Fun Fact: The developers have stated that they found during play testing, if they hid sections of the skill tree or shaded it with a fog of war; players were more likely to be frustrated. It made players feel the game was hiding something from them if they couldn't see the entire skill tree. Or worse yet, that because the total tree wasn't visible, players felt they might make a mistake since they were unable to "look ahead." Chris Wilson, head of GGG, said they also found the type of player who was likely to be overwhelmed by the skill tree upon first opening, was unlikely to stick with the game regardless. The main appeal of Path of Exile is granularity and complexity. Showing players the width of what was possible was more likely to keep players who were intrigued or fascinated by the game. You can see these interviews with Chris and Johnathan on Ziggy D and Josh Strife Hayes' channels, where this is discussed specifically.

@@xXGe0rgEXx There are also benefits for the passive tree being intimidating, because if a person is not willing to engage or does not enjoy this sort of mechanics and the amount of options, they get immediate feedback that this game is probably not really for them and thus the game does not spend their time by luring them in by appearing simpler than it is to only dump on them bazillion league mechanics, crafting etc later on which will make them quit. So any new player launching the game and playing for like 5 minutes can immediately recognize whether the game is suited for them.

Chris was asked in an interview about this being overwhelming and that fog of war would help, it was with josh strife hayes, chris responded saying that they didnt wanted to lie to the players, it would be hiding them what the game actuallly is going to be and that it would be unfair if they later found out how deep the rabbithole actually goes. He said that maybe more players would stay but they dont want those kind of players to begin with. This game is deep, your decisions will matter , your planning, knowledge, and understanding will be rewarded. And your lack of preparation will cause you to hit a brick wall forcing you to start all over again many times. Fog of war on a tree, would be cheating the player not telling them there is Eldritch battery, chaos innoculation, Vaal pact, Blood magic. This nodes completely break or make a build and hiding them from you would be unfair.

The passive tree in all its glory is what drew me to the game, and I would have felt stifled and lost if I couldn't see all the nodes in front of me to plan ahead; in fact, I very well might not have picked the game up. The tree already starts zoomed in on your starting location, and the tutorial tells you to just pick one of the two glowing passives to allocate. If the player then decides to grab the map and scroll or zoom out, that should be his/her perogative.

Just FYI, many of these QoL features have been added over time based on player feedback. The specific stash tabs, the affinities, the auto flask enchants, the atlas skill tree.. these all did not exist in the past and have been added to improve QoL based on player feedback. The dev team is really competent at listening and responding. Also there is/was a problem with content bloat - every season/league a new mechanic is introduced and often but not always, this is incorporated into the permanent game afterwards. This was good initially but these days there have been so many leagues, that there are so many different things that can spawn in maps and it feels bad if you want to ignore content that has spawned because it feels like you're giving up potential rewards. The solution has been the atlas tree, where you can pick and choose the content that you see, so that you can focus more on the content you enjoy and don't get overwhelmed with 50 different league mechanics. You can also outright block mechanics from spawning, in exchange for having the other mechanics spawn more frequently. You can also add variety, eg. focus on 2 or 3 mechanics on the atlas tree that you enjoy and suit your built this league, and then switch and try a few others next league. There have also been old league mechanics like prophecy which are culled and removed from the game if they're deemed to be not really relevant any more. They also removed daily master missions a while back because it was too grindy and people didn't like that it felt mandatory. The game is constantly evolving for the better - the 10 years of dev work really shows.

A few things that keep me coming back to this game: 1) The skill gem system. The near-infinite options for skills and how to modify them is endless fun. There's always a meta, but you can ignore that and play what you like. 2) Similar to the skill gems, just the build possibilities that come from unique items and things on the passive tree. In so many games, a unique item just has really good stats. There are very few unique items in PoE that are straightforward and better than rares (which makes rares valuable and worth crafting), but so many of them have some weird functionality that just gets the gears turning as to how you could use them to enable some insane build. I mean, Wardloop is an entire build meta that functions around some insane interactions between items that people theorycrafted. 3) The commitment of GGG to support the game and never do the sorts of predatory practices that ruin so many other games. I'm totally happy paying for supporter packs to get cool new cosmetics and more stash tabs to empower my hoarding, but I'm so glad I never feel like I have to pay money to empower my character or that other people have better characters because they paid more.

Every league you can complete challenges and earn permanent microtransactions that are exclusive to that league, but which will persist and be usable forever. They can never be obtained again or bought, and so it serves as a sort of trophy to show what you achieved that league. Over time you will accrue portal skins, armour sets, weapon effects, as a reward for playing the game. A lot of players will aim to complete a certain number of the challenges to consider their league "complete" before coming back next league.

I am playing ssf most of the time now ;) You have also each season challenges, they always give an exclusive set each season, everything will be in poe2 xD The cool stuff is when you have stuff that's like 5 years old, and there is stuff from way back, even I don't have ;)

The irony of POE being everything D4 was supposed to be, is that POE is so old that it was also everything D3 was supposed to be. It is the true spiritual successor to D2.

The crazy thing is that there are people who happily spent $1,000+ on this game… but feel like the D4 BattlePass is a ripoff. That’s what happens when you make a game that is actually great.

Hello, i am rly glad u like PoE its best arpg out there at the moment for sure. To the confusion about the waypoints, i understand it can be missleading, but the paths map shows dont interact with waypoints, but with entrance to the location. So for example if u enter new location and on the map the location you want to go to is top right, you should stick to right side of map and you will 100% arive to desired location as first, it works same in Aspirant trials (ascendacy labirint) Good luck and stay sane exile

Hope you stick with the end game, it's the best part of what makes PoE, PoE. The Atlas screen shows you the maps you have completed. You work your way up from the starting four Tier 1 maps and work up to T16. Along the way you'll also fight end game bosses and various cosmic horrors that try to control the atlas of worlds "maps" for their own power. The maven story line is pretty interesting IMO, especially the way it's delivered in bite size pieces as you work through the 100+ maps in the end game.

One big difference about the mentality of the dev team is for example compared to Lost Ark, they said they didn't want to reduce the amount of things you have to do weekly because the players will play less, but GGG said they already know most players will not play the entire season, or they may want to try other games or whatever, so the design of the game is focused on that, to allow you to grow stronger fast so you can either min max your build, test other builds or try another game until the next season start. I didn't play more than a week on the last league when it was already ending, and still could beat most of the end game bosses with a build that i made in like i said, less than a week, also the ability to completely ignore mechanics that are not fun to you and just focus on what it is fun to you and still make profit is one of the best things about the game, some people love heist, some love delirium, some love delve, and they can pretty much ignore the rest of the games and don't interact with anything non related with the mechanic they enjoy, Blizzard and other companies have a lot to learn from GGG.

PoE is a beast of a game. I don't get into the Atlas, but there's a whole story in there with its own unique bosses. For me the campaign is more than enough to have fun, but there's so many options after it, and so many builds you can try when you restart a season that's impossible not to recommend.

I recently got into it somewhat. I've been digging it. Love the customization. There's freedom in your build..just not sure how yet I'm gonna do mine. I'm playing templar..diablo needs a holy class. Maybe cleric with some melee ability, but can use ranged holy damage and can heal/support maybe even buff also. One thing I'd like in POE is modifying the characters appearance at creation, instead of the same models.
@Bobblybook Жыл бұрын
This is true, to be fair you can play a summon holy relic build, or divine ire, but nothing that exactly fits that archetype. I remember the devs being asked about the lack of character customisation and gender selection, and I think they mentioned the sheer amount of extra models and animations that would be required and they just didn't have the manpower available to do that sort of additions at the time. I don't know if it's planned for the future, I'm sure it's something they would add if they could fit it in.. but it would be nice.

So the only benefit of the doubt that I give to D4 is the fact that PoE has had a decade of additional feedback and development time to add content and refine the game to the community. I personally think that D4 has the capacity to be an enjoyable game given a year or two first. At this point in my life I'm not interested in staying in a single camp, I just want more games to be good so that when I get bored of one season of content I can just hop to the next game and keep blasting and getting loot. Thanks for the video, glad you're enjoying PoE!

I played this game since the first year it released and it's the only game I ever experienced a need to give them money. I bought multiple supporter packs only cheap ones cause im broke but I always felt like it was something deserved. I've been playing video games for 30 years and I can tell you that the developers of this game really love what they do and care a shit ton about the people who play the game. This new league came out and they patched the game like 4 times alreadsy trying to fix performance and small things to make the new league more fun for people based on feedback they've had. It honestly reminds me of Odschool Runescape and that games dev community relationship is rock solid also.

The only actual issue in POE in my opinion is gem sockets and gem colours and links. It makes it really hard to actually change your items in the late game as if you happen to have a 5/6 link and you find an item that you like, most likely it won't be the same colours, maybe not enough sockets, maybe no links. And the crafting its cool and whatever but many times in my playthroughs I will be out of currency in the middle of crafting something and it feels dire to have the item you want to equip and miss actual currency to finish it up. POE2 fixes that , so I will play then.
