Jonathan just confirmed on Ghazzy's stream that the crafting bench is no more, good luck to HC players trying to cap out the resistances

Just dodge and do not get hit.

Good.

 

[tritosine2k]

Those pesky streamers were playing HC while all these

-s were studying the blade and respawn between two drooling for Bloodborne on PC. This cannot stand.

That is just steam and only early preorders. It is probably going to be #1 at launch.

It won't be #1 at launch, because it's f2p.

It is not atm, it is min 32Euro to play on launch (early access launch)

So are half the games on that list, it must include DLC sales. I bet the whales will be out in force snapping up whatever new cosmetics they're offering on launch. If GGG has any business sense they'll put all their best looking shit for sale then.

Some GGG employee and his thoughts about PoE2 (his leaks about the stuff shown in the recent trailer were correct, so it's very likely that he is a real employee at GGG). Take it of course with a big grain of salt, here are some highlights:

• Only a VERY few amount of people were working on PoE2 whenever they were working on a new league for PoE1
• PoE2 just being smoke and mirrors to get a huge load of MTX cash pleasing Tencent, and eventually Jonathan might bail as well
• limited weapon availability due to missing animators (working on new leagues for PoE1)
• Chris has zero involvement with the game, since this game isn't what he loved anymore. He hates zoom zoom and hates how trash melee is
• GGG is fully Tencent now (more Chinese in the office)
• "I'll say it again, PoE2 is just marketing trick to make cash as they tuck tail and run. If PoE2 doesn't do Elden Ring level numbers I think you'll see Jonathan disappear into retirement"
• Entire point of PoE2 is just to sell day 1 mtx packs. The most important thing I house right now development wise is not bosses, content, game balance, it's making sure the supporter packs are ready. Jonathan lied to you all about the three week delay it's because the fuckign MTX packs that are the entire reason for EA's existence aren't ready set.
• Combat is one sided where pure melee is utter garbage and everything is balanced against crossbow shattershotgunning the entire screen
• Jonathan turned the game from what was going to be a return to more dark gritty dungeon crawling and deep mechanics with more complex systems into just a top down shooter. Every single skill is just lightning lasers or projectiles.
• If you like shooters PoE2 gonna be great for you. You'll come to understand soon enough.
• Playing a melee in POE2 fucking sucks
• I've been at this company 8 years now and the promise was always to make melee great again. Then Jonathan came in and fucked it all up and made the entire game hyper shooter focused.

Good to know

 

[Mark.L.Joy]

I'll laugh so hard if true.

Sounds like our local anti-zoom PoE1 experts who are yet to kill non-tutorial pinnacle bosses

Fuck! I hope this is not true.. but again melee sucks in all aRPGs so I do not care if it sucks in PoE2 still, I can play other characters.
Only fear is if they will really fuck off and leave PoE2 unfinished and then kill servers soon after that..

Also worst case scenario, we will play Titan Quest 2 instead.

Date says 18th nov and world view spoiler checks out. Fasten seatbelts ...
for gutter trash

Afaik they've never sold cosmetics and stuff on steam before, beta keys is the first. And yeah, I think the list includes dlc profits.

I can't wait for the game to come out so doomposters can finally shut the fuck up about their speculation that melee still sucks. Monk is their squishiest class and has their highest player satisfaction rate and speaking as someone that has actually played the classes multiple times, I can confirm melee is the most fun I've ever had in an aRPG. No Rest for the Wicked included.

No matter how good the game is the most autistic PoE1 zoomers and TFT shills are going to cry about it so keep that in mind.

In other not fake news, Path of Exile 2's website got updated https://pathofexile2.com/early-access

OK but is it true melee or just "melee" like in PoE1?
From the monk gameplay from previews from higher levels he seems to be casting ice spells and ice walls and ice teleport attacks. Does not really look like true melee

 

[TedNugent]

Question, I never dove into PoE, and I happened to blunder into this blind like an idiot on the street.

Usual negativity and blah-blah aside, what the fuck are "points?"

https://pathofexile2.com/buy-packs

They want me to buy a supporter pack that comes with points. What is this? Is this F2P, P2W shit? What are these points for and why should I care?

"These packs provide you with access to the early access release as well as many exclusive microtransactions and even physical goods. "

Exclusive microtransactions, exciting! Is this just the usual cosmetic weeb garbage or actually substantive shit that you need to play the game, or nobody knows yet, but stay away until after the dust settles? It looks like they're selling armor packs, are these skins or actual full endgame beatstick suits premade for day 1 whales? They already have a $500 whale pack, lmfao. The gameplay looked fun but this page is so radioactive it might as well be Chernobyl.

Is this some kind of a skinner box grind hellscape like Diablo 3 endgame turned into after Reaper?

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Cosmetic and stashs

Hope you guys are not falling for a LARPer that got early access to the trailer.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

None of the MTX are required to play the game, but you'll have much better QoL if you buy the stash tabs. I also enjoy the clock tower map device, to know exactly when I'm slow
