They've had such a hard on for a long time with just spawning monsters right next to you, and every mechanic they carried over seems to keep it. Ritual, Breach, Ultimatum, survival rooms in Sanctum, they're all just monster spam appearing right next to you. Always hated this design choice because positioning goes out the window with it. You just get attacked from dudes appearing right next to you.
I'm literally playing a bone/chaos build and it's fine in Acts1&2. Stacking contagion and essence drain does good dmg. Contagion can destroy big groups. Bone storm does crazy good dmg, you just have to learn the timing. Bone cage is just good for some quick aoe and cc.
i wanted to combine resonating shield with thorns on warbringer ( uniques crown of the pale king and briarpatch) with scavenged plating buff , but atm mace strike with a white weapon does more dmg. as litteraly the gems has the same flat as a white mace at the same lvl , but the gem gets only 35% attack dmg at the start that it is avaiable
The trials honor system does not make sense due to the game design on defense. It should be made that you only lose honor if your HP drops below x%, probably 50-75%. Makes no sense to lose honor when my HP does not go down because my energy shield took a small hit, my armor absorbed most of the damage and I life steal the HP back, or I stood in the wrong place when there was some goop draining my HP for a second. Blatantly forcing either evasion type defense or just spamming roll while staying away.
I'm currently several hours into POE2 and this is a lot harder than I expected. I'm playing a Warrior and it's like I have to just grind levels way too much to progress. I'm up to The Mad Wolf of Ogham and the transformed version of the boss is impossible. I'm going to have to grind at least 5 levels to even have a shot.
I am at least overtime hoping for them to create different areas for different play styles (such as AoE mob killers, or better single target assassins) to farm at, so each class & play style can farm gear / exp, have their own impact on the ecosystem via balanced crafting & marketing. Looking forward for your next videos & streams. Your dear Turkish Marketing Advisor with a bad Aura. 🏴☠
If at least there were different enemy types, you know? Everything dies to AoE, but some enemies are SUPER resilient to debuffs through spamming, or resilient to CC through speed and gap closers, or resilient to stun because... I dunno they just randomly give units like -90% stun duration for some reason.
@@Shinshinvariety Early game is fantastic. But on the mid-late game they really gotta take it slow as how they promised and marketed the game. "Not a room clearing sim, but more of a tactical aRPG." Also a quote from you, "I don't understand why they pissed off their fan base just not to create a new fan base for the genre." It's ok if there is actually a balanced economy and different enemy types to farm different resources, but oh man. The damage & health scaling doesn't look healthy right now. We'll see how they will react to the community. Difficulty shouldn't only mean higher stats, but should include different mechanics like different attack patterns or group buffs. I also believe that bosses should get decaying barriers if their health is getting destroyed in short amount of time periods to prevent funny one shots or crazy dps builds that makes players avoid core mechanics.
I think they need to make animation speed and animation cancelling a late game thing. Warriors just become riven/Ambessa players but it is what it is. Vampire survivors style people just want to walk and watch waves of minions melt
Sekehmas is far from fixed, there is no way to tweak this, it's necessary for progression and it screws up most of the builds and classes in the game. The chaos trial is much "harder" but much fairer too, this honor thing can't be fixed, it needs to be removed.
Yeah I legit think they should just make the honor run so goddamn easy you basically can’t fail until they come up with something better. 6 honor points at 89 and I don’t really care to try anymore no matter how easy it’d be.
@@zsep8688 how are they gonna know who is melee and whose range though? if it's calculated on hit range players can just put a melee weapon on their 2nd slot and weapon swap before getting hit, if it's calculated on trial start range can equip melee while entering and change to range after it starts.
@@umutalicoskun1096 They can just weapon swap before getting hit? As if this trivializes things? What? The rest of what you said I agree with, but that comment there is odd to say the least.
If the mapping system eventually devolves into aoe clear ( already is at the top end and not only aoe but also single damage ) their best route is making content suited for single target DMG and that also becomes the meta for that particular content unless arguably bad design decision like capping damage on mobs / HP sponges that eventually penalizes aoe clear , i see where youre coming from and tbh i don't mind either aoe or single target content if builds shine without too much of a disparity in clear time.Mapping or content with High density/lower life gotta have a corresponding low density / higher HP counterpart imho and that takes time to make the content for it or retooling like bosses in the mapping system
I think all the build nerfing that GGG has been doing is to fight against this, zoom aoe map clearing, I agree with your points but that would be hell to balance.
Can't thy make 'aoe' maps for those enjoyers and 'smaller density stronger mob maps for those enjoyers? Maybe they'd have 90% ranged aoe dmg reduction on all non aoe maps? So melee slow aoe can be used still?
They keep doubling down on the AoE zoom zoom endgame, so I'll probably play through the campaign once when it goes free to play and quit. Hopefully Titan Quest 2 has some challenge in it.
I hope the devs steer this game away from the aoe spamming zoom festival that most ARPG's have been designed for, I've been enjoying the slow pace of the campaign combat, to hear that it drops off into this other clown tier map zooming gameplay afterwords is disappointing.
I hated poe1 specifically for this style of play where your build is measured on how fast you can cover the map with aoe. I like poe2 because has slower more deliberate pace. It is so sad that in the endgame it is poe1 again. I am not interested then.
Your take on gear and mods is off. You tell us there is no gear pressure and the only mod that is important is life and then whine warrior has a hard time to get defense on his gear? For me it seems you play more on the trade site then in the game. For ppl not using trade or trying to avoid it somewhat gearing is a real challange and there is no way to target craft anything besides spamming Wisdom Scrolls. So Mod pressure is REAL. Especially for must have mods like resists.
This video is a bit strange to me because each time you see a fix they're making, you go on a very long rant about how bad that thing is right now. Yes, they know, that's why they're fixing it. The parts where you talk about what more things should be fixed sound a lot more productive.
First content patch? Youre such an ignorant, its the third patch they implemented in a 10 day old game. First one came 2-3 days into launch. Give these devs some god damn credit.
Glad to see you're in the game with us, broski. I remember watching way back when during the league era, looking forward to seeing what's new!
Hash you have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to listen to you talking about a game im interested in once again
Thanks for the video.
Always enjoy shin talking about patches, honestly miss the league ones.
for someone who is talking with a deodorant stick in his hand, makes a lot of sense
Tactical deo stick from the future
Random comment to help the algoritm, glad to see you back on poe dude.
Thank you I am spite-playing.
One up point of Trial of Sekhema is the drops from chests at the end
It's not a great up-point but an up-point all the same

Well you don't pick melee for power, you pick it for playstyle of pure masculine urge to get real close with enemies🗿
I pick melee because magic is for cowards.
Rolling slam would be such a fun move, if it actually worked right. Also if I didn't die before my 2nd slam went through lol

I'd agree but the game is skewed heavily towards being ranged so taking that away from melee would make it even worse probably.
Sekehmas is far from fixed, there is no way to tweak this, it's necessary for progression and it screws up most of the builds and classes in the game.

They should just give melee a X2 base modifier for honor if they really wanna keep it

@@twistedumbrella7537 yeah that was stupid, just tryanna think of the edge cases
Imagine playing new games and still having bruiser vs ranged disparity 😂
