will couch coop be on PC as well or are we getting fucked again like in Diablo?

thanks! didnt know about the chaos recipie, does this still work now?

This viable in 3.24

Poe 2 is trash. Poe 1 is trash and poe is dead.

I feel like if they are serious about wanting more interesting combat that party size should be capped at 3 because with 4-6 it’s just gonna turn into D4 just shit everywhere running around fucking everything up and not combo/teamwork and interactive oriented.

People complaining about it being slow are so head fk'd by spending years zooming into POE 1. It becomes like a psychological addiction needing to clear the screen in an instant otherwise its slow and boring, the ADD generation.

can i use pride, determination, and s-bots all at the same time.? if so why wont it let me ... please respond! <3

Just a heads up, with the support gems, Jonathan said there will only be one support gem necessary. I believe they now will support all your skills that can use it rather than just one. At least that was my understanding of it. But it did say it when you were hovering over the gem. It said you've already socketed the gem. I would have assumed that from that description. Would be nice for a one time in game explanation of what that means though.

There is no doubt that POE2 is going to split the player base. No gaming company can make an ARPG that is good for all players. You have to pick your poison. POE1 is designed and balanced around the top % of its player base. It is both casual and new player unfriendly. This is by choice by GGG. There is no way for a gaming company to make a game that is difficult enough for streamers and no-lifers to play but that is also casual and new player friendly. Those are two opposites that are difficult to match up. GGG has stated that they want to make POE2 new player friendly. They have also stated they want to make it harder. There is where the rub lies. The harder you make the game, the less new player/casual friendly it is. Either way, somebody is going to be disappointed.

Would this work pretty well in delve?

People can brick their builds in a way not to progress. Of course experienced players can make a build out of anything but most players don't understand that much of the game mechanics and are unable to reset the character for something that works.

When I look at the items it shows socket colors but the skills we are using some gems that are different colors. Should I ignore the socket colors on the item tab and just go with what the skills tab shows?

now do it in SSF

Good to see your face bud! Great video as always 📈

Well. PoE2 gonna have years of updating like PoE1. It will be also much different in next 5 years after all tweaks. So there will be long way to go to achieve their ultimate goals.

Great information!

5200 hrs in and I still cant make a build that does more than 200k damage. I am hopeless LOL

if only they'd revert the instant lmb change

I do not want enganging combat, I want to zoom through maps and watch Netflix on my other screen. For me satisfaction comes from trading and not satisfying combat, where I have to dodge a glowing circle on the ground. POE2 does not seem like it will be my kind of game anymore.

No ! I don`t do consoles i want PC gameplay !

Took me 11 h on my own to get to the end of Act 1, what you did in 28 min 😂

How would you rate the Combatdifference for a Player who absolutely hate Soulslike-Combat?

What an architecturally sound review. 10/10 review thank you!

How many have said they were wrong about POE2 now? GGG bout to kill PC gaming, well M&B anyway.

Man i love your work and your videos and this is by far one of the best you have made. keep up the good work and thanks!

People see color as a minor thing, but if a large area only has a few colors it really has a huge impact, at least to me. I remember playing Baldur's Gate 3, getting to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, which is a huge area just in black, white, grey and a little blue here and there. After finishing half of it, I had had enough and wanted to move on to another zone really bad. Not because of the story, but because of the color scheme. I needed something else. I haven't seen any PoE2 area that I think would incur that same reaction. They have more freedom there, because the areas are map-sized. You don't have to spend hours in the same one.

I wish they fix the lightning and running animations.

I don't know if the comparison with D4 is in line here. I believe they are 2 different games .

How about melee? do you think it's still clunky?

9 - all balanced around couch coop now

I must be giga blind... i cannot for the life of me see where either players flasks on for couch coop...

they give you a idiot in tandem because it dulls your review with the im playing with a buddy and this games not that bad poe2=trash poe=should have realized they hit the grail first go and fixed all the shit that they could have fixed since beta but couldn't be bothered clearly already disillusion from the dream that they would sellout in the future

From what I hear from other players regarding Support Gems is that a few gems can be "re crafted" if you already have One (I guess that's the problem you were pointing out), for example if you had "Added Lightning Dmg Support" in one skill you cant refine a support gem into another "Added Lightning dmg support" and i think that Octavian said it was meant so for the player to "experience another gems combinations" (what is stupid imo but i'ma nobody)

I'm really worried that more accessibility for newcomers to the genre will make the game too easy for more experienced players. Looks a lot easier than last time. Ppacks aren't that dangerous and neither are bosses. Last time, The Devourer seemed like a good dodge-roll teacher. Now it presents no challenge. It's a damage sponge. If we have good looking bosses, with interesting mechanics, it's a shame if they don't present an obstacle. It degrades the final impression of them terribly.

Balancing the game for both newbs and veterans at the same time is an odd obsession to have, because it is an obvious impossibility. Take the move that one shot you both there, now you know to stay away from each other to avoid this kind of situation. Odds are, it's a one time event and done, for a 6hours playtime type of game it's not a bad design but we're speaking about path of exile here. On top of that, pretty sure if you'd ask any long time gamer out there, most of them would naturally know this as a baseline. Because this is kinda genre-agnostic, even in fps games you know being spread out is best strategy to avoid a team wipe. Then again, lately I hear more and more people malding about sweaters abusing strategies left and right and all that...But what the actual fuck ? We playing PoE here, not fallguys. That's not even an L take, it's just a clown take.

when can we play !?!?!?!?

Epic assessment and explanation. Appreciate how much time and effort you put into creating this review. Looking forward to being able to play. Excitement is building

I dare you to show me one single D4 place that has more color than POE2 has anywhere.

8:55 i coudn't disagree more. It's D4 that is grey and brown and overall colorless. POE2 has way more colors just look at some of the textures in the dungeons they are sparkling with color.

slowing the game makes it more fun... dumbest statement I ever heard, it seems to me these glaze videos for poe 2 is to hype the player base... content creator always glaze stuff and praise ggg then we get things like necropolis which end up being copied the first 3 weeks than you guys start crying about how shit it is to play...

This guide is absolutely fantastic. Keep going. A question, what is the name of this back attachment?

You didn't play PoE 2, you had a simple walk-through of the early game- nobody who plays PoE 1 at a high level spends more than 4-8 hours in campaign at launch. Plus, Jonathan Rogers is a re tard

Will couch coop be present on PC?

I think they need to expand the scope of players for this Beta. I’m surprised no one has mentioned if there was a controller to mouse switch up support. There are times when I use controller for the gameplay because it’s comfortable but I am able to switch to using my mouse for inventory because it’s better. I wonder if that type of flow will be possible. Hopefully so as that would be nice.

The more i see from PoE2, the more i get a strange feeling about the game...

I think POE2 looks so-so, but once released and it's gotten a year of hard testing i think it will be one of the best ARPG games ever. Hopefully they'll have great competition from last epoch and other games that pushes them on to deliver beyond what we see now.

I like the idea of most skills tied to weapons. It's not thematic if you use a 2-handed Axe and can use slam or stun skills. I get that sometimes that weapon has good stats affixes and such. I don't want to go down the D3/D4 route where basically if an item had green numbers, I equipped it. The more damage and defense the better. It made no sense that my Witch Doctor could carry a 2 handed sword and still use its skills. I'm still new to POE so my opinions may be moot.

3:40 ngl it's cute you being impressed with twin stick gameplay that has been around for well over a decade at this point.

Lots of agreement with you here. Had low expectations for console and couch co-op for myself, it was AMAZING!
