If you're starting the discussion by insulting someone, then we don't have much to talk about. All I'll say-and I'm not going to engage in further conversation-is that we're willingly TESTING the game, and that was the 0.1.0c hotfix of the game. It's still far from the official release.

You can also be angry in the UA-cam comment section, but it gets you and your beloved game that you deeply care about nowhere
@@Yes-bm4vn Yeah so many people are ignoring or unaware that this game will be early access for at least half a year. They are tweaking systems based on direct customer feedback before release, it's a great idea. The salt and trolls are annoying.
A lot of people were quite harsh about the drop stuff but from their perspective it's definitely the smart decision to start low and slowly increase, for one thing it just feels better for the players to feel like they're getting more rather than having drops being taken away, and if you give too much at the start then that loot is there forever
Well me and many others dont want drops like d3 its more fun to make use of the little u got. That forces you to think and evolve diffrent strats. I dont know How much they incerased but its in the wrong direction.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why they give drops from 30+ levels under the map area? What's the point? I feel like I need an "advanced only" loot filter in my second loop through the campaign.
Im still waiting for this game to impress me, I hope it does.....Ive got only 10 hours so far fyi. I had fun in all the Diablo games by now. Also, classes based off weapons is dumb, you all hate New World right?
It is impressive especially compared to a certain exile-like game devs (who charged you every time a new mob type drops and you are now seething in the comments)@@JamesSmithTexas
@JamesSmithTexas I payed £25 which isn't even close to a full price game of this standard now days. Got £25 worth of ingame shop money, and the game is going to be free in 6-12 months.
30 bucks is not full price for a triple A title. Aside from that, games in Early Access will have problems with balancing and will be rough around the edges. If that’s cause for some people to not wanna pay for it (which I think is perfectly reasonable) then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with waiting for the game to launch in free to play. Nobody is forced into participating in Early Access.
@@JamesSmithTexas they are charging $30 and you get $30 of in game currency with it. Not exactly the same as "charging for early access", you also have the option of I dunno, waiting… It’s also day 3 and they have released 9 hotfixes and 2 larger patches. Not sure how they could be any speedier, this is almost unheard of in most other titles.
I mean, it is early access, I don’t wanna be that guy but early access is the problem the best time to get feedback. Also, I have my faith in GGG a lot so I’m sure they will adjust a lot of things.

Chaos Orbs, if you had a good amount of them, would be super powerful in this game. If the intent is to Regal to create 3 stat rares, you could then reroll a 3 stat item to be perfect and exalt slam it and get something really good. I like what they're trying to do here, but it definitely will need some tweaking to get right. I didn't understand why they removed alts, but this makes more sense. If you had perfect 2 stat items all the time from alts, and could just regal and try to force reroll a trash 3rd stat, getting perfect 3 stat items would be a bit easier. I'd almost argue that chaos orbs are more important to crafting now than exalts, because it's the easiest way to create good base items from a 3 stat rare. That is of course assuming you can actually get them frequently (chaos orbs). I'm all for slamming a few exalts finally in this game. That said, I do think we need to see more currency drop all together. If I'm not exalt slamming something almost everytime I play, then I think the purpose of this rework to currency is kind of a moot point because more loot is always more fun unless the crafting isn't super stressful due to currency limitations and is a bit more engaging content. If there's no point to crafting, why nerf loot, right? And that's where we're headed if currency doesn't drop in good quantities. I think they're trying to reach some perfect balance, but I think they really need to just go all in on one approach to crafting. Either we go back to more deterministic crafting and more loot from POE1, or we go hard with currency drops and let people go crazy with the new style crafting based one exalt slams. Personally I'd like to see them go with the second option. I think the engine and combat mechanics are really good right now. Just the changes to movement and the slow gameplay is enough for the game to feel completely different than POE1. I don't think we need to play this currency battle where people don't want to craft because currency is so limited. It's making the experience tough on more casual players and I think there's a really good opportunity to bring in a strong new playerbase if crafting was fun and engaging. Right now it's just too pricey still. If loot/crafting was perfect in this game, people would be all over it.
They specifically don't want you to be able to infinitely roll items to perfection, because that makes people hoard currency. Some options for it can exist, but they need to be rare. This is the only way drops can be valuable.
@@hanselito2416They were probably intended as something that can potentially salvage a bad regal or early exalt, 1/3 or 1/4 is a pretty decent chance to hit the mod you want gone. Whether you'll get something better is a different question, but it's still giving you another shot at it, or several if you get lucky.
I think the idea with chaos orbs is when you have all the prefixes or suffixes you want but you have one bad of the other. Or maybe you have 3 prefixes 2 suffixes and one of the suffixes is bad. So you lock the prefix (or suffix) in with an omen, and then try to reroll the bad suffixes into something good. It’s just an extra layer of trying to fix a mostly good item on one side but one bad affix on the other side. I think I would personally prefer the old chaos orb back but I like that they’re trying stuff. I think I would prefer a dedicated currency for that, and then have chaos orb back though. The whole point of it being called a chaos orb was because it rolled the whole item. “Chaos”.
I love how in every Llama video he starts off looking super serious for like 2 seconds and gradually fades into the happiest smile for the rest of the video. lol
The big problem with getting trapped is that it looks like there's enough space to get through monsters and terrain, but you actually are getting stuck. I don't mind if you are being overrun and trapped. But when the monsters are slightly in the way and you still get stuck, that's annoying.
what i think about getting trapped is that maybe it should be lessened, but not removed, since is still your fault if mobs are able to trap you. maybe they should make the roll lower your hitbox when rolling so that you can squeze out of some of those situations better, but still get trapped if there are a lot of mobs. also, it opens the door to future items, skills, effects, passives... that help with that
Chaos Orbs are most often used with Omens to limit, for example, only the prefix or only the suffix can be changed in the next craft, this combination to start crafting an already rare item with 3 or 4 mods is very strong.
Last night killed Act 1 boss after MANY tries, and died at the last moment to one of those chaos spikes. I watched the hooded one dialogue, helpless at all the currency and unique drop on the ground I was supposed to get for my first kill. Had to respawn at checkpoint and the items are gone, of course. So. Thanks, game.
Same happend to me but in my trial. I had full bags so i tpd home. But it didnt let me return so lost alot of loot from the chests. Very annoying. I hope thats not intentional.
@@theevilmrfrydamn man that stinks I have three uniques on my character before the final boss of act 1. I got a unique rose quarter staff, a unique shield, and a unique helmet. I'm in act 2 Midway and I still haven't changed them out Just keep adding to him. I haven't seen anything new yet.
The issue is that players do not get that a larger gold pile is worth like 2-3 rares. On top of this, you are likely to NOT get an upgrade. So you would be selling those items anyway. Bosses always dropping at least 1 rare is big.
Love the checkpoint teleport change. Some of the biggest OOF moments I've had while playing have been town portaling when a map's nearly completed, get sidetracked for a couple minutes too long, now the portal's gone, the map's reset and have to do it all over again 😵 At least now you can teleport to a forward checkpoint and hopefully find what you need quickly again (remaining quest or exit somewhere near the other end).
If they convert Llama a full time D2 player to PoE2 you know they are doing something right 😂 the game is so good, glad they are listening and can't wait till the game fully releases. Going to be amazing!
Hope to see some more crash fixes soon. Still get seemingly random freeze/crash to desktop. That said, these fixes were needed most at the moment, so yay!
I love how well GGG does. Out of all the games, early access, and or new realises I have been a part of recently; this has been the smoothest and quickest to make changes and has done a great job to not super nerf stuff and so forth. But great freaking job!
I'm so happy rn...these changes are amazing!! And whether you love the game or hate the game, can we all just take a moment to appreciate how these devs actually care and listen?? So refreshing in this modern day and age
I think with the more regals now, the chaos orb 1 stat change makes sense.. from magic to rare you have 3 affixes. If that regal potentially bricked your otherwise good magic item, you now have a chance to fix it at that point before going further. And if you're able to roll more rares, then you wouldn't need chaos to roll completely new mods anyway. I like the change.
i like that they're careful about drops outside the egregious state of gemcutters. it's as you say: up the drops by 10-20% and check again. if its still too little, go another 10-20%. better than a 200% blanket buff that can never be tuned down without a massive shitshow!
I GLADLY bought the highest tier early access pack not for the content itself, but because I wanted to support GGG for this exact reason; they LISTEN to their base and adjust accordingly. I will continue to do so as well in the future.
this is really good well done GGG I like how Ruthless-Like the game feels. I don't want that feeling changed. I want to have that "wow!" moment when dropping a rare item, even if for a different build. Less items, more quality.
if they keep up the good work on this game its a serious contender on the best ARPG game of all time... D2LOD has been the best so far for me personally but this seems like a modern successor which is just as fun to play
So big fan of your content. Been watching your d2 videos for years and happy to see you with more Poe content. So about chaos orbs in their current state. I actually think they are very insane in that they are now essentially an annulment orb and an exalt in a single currency. The second of why I think they changed it is that with no orbs of alteration and the change to chaos the devs seem to be telling us they want us constantly searching for good bases. Not just getting one good base and using that over and over. Not saying I agree with their view but I think that’s what they are trying to move away from. I think it really makes picking up white bases a lot more important than in Poe 1. Once again love the content and am happy to say that this game is a gem. GGG killed it.
On chaos orbs: I once found a nice quarterstaff base with bad mods (3x added some elemental damage and bad suffix). I managed to reroll that bad prefix into life on hit (still bad, but passable) and fire damage into crit or something. Thanks to that I managed to open up suffix and exalted orb was kind enough to reward me with physical damage... So yeah, it has niche uses.
I love GGG so much. Literally everything I had an issue with is being changed for the better and we're not even a week into the launch. Now they just need to fix the bow's jump skills. Hate how melee mobs can hit me mid air while I'm leaping above them.
Thats the reason that the game is in Early Acces. Get Feedback from the Community and Improve the game. I dont undestand Why people Are instant mad because smth is Not good yet, its an early access. After 4 days the first good changes (exclude some important nerfes) are really good
@@JamesSmithTexas lets be real full price is usually 60 bucks and if you didnt want to get early access you didnt have to. its not like they lied to you and tricked you into buying early access.
Glad they change the boss drops. After fighting the act 1 boss for 3 hours and beating him. I got rewarded with 2 white pieces of gear and 1 transmutation orb. Biggest slap in the face.
Great patch the one thing I question is the chaos orb change. I like getting more exalted orbs but if chaos orbs aren’t valuable shouldn’t they drop more… Again if it’s exalted vs chaos I want exalted. But you kinda need to spam chaos to try and fix a bad item.
The chaos orb is one of the more useful orbs but I don't think I'd almost ever use one without Omens influencing which mod I'm trying to reroll. They're probably lowering their drop chance just to make it so that the rarity corresponds with it's usage as an "end game" currency
I think they heard you and they immediately sent some fixes immediately. You know that this is still an early access, it will be a whole new different game come full release; and this is your biggest opportunity to shape the game according to your taste. The POE 1 was shaped by people who were present in early access live testing their game and that's the result of their constant criticisms, recommendations and wild suggestions. This is your time now along with the millions who signed up for this live early access testing. Make it perfect in your own world. The developers in this game are great listeners and they absorb like sponges, you'll be pleased that changes don't take too long in this game.
seeing GGG fix these issues so quickly makes me really pissed off at the people who left negative steam reviews because of these issues. People need to get their heads checked and stop reviewing early access like a finished game.
But thats the point... They can only address issues when they are raised by the community - by rewiews, by posts on reddit, by yt videos - people most certainly should post reviews including negative ones if there are problems. Now that they addressed some of it reviews can be updated.
Exactly. They KNEW it was early access. Not only that, it’s a paid early access so there’s no way they don’t know. And still they treated it like it’s a completed game and talking about it like it’s a completed game. So annoying. A negative rating but with Constructive feedback is totally fine tho, but there’s some people who are like super toxic about it
on day one me and my friend both thought hey, i love how huge the zones are it really add magnitude to the game but i just wish i could tp to checkpoints and they did it!!!!! im so excited these are all great changes. im glad i have faith in ggg.
Seems like a real solid patch. First time player just made it to Act two. Really enjoying it apart from a few quirks but ggg seem to be on top of things. Def a quality dev team
They absolutely needed to do something about the drops. Hopefully this doesn't make the game any less difficult. I like the challenge especially for an ARPG
Thank you for the prompt PoE2 coverage, it's nice to get info from someone I like rather than some rando. Been a while since I played [current thing] with the rest of the world.
This is a great start, but of course they nerfed the one build that actually felt good to me (SRS Infernalist). Looking forward to more drop frequency and other tweaks to get the balancing in a better spot, because as of last night it was brutal. No mention of buffing coin drop rates, which kinda surprises me. Lugging blues constantly back to town to sell gets really old and breaks rhythm. I do, however, love GGG and have 100% confidence in them getting this right by January!
Playing thru some early zones twice i noticed pack size can vary so much, sometimes i had tiny packs sometimes near double or more the size of packs, ofc that changed the drops like crazy too.
I've played 2 characters to lvl 20, and one to lvl 12. I've only seen ONE chaos orb and I foolishly used it on some low level item since they told us that currency would be more common and to use them often. Now they've lowered the drop rate?!? Very puzzling. Same with artificer"s orbs, I've only got 3 of them and I salvage almost everything with sockets. Some of these changes are distressing.
W patch. Imagine there being a dev that listens to their players while still keeping their vision for the game and SWIFTLY making adjustments according to feedback.
As a warrior, I have found very little usable gear. Everything I have was vendor purchase or where I burned the only 2 regals found. I'm stuck in Act 2 farming for drops.
Good now for the next issue. I don't know if the community feel the same way. I feel that we should be allowed to have multiple of the same support gems.
Anyone else have a bug where they try to go back to act 3 after finishing the game so that you can use any quest items in your inventory but using town portal to town brings you back to act 1 beachside?? It happened to me three times and I'm just going to have to keep those quest items in my inventory now I guess...
I'm only lvl 8 and so far I like the difficulty compared to D4. Reminds me of D2 which is good. I have found a few rares and one legendary item so I haven't really felt I was missing out on decent items, but the ability to farm map bosses for rares is certainly nice. Great game so far. Not looking forward to the trials though as it sounds like I won't be able to complete them (personal skill issue). Will be interesting to see if they adjust the difficulty of those.
@ I was lucky to find a 96% spell power Lv 10 unique wand on my witch which has carried me to Lv 22 now so far. I’ve crafted a few decent upgrades too. That’s brutal tho hope you get a decent upgrade soon
@@Dirkei Gah damn. Yeah no the only good thing on my gear is the weapon and that one I put a regal on and 2 exalt and got somewhat lucky. But yeah it be rough. Can't do 2nd ascendancy yet either while being very overlevelled
The trial of strength is bugged for console, after failing you can't exit aside from restarting the game. If you try to click reset trial the ok and cancel buttons are inaccessible via the controller. Hope the devs fix it soon.
The dodge change sounds great. I get the intention but those hordes of small quick mofos will just trap you in seconds and you can do literally nothing. Glad they are addressing it.
I noticed the drop rate of seemed lower than I was expecting but i dont really mind that. I should say as a non poe 1 player, im having a great time taking my time going through the game. Impressive for EA
0:40 people were exploiting an act 1 boss that is next to the waypoint, because bosses had boosted currency drops they did 1-2 minute runs and farmed tons of gold selling the crappy low level items as well as decent currency.
1 rare per boss is actually huge. I'm not sure how I feel about 1 to 5 percent for gemcutter's prism, but if they're that rare, I guess it makes sense. I already found one and knew it's supposed to be lategame farming goals, so I presumed it'd just slowly drizzle in as you progressed.
It's good they're tweaking the drop rates. I gotta say despite liking the overall experience, drops have definitely been more "feels bad" than exciting experiences. I've gotten all blue drops from bosses several times and collected 3 uniques that I can't use so far. It's good that the orb drop changes will make it easier to make gear at least.
Very nice quality of life update, hope they keep this mentality and don't fo stuff to lessen the game's diffculty because some ppl are salty they can't zoom across the map killing everything by spamming one ability.
Looking great so far. The "unlucky drops" rate does make me worry a tad, just because it can be a slippery slope. Just so long as they don't get as bad as D3 did
One thing that really bugs me is the fact that if you decide to use controller on PC, you can't change unless you go back to the character screen, and everything except typing becomes completely disabled
So they heard some of the feedback with the drops and adjusted it. Kinda insane how quickly they got on top of it. That’s an encouraging sign.
It's GGG they've been doing this for years
@BloodlessTTV Many players are only now experiencing the great developer involvement that is standard at GGG. I love this studio.

Chaos Orbs are most often used with Omens to limit, for example, only the prefix or only the suffix can be changed in the next craft, this combination to start crafting an already rare item with 3 or 4 mods is very strong.
Last night killed Act 1 boss after MANY tries, and died at the last moment to one of those chaos spikes. I watched the hooded one dialogue, helpless at all the currency and unique drop on the ground I was supposed to get for my first kill. Had to respawn at checkpoint and the items are gone, of course. So. Thanks, game.
I'm at the end of act 2, killed every optional boss and rare pack on the way, not had a single unique item drop yet 😂
Same happend to me but in my trial. I had full bags so i tpd home. But it didnt let me return so lost alot of loot from the chests. Very annoying. I hope thats not intentional.
@@theevilmrfryi got my first in mid A2, i full clear all maps.
@@theevilmrfrydamn man that stinks I have three uniques on my character before the final boss of act 1. I got a unique rose quarter staff, a unique shield, and a unique helmet. I'm in act 2 Midway and I still haven't changed them out Just keep adding to him. I haven't seen anything new yet.
@@theevilmrfry im lvl 60+ haave like 12 uniques and they are all useless trash think best to look for rarers...
The issue is that players do not get that a larger gold pile is worth like 2-3 rares. On top of this, you are likely to NOT get an upgrade. So you would be selling those items anyway. Bosses always dropping at least 1 rare is big.
Love the checkpoint teleport change. Some of the biggest OOF moments I've had while playing have been town portaling when a map's nearly completed, get sidetracked for a couple minutes too long, now the portal's gone, the map's reset and have to do it all over again 😵 At least now you can teleport to a forward checkpoint and hopefully find what you need quickly again (remaining quest or exit somewhere near the other end).
If they convert Llama a full time D2 player to PoE2 you know they are doing something right 😂 the game is so good, glad they are listening and can't wait till the game fully releases. Going to be amazing!
Crazy how fast they heard feedback, evaluated, and acted. Great sign.
That semi open door is scary as hell, I keep looking at it waiting for something to come in.
Hope to see some more crash fixes soon. Still get seemingly random freeze/crash to desktop. That said, these fixes were needed most at the moment, so yay!
probably harware issues? are u running dx11, 12 or vulkan? what kind of gpu are u running etc? there's options for most things in there
I was on dx12 crashing every 30-45 minutes but switching to vulkan stopped all the crashes I was having instantly.
Amazing changes overall
I love how well GGG does. Out of all the games, early access, and or new realises I have been a part of recently; this has been the smoothest and quickest to make changes and has done a great job to not super nerf stuff and so forth. But great freaking job!
It’s staggering how passionate devs can make such a great product. Even with some issues, it’s so much fun.
I'm so happy rn...these changes are amazing!!
And whether you love the game or hate the game, can we all just take a moment to appreciate how these devs actually care and listen?? So refreshing in this modern day and age
So exciting! Really quick on the draw there, with some very precise adjustments. Can't wait to see this game one year from now.
It's refreshing having a Dev that listens to feedback
Was in Cemetery in ACT 1. opened 6 chests - 6 to 8 loot boxes and not even a gold coin.
Chests are nearly useless 😭
This was just the pick me up I needed. I went from hardly getting any orbs to actually bring able to craft stuff and not struggle anymore early game
I think with the more regals now, the chaos orb 1 stat change makes sense.. from magic to rare you have 3 affixes. If that regal potentially bricked your otherwise good magic item, you now have a chance to fix it at that point before going further. And if you're able to roll more rares, then you wouldn't need chaos to roll completely new mods anyway. I like the change.
i like that they're careful about drops outside the egregious state of gemcutters. it's as you say: up the drops by 10-20% and check again. if its still too little, go another 10-20%. better than a 200% blanket buff that can never be tuned down without a massive shitshow!
Man, they're literally addressing most major complaints within a few days. Phenomenal.
I guess it's like the old saying. "The squeaky dweeb gets the grease."
I love GGG. I love how active and transparent they are and you can really tell they care about the game and most of all the players. Bravo!
These are huge. And the fact it happened so quickly is amazing. Not even a week to adress it already. Im blown away.
I GLADLY bought the highest tier early access pack not for the content itself, but because I wanted to support GGG for this exact reason; they LISTEN to their base and adjust accordingly.
I will continue to do so as well in the future.
this is really good
well done GGG
I like how Ruthless-Like the game feels. I don't want that feeling changed. I want to have that "wow!" moment when dropping a rare item, even if for a different build.
Less items, more quality.
if they keep up the good work on this game its a serious contender on the best ARPG game of all time... D2LOD has been the best so far for me personally but this seems like a modern successor which is just as fun to play
TIL there were drop issues. I only noticed a concerning lack of socketed drops, so you can't salvage them to make your own sockets.
super nice change and im happy to see it, genuinely impressed with the care and attention this game is getting. GGG doing good so far
Rerolling a single modifier is much better. It would be cool of there was another item that let you reroll the value of s modifier.
So big fan of your content. Been watching your d2 videos for years and happy to see you with more Poe content.
So about chaos orbs in their current state. I actually think they are very insane in that they are now essentially an annulment orb and an exalt in a single currency. The second of why I think they changed it is that with no orbs of alteration and the change to chaos the devs seem to be telling us they want us constantly searching for good bases. Not just getting one good base and using that over and over. Not saying I agree with their view but I think that’s what they are trying to move away from. I think it really makes picking up white bases a lot more important than in Poe 1.
Once again love the content and am happy to say that this game is a gem. GGG killed it.
This is why I love GGG, they are quick and they listen to feedback.
I mean their goal after all is to make a game that they want to play themselves.
They made the game they wanted to play already. It's that nobody liked that game and wanted it to change.
Lol quick... If that is the standard you go by... I better have them doing it well so no adjustments are even needed to begin with.
On chaos orbs: I once found a nice quarterstaff base with bad mods (3x added some elemental damage and bad suffix). I managed to reroll that bad prefix into life on hit (still bad, but passable) and fire damage into crit or something. Thanks to that I managed to open up suffix and exalted orb was kind enough to reward me with physical damage... So yeah, it has niche uses.
I love GGG so much. Literally everything I had an issue with is being changed for the better and we're not even a week into the launch. Now they just need to fix the bow's jump skills. Hate how melee mobs can hit me mid air while I'm leaping above them.
over the past few days i've thought "damn it would be nice to teleport between checkpoints within the same zone." thanks, GGG!
Thats the reason that the game is in Early Acces. Get Feedback from the Community and Improve the game. I dont undestand Why people Are instant mad because smth is Not good yet, its an early access. After 4 days the first good changes (exclude some important nerfes) are really good
When you charge full price for it you don’t get to use that excuse anymore.
@ they Can because you Pay that you are able play the game before the full release comes out and you pay to Support the game, Not for a finished game.
@@JamesSmithTexas lets be real full price is usually 60 bucks and if you didnt want to get early access you didnt have to. its not like they lied to you and tricked you into buying early access.
@@JamesSmithTexasDude wtf, if ur not supporting, wait for release and its free then... Wanker
I hope they will remain in good will like in this patch, but I hope for god sakes change/improve honor system in trial, its just painful...
Here i am, level 53 and still no lesser jeweler's found. So 33% increased drop rate of 0 is still 0! xD
There are a few events that guarantee a drop of one during the act, gotta do optional bosses
Glad they change the boss drops. After fighting the act 1 boss for 3 hours and beating him. I got rewarded with 2 white pieces of gear and 1 transmutation orb. Biggest slap in the face.
Great patch the one thing I question is the chaos orb change. I like getting more exalted orbs but if chaos orbs aren’t valuable shouldn’t they drop more… Again if it’s exalted vs chaos I want exalted. But you kinda need to spam chaos to try and fix a bad item.
Lol, those checkpoint changes are nearly word for word what I commented on your other video about the oversized maps ^^
Awesome patch. Currency and crafting is great, but it's not the same feeling as getting a direct item drop
You’re right crafting feels better makes currency drops feel valuable and needed.
The chaos orb is one of the more useful orbs but I don't think I'd almost ever use one without Omens influencing which mod I'm trying to reroll. They're probably lowering their drop chance just to make it so that the rarity corresponds with it's usage as an "end game" currency
That dodge roll change is actually perfect
I think they heard you and they immediately sent some fixes immediately. You know that this is still an early access, it will be a whole new different game come full release; and this is your biggest opportunity to shape the game according to your taste.
The POE 1 was shaped by people who were present in early access live testing their game and that's the result of their constant criticisms, recommendations and wild suggestions. This is your time now along with the millions who signed up for this live early access testing. Make it perfect in your own world. The developers in this game are great listeners and they absorb like sponges, you'll be pleased that changes don't take too long in this game.
seeing GGG fix these issues so quickly makes me really pissed off at the people who left negative steam reviews because of these issues. People need to get their heads checked and stop reviewing early access like a finished game.
But thats the point... They can only address issues when they are raised by the community - by rewiews, by posts on reddit, by yt videos - people most certainly should post reviews including negative ones if there are problems. Now that they addressed some of it reviews can be updated.
Getting mad on behalf of a multibillion dollar Chinese company is a bit much. They’ll be ok buddy, will you?
That's the downside of an early steam release
Exactly. They KNEW it was early access. Not only that, it’s a paid early access so there’s no way they don’t know.
And still they treated it like it’s a completed game and talking about it like it’s a completed game. So annoying.
A negative rating but with Constructive feedback is totally fine tho, but there’s some people who are like super toxic about it
Hes will not be okay. 😅@@flankman9385
on day one me and my friend both thought hey, i love how huge the zones are it really add magnitude to the game but i just wish i could tp to checkpoints and they did it!!!!! im so excited these are all great changes. im glad i have faith in ggg.
Seems like a real solid patch. First time player just made it to
Act two. Really enjoying it apart from a few quirks but ggg seem to be on top of things. Def a quality dev team
They absolutely needed to do something about the drops. Hopefully this doesn't make the game any less difficult. I like the challenge especially for an ARPG
Just got to Act 3, great changes overall!
I'm looking forward to enjoying those increased drop rates!
The German Goo Girls are doing an incredible job! Wish more devs were 'Jonathan like!'
Thank you for the prompt PoE2 coverage, it's nice to get info from someone I like rather than some rando. Been a while since I played [current thing] with the rest of the world.
This is a great start, but of course they nerfed the one build that actually felt good to me (SRS Infernalist). Looking forward to more drop frequency and other tweaks to get the balancing in a better spot, because as of last night it was brutal. No mention of buffing coin drop rates, which kinda surprises me. Lugging blues constantly back to town to sell gets really old and breaks rhythm. I do, however, love GGG and have 100% confidence in them getting this right by January!
Playing thru some early zones twice i noticed pack size can vary so much, sometimes i had tiny packs sometimes near double or more the size of packs, ofc that changed the drops like crazy too.
I've played 2 characters to lvl 20, and one to lvl 12. I've only seen ONE chaos orb and I foolishly used it on some low level item since they told us that currency would be more common and to use them often. Now they've lowered the drop rate?!? Very puzzling.
Same with artificer"s orbs, I've only got 3 of them and I salvage almost everything with sockets. Some of these changes are distressing.
W patch. Imagine there being a dev that listens to their players while still keeping their vision for the game and SWIFTLY making adjustments according to feedback.
I bet they even watched your video from before (and other ytbers/streamers) to get information about things like this.
Great job GGG as always!
This will truly make this game so much better now so epic
Thank god the being traped is getting sorted. The rage from me and my friends on discord has been legendary 😂
As a warrior, I have found very little usable gear. Everything I have was vendor purchase or where I burned the only 2 regals found. I'm stuck in Act 2 farming for drops.
Is that why all of a sudden I feel I’m getting better gear drops from bosses and more currency from mobs
Of course it is.
Good now for the next issue. I don't know if the community feel the same way. I feel that we should be allowed to have multiple of the same support gems.
Anyone else have a bug where they try to go back to act 3 after finishing the game so that you can use any quest items in your inventory but using town portal to town brings you back to act 1 beachside?? It happened to me three times and I'm just going to have to keep those quest items in my inventory now I guess...
Chaos orbs are a endgame crafting currency, it's "wortless" now.
Good to see quick response from the devs... d4 closed beta any feedback was just ignored
Two friends and I killed the Act 1 boss co-op a couple days ago. Took us 11 attempts. We got 70 gold, 1 augmentation orb, and a pair of white boots.
I'm only lvl 8 and so far I like the difficulty compared to D4. Reminds me of D2 which is good. I have found a few rares and one legendary item so I haven't really felt I was missing out on decent items, but the ability to farm map bosses for rares is certainly nice. Great game so far. Not looking forward to the trials though as it sounds like I won't be able to complete them (personal skill issue). Will be interesting to see if they adjust the difficulty of those.
Honestly gearing hasn’t bothered me even tho it’s extremely limited. What bothers me is the auto target system, always attacking the wrong targets
I've had the exact opposite issue on my warrior. Not had a upgraded weapon in 18 levels now ish. Big strughle aauuuugh
@ I was lucky to find a 96% spell power Lv 10 unique wand on my witch which has carried me to Lv 22 now so far. I’ve crafted a few decent upgrades too. That’s brutal tho hope you get a decent upgrade soon
@@Dirkei Gah damn. Yeah no the only good thing on my gear is the weapon and that one I put a regal on and 2 exalt and got somewhat lucky. But yeah it be rough. Can't do 2nd ascendancy yet either while being very overlevelled
The trial of strength is bugged for console, after failing you can't exit aside from restarting the game. If you try to click reset trial the ok and cancel buttons are inaccessible via the controller. Hope the devs fix it soon.

The dodge change sounds great. I get the intention but those hordes of small quick mofos will just trap you in seconds and you can do literally nothing. Glad they are addressing it.
Act3 completed: 0 chaos orb, 8 exalted (left, I used some), 12 regal (left). I don’t understand how chaos were dropping too much
I noticed the drop rate of seemed lower than I was expecting but i dont really mind that. I should say as a non poe 1 player, im having a great time taking my time going through the game. Impressive for EA
0:40 people were exploiting an act 1 boss that is next to the waypoint, because bosses had boosted currency drops they did 1-2 minute runs and farmed tons of gold selling the crappy low level items as well as decent currency.
the benches were made out Titanium lol.
I did it for hours, lot of uniques, and useful early game items.
Love how GGG listens to players, game is awesome.
This Beetles in Keth got my sorrc dead like 20 times, getting stuck is really flustrating and for me this is the best change in this patch.
The pace they deliver is godly. GGG
1 rare per boss is actually huge.
I'm not sure how I feel about 1 to 5 percent for gemcutter's prism, but if they're that rare, I guess it makes sense. I already found one and knew it's supposed to be lategame farming goals, so I presumed it'd just slowly drizzle in as you progressed.
It's good they're tweaking the drop rates. I gotta say despite liking the overall experience, drops have definitely been more "feels bad" than exciting experiences. I've gotten all blue drops from bosses several times and collected 3 uniques that I can't use so far. It's good that the orb drop changes will make it easier to make gear at least.
Nice, all my issues addressed.
If i could make 1 change though, i wish they would being back alteration orbs
Very nice quality of life update, hope they keep this mentality and don't fo stuff to lessen the game's diffculty because some ppl are salty they can't zoom across the map killing everything by spamming one ability.
Wow... On the ball and good changes.
As a new player to this studio I'm liking thier management of the game gg ggg 🙂
Looking great so far. The "unlucky drops" rate does make me worry a tad, just because it can be a slippery slope. Just so long as they don't get as bad as D3 did
One thing that really bugs me is the fact that if you decide to use controller on PC, you can't change unless you go back to the character screen, and everything except typing becomes completely disabled
missing the links of the shown websites in your description ;)
This is early release. I'm surprised how so many are surprised they fixed issues quickly.
