Amazing, more of this content please!

I wish GGG would highlight their development team!!! Seeing y'all make this, I can't imagine the amount of work that must going into actual game UI for poe2. It really is a fine balance between art direction and design. 🤘

This was ana absolutely dream conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed myself and would do it all again :) great designs!

Watched the full vod. So nice to have an edited vod to rewatch it again! I would love to see u guys redesign the in game UI.

Memory unlocked. My friend and I were playing hardcore when Dominus was first released as the new final boss. It was a spooky fight to walk into for the first time but when we made it to phase two and it started raining blood, our health was going down and we didn't understand why, we were screaming in panic. We realized it had to be the blood rain and that we needed to go into the protection bubble. We made it right before we died, life flasks barely staving off the degen, but now are locked in the thunderdome with Dominus Ascended so the screaming didn't stop. Amazing experience.

As much as i like the codex of monsters, PoE has this called archnemesis modifiers that only matters what monster does. What i trying to say is, currently there is zero monster identity other than who explode after death and who not. So this will only be flavor/bloat, unless PoE2 can really tune the modifiers down.

left align vs center align is more about where the vital information about the stat lines up. I think the bigger issue with D3 was that the order of stats was always mixed up, so you could have hp as the first or last stat depending on how it was rolled? In the D2 example the words faster, damage, rating, lightning all line up pretty well. due to the way the affixes are structured it's very easy to keep the main descriptor aligned in the center. D3 has the values to the left, then the descriptor misaligned for each line. It would be much better like this if you want a left-align setup. Maximum Life +100 Maximum Armour added +500 increased Armour 100% Also worth considering the feeling of blank space. It's much more apparent how much 'wasted' space there is when things are aligned left or right. Skill descriptions are a different issue. But makingit left align would mean they need a seperate display logic than for items. Which means deciding if it's worth the dev time. TL;DR As long as the information is able to be quickly parsed in the end it doesn't matter. D3 is a great example of how to do this badly, especially the second screenshot showing some mods starting with numbers first and some mods starting with words first. The ring example shows how bad this is with the current affix wording. all the way to the right to read phys attack and the allll the way to the left to read strength. with centered method they would line up perfectly just like on the original mana and rarity are lining up perfectly. I'm 50/50 about separating the hybrids. Especially for spell related stuff. Mainly thinking about newer players which aren't looking at items as something to craft on, but looking at them first as what they are. How does it compare as-is? Ok let's craft. But at the same time how/when does a new player learn that they can hold alt to see details? Hmmm, if their skill gems are just reusing the icons for the skills themselves it could be done in-engine. In the last con their engine designer was showing off several systems that would use layering of textures/images. Doing it this way would make it really easy to make updates to the iconography without needing to redo everything. Monster codex first impressions. Silver's looks like a mobile game... Is this a limitation of the design tool being used because so many things just look the same 'mobile' feel and I don't know why. I don't like it. It immediately makes me feel like it's hiding an insidious system. LOVE Penguin's. Feels like something that someone was writing as they were going. Shows the world. The rounded corners aren't too rounded. Gives a nice MTG feel. Can easily be placed in a ui which takes up the whole screen (hate those kinds of UI) or floating separately. Very much follows the idea of 'less is more' Don't turn this into pokemon shiny hunting... Especially don't implement IV systems. I like the chest idea to see drops available, but also not sure if you should show what they are without the player having found one themselves. Leave the details to the wiki and tell the player that there's something special. That seems to be GGG's ideal atm. Where are the gem tags? Seeing the skills being used would be interesting, but at the same time you've fought and killed them many times already. Penguin's is interesting because you end up learning that the attack does something special, helps with the 'oh what killed me??' Steam beta has a recording feature. The issue with video death recap is that it's hard to see what happened visually in some cases. So a text output is superior for the game as-is. Really like yours as well Mako. Fits the style, is well contained, delivers all the info needed. Not a fan of needing to farm exp for all of these things. there's enough other things to level up etc.

As someone who never played POE1 this was like an entirely new language to me, but I'm still excited for POE2.

Fantastic guys, really enjoyed this!

I'm 24 mins in and this is AMAZING!

yes yes veri gud sir subbed

Great vod! I think Makos was the best in terms of achiveablity in game. Fire one was the best concept but seems kinda hard to implement and also doesn't create a cohesieve system with those random placements of illustrations in skills for example and also a very vertical illustration that maybe wouldn't fit all creatures. Sylvers was the most fresh looking for POE and would target those hardcore fans that already played for many hours and are looking for some new progression systems.. Overall great job everyone you got a new sub!

I can't wait dood!!! I may start streaming when this game comes out. Nonetheless, it's gonna be fun.

How about indicating corrupted with a garnled border?

@pathofexile can you hire this guys and make a codex already :)

The Skill Tooltip reworks look much better lol

pls no :D, regarding the preffixes just add 2 dots next to each other so we know it's 2 summed, hold alt to check tiers etc. Site also shows if the item has 2/3 preffixes

generative art on items would be a game changer, maybe even filters on skills as such and be played as a caster would with each possible iteration

I watch the last part and I have to say. Mako design for me is way simpler and better. But I can see a full version like FirePenguinMaster in the game if you want a more complex and have everything in it. For Sylver I think the copncept is good if you want to make it a challenge to find every pokemon. But lets be honest... Do you want to go back in story mode juste to kill a mob you didn't find just to finish a challenge? Probably not.

is this reupload?
