You forgot to mention that the $30 to gain access (and all of the support r packs for that matter) gets you the equivalent worth of of in game currency for stash tabs or cosmetics
Yup yup. Tbf if ur gonna play this game past a couple playthroughs, u kinda need that currency to buy stash tabs. I like to call PoE a free to try game. But a one time $30 payment is miles better than whatever other games do
Well, for those of us that are actually able to play the game. Some of us have to deal with tons of system hard locks every time you try to teleport anywhere and that requires the pc to be restarted.
Whats happening is the few diablo stans left are mad that poe 2 is really popular. My buddy who hasnt liked diablo in years loves the way this game looks
Lots of people going from diablo softcore to PoE2, reach PoE2 endgame and some coming back for d4 hardcore. D4 hardcore is great, way more of a journey and great community. Your gearing decisions actually have value, can't just glass Canon everything 😊
@Truthseeker-iz3dj you can't glass cannon in diablo if you want. Because any decent build let's you stand completely still. Gear is less relevant in poe2 because your skills and support gems do the same thing a legendary does in diablo.
Technically, the EA is free to play, too, but to have the right to play it you need to spend at least $30 to buy points that can be redeemed for extras like cosmetics or stash tabs.
I get what you mean, you pay 30$ and you get 30$ worth of coins on mtx store on top of EA, but I don't agree with it technically being free. You still need to pay that 30$.
I payed for my early access $45 USD, and I feel I payed too little for it, so I went ahead an bought extra currency for consmetics, the game is completly free when it comesd out, early access does not mean the game is finished, it's a payed alpha/beta.However the game is already so good and polished, that it feels finished.
remind you that there's a ton of fun mechanics and activities from poe1 didn't make it to poe2 yet, and for new players these would be mind blowing and I'm excited to see how they integrat it into poe2
@@RisenOswald delve, blight, heist, syndicate... ect, and they don't have to be one to one from poe1 i'm sure GGG gonna change a lot in them to fit the new game
You get cash shop currency worth as much as the EA package that you buy, so if you plan on spending a bit on the cash shop anyway, getting the EA is a no-brainer.
I think poe2 is excellent. Game has some issues but the game is also EA. Its just so polished that it gets hammered with criticism like it's a full release title.
I like path of exile 2, but it's not blowing me away. This game needs a ton of work. Tons of broken builds, graphical bugs, broken microtransaction prices, and the loot needs alot of love.
I felt the same way after D2. I think Grim Dawn was a worthy successor but I need at least a little bit of multiplayer, and this game really hooked me even though none of the classes/ascendancies that I really like are in the game yet.
Making a level 28-34 character with good gear joining public games to help kill bosses in Act 2 is incredible. The Bosses are fun, and with a group the loot rewards are pretty significant for that level and they have enough health where they are stil engaging. Helping newer players get through Act2 normal is reminiscent of old school 2013 PoE1 doing group ledge runs, docks, or crypt runs or w/e for xp.
At first I was sad but luckily shadow survived because he took off his inhibitor rings that was in the post post credit scenes I hope eggman survived I feel bad for him he’s just broken not pure evil 😢
for me personally, I feel the same as you. best arpg since D2Lod. I for now am bringing every character to Act1 cruel. This game is so good I'm willing to play every class. Endgame maps I'm currently avoiding and I'm weiting for some more updates on that. Looks like maps are not so good, needs more bosses, and maybe change the system (if u die u lose the map) where it's not as punishing.
Totally feel you. Monk and Ranger are sitting in Act 2 Cruel and I just brought up Mercenary to Act 2 cruel as well. I’ll start working on making Chronomancer and get her through Cruel as well. The progression is really satisfying. Except on Warrior 😢
@@iamkurogane so far, it's easiest on my warrior, but have to say i geared him up with good stuff I found with my other characters. haven't done the trails though, he's only at the start of Act2
Games got some issues, but it's EA for a reason and it's obviously going to eventually be the best arpg ever made. All the hate it's getting is disingenuous nonsense by blizzard apologists
We all know who left those reviews lol D4 players are so jealous that many played the game and found it harder than just yawning and clicking the same button and immediately went to reddit to complain. Its not hard to give the game praise.
My main gripe with the game is loot and crafting. It's so lackluster that im just going to wait til they patch the game. Idk how players wont get burnt out doing hours of grinding only to roll trash gear. I dont like the idea of being forced to trade with other players for better gear: kinda defeats the purpose of completing harder content for better loot. At least have an auction house. It is a great game otherwise, but loot is a central mechanic. I can get rare drops all day with +80% rarity chance, but i guess how the affixes are handled, i always get trash that has things not applicable to my class. I wish they designated armor and weapons to have designated affix rolls, or atleast higher/lower chances. What i mean is to have a named armor for each hybrid class, so that if i want intel rolls, w no accuracy, i can roll that. Or there can be sceptre type with minion affixes, and another w spell affixes. The result is im lvl 55 using some gear lvl 14 bc i cant force specific rolls. Very demotivating. Makes it seem more efficient to start new games and rush through levels to re-roll the vendors for gear - which's dumb. Higher level gear needs to be noticeably more powerful / higher rolls, not just the base stat. I could care less about +50 armor if my low lvl item has a ton of high DPS affixes. Also terrible: using essences only to get the lowest minimum rolls. With such a rare item: at least make the roll mediocore - bc or else it makes these extremely rare crafting materials feel absolutely worthless. I got a "+5 max mana" on a lvl 51 item: that's ludicrous. Let's do 300% of that, 15 mana, and that's still negligible. I'd say 50 mana, which would be 1,000% of 5, would still be mediocore at lvl 51. I doubt that's working as intended...
The economy is literally one of the core pillars of the game. If you don't want to interact with the economy, that's fine. But you also need to recognize that your experience is going to be lessened because of your choice. You can use the currency exchange to find different currency items, but actual items have to be traded person to person. It's a core tenant of the game. Auction houses, like what you're suggesting, have never been good for the longevity of an ARPG historically.
You ranted saying you dont want to trade but want an AH You ranted about itemisation when the LITTEARLY DO have hybrid armour sets for different things. What you mean is "i dont like accuracy rolling on my rings and armor" great well casters are not the only guys in the world Higher level gear can and does have higher rolls - you just dont like its not guarrenteed Slam some currency and get some upgrades The amount of "holy shit i just Id this item" in global chat is crazy right now - the gear exisists - they made mods so much better on items and you want items that can ONLY roll what you want - aahahahaha the game is beaten in a week and not fun
@@bigsherpa btw i cant seem to make a new thread, so i like to point out. Raise shield is not block. Block is a passive systerm, and raise shield is a different feature. And we get both insted of either or.
A 10/10 doesn't mean the "perfect" game. There is no perfect game. Even my favorite 10/10's of all time I can find issues with in one way or another. Also, we are talking about the EA lol. I said 10/10 EA. Definitely the best EA I've done.
I've heard legitimate concerns, and for a game like this the end game is hugely important. All I can say is by the time this video was posted I had about 100 hours and that was just one full playthrough on normal while trying a few different classes. 100+ hours for early access is absolutely absurdly good imo. If it takes me that long to even get to the end game, I feel great as an average player that isn't a die hard ARPG guy. Plus, I'm sure they will address all of these concerns by the full release - it's pretty much the only negative stuff I've been hearing tbh
I guess if your brain is rotted from modern technology and engagement. Those of us who's dopamine receptors are still intact... don't have this problem.
you do the campaign once every 3 months, poe2 campaign is epic, the end-game is the bad part, but guess what , its all poe 1 content. i hope GGG stick to what they said and make a real ''souls-like'' arpg.
Diablo 4 campaign was brutal to get through. And walking around is one of the core components of an Arpg. It is possible to set your standards too high, You'd be mad too if the maps were set up in a straight line. If you don't like the game it's understandable. But map size isn't really a good complaint. Explore the map, kill the mobs, kill the boss is an ARPG at its core.
all you forgot that in diablo 4 you *never* have to play the campaign and just skip it. Plus diablo maps are way smaller and you have movement abilities. Leveling and mapping in diablo way more enjoyable for me than in poe 1 and 2. Not everyone has hours everyday to work on poe. It’s a game at the end of the day and should be fun and relaxing.
