Hey everyone! It’s the creator here. I’d like to thank Asmongold for once again reacting to one of my videos. This is the second he’s done on stream, but it seems like he’s watched a few off stream as well. When he watched my first blow up video mid-May, he really helped motivate me and grow my channel. Since then, I’ve been putting out AT LEAST two videos a week I think are worthwhile watching and the response has been tremendous. Thank you to Asmon for watching and commenting, and huge thanks to all of you for your support. Plenty of people comment and say I should be upset as Asmon for reacting, I disagree, it’s helping me out massively as a small content creator looking to grow.

We were too busy looking for the secret cow level and never realized we were playing on the clown level all along.

Imagine if POE was coded like D4 and everytime you met someone you had to load their thousands of stashes from previous leagues :D

Fun Fact: There more cosmetic sets in the D4 store than bosses 😊

PoE has a 4-boobed demon.

As PoE veteran: it's fun but if you play it too much you need a few months or sometimes even years of pauses

If you just spend 10 minutes cleaning every day, you too can live in a pristine room.

I am a casual player overall and still loved POE. Took a lot of googling for random words or how something worked but overall I found it so freaking rewarding! I spent an entire season just learning heist and mapping alone and that's such a small piece to the game. Got the wife to Try it and just the fact of how versatile a character can be makes it fun. She did rolling magma with 5 orbs from multiple totems and she loved the screen clears. She played D4 for 3 days and played D3 daily for 3 years....

anybody who played pre season and reached 100 knows theres no point on reaching 100 again in season 1

D4 seems to be the best thing to ever happen to PoE. Without it a ton of players would never have heard of the more serious alternative called PoE.

Why dont bosses give you loot in diablo 4... thats the real question.

It turns out the Secret Cow Level was the players all along...

Have you ever seen the sun? I took that personally. I spat tea on myself 😂😂😂

Did you see that the original creators of Diablo will be guests in ExileCon 2?

i really only tried POE because every Diablo 4 vid i watched said POE was just a better version. they weren't lying. just the amount of personalization and customization you can do. how different you can build each character. its soo good. they give you the power fantasy and they just let you have it. they don't rein it in, they just let u run with it. its great!

I never heard on Path of Exile until everyone started talking about it since the D4 launch, I just saw a gameplay of Path of Exile and its literally Diablo 1-2 mechanics and I love it, the transparent map the inventory, this is how D4 should have been in the first place.

When fans make a better game then the company who inspired them... Gotta love it

One major problem even with the Renown they said we didn't have to farm - it didn't track if the progress was on a HC character who died, because you had to log into the character to get credit, and so I completed 4/5 regions on a HC character who later died and now I have to regrind it AGAIN if I wanted the credit, which has honestly been one of the biggest reasons I haven't been logging in.

4 of my friends play POE casually, so I don't think it's that bad. I haven't played it myself but they didn't seem to have any problems getting into the game as new players that mainly play fps games.

I'm a casual PoE player. I don't follow guides and I've reached T12 maps we exist lol

I usually just stand in front of diablo 4 bosses and spam my primary ability and then they are dead. Couldn’t tell you a single boss mechanic in D4 other than Uber Lilith

Blizzard: invents a wheel GGG: takes the wheel and builds whole bicycle Blizzard: tries to reinvent the wheel years later, now made out of better materials and more expensive, but it actually comes out as a worse functioning wheel somehow Blizzard apologists: GGG had ten years, you can't compare it, give blizzard some time!!! For all you mfs who do not understand what's wrong with the "but poe been out for ten years" logic. Feel free to read it until you finally get it.

I love how when some people hear something that doesn't match their own beliefs they immediately think its biased lol

D4 is the COD of ARPG

I don't even play Poe anymore but I still watch some crazy build videos from time to time, like the Wardless Wardloop from Jousis.

I said it before and it would have been cool. Echo of Inarius should have been a pinnacle boss, preferably between Elias and Lilith. It would have been cool and not just a boss reskin.

You don't sink 200 hours in PoE. You sink 4 or 6000.

I played PoE and I had two builds; one was a Sorcerer build with Goblins or Minions (can't remember what they were called) and I manged to have at least 8 of them out at one time dealing different types of elemental damage. My other build was a "whirlwind" build but I can't remember the class as it has been many years since I last played PoE. On my second build I got to Atlas level 6 and my build was getting strong. The bosses in PoE were badass and even in a big battle arena you could run out of space with the attacks the bosses dished out. Some of the bosses had trash mobs as part of their phases. I remember that when I dropped some great gear for my build at it's level, I felt that I had really deserved that reward after some of the battles were insane. D4 bosses imo are very under par compared to PoE bosses.

1:15 He looks like a Bizzaro version of Asmongold. (Shaved, ckesn room with hair)😮

When there were only 3 acts in PoE the final boss was the craziest thing ever. Then they kept adding more.

I think there should be some unique dungeons where you can fight some of the story line bosses post campaign. Like I would enjoy fighting both Andariel and Duriel again outside the campaign.

The most recent league was the first one I played up to the end game, had an absolute blast in it. PoE has so many ways to progress through levelling it almost feels like a roguelike in regards to which league mechanics you choose to engage with as you level and farm end game.

Pretty sure i ran like 20 dungeons today & 18 of them were the Tomb Lord boss lol

I'd argue PoE has a much smaller investment than Diablo 4, on account of it being a free to play game, at least in the literal sense.

You can still play PoE a lot and have a busy life too. Just stop buying garbage AAA games and spend your time with PoE or hell even Diablo 2, and you can still be serious. Any game you wanna be serious about can be played even with a busy work/life schedule.

ggg said about 12% of players get into mapping after the campaign. Thats more players than play after the campaign in d4, as the devs said that 95% have not even beaten the campaign.

I like POE a lot, though after about ~400 hours across several seasons, I'll admit I haven't really kept up with it. Interested in checking out POE 2, whenever that's released, though.

This channel is like that one buddy you're always glad for having 'cause he never lets you down.

I watched your videos and started playing Poe. Really enjoyed it. Doing maps tier 4-5

Idk why in D4 we couldn’t just fight more of the Act bosses that just hit harder… idk D4 just keeps missing the mark

I casual POE and it’s more fun from the get go. A random boss spawn from one of those totem jawns was more interesting than anything that happened in Diablo.

I would like them to expand on the idea around like mini boss randomly spawning on the player or a grief mechanic that lets you spawn a random boss on a player in your friends list and allow you attach a message to the spawn.

"Wheres the garbage?" 😂😂😂 No garbage = Wizard Build 😂😂😂

PoE has so many bosses I’ve played for years and still haven’t fought them all.

My favorite moment in D4 was using the uninstall function.

Poe build guides are still too conplex to a new player. Imo explaning the basics of how the passive tree works with stats in game will make them understand the system better.

That video reminds me of a ton of top down shooters! Ikaruga comes to mind! The mechanics are given and its up to the player finding the strategy! ❤❤❤

Maaan those bosses look scary. I've only gotten a little ways into POE - only a couple acts in. I've been addicted to HC mode since original D2 so I'm quite certain I'm gonna get killed a lot.

I thought the Lilith’s Lament fight at the end Act 1 was pretty cool. I thought the immunity bubble mechanic made the stakes of the fight seem higher than they actually were.

I actually think andariel was the only other interesting boss encounter. I also never used a maxroll guide for either poe or d4 and I do just fine

POE did look somewhat intimidating based on the build design. Honestly when i started Diablo IV i felt the same way until level 50 and then i was wanting more! I will be trying AOE2 for sure!

I don't know why there's nothing to do in the big colosseum area in D4. It would have been cool to see that used for spectacle fighting. Jump in and watch people compete in PVP or solo World bosses on a timer for some kind of leaderboard with a final world event that includes all players that are in the stands and have competed. There's a lot of cool design space for D4 to take advantage of and I just hope they do some things that push the envelope of what we expect from ARPG's because they haven't done that yet.

I had a lot of fun doing Elias in the lvl 70 capstone dungeon on lvl 59 penshot rouge seemed like a very well designed fight honestly. but yes rewards are abysmal.

I never feel overwhelmed with PoE when i go back to it. I simply get bored on my second play through of the story. That being said I think its probably the best of its style of game.

I honestly had a ton of fun trying to fight the world tier 3 and 4 capstone dungeon bosses with my own build while a bit underleveled (40 and 60). I'm hoping for more of that kind of content, but there isnt much of that in the game at the moment...

25:24 Follow a build guide, if you want to. But you can progress to the end of act 10 without one, but will probably hit a wall when you hit maps. Then you can try again with what you know, or follow a build guide, or even just look up how to use your favourite skill at the point you are at, you can in all likelihood adapt your build to theirs.

Hey, there were a couple stronghold bosses that were neat. Kind of. Remotely

very causal it takes me about a week to get through 1-10 acts on PoE still love it and try every season with a new stupid build i've thought about. with some idea crafting from guides.

he should have talked about the mob density

I tried PoE after D4, always heard its super complicated...... and for what I wanted out of it, it was hella easy. I never struggled super hard until getting to like tier 8-14 maps and dying to one shots and struggling to get EXP, I knew there were resources i could look up and all of that to have an easier time, but I was having a blast just doing blight maps and delve, making my own build and looking through the tree and just thinking of spell combinations. So even without having ANY knowledge and even looking into how to REALLY PLAY the game, I still sank 120 hours into playing a SINGLE character and build and could have played more, but after playing POE AND D4, was a bit burnt out on ARPGs XD

For newcomers to poe if you focus on like 2-3 league mechanics per league in a couple of leagues you will be mosly up to date. I mean there is no reason to do everyone of them, especially now when you can just remove them on the atlas. While i agree about the bosses in D4 i really liked the design of Elias and The Curator but you only face them once in the capstone dungeons sadly.

Side note, I love that in asmonds videos \ reactions he leaves in the ad reads from the person he's watching. Hopefully it helps the creators ad performance and gets them better deals on the future

Maybe we are seeing a bit of a similar situation with GGG and Larian. These studios are built around a specific genre game and do them really well. I do not know the specifics at Blizzard, but I'm willing to bet that in the name of profits, they have teams switching back and forth between genres all the time.

He's the Bizzaro Asmongold

After playing D4 for about 100+hrs, now I just wait for POE2.

With all my heart I wanna see Asmon do all the Poe Boss fights.

10:20 Shaper the first iconic pinnacle boss? Atziri would like a word. .... Or oldschool Merciless Dominus for that matter. 'Member when PoE only had 3 acts? Yeah. Those were the days. EDIT: 13:00 OK good. Good.

I love the switch from druid hate to bard hate 😂

I thought the following guides thing was a meme. Do most people really use guides for builds in ARPG's?

Vrising also had amazing bosses

As a player who started crucible league, I loosely followed Pohx RF Jugg guide. Choosing my own skill points based on what was best for me at the moment and doing that I was able to go beat 80% of the content.

I don't even remember what azaroth's attacks are I span to win and all he did was run away

It's still wild to me that I used to go to game dev conferences with the PoE guys before they released the game! Who knew they'd do so well!

solo world bosses is actually an interesting idea for pinnacle bosses even with reused content. "you see that thing that takes 12 people to beat? do it solo, and it has more mechanics that are focused on you." also when they announced world bosses, I expected like 10-20, or at least 5 or 6 that you can basically chain if you want, like one every 30 minutes to an hour.

I don't like the aesthetic of PoE at all tbh. I don't necessarily like the aesthetic of D4 either. Honestly I'd love a good ARPG in the style of Ragnarok Online (I already play Ragnarok Mobile but it hardly scratches the ARPG itch). Looking forward to Blue Protocol more than anything. I can overlook a lot if the character and world designs are visually pleasing/comfy.

Bro u kno new players for Poe just dnt want to have to turn on a whole other device in order to make sense of a game

it has been a few years since i played, but i might drop back into POE. i never got far into end game content (i just barely scratched the surface on the map system), but i genuinely enjoy coming up with new character builds due to how incredibly complex and expansive the skill trees, equipment, skill gems, etc. are. any time i started getting bored with the game i would create a new character based on some weird combination of skill gems or keystone passives.

D4 bosses and story=Is that it PoE bosses and story= When does it end?

Great reaction as always!

Sorry, my English isn't that good. POE is such an incredibly good game. The first time I completed the story in hardcore was so satisfying. I have no idea how many runs I needed before. 7 - 10 maybe. After that I took a break for months because I didn't want to lose the character. Came back, just wanted to level up a bit and died in 5 minutes. I love it !!!!

I hated PoE when it launched and haven’t touched it since, but after D4 I am thinking about trying it again

Anyone else watching asmon in diablo get the arpg itch and instead go play torchlight? lol

I felt the same way about Sirus, but I got REALLY good at that fight. I barely ever died after I figured it out.

I was really hoping diablo 4 would steal the progresssion and systems in PoE and expand upon it in their own way. But that blizzard doesnt exist anymore.

D4 would have been better with roaming world bosses instead of being set in the same spots on a timer.

"Because there's more than one of them..." Ouch!

I got to mapping. Was confused as to what to work toward. Quit twice and got 2 people around lvl 75. I’m still confused about Poe even though I spent over 300 hours on it. When the new league comes out I might try it again.

Decided to do my first playthrough of Poe recently , after dropping 300 hours into d4. I'm lvl 40 in poe , I come up with my own wicked necromancer build , and it's going AWESOME so far. So many skills it's amazing. But my question is..I'm lvl 40 , when will I finish the tutorial??? Lol

I quit Diablo 4 to play POE and I do not regret it. I had 200 hours in the game at the time, 400 now. Still haven’t beaten the campaign - I am in Act 7 I believe - but I haven’t tried because I have become addicted to Delves and Heists and getting items for my build via trading. I would be playing it more if I wasn’t working on the PC. Highly recommended.

After witch, one of my first POE chars wad a dual wielding blood magic rogue. Took a lot of planning to go across the skill tree, but it worked and was super fun. Until I got windowed and she died forever.

WT2 world bosses are super difficult. Lvl 35 avg. It took 12 of us 10min to kill the wandering death and ashva.

My only issue with PoE is that character building is extreamly difficult for new players. I used like several addons to try and mid max my character and I still got my ass kicked

Can't wait for PoE 2

First time I've fought Eater of Worlds, it dropped Ashes of the Stars. I knew it was extremely good item, but I have no idea how much it was. When I looked it up, I expected to be around 10 divines but not 30 divines. Til now it haven't got another one lol.

They give you 100 teirs of dungeons to fight through. How about a boss map every 10 levels to unlock the next 10 ?

Can't give special item or more bosses as it would be more stash items to load.

If you want to show off at world bosses asmon there should be a dps meter at the end of the fight.

What is the background hymn playing? I can't seem to identify it. Thanks in advance!

"have you ever seen the sun exile" i lol'd

I thought a good chunk of the stronghold bosses were really fun and challenging fights. Not all of them, but a lot of them. I liked the world bosses. I liked the duriel fight. I liked the Andariel fight.
