this game.. It feels like I'm playing POE1, and I don't like that at all.
CoF sorc was admittedly broken but the nerf was too hard. Half the nerf wouldve been enough. Doesnt bother me, tons of other builds that melt and far surpassed my CoF sorc on them already. Glad they recognize the need for cheaper respec points. Inb4 "what do you mean you dont have 1 million gold at lvl 60 due to selling every drop for gold".
Be honest! It's a lot of big NERFS - freeze and shock are getting hammered again! What is the point of playing an ICE-MAGE if you can't chain-freeze stuff? :(
Watching all these well thought out suggestions on how to balance maps while I'm uninstalling because I can't clear the act 1 boss lol. This game ain't for me I guess

New to PoE here, but im curious are the nerfs people are mad about the videos I see all over of people one shotting everything and taking on hordes of enemies within seconds?
watch poe1 gameplay and you'll understand this community
Yeep... that's right.
Ah okay, so people are overreacting to genuinely needed nerfs. Got it.
@@NuckChorris509yea from what I've seen the only legitimate complaint about the nerfs is the respec cost after your build is nerfed
@@NuckChorris509 yup, they're overreacting, but the part about the respecs was the major problem with that, imo
would be cool if they did something about the health regen/ mana drain combo monsters in early game.
those are pretty vicious
Some map sizes need a reduction of 50%, regardless of checkpoint warping. Especially in act 3
I do love this game. I don't think they really needed to change much, it is cool that they are listening to all the feedback and are trying to find a middle ground to help people that are having troubles. After i finish the third act, i will be finally playing through the first game, which i have never done before. can't wait.
i hope they add loot filter for console
The honor trials need to go.
the whole game needs to go.
@@MadmanThreeTwoTwo good news, you don't have to play it. Any more braindead takes?
@@arschmitohren90 u already brainded by playing slop game like PoE 2
@MadmanThreeTwoTwo again, don't play it. Did your mum drink during pregnancy or how'd you turn out so brainrot? lol
Still feel like they should either remove Honor or should make it so that it is tied to *only* rewards.
It is called a trial for a reason. Otherwise it would be a walk in the park, and monotone like the first game
@@charlesxchaves You already lose the attempt if you die. Which is more than enough of a build check. If this was (still) *just* a league mechanic then it would be annoying, but could just be skipped. However, these are things that *every build* is supposed to be able to accomplish, and the current set up heavily punishes armor/melee builds and even with the recent changes I don't think it will ever feel "good" to do.
hee man im watching since the original d2 days and watched all the way through d2r. that said i love the poe 2 content. keep it up
I believe it would be better to keep charms tied to belts rather than having them automatically added through a quest. The goal should be to balance the more powerful unique belts, which lack charm slots, with those that do have them, allowing for greater player choice and more meaningful decisions. By requiring players to choose between equipping a powerful unique charm or a powerful unique belt, the game promotes strategic decision-making and enhances player agency.
I agree with your base point but I would also want my headhunter to have 3 charm slots. Doesn't make sense for build defining chase items to not be incredibly powerful. Your suggestion feels like arbitrarily limiting player power. If that item fundamentally breaks the game (news flash headhunter kinda does that) then what does taking the 2 charm slots away do other than making a broken item... still broken but feel less good to use? I know headhunter currently has 1 charm slot but I honestly believe it should have 3 baseline, and high tier belts should have it as an implicit, or as a d2like feature where better belts just have more slots.
@@ryancorrell5291 Who says there is not game breaking Charms out, unique ones perhaps, or will be. Then you have more player agency by choosing whether to go for more charms or unique belts. I understand your point, you want chase items to feel powerful. I am just adding a counter point is all. I am curious to see how they handle it.
they need to remove the honor system entirely. getting hit is literally apart of the game and NOT getting hit only caters to a small sub section of players. sanctum literally was a 50/50 split on the community and dont even get me started about the boss fights.
But that’s the point of the sanctum mechanic it’s based on. The impact can be mitigated by farming and equipping the relics with honor pool and resist.
If they did, it would be a cake walk otherwise
Farthest I've gotten is act 1 second difficulty, so I probably didn't notice a few of these issues.
Overall stoked on the changes. I'll actually do some trials, really wasn't a fan of the honor system on my warrior. Flask leach was insane on bosses, glsd they nerfed thst.
Why did they not look at mana burn? That mod is crazy op.
Siphoning flask charges, siphoning mana, both are stupid. Doesn’t matter if you have to go melee range to elites with siphon mana…
Also, life regen + energy shield or magma shield is terrible for low level play lol
Because you can work around it by just being close to the monster, only the donut itself drains mana.
The honour change was nice felt like it drained way to fast
They need to fix ranger toxic growth and escape shot. How am I taking ground damage when I'm jumping in the air?! Those skills are so slow, at least treat it as a roll or blink or add a blinding cloud.
Volatile plants and volatile crystals are not the same thing I believe ..
The maps seem to be fine for group play. Since my build does better solo while my friends have synergy.
Beat 3rd trial right before nerf, on warrior. Noice. Got a super luckey run. Almost lost it to third boss. Hard to hit with hammer. But fortunately landed 1 hit and it one shotted him
Hopefully GGG can retain that enjoyable early difficulty, and continue it into end-game. For more methodical combat, instead of zooming like most other ARPGs.
The first act is so unbearable, I can't even get myself to play any further right now.
Not because it's hard. Because it's such a slog.
I don't want map size reduced.
I’m probably not going to play again until the patches drop. I’m currently stuck on a3. I’m a noob and don’t really understand how to make a good skills tree. Will attempt a respec when it is cheaper
I finally did my 3rd ascendancy even over leveled I died of cringe.
So I was super mad guy at this game but it seems they're listening so it's definitely keeping me interested. Good job GGG!
Plz PLZ try using snipe for a while ( on the ranger), and you'll see that it's bugged and often fires prematurely... It's very frustrating. I've posted a bug report, but if you mention it an a subsequent video, I'm sure they'll address it sooner! 🙏🙏🙏 I've built a snipe focused ranger, she does really well, but when I've got swarms running at me and my snipe ability dry fires 4 times in a row, it's not so fun...
There are still a LOT of things they havent fixed. Specially when it comes to individual skills and ascendancies
We're less than two weeks into EA, slow your roll Dearest.
PoE 2 tried to do the Grim Dawn thing except they forgot to put chests that drop loot that people actually give a damn about. Smh fam. Surely someone at GGG has played Grim Dawn before. We've been running around huge F U maze maps with no movement skills searching for chests for years now over on Grim Dawn, so that isn't the problem, the problem is no reason to do explore the damn map in PoE 2.
I had so much more fun playing Grim Dawn compared to PoE 2 that I refuse to even compare the two games.
@@tomwalker8944 Grim Dawn and Titan Quest are so much more interesting, and have difficulty without making bullet sponges and roll sims.
Can't wait until GD's next expansion and TQ2.
@@SvanMagic I mean the end game of Grim Dawn is legit hard. Way harder than anything I saw in PoE 2. But it's also fast.
x1.7 video speed = perfect speed
this game has insane player retention lol
not sure if its player retention or jsut new people coming and old people leaving.
This game not even ten days old, what player retention? In three months from now we will talk about player retention.
Copium.
@@cgermanten days is longer than most arpg league/season lives
Well, I left after 29 hours and I'll never touch that garbage game again. I think you're in an echo chamber and all your friends will slowly fizzle out and you'll all pretend like the game didn't suck.
The Llama strikes again! 🦙
I agree the charm slots should be either a boss drop like the other permanent upgrades throughout the campaign or it could be an implicit that can roll on a belt but it doesn't take up 1 from the 6 affix slots.
Most of my deaths on rare maps are because of over tune environmental dmg despite the fact I have 35 Chaos res it's about time.
They are updating faster than I’m able to sit down and play 😂
updating with power of AI
i wish they gave us numbers for the improved skills
isnt everyone just gonna use the archers on minions now? thats what i plan on doing
12:37 noooo my ice monk lol.
It won’t be that bad. By the time diminishing returns catch up with the live enemies, they will already be mostly dead from attack speed and crit
*higher voice* WHATS up TH-cam, MrLlamaSC here
Great idea about charms.
The LEVERS 😢
Can confirm Rattle was impossible with low dps. Volcanos literally everywhere, even stacked ontop of each other.
Llama do you think poe2 will finally replace D2? I think it has for me.
Nah I went right back to D2 lol. Enjoyed PoE 2 less than PoE 1. PoE 2 is just slow. D2 ain't slow lol.
@tomwalker8944 nice. To each their own. That's why we got options.
PoE2 is so sluggish, as a roll sim and bullet sponge enemies.
It's not even close to D2 and how fun it is to play through the same campaign I've played repeatedly.
i'm enjoying the game play but my pc and eyes aren't. You've got the OG graphics toggle on d2r right? When i get into a fight with 3+ enemies and cast 3+ skills the game drops graphics like i toggled them in d2r. it doesn't break the game or cause massive lag which makes me super stoked i can play the game! Crazy seeing how the game itself dumbs down the graphics seemlessly but it does make it hard to play a game where you need to dodge mechanics that become super blended into the background. Glad i waited a week + before grinding gear since these guys are pumping out updates this fast.
Sounds like you have an upscaling feature turned on in your settings
Disable upscaling
That’s Dynamic Resolution at work. If you find it overly aggressive, lower the target framerate value.
It definitely is something on your graphics config, lower them a little

Thanks for being around for trying this game llama.. I really hope they speed down this game.. It feels like I'm playing POE1, and I don't like that at all.
CoF sorc was admittedly broken but the nerf was too hard. Half the nerf wouldve been enough.
Doesnt bother me, tons of other builds that melt and far surpassed my CoF sorc on them already.
Glad they recognize the need for cheaper respec points. Inb4 "what do you mean you dont have 1 million gold at lvl 60 due to selling every drop for gold".
7:24 very cool...joint joy hehehe!
Be honest! It's a lot of big NERFS - freeze and shock are getting hammered again! What is the point of playing an ICE-MAGE if you can't chain-freeze stuff? :(
you're not supposed to chain freeze bosses or endgame rares. You still do a ton of damage during the period of one freeze.
@@wanderer5766 u aren't suppose to freeze enemies with frost builds GGG.
Watching all these well thought out suggestions on how to balance maps while I'm uninstalling because I can't clear the act 1 boss lol. This game ain't for me I guess
This is a step in the right direction but there are still way to many mobs that explode on dead.
Yeah I doubt the change will help, crystal one
cold sorc feels like dog since launch for me
=O WHEN!
yea, the charm slot system is really bad :/
A good company a lot of blizzard customers/streammers are seeing the same =)
Let them cook!
Why don't you stream Poe anymore? This added you a thousand subs
Because it's not fun for him compared to D2. And I don't blame him.
