Hey, thanks for checking out my short video :^) It has been quite the journey to get here once again. Another long video, that took weeks to write, record and especially edit. I hope the video will be enjoyable to watch even for non-PoE players that may come across this video. I had to cut a lot out of this video to make it somewhat watchable. I was only able to give you a tiny glimpse of what PoE is all about. If you are just slightly interested in the game after watching this, I highly recommend jumping in and giving it a try. Thanks for watching and giving my video a try ♥ EDIT: And we reached over 100.000 views! 😱 Thank you for the support. We are also close to 1000 subscribers now, which is awesome 😊
Forgot to post the PoE profile in the description. Here is the profile and the character. I haven't changed anything since the Uber Elder fight - www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/daniel_free2play
I enjoyed it as non-PoE player very much, being Warframe player myself I understand concept pay to speed up your progress or skip some specific annoying farm. If monetary model is fair I dont see issue paying.
The Taiwanese player Aila won rank #1 in multiple races to lvl 100 in HC SFF with just the standard 4 tabs. But he was the champion of his time, far beyond even a seasoned player. You got pretty far in 24 hours! Great job!
@friednoodles4935 yea just wanted to make sure. Only played Poe 1 for like 25 hours and was getting more interested for the upcoming release of poe2 now when I have more time. I only a couple days ago heard of the term SSF so I haven't fully understood what the limits are. I find the mode quite appealing since I wasn't planning on doing any trading anyway, however I was a bit disappointed with not being able to party since I wanted to play with friends still. Understandable tho since if people could carry you otherwise.
Currency trade was actually done in the distant past by creating a public group and naming it something like "WTS chaos for exalts 100/1". The list of public groups was pretty much full of currency sellers
Not only can you 'beat' poe as a free player, you can be the #1 player on a new league / event to do so. Proven multiple times by a player named 'Aila' who won multiple very competitive races (fastest to 100lvl and others with different objectives) with no premium stash tabs. Sure, it will be very inconvenient, tedious, and require quite an insane discipline, but it was proven possible.
That is a good point, but you get the content for free in PoE. DLCs are giving you content. So technically, you pay for content in other games, which you don't need to do in PoE. Of course, more updates led to many more items which you want to store, but at some point you don't need more stash tabs, because you don't even fill most of them.
@@xcodyv7585 I'm sorry, but you really should have looked up the actual prices before commenting. The price to upgrade 1 basic stash tab to a premium one to easily trade items, like mentioned in the video is 15 coins or roughly 1.5 dollars/euros. That is barely anything depending on where you live and far less from the 40$ that you mentioned. - www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/stash-tabs To be fair though, that is far from what I would want to buy to feel comfortable in the game when it comes to storing stuff. But I'm also someone who prefers 4 TB in my PC over 1 TB and will happily pay more to get it. Still, stash tab sales are every 3rd weekend after a league start (I think) so those prices can be even lower. But at the end of the day, it depends on what money is worth to you. If I get 100 hours of fun out of a truly free game that offers me all the content, I think I can spend 10-20€.
@@xcodyv7585 who tf complaining about the prices what i mean is its like mandatory to pay a price just to sell stuff in their trade site where in it should be a basic game function to begin with.
PoE, Warframe and League for me. PoE is like a marriage commitment, League is like a side mistress (i only get what I like, & f u faker ahri $500 skin bullsh1t)... and warframe, I love warframe, besides, getting a 75% discount coupon on plat purchases is fkn nuts. I have no regrets for my purchases on any of these f2p games.... but shit are there a lot of games i regret buying.
@@Count_Wankula yeah I love warframe too but the thrill of the game for me was getting plat as f2p and paying up just as support just like poe altho I need more stash every league :P
At first I was wondering why Steve was only at 2k depth, but seeing the editing explains a lot, this must have taken a lot of work. Great video, it was a fun watch
Just to clarify, Siosa does NOT sell every gem. He only sells quest reward gems (for every class, allowing you access to other class quest rewards) for all the quests you have completed. So, if you haven't completed some quests with gem rewards, he won't have those available.
I really appreciate this video! You could have spend 5 minutes and said: Yes you can and even within 24 hours of playtime. But you didn't. instead, you really went over your decisions, ups & downs and it felt like an adventure. I enjoyed every minute of it without realizing it's a movie length video. The video even taught me several things even though i am 2500 hours deep into POE. That also says something about the depth of this game. This was seriously one of the best "challenge videos" I have seen in a while.
It's a good video, but it's not a challenge video, because the answer is just an obvious "yes you can because it's not a P2W game", think the video title was chosen for algorithm reasons rather than having anything to do with the content. He basically just narrates a very standard playthrough
3000 hour player here (shut up I know I'm addicted) and you explained the strory in a way that's fun and complete. Also I can't believe you made it past maps without a map and frag tab. Kudos to you mad man that 4 tab tetris must have taken you extra days of work.
Next PoE-Challenge => "the noob" Free to play, no external tools, no build guide, no loot filter, no vendor recipes ... nothing someone who is new wouldn't know good luck
If you are curious from somebody who did that, I didn't really know how the game worked, so after beating Kitava in act 5, I considered the game beaten and was satisfied to move on, I briefly tried act 6, but that was far too difficult and I didn't feel like going through the acts again in a NG+ A year later a friend had played it who told me about maps, so I rolled up a new character and rocked through the campaign with crit fireball... and arc... and frost bolt... and zombies lmao. But like 20k dps, 2k life and 1k energy shield does not make for a pleasant mapping experience!
I did that back in harvest league, and I quit the game at act 6, I was playing eartshatter skill extra story: Only came back to PoE in ultimatum league, I beat the acts with the help of a build guide for bladefall/bladeblast, got to level 93, cleared most stuff and quit again Came back for good back in curcible, I did everything you can do in PoE and been playing every league ever since
I do this normally. But I also don't get far because arpgs like poe and diablo don't hold my attention that long. so i can get away with just making some random jank build and just have fun while it has my attention.
I always buy one of the seasonal suppporter packs after I have finished playing the season. Its typically 80 - 150 hours on each season after which I throw some money their way for the fun I had.
That is a good way of thinking about it. If the league provides some joy, why not throw a few bucks at them and get some goodies, like "skins" back at the same time.
I do somewhat same thing If I feel like I'll play the season I buy a pack. Love how it's basically a reasonable tipping kind of thing without expectations.
I played 1100 hours before I bought any stash tabs, and the $20 I spent on currency+map+1premium tab on sale from the First Blood Pack are more than enough that I cannot imagine wanting more. A huge part of gitting gud at PoE is learning what to not bother picking up.
thats impressive with 4+3 tabs , cant emagine anymore how it was witthout to play without all the others even its only max 1 year ago i started playing, but however the pay(cost)/playtime ratio is even with all affinity tabs and some premium and quad tabs waaaaaaaaayyy higher than in many many many ... other games ^^
I'm completely free to play, and about 20 maps in. Going full minions, just got the "behold my army" achievement actually. The build is infernal legion skeletons(I got the vaal variant) with a lot of Regen to keep them alive, my weapon creates wolves on kill, and I just spam the heck out of absolution (also vaal) while everything is buffed with ice herald, electric DMG onhit, and bonus DMG to burning enemies while they are supported by summon wraith support. Oh, and I can't forget the carrion golems, there great. It's just a million minions dealing a bunch o' DMG.
Each skeleton does 1.7k DMG a second around them, I can summon 7 normal skeltons, and then 25 others using the vaal half. For a whopping total of 56k DMG a second. And that's just the skeletons, not including the 3 sentinels of absolution, the 10 wolves, 10 burning skulls, 10 wraiths, 7 zombies, the avatar of absolution, the 2 carrion golems and the 3 specters. This build is so damn fun.
Aww thank you. I'm glad you think that. It was part of my goal to show the game off in a way that would make it appealing to a more general audience. It is a bit scary to start the game and keep playing, I get that. There is a lot to learn and figure out, but when it clicks, there is no better feeling. It just takes a while, but lots of great content creators are out there to help new players, either directly or with build guides, if you need it.
There is a 3rd party software to sell without using premium stash tabs (basically the app makes and updates the trade forum posts). You can REALLY do everything with zero dollars.
Only half way through the video but you’ve already made me want to get back into the game and I went to check how many subs you have expecting 100s of thousands very surprised that you only had 1000 keep it up man amazing work!
First of all I wanna start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the video. The comedic commentary was refreshing and the structure was beautiful! Now, with absolutely no intention to diminish people's financial status and local currency exchange rates, I must say that in my humble opinion, the most efficient thing you can do IF you can afford it AND you end up enjoying the game, is to spend 20$ for the First Blood pack which instantly gives you an extra tab and 200 store points. Then wait for a sales weekend on tabs (those happen pretty often) and buy 1 currency tab for 60 points, 1 map tab for 120 points and upgrade 2 of your normal tabs to premium for 2x10 points for a grand total of 200 points. I believe those should be enough to play the game for a looooong time and IF/WHEN you are willing to spend more, you can start buying other tabs (on sale of course).
This is how I feel Path of Exile is meant to be played. You don't have to spend money....but if you're playing this FREE GAME with major updates THREE TIMES A YEAR? If you play it more than 20 hours, its my personal opinion that you OWE them some love. I played for 8 years without buying anything other than a few stash tabs for ease of playing. Didn't have the money. Spent $500 in the last couple leagues because I finally had the money. For the first time in my PoE history, I have a full set of fancy armors and effects instead of just utility for the game. I even have the turtle hideout
Seeing all the currency drops around 1:26:00 as a mid-level player with just over 7K hours fills my heart with joy. OH OH I KNOW THIS ONE BECAUSE I'M A FLASK CRAFTER!!! I wish more people knew about this. At 1:27:48 we can see a Silver Flask which grants Onslaught, a buff that gives 20% Attack/Cast/Movement speed to the character when used. This then scales with the 25% Increased Effect line to make those buffs into 25% total, very strong. On top of that, the 62% Reduced Effect of Shock On You is a an OK modifier, however I would've recommended Chance to Avoid Being Shocked. The reason for that is, when combined with a unique jewel called Storm Shroud, the flask would turn Chance to Avoid Being Shocked into avoiding any of the three elemental damage types. After using a currency orb called an Enkindling Orb on the flask repeatedly until finding a 60-70% Increased Effect modifier, that would boost the Chance To Avoid Being Shocked to over 100%. With the Storm Shroud jewel, he then could not be Shocked from lightning damage, Burned from fire damage, or Chilled from Cold damage (He already had 100% protection from being Frozen, a second tier of Cold effect, because of the pantheon upgrade he received on the Brine King major power). More people need to know about the Storm Shroud jewel interaction. Just saying.
One note on the completed map thing. You can actually look on your atlas. If the map isnt marked at all you havent defeated the boss yet, if the map is marked but has nothing additional (no golden circle) you have defeated the map boss but not the secondary "challange" to get the atlas point and if the map is with a golden circle and glowing white the glowing white means maven has vitnessed the map. I know this might still not as good as in the map tab but I think it is quite handy to get an overview like if you still need T1 or T3 maps or where your missing a map. And I have to say even though I have a map tab I rarly use it to check what maps missing mostly I still go over them with alt or check on the atlas.
I think you did a good job explaining your actions and reasons to do certain quests. It works well with your commenting style. I could imagine this being really helpful for new players without solely focusing on them as your segment. you have a good thing going here. keep it up :)
Thank you. I thought of non-PoE players when writing the script. So even if you are into games in general or specifically RPGs, you hopefully enjoy the video.
I have dislike extension enabled and I don't get it, why so many dislikes, I would've never expected such a great and long video from a channel so small. Keep it up brother, I'd love to see more of the same.
You're welcome 😊 I think 21:9 looks amazing in some games, like Starfield if you have the monitor. But to actually enjoy a video on a regular monitor/phone, 16:9 can't be beaten. Here is some behind the scenes info, the biggest mistake I have made in this video was to record it in 21:9 and not 16:9 to begin with. It made editing quite difficult or even impossible 😅 Can't make it perfect I guess.
Short Answer, yes. Long Answer: Stash tabs and the ability to trade helps. But: You need to remember, if you understand how the crafting system works and you use a SSF build and you update your gear, your gem combinations and passive tree as you progress, it should be smooth. You can actually beat the game without spending any money on it. But you need to really intimately understand what you're doing, you can't do it blind like you could when the game launched a decade ago, it is too complex to do that now and currency drops are few and far between after the drop nerf and itemisation rebalance a couple of years ago (the one where divines replaced exalted for trade priority to value).
Really enjoyed watching this, I've played diablo games all my life (from 1 to 4) and only just got around to trying PoE for the first time. I'm kinda reluctant to spend any money at the moment because I'm broke, so I'm going completely F2P. Currently on act 6 and not following any build guides, and trying to find out everything myself... Which means I also missed the crafting bench/hideout for a couple of acts haha. I'm really enjoying the game though, and personally I find most of it easy enough, haven't even traded yet! Was fun to watch you go through as a free to play too though, very enlightening 😂
I've played this game for over 10k hours with a free to play account. Reaching the endgame, farming uber bosses and saving up a mirror/several hundreds of divines for builds while needing to compound wealth into mirror shards and similar things to hold it all in my stash. Today I actually cracked and bought a supporter pack to get a couple of tabs because imo previously playing as F2P has been doable but challenging, but with the recent changes to scarabs, and last leauges corpses taking up so much space I feel like it's just not possible to keep on going F2P in the 'proper' endgame of PoE. Funny how youtube algorithms can be that your vid gets into my feed today of all days lol, stay sane exile.
posted at 0:05 you can beat poe as f2p. its just grinbier cuz you cant sell stuff. you can buy from other players which means you can still speed up the process of gearing and tuning your build. the first time i went through the game i did it without any stashes
What a great video, thank you for sharing that experience! Makes me remember 2016, when me and my friends was fighting for vendor trash uniques... Anyway, like and sub, amazing work!
When the game first came out you could stretch those first four tabs a lot further. The game was a lot slower paced and there weren't any league mechanics that vomited loot and currency out at us all of the time like we have now. Its so ridiculously easy to fill up 4 basic stash tabs with currency and maps alone, let alone trying to participate in league mechanics like Essence, Divination Cards, Oils, Scarabs, Fragments ect. ect. Honestly Currency and Map tabs should be base kit since those are the two most integral to the core gameplay loop. Hell i'd be most F2P players would be willing to give up 2 of their 4 bank tabs for Currency and Map tabs.
The way to "beat" this game free to play is to not care. If you don't give a shit, you don't need more tabs. You don't need to be any level anytime soon. You don't need lootfilters or POB. You just play.
Totally disagree with the community. Ask a few questions on the chat and most of the answers are aggressive if you get any to begin with. I only met 2 kind people this league that provided actual help for stuff that should be explained in the damn game. But no, playing poe is 20% of your play time, 80% is looking for info online...
19:58 Man, I remember my first time getting to Dominus. Ice Shot build, and I was corpse rushing him for like an hour, and it felt like a boss harder than any I fought in Elden Ring or Dark Souls 3. God I was so happy when I finally killed that maniac 😂
Amazing video, loved the silly jokes, the gameplay and explanations for newbies. Showing the possibilities for trade league gameplay (cool stuff for lucky drops and currency)
path of exile is possibly the most free to play mmo there is, while stash tabs are needed, they are not crucial for casual players bc most stuff people think is valuable can be thrown out and isn't worth anything. you can play the whole game to the fullest extent without paying a single cent and have busted build with or without extra space
It is interesting what is considered "beating" the game in the eyes of different people. I think its valid especially from a new player "testing the game" perspective to say get to red maps and get 2-4void stones. Funnily enough you can argue that for more veteran player getting those 4 voidstones is where the game really begins because then you have all maps t16 and you should have a good bit of your passive points to actually start your endgame farm. So instead of it being an endgame goal to "beat" the game its pretty much the entry that you do on day 1-2 so you can start the fun :D
Totally. It was tough for me to decide what is "beating" PoE and what would make a good story for a video, especially for non-PoE players that may watch the video. The goal of getting all 4 voidstones might take many days or even weeks for those players - depending on how many hours they can play per day. I could have said "get 100 divines", which would be an interesting challenge in the future, but wouldn't be as fun to watch, because all you do is show the big trades in a row over and over and over. Especially with a time limit of 24, 48 or 72 hours on a F2P account. Every minute matters would be my guess. That seems a bit boring for a video, because the fun part are the bosses, not just running the 200th map and saying "i got a divine... cool." 😅 Either way, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Bro, you're entertaining as farq! - That stupid Thaum seal - why do you have to go back to act 1 to get it. - 23:59 Bring them to the black whore? - 59:06 Figured maps would start the inventory pressure. Thanks for including this bit. - 1:07:21 So much crazy generousity in this community. Dude tossed me my first mage blood ever in the last league cuz I was one of the last people still selling 5c unveiled items. - 1:17:24 Is Chris Wilson the nerd Dana White? - 1:30:00 It didn't look like you marked the Uber. Reasons? Is it hex immune? I've only fought it twice. - 1:32:20 The hell killed you? - 1:35:25 I mean... there's no way f2p can stash even a fraction of the currency paid player can so there's always going to be a natural ceiling to the fairness. I don't think it would crash the POE real-world economy if they added the basic currency tab to ftp and one public tab. Fun challenge (to watch, not repeat myself lol). Thanks for the journey.
You should do more of these and make a playlist called “journey of exiles” and have it be for challenge runs like this or just a narrated journey of the characters you play for each league, I would enjoy it and have it on for when I sleep 😴
Short answer: yes. For Context: I've played the game as free to play for a very long time. Back then the process was quite tedious, requiring you to shout in trade chat for hours. But as years gone by, and with the existence of discord groups like TFT for public trading. The process got so much easier. I could get by, by just staying F2P, but I've decided to eventually pay GGG my support since they really deserved it and since there was one supporter pack cosmetic that I really liked, and I was no longer a broke college boy. It took me 8 years to finally make my first purchase, but it was all worth it.
5:20 also a good tip i remember ( not a seasoned poe player but it was a good advice i heard ) there is a vendor recipe that you can sell using two variants of boots and it would give u a 25% MS
The farthest I got is the city and I don't remember any of those bosses, except jailor. Did they change a story recently? 41:00 those are Health and Mana statues on your HUD, cool. Overall well made video. Even as noob player I understand most of it.
What did you suffer from being free to play. People play this game for year after year without paying anything. This must be a click bait cuz 90 percent of arguments you brought is literally common things in arpgs.
Oh, the suffering part in the intro is partly a joke. I smiled, so it should be taken sarcastically. This video shouldn't be taken too seriously as a whole. It should be a fun video to watch and can be an introduction to non-PoE players 😊
Some people get defensive over protecting their little gem of a game. One can absolutely say that quality of life is in the shitter if you dont buy some specialized tabs and they'd be right, but besides that there's basically no p2w fearures.
@@omuletulnou With the new Currency Exchange Market being added in 3.25, having lots of tabs or specialized tabs might be a thing of the past. Either way, this game being free for 10+ years is a blessing to everyone.
dam brother 901 subs and counting with a 126k views video well done man keep it up, as per youtube subs are broken and pointless to most, you should be closer to 100k when things are working better :)
It has been years since I made my guild so I can't remember if making a guild is free, but if that's the case for f2p challenges you could make your own guild with no one else in it for an extra guild stash tab (I think each guild starts with one stash tab?) for some extra storage. This was a really fun video!
Such an accurate description of PoE experience. If you go range/caster you'll go places and see things. If you go melee.... you're just gimping yourself and play the game on hard mode. ;D
I know this video is a few months old, but with all the hype around PoE 2 I almost want to jump in and play this game. I’m a big Warframe enjoyer, and honestly this is just a much more in depth type of game. That can be enjoyed very casually. I love the idea, and watching this video has made me want to play it even more. I appreciate you explaining everything the way you did even though it was all basically a new language to me😂 love the content and definitely subbing
longtime Warframe enjoyer and New ARPG enjoyer, I say you really should get PoE 2 it's been amazing and it's nice to scratch that power fantasy itch again! The game is also challenging as well.
This is a very fun video. I am 1 hour in and I love the way you narrate this - the jokes are nice, the pacing is great, this is a fun way to live the progression of PoE...While playing poE on my main monitor lol, gotta love the game. Have a good one, subbed!
"if you build doesn't feel good in blood aqueduct something is probably wrong" there's a few builds who need an item that's like level 60-72 to feel good, and they might not feel great till you have it.
I honestly believe you should change the name of your video and so on because it is technically a free-to-play game. There's no pay to win. And I played many years without paying for anything. It can be frustrating and a little bit of a pain but it is still a free to play game. I don't know this is just my opinion.
The only reason I say this is it could possibly turn people away from the game if they see your video before others. And turn them away from the game because they will think that it is a pay to win or pay to play a game.
@@nyubisensei1322 Yep it was pretty strange in general. Like I said I played 2 years without paying anything to GGG. There's no challenge minus you don't get all the good helpful stuff lol.
As a person from a worse off country. I'd say that having fastest SSD and top PC, 2nd monitor and proper chair/table setup are the things that would give you the edge the most and thats what you can control only by yourself. premium tabs were a thing when you couldn't put items on trade without them
1:08:30. Yes. I got my first 6-link ever through a random person donating me. I'm not an UA-camr, streamer, whatever, just a rando guy casually playing. PoE community is the best
I was playing POE a few nights ago (free to play player) and during that session I was asking for advice some guy was being a smart ass but another player whispered to me asking what I was talking about he then invited me to his hideout checked out my gear recommended you and a few UA-cam channels and gave me 20 Devine orbs
tho im saying this i was heavily no stash tab player before i would just make mule alts for stashing currency etc.. after that 1.5 ish hours mark i really did start to feel i need stash tabs
sure now GGG REALLY wants you to buy them tabs yeah also aggressive about it if you ask me with all that new currency and shards but again i really feel like its money well spent
I've spent $80~ total on PoE since first starting back in Harbinger League. I spent $60 on a supporter pack because I saw it was actually a really good value (you get $60 worth of points to spend in the shop for other stuff like tabs or other cosmetics ON TOP of getting a sick custom armor set and portal). Since then I spent $20 on some extra tabs and that's it. Considering the game has given me hundreds (probably thousands) of hours of enjoyment for FREE I think $60-80 (the same price as AAA games nowadays) is totally reasonable and fair.
Dont give much on the hater! Great Storytelling - was very fun to watch. And there is nothing wrong to claim its a struggle w/o currency tab ect! Bc it is :) Keep up the good Work. Edit: great mathil joke!!!!! :D
back in the day there were a asian guy who won world first league race with 4 default stash tabs, i cannot remember his name or when was that but being first without spending single money on the race made his first place extra impressive.
Some things i've discovered from this video. 1. People think buying tabs will help (It's more of a convenience) 2. Having 2k HP is too low!??? I always play glass cannon so i expect to die in one hit.
Your video was a great take on it. It is a free to try game. I had about 50 hours in the game when I bought a premium and a currency stash tab and another 200 hundo when I bought the rest of the other special tabs. But by then I was hooked.
Well, depending on the definition. I think it is a true free-to-play game, because you can play however many hours for free and can experience everything. Free-to-try, would be a demo or beta, which usually limits you in some way. The point of the video was to show the game is truly F2P from the beginning until the end and you do not need to spend money, nor would I have to, if I wanted to farm many more divines. Even trade itself isn't behind a pay wall, thankfully 😅
I like the aspect of this game but my big problem with it is I'm on console and trying to read anything is a nightmare as writing is so small when sitting back from TV a bit but great video glad to be your 800th sub
i'm so confused. you can't even buy power :/ You don't need more stash tabs either. Just don't pick up lesser useful currencies and don't pick up items you know are not going to be endgame for you... 4 tabs are more than enough.
poe didn't have any "booster pack" or whatsoever like diablo. and poe is the only game i don't regret to splurge to have additional tabs or skin. it is the way for me to support the game that gives a lot of content for free for everyone.
Hey, thanks for checking out my short video :^)
It has been quite the journey to get here once again. Another long video, that took weeks to write, record and especially edit.
I hope the video will be enjoyable to watch even for non-PoE players that may come across this video.
I had to cut a lot out of this video to make it somewhat watchable. I was only able to give you a tiny glimpse of what PoE is all about.
If you are just slightly interested in the game after watching this, I highly recommend jumping in and giving it a try.
Thanks for watching and giving my video a try ♥
EDIT: And we reached over 100.000 views! 😱
Thank you for the support. We are also close to 1000 subscribers now, which is awesome 😊
Forgot to post the PoE profile in the description.
Here is the profile and the character. I haven't changed anything since the Uber Elder fight - www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/daniel_free2play
I enjoyed it as non-PoE player very much, being Warframe player myself I understand concept pay to speed up your progress or skip some specific annoying farm. If monetary model is fair I dont see issue paying.
i quit after a few month...had no money for tabies
The Taiwanese player Aila won rank #1 in multiple races to lvl 100 in HC SFF with just the standard 4 tabs.
But he was the champion of his time, far beyond even a seasoned player.
You got pretty far in 24 hours!
Great job!
What does the acronyms mean?
@@JohnSmith13334 HC= hardcore, you die character is gone. *SSF= solo self found, not allowed to trade
@@lmLee178 not allowed to party from my undertstanding too right?
@@msterofficial Yeah, that's the Solo Self Found part. No trading, no party play.
@friednoodles4935 yea just wanted to make sure. Only played Poe 1 for like 25 hours and was getting more interested for the upcoming release of poe2 now when I have more time. I only a couple days ago heard of the term SSF so I haven't fully understood what the limits are. I find the mode quite appealing since I wasn't planning on doing any trading anyway, however I was a bit disappointed with not being able to party since I wanted to play with friends still. Understandable tho since if people could carry you otherwise.
Currency trade was actually done in the distant past by creating a public group and naming it something like "WTS chaos for exalts 100/1". The list of public groups was pretty much full of currency sellers
Not only can you 'beat' poe as a free player, you can be the #1 player on a new league / event to do so. Proven multiple times by a player named 'Aila' who won multiple very competitive races (fastest to 100lvl and others with different objectives) with no premium stash tabs. Sure, it will be very inconvenient, tedious, and require quite an insane discipline, but it was proven possible.
tbh when racing is kinda when you need the tabs the least, cause you're not trading a lot.
Anyone else rewatching these videos before POE2 lol
Aww, thank you 😊
Have fun in PoE 2. It's going to be a blast - if the servers can handle it lol
@DanielTheExiled they "claim" that they are ready but i suppose well have to wait and see lol
Watching before POE2, yes
Yeah I gotta wait till bills are paid and then next week imma go in for POE2, for now Im going to replay POE1 after 5 years just to refresh
Yup
buying my first premium stash tab is like paying for a dlc which enables me to actually play the trade league.
That is a good point, but you get the content for free in PoE. DLCs are giving you content. So technically, you pay for content in other games, which you don't need to do in PoE. Of course, more updates led to many more items which you want to store, but at some point you don't need more stash tabs, because you don't even fill most of them.
It's also fractions of the price ... and u csn also trade in trade chat ... acting like u paid 40 dollars for 1 tab is ridiculously uneducated
@@xcodyv7585 I'm sorry, but you really should have looked up the actual prices before commenting.
The price to upgrade 1 basic stash tab to a premium one to easily trade items, like mentioned in the video is 15 coins or roughly 1.5 dollars/euros. That is barely anything depending on where you live and far less from the 40$ that you mentioned. - www.pathofexile.com/shop/category/stash-tabs
To be fair though, that is far from what I would want to buy to feel comfortable in the game when it comes to storing stuff. But I'm also someone who prefers 4 TB in my PC over 1 TB and will happily pay more to get it. Still, stash tab sales are every 3rd weekend after a league start (I think) so those prices can be even lower.
But at the end of the day, it depends on what money is worth to you. If I get 100 hours of fun out of a truly free game that offers me all the content, I think I can spend 10-20€.
@@xcodyv7585 who tf complaining about the prices what i mean is its like mandatory to pay a price just to sell stuff in their trade site where in it should be a basic game function to begin with.
Dont think you read his comment correctly, he was taking a jab at OP for acting like he spent 40@DanielTheExiled
i didnt knew the game and just clicked your video.
now i want to do this as a complete newbie:)
cool video thank you!
It will take you a bit longer than 24 hours, but you'll get there some day 🙏
One step at a time.
the only game I dont regret paying up
PoE, Warframe and League for me. PoE is like a marriage commitment, League is like a side mistress (i only get what I like, & f u faker ahri $500 skin bullsh1t)... and warframe, I love warframe, besides, getting a 75% discount coupon on plat purchases is fkn nuts.
I have no regrets for my purchases on any of these f2p games.... but shit are there a lot of games i regret buying.
@@Count_Wankula yeah I love warframe too but the thrill of the game for me was getting plat as f2p and paying up just as support just like poe altho I need more stash every league :P
Dota 2 as well
After WoW yes?
so fucking true
The "ignoring siosa in act 3" really resonated with me lmao
At first I was wondering why Steve was only at 2k depth, but seeing the editing explains a lot, this must have taken a lot of work. Great video, it was a fun watch
Just to clarify, Siosa does NOT sell every gem. He only sells quest reward gems (for every class, allowing you access to other class quest rewards) for all the quests you have completed. So, if you haven't completed some quests with gem rewards, he won't have those available.
I really appreciate this video!
You could have spend 5 minutes and said: Yes you can and even within 24 hours of playtime. But you didn't.
instead, you really went over your decisions, ups & downs and it felt like an adventure. I enjoyed every minute of it without realizing it's a movie length video.
The video even taught me several things even though i am 2500 hours deep into POE. That also says something about the depth of this game.
This was seriously one of the best "challenge videos" I have seen in a while.
It's a good video, but it's not a challenge video, because the answer is just an obvious "yes you can because it's not a P2W game", think the video title was chosen for algorithm reasons rather than having anything to do with the content. He basically just narrates a very standard playthrough
3000 hour player here (shut up I know I'm addicted) and you explained the strory in a way that's fun and complete. Also I can't believe you made it past maps without a map and frag tab. Kudos to you mad man that 4 tab tetris must have taken you extra days of work.
Thank you 😊
I only had 4 major recording sessions, so 4 days of recording. Not that big of a deal, but sorting my 4 tabs sure was annoying lol
3000 hours? ah yes, a new player :p
@@satibel lmao
Next PoE-Challenge => "the noob"
Free to play, no external tools, no build guide, no loot filter, no vendor recipes ... nothing someone who is new wouldn't know
good luck
If you are curious from somebody who did that, I didn't really know how the game worked, so after beating Kitava in act 5, I considered the game beaten and was satisfied to move on, I briefly tried act 6, but that was far too difficult and I didn't feel like going through the acts again in a NG+
A year later a friend had played it who told me about maps, so I rolled up a new character and rocked through the campaign with crit fireball... and arc... and frost bolt... and zombies lmao. But like 20k dps, 2k life and 1k energy shield does not make for a pleasant mapping experience!
I did that back in harvest league, and I quit the game at act 6, I was playing eartshatter skill
extra story: Only came back to PoE in ultimatum league, I beat the acts with the help of a build guide for bladefall/bladeblast, got to level 93, cleared most stuff and quit again
Came back for good back in curcible, I did everything you can do in PoE and been playing every league ever since
I do this normally. But I also don't get far because arpgs like poe and diablo don't hold my attention that long. so i can get away with just making some random jank build and just have fun while it has my attention.
@@Xinderkan haha brought a self cast discharge build up to t12 back in the days, total noob but discharge used to be good (yeah it was clunky as fuck)
It should not have to require 184636 external tools to play a game. It is really lazy of GGG
I always buy one of the seasonal suppporter packs after I have finished playing the season. Its typically 80 - 150 hours on each season after which I throw some money their way for the fun I had.
That is a good way of thinking about it. If the league provides some joy, why not throw a few bucks at them and get some goodies, like "skins" back at the same time.
I do somewhat same thing If I feel like I'll play the season I buy a pack.
Love how it's basically a reasonable tipping kind of thing without expectations.
Me watching this as I start playing realising I'm not using my tabs well
I played 1100 hours before I bought any stash tabs, and the $20 I spent on currency+map+1premium tab on sale from the First Blood Pack are more than enough that I cannot imagine wanting more.
A huge part of gitting gud at PoE is learning what to not bother picking up.
True! Picking up everything takes way too long and isn't worth it 😅
thats impressive with 4+3 tabs , cant emagine anymore how it was witthout to play without all the others even its only max 1 year ago i started playing, but however the pay(cost)/playtime ratio is even with all affinity tabs and some premium and quad tabs waaaaaaaaayyy higher than in many many many ... other games ^^
I have like 120 quad tabs 😂. I love grabbing garbage, I'm a loot hoarder
@@Synky Thank you for funding the sequel.
@@blackomega34 haha yup 👍 gotchu
I'm completely free to play, and about 20 maps in. Going full minions, just got the "behold my army" achievement actually.
The build is infernal legion skeletons(I got the vaal variant) with a lot of Regen to keep them alive, my weapon creates wolves on kill, and I just spam the heck out of absolution (also vaal) while everything is buffed with ice herald, electric DMG onhit, and bonus DMG to burning enemies while they are supported by summon wraith support.
Oh, and I can't forget the carrion golems, there great.
It's just a million minions dealing a bunch o' DMG.
Each skeleton does 1.7k DMG a second around them, I can summon 7 normal skeltons, and then 25 others using the vaal half. For a whopping total of 56k DMG a second. And that's just the skeletons, not including the 3 sentinels of absolution, the 10 wolves, 10 burning skulls, 10 wraiths, 7 zombies, the avatar of absolution, the 2 carrion golems and the 3 specters.
This build is so damn fun.
This video made me start playing poe, 2 months ago, and i am at the endgame, got my mageblood, and beat all the challenges and uber bosses.
good for you to play poe 2, months ago when it's not even released.) the power of comma(,) :P
@@balazsfenyes3880 fixed it xD
No you didnt.
You knew all along 😮
This video is so good it makes me want to play the game
Aww thank you. I'm glad you think that. It was part of my goal to show the game off in a way that would make it appealing to a more general audience.
It is a bit scary to start the game and keep playing, I get that. There is a lot to learn and figure out, but when it clicks, there is no better feeling. It just takes a while, but lots of great content creators are out there to help new players, either directly or with build guides, if you need it.
There is a 3rd party software to sell without using premium stash tabs (basically the app makes and updates the trade forum posts). You can REALLY do everything with zero dollars.
What's the software?
Only half way through the video but you’ve already made me want to get back into the game and I went to check how many subs you have expecting 100s of thousands very surprised that you only had 1000 keep it up man amazing work!
Aw, thank you! And godspeed on your next PoE act play through 🙏
First of all I wanna start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the video. The comedic commentary was refreshing and the structure was beautiful!
Now, with absolutely no intention to diminish people's financial status and local currency exchange rates, I must say that in my humble opinion, the most efficient thing you can do IF you can afford it AND you end up enjoying the game, is to spend 20$ for the First Blood pack which instantly gives you an extra tab and 200 store points.
Then wait for a sales weekend on tabs (those happen pretty often) and buy 1 currency tab for 60 points, 1 map tab for 120 points and upgrade 2 of your normal tabs to premium for 2x10 points for a grand total of 200 points.
I believe those should be enough to play the game for a looooong time and IF/WHEN you are willing to spend more, you can start buying other tabs (on sale of course).
I did that. And when I found, I`m over 200 hours in the game, I bought supporter pack. Still a noob in the game, but I`m enjoying it :D
This is how I feel Path of Exile is meant to be played. You don't have to spend money....but if you're playing this FREE GAME with major updates THREE TIMES A YEAR? If you play it more than 20 hours, its my personal opinion that you OWE them some love.
I played for 8 years without buying anything other than a few stash tabs for ease of playing. Didn't have the money. Spent $500 in the last couple leagues because I finally had the money. For the first time in my PoE history, I have a full set of fancy armors and effects instead of just utility for the game. I even have the turtle hideout
@@lanmandragoran8337 mate, turtle hideout... Fan of Terry Pratchett? :D
Your Christopher Walken/Sean Connery hybrid commentary is priceless
Seeing all the currency drops around 1:26:00 as a mid-level player with just over 7K hours fills my heart with joy.
OH OH I KNOW THIS ONE BECAUSE I'M A FLASK CRAFTER!!! I wish more people knew about this.
At 1:27:48 we can see a Silver Flask which grants Onslaught, a buff that gives 20% Attack/Cast/Movement speed to the character when used. This then scales with the 25% Increased Effect line to make those buffs into 25% total, very strong. On top of that, the 62% Reduced Effect of Shock On You is a an OK modifier, however I would've recommended Chance to Avoid Being Shocked.
The reason for that is, when combined with a unique jewel called Storm Shroud, the flask would turn Chance to Avoid Being Shocked into avoiding any of the three elemental damage types.
After using a currency orb called an Enkindling Orb on the flask repeatedly until finding a 60-70% Increased Effect modifier, that would boost the Chance To Avoid Being Shocked to over 100%. With the Storm Shroud jewel, he then could not be Shocked from lightning damage, Burned from fire damage, or Chilled from Cold damage (He already had 100% protection from being Frozen, a second tier of Cold effect, because of the pantheon upgrade he received on the Brine King major power).
More people need to know about the Storm Shroud jewel interaction. Just saying.
20:33 reaction had me in stitches lol It's EXACTLY what my reaction was hahaha! You got a Sub here 👍
There is an Act 2!? I never knew that. Thanks for the info.
One note on the completed map thing. You can actually look on your atlas. If the map isnt marked at all you havent defeated the boss yet, if the map is marked but has nothing additional (no golden circle) you have defeated the map boss but not the secondary "challange" to get the atlas point and if the map is with a golden circle and glowing white the glowing white means maven has vitnessed the map. I know this might still not as good as in the map tab but I think it is quite handy to get an overview like if you still need T1 or T3 maps or where your missing a map.
And I have to say even though I have a map tab I rarly use it to check what maps missing mostly I still go over them with alt or check on the atlas.
Enjoyed it a lot!
there's no beating the game in POE when it's an endless grind.
bro puts out a top tier video like this and only has triple digit subs... wot
Aww, thank you!😊
To be fair, I have been making a lot of videos across multiple channels the past 10 years.
I think you did a good job explaining your actions and reasons to do certain quests. It works well with your commenting style. I could imagine this being really helpful for new players without solely focusing on them as your segment. you have a good thing going here. keep it up :)
Thank you. I thought of non-PoE players when writing the script. So even if you are into games in general or specifically RPGs, you hopefully enjoy the video.
I have dislike extension enabled and I don't get it, why so many dislikes, I would've never expected such a great and long video from a channel so small.
Keep it up brother, I'd love to see more of the same.
There are always dislikes no matter what, which is fine 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏
I wanted to say THANK YOU for cropping your ultrawide monitor to 16:9
You are a gentleman and a scholar
You're welcome 😊
I think 21:9 looks amazing in some games, like Starfield if you have the monitor.
But to actually enjoy a video on a regular monitor/phone, 16:9 can't be beaten.
Here is some behind the scenes info, the biggest mistake I have made in this video was to record it in 21:9 and not 16:9 to begin with. It made editing quite difficult or even impossible 😅
Can't make it perfect I guess.
Short Answer, yes. Long Answer: Stash tabs and the ability to trade helps. But: You need to remember, if you understand how the crafting system works and you use a SSF build and you update your gear, your gem combinations and passive tree as you progress, it should be smooth. You can actually beat the game without spending any money on it. But you need to really intimately understand what you're doing, you can't do it blind like you could when the game launched a decade ago, it is too complex to do that now and currency drops are few and far between after the drop nerf and itemisation rebalance a couple of years ago (the one where divines replaced exalted for trade priority to value).
Really enjoyed watching this, I've played diablo games all my life (from 1 to 4) and only just got around to trying PoE for the first time. I'm kinda reluctant to spend any money at the moment because I'm broke, so I'm going completely F2P. Currently on act 6 and not following any build guides, and trying to find out everything myself... Which means I also missed the crafting bench/hideout for a couple of acts haha. I'm really enjoying the game though, and personally I find most of it easy enough, haven't even traded yet! Was fun to watch you go through as a free to play too though, very enlightening 😂
Nice stuff man, really enjoyed the endgame part
I love how your narrated summary of the campaign is almost as long as Havoc's whole run.
True 😅
It was really fun to watch! Nice one!
"Because I'm not a top,"
I see you, sir!
Love the humour. Love the template. Love the editing. Love the video!❤️
the currency tab is honestly the best choice if you are only gonna pay for one thing
No kidding. So much space saved.
I've played this game for over 10k hours with a free to play account. Reaching the endgame, farming uber bosses and saving up a mirror/several hundreds of divines for builds while needing to compound wealth into mirror shards and similar things to hold it all in my stash. Today I actually cracked and bought a supporter pack to get a couple of tabs because imo previously playing as F2P has been doable but challenging, but with the recent changes to scarabs, and last leauges corpses taking up so much space I feel like it's just not possible to keep on going F2P in the 'proper' endgame of PoE.
Funny how youtube algorithms can be that your vid gets into my feed today of all days lol, stay sane exile.
Dude, I learnt so much lore that I did not know, watching this. With a good laugh in between. Favourite PoE video to date, thanks man!
Aww, thank you so much 😊
If you want more lore, KittenCatNoodle has many videos on lots of leagues and topics - ua-cam.com/users/kittencatnoodle

you can beat poe as f2p. its just grinbier cuz you cant sell stuff. you can buy from other players which means you can still speed up the process of gearing and tuning your build.
the first time i went through the game i did it without any stashes
what a ride...
thanks for making this video !
That Game is really God-tier, all money invested was worth it.
One of the rare games I'm willfully buying some cosmetics to support the devs
What a great video, thank you for sharing that experience! Makes me remember 2016, when me and my friends was fighting for vendor trash uniques... Anyway, like and sub, amazing work!
Thank you for the nice words 😊
Hope you and your friends jump into PoE 2 in November during Early Access.
Gotta get those vendor trash uniques 😤
When the game first came out you could stretch those first four tabs a lot further. The game was a lot slower paced and there weren't any league mechanics that vomited loot and currency out at us all of the time like we have now.
Its so ridiculously easy to fill up 4 basic stash tabs with currency and maps alone, let alone trying to participate in league mechanics like Essence, Divination Cards, Oils, Scarabs, Fragments ect. ect. Honestly Currency and Map tabs should be base kit since those are the two most integral to the core gameplay loop. Hell i'd be most F2P players would be willing to give up 2 of their 4 bank tabs for Currency and Map tabs.
The way to "beat" this game free to play is to not care. If you don't give a shit, you don't need more tabs. You don't need to be any level anytime soon. You don't need lootfilters or POB. You just play.
Awesome freaking video man, extremely well done!
Totally disagree with the community.
Ask a few questions on the chat and most of the answers are aggressive if you get any to begin with.
I only met 2 kind people this league that provided actual help for stuff that should be explained in the damn game.
But no, playing poe is 20% of your play time, 80% is looking for info online...
Sirus is still to this day, my favorite boss
Based 🙏
19:58 Man, I remember my first time getting to Dominus. Ice Shot build, and I was corpse rushing him for like an hour, and it felt like a boss harder than any I fought in Elden Ring or Dark Souls 3. God I was so happy when I finally killed that maniac 😂
Amazing video, loved the silly jokes, the gameplay and explanations for newbies. Showing the possibilities for trade league gameplay (cool stuff for lucky drops and currency)
Thank you so much 😊
path of exile is possibly the most free to play mmo there is, while stash tabs are needed, they are not crucial for casual players bc most stuff people think is valuable can be thrown out and isn't worth anything. you can play the whole game to the fullest extent without paying a single cent and have busted build with or without extra space
It is interesting what is considered "beating" the game in the eyes of different people.
I think its valid especially from a new player "testing the game" perspective to say get to red maps and get 2-4void stones.
Funnily enough you can argue that for more veteran player getting those 4 voidstones is where the game really begins because then you have all maps t16 and you should have a good bit of your passive points to actually start your endgame farm.
So instead of it being an endgame goal to "beat" the game its pretty much the entry that you do on day 1-2 so you can start the fun :D
Totally. It was tough for me to decide what is "beating" PoE and what would make a good story for a video, especially for non-PoE players that may watch the video. The goal of getting all 4 voidstones might take many days or even weeks for those players - depending on how many hours they can play per day.
I could have said "get 100 divines", which would be an interesting challenge in the future, but wouldn't be as fun to watch, because all you do is show the big trades in a row over and over and over. Especially with a time limit of 24, 48 or 72 hours on a F2P account. Every minute matters would be my guess.
That seems a bit boring for a video, because the fun part are the bosses, not just running the 200th map and saying "i got a divine... cool." 😅
Either way, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Bro, you're entertaining as farq!
- That stupid Thaum seal - why do you have to go back to act 1 to get it.
- 23:59 Bring them to the black whore?
- 59:06 Figured maps would start the inventory pressure. Thanks for including this bit.
- 1:07:21 So much crazy generousity in this community. Dude tossed me my first mage blood ever in the last league cuz I was one of the last people still selling 5c unveiled items.
- 1:17:24 Is Chris Wilson the nerd Dana White?
- 1:30:00 It didn't look like you marked the Uber. Reasons? Is it hex immune? I've only fought it twice.
- 1:32:20 The hell killed you?
- 1:35:25 I mean... there's no way f2p can stash even a fraction of the currency paid player can so there's always going to be a natural ceiling to the fairness. I don't think it would crash the POE real-world economy if they added the basic currency tab to ftp and one public tab.
Fun challenge (to watch, not repeat myself lol).
Thanks for the journey.
You should do more of these and make a playlist called “journey of exiles” and have it be for challenge runs like this or just a narrated journey of the characters you play for each league, I would enjoy it and have it on for when I sleep 😴
And honestly if you just kept it to the main campaign and described interesting builds and funny lucky moments I’d watch endlessly
Short answer: yes.
For Context: I've played the game as free to play for a very long time. Back then the process was quite tedious, requiring you to shout in trade chat for hours. But as years gone by, and with the existence of discord groups like TFT for public trading. The process got so much easier. I could get by, by just staying F2P, but I've decided to eventually pay GGG my support since they really deserved it and since there was one supporter pack cosmetic that I really liked, and I was no longer a broke college boy. It took me 8 years to finally make my first purchase, but it was all worth it.
poe's community : if you try to get good at the game, you will get help, if you asked for handout you'll get roasted to all 9 hells.
5:20 also a good tip i remember ( not a seasoned poe player but it was a good advice i heard ) there is a vendor recipe that you can sell using two variants of boots and it would give u a 25% MS
The farthest I got is the city and I don't remember any of those bosses, except jailor. Did they change a story recently?
41:00 those are Health and Mana statues on your HUD, cool.
Overall well made video. Even as noob player I understand most of it.
Meanwhile, me with 300 hours in PoE, hearing of void stone for the first time...
What did you suffer from being free to play. People play this game for year after year without paying anything. This must be a click bait cuz 90 percent of arguments you brought is literally common things in arpgs.
Oh, the suffering part in the intro is partly a joke. I smiled, so it should be taken sarcastically.
This video shouldn't be taken too seriously as a whole. It should be a fun video to watch and can be an introduction to non-PoE players 😊
Just cause you smiled doesn't mean everyone will no you are joking
@@danielwilson227 Fair point.
Some people get defensive over protecting their little gem of a game. One can absolutely say that quality of life is in the shitter if you dont buy some specialized tabs and they'd be right, but besides that there's basically no p2w fearures.
@@omuletulnou With the new Currency Exchange Market being added in 3.25, having lots of tabs or specialized tabs might be a thing of the past. Either way, this game being free for 10+ years is a blessing to everyone.
dam brother 901 subs and counting with a 126k views video well done man keep it up, as per youtube subs are broken and pointless to most, you should be closer to 100k when things are working better :)
It has been years since I made my guild so I can't remember if making a guild is free, but if that's the case for f2p challenges you could make your own guild with no one else in it for an extra guild stash tab (I think each guild starts with one stash tab?) for some extra storage.
This was a really fun video!
Such an accurate description of PoE experience. If you go range/caster you'll go places and see things. If you go melee.... you're just gimping yourself and play the game on hard mode. ;D
32:56 this is where I tapped out of this game, couldn't beat it despite having zero issues beforehand
I know this video is a few months old, but with all the hype around PoE 2 I almost want to jump in and play this game. I’m a big Warframe enjoyer, and honestly this is just a much more in depth type of game. That can be enjoyed very casually. I love the idea, and watching this video has made me want to play it even more. I appreciate you explaining everything the way you did even though it was all basically a new language to me😂 love the content and definitely subbing
longtime Warframe enjoyer and New ARPG enjoyer, I say you really should get PoE 2 it's been amazing and it's nice to scratch that power fantasy itch again! The game is also challenging as well.
This is a very fun video. I am 1 hour in and I love the way you narrate this - the jokes are nice, the pacing is great, this is a fun way to live the progression of PoE...While playing poE on my main monitor lol, gotta love the game. Have a good one, subbed!
just tonight when i logged in to mess with stuff, steve himself hit like 62k depth or something, maniac
Steve is an absolute giga chad 🙏
Very helpful and informative. Good job sir
Buying premium tabs is the best 10 - 15$ I ever spent on poe
"if you build doesn't feel good in blood aqueduct something is probably wrong"
there's a few builds who need an item that's like level 60-72 to feel good, and they might not feel great till you have it.
Currently on level 76 and running tier 4 maps on free to play and I am very much suffering
I honestly believe you should change the name of your video and so on because it is technically a free-to-play game. There's no pay to win. And I played many years without paying for anything. It can be frustrating and a little bit of a pain but it is still a free to play game. I don't know this is just my opinion.
The only reason I say this is it could possibly turn people away from the game if they see your video before others. And turn them away from the game because they will think that it is a pay to win or pay to play a game.
@@kageorigin8575 Yeah the video is kinda weird, he is doing a normal playthrough and calls it a challenge
@@nyubisensei1322 Yep it was pretty strange in general. Like I said I played 2 years without paying anything to GGG. There's no challenge minus you don't get all the good helpful stuff lol.
Steve is a national hero in PoE
As a person from a worse off country. I'd say that having fastest SSD and top PC, 2nd monitor and proper chair/table setup are the things that would give you the edge the most and thats what you can control only by yourself. premium tabs were a thing when you couldn't put items on trade without them
1:08:30. Yes. I got my first 6-link ever through a random person donating me. I'm not an UA-camr, streamer, whatever, just a rando guy casually playing. PoE community is the best

I've been playing POE for about a month now, and im now in Act 8 and lvl 65. Almost there
I was playing POE a few nights ago (free to play player) and during that session I was asking for advice some guy was being a smart ass but another player whispered to me asking what I was talking about he then invited me to his hideout checked out my gear recommended you and a few UA-cam channels and gave me 20 Devine orbs
imo poe is a game that worths your money to throw,no cashgrab no p2w no bullshit moderation of the game,great community
tho im saying this i was heavily no stash tab player before i would just make mule alts for stashing currency etc.. after that 1.5 ish hours mark i really did start to feel i need stash tabs
sure now GGG REALLY wants you to buy them tabs yeah also aggressive about it if you ask me with all that new currency and shards but again i really feel like its money well spent
This is pure gold
I've spent $80~ total on PoE since first starting back in Harbinger League. I spent $60 on a supporter pack because I saw it was actually a really good value (you get $60 worth of points to spend in the shop for other stuff like tabs or other cosmetics ON TOP of getting a sick custom armor set and portal). Since then I spent $20 on some extra tabs and that's it. Considering the game has given me hundreds (probably thousands) of hours of enjoyment for FREE I think $60-80 (the same price as AAA games nowadays) is totally reasonable and fair.
great video man
Dont give much on the hater! Great Storytelling - was very fun to watch. And there is nothing wrong to claim its a struggle w/o currency tab ect! Bc it is :)
Keep up the good Work.
Edit: great mathil joke!!!!! :D
I've played this game on and off for 10 years without buying the stash for 8 of those years and I have beaten the game multiple times per league.
back in the day there were a asian guy who won world first league race with 4 default stash tabs, i cannot remember his name or when was that but being first without spending single money on the race made his first place extra impressive.
Some things i've discovered from this video.
1. People think buying tabs will help (It's more of a convenience)
2. Having 2k HP is too low!??? I always play glass cannon so i expect to die in one hit.
Your video was a great take on it.
It is a free to try game. I had about 50 hours in the game when I bought a premium and a currency stash tab and another 200 hundo when I bought the rest of the other special tabs. But by then I was hooked.
Well, depending on the definition. I think it is a true free-to-play game, because you can play however many hours for free and can experience everything.
Free-to-try, would be a demo or beta, which usually limits you in some way.
The point of the video was to show the game is truly F2P from the beginning until the end and you do not need to spend money, nor would I have to, if I wanted to farm many more divines.
Even trade itself isn't behind a pay wall, thankfully 😅
I like the aspect of this game but my big problem with it is I'm on console and trying to read anything is a nightmare as writing is so small when sitting back from TV a bit but great video glad to be your 800th sub
You could ask on the PoE subreddit or in the forums, if others have had that issue and/or how they solved it.
And thanks for the sub 🙏
Great video !
i'm so confused. you can't even buy power :/ You don't need more stash tabs either. Just don't pick up lesser useful currencies and don't pick up items you know are not going to be endgame for you... 4 tabs are more than enough.
poe didn't have any "booster pack" or whatsoever like diablo.
and poe is the only game i don't regret to splurge to have additional tabs or skin. it is the way for me to support the game that gives a lot of content for free for everyone.
listing items on the forums is how we did it in the days before trade websites existed
Indeed... a pain 😅
But selling most stuff that isn't an item wasn't that bad as mentioned in the conclusion at the end.
