Grab the Codex by the pussy Pathfinder: Wrath
That was fucking fantastic. If they get rid of the pressure of 6-linking items the game is going to feel a whole lot different, though I wouldn't expect GGG to be that generous given their Korean MMO grinder instincts.

A Beautifully Desolate Campaign
Its more like all base-types have the same amount of sockets. So a wand will always provide slots for 2 blue skillgems, a 2h Mace will always have 4 red etc. You then socket up to 4 active gems into these weapon-based ones, and then extend the amount and color of support-gems you can have for each of them via the regular crafting.

Slower early game with faster enemies. Wonder if they are going to tackle the flask power creep, otherwise those faster mobs are just going to be quicksilvered all the way to the maps.

Also, new ascendancies for the PoE 2 cast, that after unlocking becomes available for all characters of the same class. So lets say the shadow has a new ascendancy "BDSM fury", after unlocking it that ascendancy will also be available for all the shadows in PoE 1. I guess same goes vice versa so trickster/assin/demolition man is also available in PoE 2.

Any news on the battletag system? They're shifting towards Player.#### system so making alts isn't a pain in the ass.

glad that in PoE 2 we'll be able to say goodbye to orbs of fusing forever, fuck spamming that shit
They said that when a skill gems drops it comes with certain number of linked slots. So now to get 6L you will either need to have it drop or buy it from someone. For SSF players you will now need to grind and get lucky to get 6L version if they remove fusings. Or maybe there will be just jews and you will be able to use those to make whatever skill gem dropped become 6l

and main problem in ssf


ive missed, is there a list of new ones?

The developer joined Ziggy and Kripp when Kripp started playing the demo and were talking in the background. They talked about some of the questions they had, like how does the new socket thing work, what are the development goals, how does PoE2 synch with poe 1 etc.

EDIT-Atlas upgrade xpack and new league intro with c wilson starting now.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Does PoE not support DX9 anymore? Wtf?

EDIT: I fixed the pixelated issue by disabling dynamic resolution, but for some reason, the game is running at like twenty FPS, which makes no sense with my computer. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, moment-to-moment gameplay looks closer to Diablo now and skill gem system isn't as restrictive, coupled with animation and general facelift it turns into quite a neat package. Too bad it's still a ~year away, but I'm quite happy with the changes anyway, good on GGG for actually doing shit instead of whatever blizz's been up to for the past decade.

Then watch as the game evolved into Movement Attack Spam 6 aura exploding hundreds of mobs of PoE 1 in another year.

:negative:

It's entirely possible. But imagine if it doesn't.

They make content for the 0.01% of the players so...
That's why the early game is getting an order of magnitude easier each passing year...

I just find it incredibly arrogant/cunty to put out a macos build when the game runs like crap on pc several times more powerful than your usual macbook pro and even worse on consoles.
If their engine can lower quality enough to run on that kind of hardware, why isn't that option available for PC/consoles?

What makes you think that? It was early gameplay, for all we know it's still same zoom fest late game.

Only hope is they go so heavy with visual effects they'll be forced to cut down on monsters...

You guys do realize that the name with the 2 is just marketing buzz, right? There isn't a new standalone game, this is just Path of Exile (1) with a new campaign.

Unless they completely tone it down overall, it's just going to stay the same, at best you kill things a tad bit slower due to bloated HP.

They said on the stream one of their goals is to slow the game down and bring back some of the difficulty they originally intended it to have. Whether or not they will succeed at that is another question.
