I will add this comment to clarify. The upcoming Early Acess on december 6th is $30 to play, but the game in general and likely later iterations of beta testing are totally free. Doing this also gives $30 worth of points anyways that you could then use to buy premium stash tabs that will work permanently across all games and leagues
And if you get far enough that you'd spend money on stash tabs anyway you got your money worth of points to spend on those so the price tag for EA doesn't feel bad imo.
Stash tabs usually go on sale after a week of new league start. With the folders and affinities (which can be turned on on normal stashes) and now marketplace even premium stash tabs are not that necessary - unless you plan to craft for profit or get good rng drops. Game is even less pay to win now lol.
@@dizk8488From personal experience I'd say don't even bother thinking about which stash tabs to buy until you've beaten the campaign. It's unnecessary until you get to end game when you actually start picking up stuff worth selling and currency in quantities that can't easily be stored. Assuming things stay the same in poe2 I'd say you want a currency tab, map tab and one premium tab. Afterwards a fragment tab and one tab related to the end-game content you will be farming. Which you won't know for sure until you've tried out a few for a while and know what you like, so it's worth waiting.

I'm the same. Conner has a great voice for explaining the situation, the layout of things. Not rushed, not overly dramatic, but pleasing to the ear. Not to mention the knowledge.
Apparently some people are getting having the video drop off right when you discuss fishing. It didn't for me - thanks for the insight. Helped me up my fishing game big time. Cheers!
Surprisingly, poe 2 has some really cool looking non-mtx armor now. Kind of hard to want to put on mtx other than you want to use what you spent money on. It looks like there is less of a reason to even spend money on mtx other than tabs this time around which is really freaking cool
A lot better than poe's art but they've also stepped up the art design of mtx's over the years. Cannot wait to see what they cook up in a few years when the art team isn't a hamster on a wheel gasping for air.
Lol, the troll ending. Your style makes me want to play again so bad, but unfortunately I get hand issues and I use my hands for work, so I only 'come back' to watch videos like this that deepen my appreciation for the whole community and GGG. It warms my damn heart sir.
01. Get into the game. 02. Have fun with the game. 03. Savor the game. 04. Relish the game. 05. Delight in the game. 06. Have a blast with the game. 07. Enjoy playing the game. 08. Immerse yourself in the game. 09. Have a great time with the game. 10. Take pleasure in the game.
Also on the note of builds and content creators. The games life cycle revolves around huge hype cycles where content creators make tons of build guides. Some of them will be really good, some of them will be bad, some will be good but become so popular that the “budget build” they are labeled as no longer becomes true. As a general rule of thumb if a build cannot be relatively strong with accessible rare items there is always a possibility you could be priced out of unique items that make the build work. A good example from last league was lightning strike slayer; fairly strong with just decent rare items but gets much stronger with ralakesh boots and a few other unique items that are very expensive very early when supply is low.
New players who are buying the $30 EA pack: you get 300 points with it. SPEND THEM ALL ON STASH TABS. You should be able to get a currency tab (75), a map tab (150) and at least one premium stash tab (40). You could cut the map tab for more premium tabs, your choice. If you want to take your time through the campaign, you may also want to wait to spend your points in case GGG does a stash tab sale before you want to start trading.
@@Nukestarmaster There's a very high chance that the map tab holds Waystones in PoE2, as they are functionally similar. I'm not saying people should rush to buying them, but when the EA launches, we will know if our map tabs hold Waysteones for PoE2, and that would be the indication if they should be acquired.
wait till they are on sale every 3 weeks btw currency tab is relatively mandatory once you start trading, I'm not sure how the map tab will work in poe 2, so I'd wait before buying that. I'd say for a new player, play, see what takes space and buy what you need on the next stash sale, which should be 1 week after early access
this vid was great,im a completely new poe player and this was surprisingly easy to understand. looking forward to your poe2 content. Vid was cut short though, talk about fishing got cut off. Choo Choo All aboard the hype train
Hope this trends cause I don't want new people thinking they need to buy things when they just paid 30 bucks or got recommended by a friend to play an Early Access game.
I am at the start of the video but talking about the MTX for PoE. One thing I just love about POE2 is that even without MTX, the regular models of items look awesome! I really like finding something that not only is good for my character but looks cool as well.
I'm new, and just because this game is so incredible and free, I'll dump a few dollars into MTX, since this game doesn't make me feel like its a waste considering the quality and the community.
I started playing PoE a few weeks ago, and I'm ADDICTED 😂😂. I have a level 50 witch, and it feels like the game is just getting started. Up until then it felt like a breeze but now it feels like finding a build and getting in tune with the mechanics is a MUST. I can't wait for PoE2 - I've slowed down a bit to focus all my energy on it when it launches lol
I am a new player coming to this game and for the first time I will try come up with some build on my own and if I struggle I will look up and learn from others. Honestly for a 30$ early access game has a lot to offer comparing to other games.
for poe 2 you should be fine following the recommendations and taking what looks good. the main thing imo is that if you're dying 10 times in a row you are expected to go around and farm or fix your gear (e.g. if you have no fire res against a fire boss, go get some.) (you can still try to bruteforce it if you're confident you can do it, but there will be quite a few one time drops around the acts to help if you're stuck.)
Thank you for this I've subbed liked and belled. I'm hoping I can be smart to grasp enough to enjoy the game. Also is there no date for the free to play release date?
Well that was some very useful information, I've played for however many thousands of hour and didn't realize that when fishing... Wait, give me a second theres someone knocking on the door.
I'm a brand new player. Haven't played POE1 but I'm hyped to play this game. To be honest if I never came across this vid I would have never known buying from someone would be a ban-able offence, so RIP those who're like me but still wont know that. Not to mention the difference between "More vs Increased" would have never occurred me so thanks. Couple questions tho: 1) How will POB carry over if its a totally different set up? 2) In POE1 was there a good variety in the cosmetics?
a new PoB will be made likely within days. call it PoB2 if you will theres a wide range of cosmetics, some are 1 time buys only or come back later but most are always available. also one of the most popular buys is alternate skill effects, so your fireball can look different than the base fireball for example
Oh, I see, there will be a part 2 video dropping soon to discuss fishing. Your editing got messed up a little I think. Looking forward to that next vid.
Awesome video! After 2k hours only yesterday i understood that theres difference between more and increased because i started a bleed build, could you make a vid about poe2 some in depth class theories? DOTs could be meta with all the mechanic dodging?
Hope you're right about the "will dominate the market for a decade", I'd love it if that turns out to be true but I do have my doubts, I'm seeing more and more problems with every new piece of information we get lol
If you are new you dont even need to spend more money on stash tabs, if you buy the beta you get 300 points with it, hold your 300 until they do a stash sale and gg
you need a few stash tabs for sure, like $25 worth in poe 1. Delve tab really is worthless though 4 stash tab gaming is respectable but no one should subject themselves to that post campaign
Yeah because RMT is a fucking fraction of a percent of PoE, and almost everyone who will ever touch the game will never suffer more than an eye roll at its inevitable existence. RMT and TFT are not central to PoE1, and will not be in PoE2.
I also think Grindig Gear is very fair in terms of their financing concept for PoE 1 and 2. But you don't have to hype them up and act as if they were the last honorable developer. That's just bullshit. I could list a few here, but for example you might have heard of Larian from BG3. ;-) From software also has a pretty good reputation, and rightly so.
at 12:50, not even mageblood? it seems like every elite top tier streamer/player has a mageblood. I have only 350 hrs in PoE so maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.
I wanna add one. If you actually like the game, don't go to the subreddits or the main forums. Nothing but ignorant morons there that are perpetually miserable because the one build they managed to kill some bosses with because it was so broken is now nerfed and instead of actually learning the game and getting good they blame GGG and the game for their shortcomings
its just good to be aware that when any new game comes out there is a flood of glaze videos saying "every single thing that was just announced is the greatest thing ever" which if that gets pushed up by the algorithm or those people get more access to info from the company it can sometimes be hard to trust something if everyone says its the greatest thing ever. that is not my style of talking about things so take that for what you will
The game is not free... You need to pay to get into early access which is their veiled way of selling the game. I'm fine with it, I think the money it's well deserved, just don't do this shady shit.
more vs increased is just base damage vs total damage or like additional vs multiplicative, there are better wordings for it and I wish the devs used better wording to say that lmao
Calling a company ethical that is wholly owned by Tencent, meaning ALL the profit goes directly to supporting the CCP and a government that has engaged in the holocaust of Uyghur people, is beyond insanity. You should rethink the language you're using.
not sure y u say this game is free. Its just a good trial game. U literally will suffocate without a currency tab and 1 extra tab. But I would rather test the whole game and pay $25 for that then to sit here and pay $25 to find out its dog shit.
are you actually going to take the stance and argue that the vast majority of the gaming industry doesnt only make decisions based on immediate bottom line? boy I've got a bridge to sell you
The game is not free, it costs $30 and comes with a fully-functional stash as well as as many invisible flask/aura MTXs as you want. It WILL be free in about a year, but if you wait/plan to wait there'll probably be multiple other videos more relevant to you by the time full release comes around.
