to be fair, for a streamer his size it prolly isn't enough to be life changing. Don't get me wrong, it's prolly still a lot etc...but it's not like it makes as big of a difference for him as for Allex which prolly isn't a big streamer and also works on the side...even though he won way more, but still. My point stands. He is easily top 1% as far as viewers in the PoE category, so yeah.
I've had a blast this gauntlet and hope you guys do them more often/have them available just as an optional game mode later in leagues. This shit was fire, well done!
First time seriously doing gauntlet as an SC currency goblin. 6 characters, highest was 70. Got so much better at the game because I had to fight the SC mindset. Thanks Ziz & sponsors!
I'm a softcore pleb who doesn't actually play the gauntlet, but I've watched all of them. The campaign changes really spiced things up and all of the days were really interesting to watch!
I think it also would be interesting to get even more skill bans.. Hell, even maybe have a poll or something? If we always knew the, lets say, top 10-20 of each gauntlet, it would be cool if each of them banned a skill or something along those lines. But prolly way too hard to make happen in practice.
So I watched some of this gauntlet and my take is that PoE definitely needs a hard mode for the streamers who play it like a job. PoE owes a lot of it's continued growth and success to streaming and this Gauntlet really allowed these amazing players to shine and also be much better challenged than they ever could be in normal PoE. The Ruthless mode just doesn't cut it because Ruthless is essentially just PoE with everything that makes it fun removed. Watching anyone play it is like watching paint dry. This was everything fun about PoE on steroids and it was a blast. GGG should get rid of that ruthless crap and commit to Gauntlet.
The game has a problem with difficulty even for ppl who don't play it like a job. Once you figure out how to play the market, trade league becomes a complete joke. At this point in the league with all mats available, you can put together an all-rounder that laughs in the face of "pinnacle" content like the feared uber bosses t17 farms etc. with very little time investment if you have the crafting/game knowledge. You don't need to be some nutter who can get over 16k es in a hcssf setting in less than a week - that is insane. The issue is imo that it feels like they cannot address this problem without gutting the game as it currently stands, which many ppl love. That's one of many reasons why they're making PoE2 instead, hopefully paying more attention to the dynamic between player power and game difficulty in the process. I also agree, nothing against it but I am so much more interested in the faster/more engaging side of PoE they showcased in the Gauntlet over the monotonous gameplay of Ruthless.
Does anyone have clips of the Magic the Gathering Shaper flash bounty? That was mine and I would love to see them! Sorry to hear about SBB getting wrecked, I'll make the rules more clear next time.
Yeah, but at least they tried something drastic that shifted a lot of the defence balance (endurance charges mainly, but also the bottom of the tree changes). I prefer league to league imbalance, than a balanced stale game.
@@GabKaulem same, I just feel like the game is too complex with so many moving parts/uniques and specific interactions that it's basically impossible to not have a busted skill/ascendancy/interaction in a given league. But I feel like the Trickster one should of been fairly obvious given that that ascendancy was already king of running valdo maps before the patch.
I mean that's not really what some of the classes are about. Circuit classes are just immediately meant to be more picky than others but there is a trade-off and that those other classes get something else.
Soooo rude not to show your face on these post event interviews... Like talking alone in a streamming world, you fell like in a corporate meeting. Just add it in the prize contidions ZIZ. If they refuse faced interview, no prize :D, then Ben would not receive his no. 1
i knew it was scripted lmfao, none of these guys can compete with ben. Looked pretty sus how ben died the first time to maven imo. The fact its a competition and ziz goes we told you ahead of time dont do all the bounties. Tf you have prize pools for
Omg Vizniz is so fun to listen to!
Appreciate the love
Jungroan so locked in, brother didn't even care he got $1700
he wasnt jocking around, full serious gaming
They make way more than that from streaming
@BadEmpanadaLive oh for sure but he doesn't even acknowledge it, he's just like "man i wanted to become #1" true sigma male energy there

make Ben play other (worse) ascendancies

This is false. You can get both in one map, there have been numerous people who have had both, myself included.
I would like better class balance on defenses
I mean yeah, but that one is on GGG not on the gauntlet.
