Should i wait for release to create new character? long time not playing this game, trying to understand if this is like a new season where everyone is starting from scratch or no
Actually the date is the fault of kripparian. Back in the day he told Chris that he scheduled when he went live , how long and everything else and people enjoyed knowing when to prepare. So that's why we got the same 3 or now 4 month cycle with the same steps and procedure every damn time😅😅 😅😅😅
Would I be able to play this soon if I just got into PoE ? Cause I dont want to do the beach and all that campaign stuff, but I guess this is gonna be after the campaign is done.
The settlement stuff will open up very early in act 1, but it probably won't fully develop until maps since the gold costs will be balanced around endgame play. You will need to play through the campaign to really engage with the league - same as everyone does every league.
I always find this weird because I've done the campaign probably 100s of times and still find it a fun and cozy experience. On the other hand PoE campaign is an oddity in that sense as Last Epoch campaign for example feels like torture for me.
And even though they're adding all this, it is still 100% not required to beat the game. It is just one big albeit alluring side activity among many others you can interact with
being committed to your character is not a bad thing. If you can just change at any point you aren't actually building anything. Your just renting an apartment and moving furniture around. Fuck that. I'd rather build a crappy house that was mine than not own any decision.
19:46 thats because in poe theres this dogshit naming system where 2 players CANT have the same name . that is ridiculous . just do the hiden # with numbers behind the name for fucks sake
This looks really cool but the combat turns me off too much. I think ill wait for poe 2 which looks a bit more tuned down and slower. In poe 1 the whole screen is just full of spell effects and mobs
Yeah, they have had a skill tree planner on the website since the beginning way before PoB was a thing. I don't think Preach understands that they want you to plan your build out before hand. I would argue that building your character before hand in PoB makes you even more committed to your character, so I don't really get Preach's point when he says PoB compromises that idea. They have been very clear that the respec points are intended for small adjustments to your character and not full respecs.
