Re: Totems costing spirit, it has been confirmed that the new Ancestral Bond allows unlimited totem summons but adds a spirit reservation cost per living totem. I would infer this to mean any non-Ancestral Bond totems will not have any spirit cost.
NOICE!!! I actually didn't know any of these EXCEPT the flask rework. All very cool. The shield thing makes this Inquisitor/Paladin/Crusader/Templar stan very happy. :D
Needed this video for reminders, completely forgot about pause feature! Love the videos and hope you are settling into the new position well! Keep it up man!
@GavrynGaming it's a huge qol to the game. Any time someone ring my doorbell or my wife screaming at me to change diaper on my little daughter, I can just pause the game and not worry about getting hammered. 😃
Drink Deep and Descend says that trinkets provide utilitarian buffs like automatically activating freeze/bleed/stun cures... not automatically activating flasks when frozen or bleeding. The goal I think is to essentially make flasks completely automated, outside of the health and mana flasks
We're so close Gav! Can't wait to start digging in deep to PoE 2. Going to be so fun going in and having to discover and learn everything from scratch. Also, spirit is hype. Incredible addition.
Nearly every one of these features with active combat is similar or the same to what I kept asking for when I was playing in D3/D4. I even got into the insiders program with D4 to provide feedback. The majority of it was completely ignored. I couldn't be happier to see GGG making these changes to have a more engaging game. Hopefully the eternal realm does not get overlooked as well. Examples would be not nerfing items that are legacy on eternal realm if they are slightly OP but only nerfing the seasonal item going forward. Also I LOVE the pause ability!
With WASD, infinite dodge, slower more methodical boss fights, it's going to feel like MMO combat to me almost wrapped in the awesomeness of a PoE ARPG 😂 I haven't been more excited for a game launch in awhile!
yes to all of those 👍 i came into poe1 kinda late in the game. really hope i dont lose xp when i die in poe2. that was kinda a deal breaker for me in poe1. oh, and im so glad i dont have to spec into life in the poe2 passive tree
I'd have to double check but I'm pretty sure Jonathan confirmed you won't lose XP in PoE2! The punishment is the boss difficulty and having their HP reset if you die. They have checkpoints at the entrance to boss rooms now so you don't have to run all the way back now which is good, but learning their mechanics is necessary to get through (or outgearing probably lol)
@@DeValgaar The Lancer line "Drink Deep and Descend" from the HORUS Lich frame is most likely a reference to that scene. But it says "Drink full and descend" hence...Lancer.
i don't think totems and ballistas will be using spirit, if they are not permanent that is (zombies and other minions with lifetime haven't used it in showcase)
That makes sense! If they don't get the spirit QoL I'm sure the totem/ballista playstyle will get some form of QoL/enhancement, so stoked for the livestream tomorrow 🔥
Spirit sounds great. Cleric minion to heal and revive minions also sounds interesting. Weapon swapping is a *huge* con to me. I would welcome the idea of having multiple skill trees similar to the atlas trees, but I don’t want WoW or Elder Scrolls Online gameplay. If I did, I’d play those games. Active block is another huge con to me. If it’s optional and not essentially required, ok. But like weapon swapping, if I wanted a more active action experience, I wouldn’t play an Action RPG, I’d play an Action game. The RP part of RPG (in mmorpg and arpg, for sure) was traditionally to separate active PLAYER skill/ability from CHARACTER skill/ability. I’M not good at dodging; my CHARACTER is. Thus, allowing you to pretend to be a thing you are not. Active gameplay removes that RP aspect. I guess modern audiences just think “RPG” means “has a skill tree.” Flask changes seem like a necessity because they increased minimum dexterity requirements elsewhere. Overall I’m looking forward to trying out POE2. I’m hoping the game doesn’t have a much higher minimum player dexterity requirement that excludes me from being able to play. So far it sounds like it may. If it does, oh well… POE is still fun for me. Oh… and I wonder how pause will work if playing with friends.
Active block is there basically there as a way to solve the problem of making the melee gameplay fantasy better in an ARPG, according to Jonathan from some of the interviews. Won't be mandatory at all and we've still seen other more melee classes like Monk and Huntress not bother with it. It's more for the slow sword and board characters / builds.
RP means role playing, hold up your shield is definitely a role play aspect of the game. If you don't like it, don't use it. Just go with a 2hander class and torn monsters apart.
As others have already stated, these are all just options to add to more active gameplay, but like with PoE, the diversity to do what you want, how you want with your build will always be there and that's what makes PoE awesome. The vast amounts of different types of players PoE2 appeals to and can entertain is really exciting imo!
@@KrigHammarThat’s really a tangent to my point. Obviously LARPing is “role playing.” But these games evolved from pen and paper types. Where the skill is in the character sheet. Also, obviously, if I don’t like something I won’t do it. It all really goes without saying. What I don’t know is if NOT doing it is hamstringing the play in the game or not. That is, does NOT doing it mean POE2 just isn’t for me or that it simply limits my build options to a vast number of other choices.
@@GavrynGaming I feel like that is an assumption at this point. But I very much hope it’s true. The game looks amazing. The game market has taken a sharp turn towards the souls-like, active action lately, and it is very popular with players as well. So, going “all in” on it wouldn’t surprise me. It is my great hope that build diversity is HUGE and there’s still something for me to play that also doesn’t feel like wearing floatees in the baby pool.
We don't know 100% what the trade system will be like yet (tomorrow they'll be revealing it all) but they've confirmed via PoE's Settlers of Kalguur league that the currency market works VERY well with gold. Whether PoE2 is player to player trade or an auction house type system, we should find out tomorrow on the livestream 🍻
We'll find out tomorrow if there's any character customization, but I don't think gender will be a choice, at least not right away, the class is what the character is canonically as far as I know.
What feature (on this list or not) has you most hyped for Path of Exile 2?
I think it has to be the "Dual spec" feature! can't wait to swap between a big axe and sword for different skills, using them in tandem
Pause ofc! Omg i didnt know that! thats huge! i have seen 200 poe2 videos and somehow i never heard of it, thx.
I love the breakdown here, Gav!
Pause is DEFINITELY my favorite of this bunch. Dads unite!
You've got a 100% more multiplier on kids compared to me too man we're gonna need that pause button!
Also wife... she has killed me more times than maven.
Re: Totems costing spirit, it has been confirmed that the new Ancestral Bond allows unlimited totem summons but adds a spirit reservation cost per living totem. I would infer this to mean any non-Ancestral Bond totems will not have any spirit cost.
Fair to infer I'd say, nice catch! Only a few more hours before GGG spills the beans!
The pun on "your right to bear arms" is severly underrated :D
NOICE!!! I actually didn't know any of these EXCEPT the flask rework. All very cool. The shield thing makes this Inquisitor/Paladin/Crusader/Templar stan very happy. :D
I hope it's got that visceral feel to it like some kind of feedback you feel on successful blocks! So excited to try melee combat in PoE2 💪
Needed this video for reminders, completely forgot about pause feature! Love the videos and hope you are settling into the new position well! Keep it up man!
Thank you! Funnily enough I start with the new department on the 6th 😂 but I'll still be playing as much as possible, job and wife willing 🍻
Lightning cursed Warrior incoming!!!
All these information was known by me, but the pause. It's really, really great imo.
It's my favorite addition to the game by far, rather than porting out I can just open my passive tree and walk away if needed!

Having everyone on a semi even playing field knowledge raise is sooo exciting, it reminds me of a fresh MMO launch!
Fantastic Video! Been loving your Lore videos and this is just a cherry on top. I cant wait to see your future videos for POE2.
Thanks so much! Tomorrow's stream reveal is going to give me a LOT more to talk about 🍻

I missed the pause system, what a great feature
@@wildpseudo1016 Agreed, really excited about pausing!
"Drink deep and descent"? I did not expect a Lancer reference in my Path of Exile 2 reporting.
I thought it was a Twin Peaks S3 reference 😅
@@DeValgaar The Lancer line "Drink Deep and Descend" from the HORUS Lich frame is most likely a reference to that scene. But it says "Drink full and descend" hence...Lancer.
Hype is building, gonna be immense after tomorrows stream!
I've already alerted the wife and kiddo that I'll be downstairs until after dinner tomorrow 😂
Thank you for hyping me for the comming of PoE2
2 flasks FUCKING FTW
It's going to feel so much better when using WASD and spamming dodge!
i don't think totems and ballistas will be using spirit, if they are not permanent that is

Is trading available?

Whether PoE2 is player to player trade or an auction house type system, we should find out tomorrow on the livestream 🍻
What about trade?
Hoping we find out more details on how it's going down in PoE2 on tomorrow's livestream!
Are the classes gender locked ?
We'll find out tomorrow if there's any character customization, but I don't think gender will be a choice, at least not right away, the class is what the character is canonically as far as I know.
your voice is so monotone im getting ai vibes bro
