    Let us know what you think of this video, it's quite different from what we usually make, and took a lot of effort.
    Thanks!

      its really good, can go into people that play poe in general as well, like example; phox, RF? why? "story of pohx", Kripparian, what made you premote this game, what do you like? and so on. can even to people like Bex, or Tarke into baeclast, can interview lots of people that are known people in the community for diffrent reasons, but keep it 10-15min shorts.

      Would have liked to see a little expansion on his answers, whether it's just agreeing, sharing an anecdote, or asking another question. The format just seemed to be question - answer - next question. Almost felt a little clinical. I did like the questions you had lined up!

    This video was so cool! Love to hear from Ben. I've learned so much the past few leagues just having his stream on in the background and retaining some of the vast amounts of info he spits out while answering questions and theorycrafting. It's crazy how chill he always is and his knowledge of POE is absolutely absurd.

    This was awesome, great interview. Ben is such a down-to-earth guy and it's nice hearing his answers. Particularly, the one about what new players should focus on; I've had trouble wording that one to my friends, so I'll have to snag his answer for next time. You go past the 10k hour mark and everything makes you jaded and you start to forget how many things there were to learn about POE... Until your wife starts the game fresh and you re-remember the new player experience (I started on HC with hundreds of deaths, pre-POB, she's starting on SC).

    Hi, I've seen one of your video a out Dungeon Siege 2. My father and I are absolute fans of DS2, we have thousands of hours of play under our belts. For a while, we have been trying to make video captures of the game, without success. Dozens of software, change the display, launch the game before launching the recording... nothing works. And we don't use Steam because we have the cd.
    Would it be possible to know with which software you made yours? Or do you know another way to do it ?
    Thanks in advance ^^

    I would love it if races was that it was the amount of speed it takes you from making your first character of the league to killing the boss so you can play for 1 hour stop and then come back 5 hours later and continue your race so it was based on gameplay hours instead. Always when it comes to these things I always think "oh they are unemployed or taken some vacation days to be available to play, and told their close ones that they wont be sleeping for the next 48 hours.

  • @Zetsuei13
    @Zetsuei13 Před rokem +6

    I've learned so much from listening and watching Ben. As someone who is extremely casual, Ben has made my time in PoE so much more enjoyable with the knowledge he passes on each stream. I went from getting to maps in a week, to getting to maps in a day; full cleared atlas, and bosses in the time it used to take me just to get to maps. I would certainly dub' him best PoE player in the world, not only because of his performance, but also because of his knowledge.

    Ben always seemed to me like someone who just excels at games, there's a similiar mindset and way of thiking in people who 'happen' to be excellent at multiple games. Critical thinking and also being able to self-reflect criticaly (failure is the richest learning resource) is always a common theme. Armchair psychologist aside, love the video format and hearing from Ben!

    I like bossing too, I wish I wasn't so terrible at it. I still haven't beaten regular Maven or any ubers and the build I played this league was arguably the strongest build I've ever played. I killed The Feared no problem but Maven's final phase just breaks my brain, and since I don't play ssf I feel like I'm wasting a divine everytime I try and fail so practicing is hard because I just sell the writs most of the time.

      if u can try to ignore the price of the writ. treat it as an investment. u have to constantly fight bosses until you get good at them, even if each try u are losing money. when u finally master it, you will rarely ever fail. if you're really trying to improve, u have to do those steps
      if u have currency on standard i would just blow it on bosses as long as u have a decent gear char
