you get like 10 6-linked skills in poe2, make the build and character you want instead of following shithead streamers optimizing the fun out of games like a mindless sheep
>instead of following shithead streamers optimizing the fun out of games like a mindless sheep
Unless you want to actually play the game at a reasonable pace and clear most of the game.
Then you will be following a guide.
I am pretty sure you still have to invest currency to get your 6-links, which means most people are just going to have one 6-link and a bunch of 4-links (like now).
the whole reason for this change is to open up design space for combos. I highly doubt combat will revolve around 1 ability in poe2. It would be a complete missed opportunity to re-image the game and thats what they are going for. I gaurantee there's going to be a whole range of new support gems that radically alter skills and provide buffs/debuffs and combo off other support gems.
But the shithead game devs WILL balance it around shithead streamers so you WILL play the way they want or just delude yourself that sucking ass in white maps is fun.
>Using more than one skill >Not near instantly at the boss and killing it in one hit
Wow so demonstrative of how they fixed the core problems of the entire game.
Dont kid yourself the speed meta will ruin everything, again.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I don't have any faith in GGG since that fat moron Wilson insists on turning everything into an infinite cascade of slot machines which is actively hostile to the players who aren't experiencing it for the first time.
>Visual clarity, no cancerous mobile game tier particle effects, high contrast
Just like every trailer and showcase GGG release but we both know that in practice the endgame is exactly the thing you say it isn’t. I’m not impressed with any of this tbh, even the animations look pretty scripted
>PoE 2 Won
It was never a competition. Blizzard knew they could never compete with PoE, so they didn't even try. D4 is barely even a Diabloclone at this point.

>bald moron decides what to do with the money
He has absolutely zero latitude, he might be a spokesperson but the moment he sold his company to a corporation, they own him.
Those decisions are made by CEOs for margins on profit.
Did the tencent funding really change the game that much? Could he have instead built it up to where it is now while still holding majority ownership and become obscenely wealthy?
D4babs in complete shambles. >Muh smooth gameplay and muh graphics muh billiondollar AAA company
That WAS the only thing D4 had going for it.
WHAT NOW? UH OH STINKY
Go back, Chris.
If I wanted to press 5 keys on rotation as if this was a shit tier mmo I'd play D4.
Unironically have a nice day, maybe the next kiwiBlack person will allow fun back in the game.
I'm really excited for it. I'm not some 3000hr autist that got burned out doing dumb bullshit, can't wait to play through the campaign, and then be done with it.
>d4 looks like a mobile game
As intended just like Lost Ark and several others, you can clearly see by the pathing and several other details that their intention was to make a smartphone game and not a computer game.
I'll give it a try but I'm not expecting much. I stopped trusting GGG after the shitshow that was the post-Harvest nerfstorm.
I just wanted to have consistent paths to progressing my character, I wanted to try out multiple builds, but apparently that wasn't allowed without playing the game for 10 hours a day.
>PoE2 has a new campaign you can play instead
From what I understand thats only if you play as certain classes, since the story is all of the original Exiles get executed at the start of PoE 2.
>all of the original Exiles get executed at the start of PoE 2 >kill all those gods, Kitava, beat the shit out of Elder, Sirus and Maven >gets executed by randoms
???
I'm pretty sure they said all the ascendancies are available for you no matter which campaign you choose.
Not that it really matters but the ones getting executed are all the PoE2 class models that you didn't choose for your character, it's 20 years after the first campaign and all the 'original exiles' are dead or something.
can they remove orb of fusing and israeliteeller's orb and just make every equipment have max sockets and full links
orb of fusing and israeliteeller's orb are the least fun things i've ever seen in a video game
Looks like bald fricking moron has outsourced his shills. Even TFT wouldn’t shill for this shit and they’re the biggest homosexuals left still playing that dogshit.
HOLY SHIT bros, I just noticed - at around 32 second mark, witch moves backward during the meteor animation - meaning we can move while using skills now
In reality:
Character shits out 10 000 projetiles while moving at the speed of light. Teleporting with no cd. Boss melts until it reaches az invulnerability phase then instantly dies.

Frick You Blizzard
it will take you about 10 to 12 hours for a first time campaign clear
after that the endgame is pretty kino if you enjoy it play with it a bit
endgame is the sole reason most poe players play the game every three months
Sounds pretty reasonable. I was expecting some 40hr jrpg playtime. Will do.
>Whats wrong with playing for lore?
Most people who play PoE are highly autistic and stuck up their own ass. They can't fathom anyone doing literally anything but the same exact thing they do (follow streamer guides and play the same thing literally 90% of the other people are playing).
i just want to kill kill kill, a box dumping text in a really gay way instead of going to the point is not fun. >"well....well this very city....as the sun rises and the wind the..."

I gaurantee there's going to be a whole range of new support gems that radically alter skills and provide buffs/debuffs and combo off other support gems.
95% of the skills in PoE are completely useless. I don't think they have learned to balance the game.
>t. reddit
looking forward to most classes being in the dumpster forever
waow the first classes to hit 100 and take up the ladder are the ones that streamers made guides to lead the moron sheep with whodathunk
impressive cope, let's hope you can make it last
But the shithead game devs WILL balance it around shithead streamers so you WILL play the way they want or just delude yourself that sucking ass in white maps is fun.
PoE how has the Graphics, Gameplay AND Depth.

frick yes, this looks so good
hold me bros, I think we're gonna make it
If that dodge is a universal action like the D4 dodge, ARPG of the year
>D4 dodge
fricking newbies I swear
no wonder blizzdrones are moronic
can't wait
d4 only wanted me to play more poe and le
If they don't fix the plethora of useless chipped items that force you into getting some cucked p2w warehouse chest I'm skipping it.
Looks basically the same as PoE currently? I don’t get it
It's Bald Hard-R's attempt as slowing the ZOOM ZOOM meta down, now just official instead of nerfing everything ZOOM ZOOMer in PoE1.
It honestly looks exactly like Diablo 4 but without any specific art direction or discernable personality. Which is... Ok I guess.
>Diablo 4
>personality
Looks objectively much better than D4. Visual clarity, no cancerous mobile game tier particle effects, high contrast, zoomed out.
AHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH
so low effort..
it actually does look better
there is NO visual clarity in D4, the art department fricked up big time there
>Visual clarity, no cancerous mobile game tier particle effects, high contrast
Just like every trailer and showcase GGG release but we both know that in practice the endgame is exactly the thing you say it isn’t. I’m not impressed with any of this tbh, even the animations look pretty scripted
I'm not a PoE player so I wouldn't know. But this footage does look better than D4.
I honestly thought it was a Chinese Diablo 4 ripoff.
>zoomed out
This, wtf is wrong with Black personchinks from blizzard
Looks pretty I guess
where are the maps REEEEE??
>PoE 2 Won
It was never a competition. Blizzard knew they could never compete with PoE, so they didn't even try. D4 is barely even a Diabloclone at this point.
Holy copium
It looks so much better than D4. Visuals are crispier and more clear and nice to look at.
The absolute state of Ganker hopsterism
holy shit
it looks like trash.

You mean tencent?
He owns 5% more or less of the company.
Game is essentially chinese slop just like League of Legends.
tencent funds it. bald moron decides what to do with the money
>bald moron decides what to do with the money
He has absolutely zero latitude, he might be a spokesperson but the moment he sold his company to a corporation, they own him.
Those decisions are made by CEOs for margins on profit.
was this revealed to you in a dream?
Instead of complaining about Tencent you complain about their powerless figurehead, it works for them.
They're called Grinding Gear Games, not Tencent-GGG, Activision-Blizzbuck
Sure.
As pointed out here
Who are the owners and by what percentage are they the owners?
Stupid kid.
Did the tencent funding really change the game that much? Could he have instead built it up to where it is now while still holding majority ownership and become obscenely wealthy?
Not without chinese clickfarms propping it.
Like most of the stuff that gets shilled on the internet.
Chris Wilson gets to do what he wants as long as you buy his $500 supporter packs
Ownership means nothing.
Blizzard owns 100% of Diablo, they still filled it with predatory monetization and pricing.
does it still have trade? yea? then it'll forever be plagued by balance issues and trash loot
D4babs in complete shambles.

looks boring tbh, and I say that as someone with 1000 hours in poe
the game systems will make or break it
I'm really excited for it. I'm not some 3000hr autist that got burned out doing dumb bullshit, can't wait to play through the campaign, and then be done with it.

nice lowest settings and low resolution video you got there, fricking moron.
haruhisexo
D4s endgame where?
poe2 will still have the same currency bloat and balancing bosses around alt-f4ing so what's the point
Look man at least 6 link crafting cancer is mostly gone
it'll be replaced with some weird bullshit for getting the best quality gems or something and you know it
Rather that than dealing with skill links being armor dependent
you still have to 6 link your gem slots
map looks like something out of Pillars of Eternity, looks gay as frick
Looks like shit sirs, do not redeem.
HOLY KINO
>It's d4 but good
I can't wait
I'll give it a try but I'm not expecting much. I stopped trusting GGG after the shitshow that was the post-Harvest nerfstorm.

>PoE 2 Won
>Still have to play through PoE 1 Storyline each season
Ehhhhh....
PoE2 has a new campaign you can play instead
Apparently the map layouts are also randomized
>PoE2 has a new campaign you can play instead
From what I understand thats only if you play as certain classes, since the story is all of the original Exiles get executed at the start of PoE 2.
nope. you have access to all of them
>all of the original Exiles get executed at the start of PoE 2
>kill all those gods, Kitava, beat the shit out of Elder, Sirus and Maven
>gets executed by randoms
???
They get executed by Maven's daddy for making her moan.
Why the frick wouldn't you execute god killers after they kill the gods?
I think the implication is that if you can kill a god then your power level makes you kinda untouchable
I'm pretty sure they said all the ascendancies are available for you no matter which campaign you choose.
Not that it really matters but the ones getting executed are all the PoE2 class models that you didn't choose for your character, it's 20 years after the first campaign and all the 'original exiles' are dead or something.
its a completely new campaign with new terrain generation/randomization, 19 new ascendancies/new story characters etc/
>implying this isn't soul as frick
d3 take of creating a character and hitting lvl 70 in 10 minutes isn't appealing, chud
can they remove orb of fusing and israeliteeller's orb and just make every equipment have max sockets and full links
orb of fusing and israeliteeller's orb are the least fun things i've ever seen in a video game
you no longer have to link them, and gems drop up to 5Ls. I think you still need to use israeliteelers to get a 6L but it shouldnt be as bad
Looks like bald fricking moron has outsourced his shills. Even TFT wouldn’t shill for this shit and they’re the biggest homosexuals left still playing that dogshit.
>oh nooo only 80k concurrent players on one platform how will i ever be validated
play fortnite if you care about concurrent player numbers
crucible had 135k at that point. he won
After D4?
Lol
Lmao.
Chris lost. His Vision SHATTERED.
all good so far
*Collects one chaos orb at the time on the ground*
*Whispers 30 various Chinese Bots to get one item*
FEEL
THE
WEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
If you’re whispering people for 1 chaos items you’re playing the game wrong and/or not valuing your time
HOLY SHIT bros, I just noticed - at around 32 second mark, witch moves backward during the meteor animation - meaning we can move while using skills now
yeah, looks smooth af
>meaning we can move while using skills now
Or it's part of the skill since that little jump looks like part of the meteor summoning animation
they said in the 2021 trailer that some skills will have engage/disengage mechanics built in to them, must be one of those
Yeah, pretty much similar to Mirror/Blink Arrow, only instead of a clone it drops a meteor
Yeah I saw that I really hope it's not just baked into that specific skill.
That would actually be cool, it would fix one of the absolutely fundamental flaws of PoE
looks like diablo 4
doesn't look grey and brown to me
good morning diablosirs maybe you can still refund? did you redeem horse armor tho?
They all here because they already completed the game and theres nothing to do, this is normal behavior, just enjoy the thread my poe bros
now serious post, is ssf ruthless fun?
never player ssf, im gucci with leagues
Sorry your discord raid failed Rajeesh. Maybe next big release eh~?
D4 proved that Chris Wilson lost
Visual style looks like D2R, nice animations as well. Nothing more to say at this point
Unironically the only real western game shown at the whole event. How does Chris do it?
i wonder if these games will ever have proper control schemes
Looks like they basically just ripped off Grim Dawn. The fat moron is all out of ideas. Kinda sad and comical at the same time.
In reality:
Character shits out 10 000 projetiles while moving at the speed of light. Teleporting with no cd. Boss melts until it reaches az invulnerability phase then instantly dies.
sounds fun to me
hell yeah, i play PoE for the eye cancer, ARPGs with less than 40 mobs on my screen is unplayable.
That was my experience, too.
Beats Diabots IV tho
Yes.
what do you think arpgs are?
>4 years of nothing but short trailers
2 more weeks right?
btw thanks to anon who recommended me Grim Dawn. Pure D2/TQ/Sacred comfy gameplay
I thought poe2 was just a graphical upgrade.
it's an everything upgrade
>Still has to deal with Chris Wilson
>Update
No
Chris is the reason i play this game
still mad he took your item editor away
WTF is wrong with Diablo servers.

Won

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
Should I play thru poe now before 2 comes out as a complete novice? Does a basic playthru (for lore sake) take long?
>playing for lore

>"well....well this very city....as the sun rises and the wind the..."
FRICK OFF b***h SAY WHAT YOU WANT
S
Based and lorepilled. But PoE really deliver lore despite this. You have small dialogues, voice acting every season
>wanting to play the actual game and not some snoy movie goyslop means you’re autistic
you couldn't possibly be a bigger example of what i was talking about in that post if you tried
it will take you about 10 to 12 hours for a first time campaign clear
after that the endgame is pretty kino if you enjoy it play with it a bit
endgame is the sole reason most poe players play the game every three months
HOLD UP
you can roll/doge now?
GOTY
I played poo of excrement from 2015 to 2020 and have never played anything besides cyclone slayer
looks great. they fixed the issue I had with PoE that is floaty trash combat. D4 looks worse tbh.
PoE 2 bros...
We just stay fricking winning
Better graphics
Better loot
Better density
Better MTX
Better map/monster/boss variety
Is there anything GGG can't do???
