I've been playing too much Hades 2, I guess I just like X/A more!

Also objectively the best button for dodge would be left or right bumper. Assuming you don’t play claw or hold your controller like a freak of nature, the bumpers are the only buttons with no delay you don’t have to move a finger to hit, smh.

​@@subtractemit was weird hearing you say that while I was playing elden ring 😅

Space bar is the correct button for roll

GOT 'EM!

😂😂😂

Bell of the End of Doom

Same here and it was the best experience i had. Since a couple of months ago i decided to never follow a build guide again, im doing everything blind now and that makes the game 10 times better. I don't give AF if the build dont perform as well.

@@RhebelGaming I think that's fine to do once you have a few builds via following a guide under your belt. I wouldn't recommend a new player to PoE1 do every build blind. First one ever is fine since you're learning the base mechanics of the game, but I'd recommend following a guide for the next few leagues so you learn more advanced and powerful synergies of gear/skills (or use PoB), and then go back to doing your own builds from there.

Yes

Only down side I think we'll be waiting another 18 months for 1.0. I'm hoping to get invited to the beta as I've spent some money over the years on MTX's, but haven't gone through and added it up to see if I meet the requirements yet.

I'm pretty sure I heard it's not seamless yet, but they plan to have it so

I hope so. That what I do in D4.

@@mrbuIIets Not atm but they are adding it

Both are available, though imo qerft for skills is very usable, and being able to move backwards while attacking is extremely good.

Swedish so a little close!

@@subtractem ah! Nice. :)

40 isn't as old as people think!

This dude is 40? nah

42 soon actually

Yeah it's a weird feeling. I suspect it'll be one of the first things they change from the feedback.

Early access November

@@truuuupR Thanks

??

Correct

Open beta end of the year (like November/December)

Yea circle has alway been dogde

I guess I conflate dodge/dash/run a lot of the time. You're right, I probably end up rebinding it there as well, I'm so used to spamming X/A for dash in Hades that it's the default to me.

Only if they could be turned off. Maybe a better solution would be to have a bestiary like "training area" where you can test skills and such without penalty for dying, and in that arena you'd see damage numbers to help you gauge how effective something you're trying out is. I wouldn't want damage numbers to be the default during normal gameplay.

@@1_underthesun It does have them

18:29 timestamp

That's not a keystone btw, it's just a notable that is selected.

@@satibel Lol thanks sorry missed the timestamp, that is a pretty good notable.

At least in the early acts it was very easy. Was only 300 gold per passive point and I had 10k gold in act 2.

@@subtractem Glad to hear that its possible at all.

He meant for the play test. The passive skill tree is still massive and you can go anywhere on it and swap skills on the fly by changing weapons. Sounds pretty complex to me.

😂

I feel like that's the whole point of poe 2 having more impactful and slow fights that feel more meaningful and has they already announced poe 1 and 2 are two different games with their own leagues

Look on the bright side, even if that is the case you will just be able to go back to playing PoE1.

@@jinxabuser4926 Can't wait to have do redo all of these "more impactful and slow fights" every league, even when I've got the entire fight down to the point of not getting hit at all.

PoE1 didn't have that at launch though either. For many of us, it didn't reach its addictive quality until there was so much content it was impossible to do it all in one league....or even to master all of it. The game will be far more basic at launch than PoE1 is right now, but it has to be else no new players would start playing. I'm already wondering how many will nope the f out when they see it has not only a similar skill tree to the first game, but that you can also now spend some points twice (one for each of your 2 weapons). Then you have there being a 3rd gem type.... Sure, some things were "toned down", like the very game-i-fied color system for gems, but they've seemed to add mechanics in turn. My guess is, the builds and mechanics will be robust on launch...close to PoE2, but the content, especially at end game, might take a few years to suit your taste. I guess it depends on how many core mechanics that came from previous leagues of PoE1 they carry over and how many (if any) new "league" style mechanics they include at launch. Just like PoE1, I expect PoE2 will look VERY different 5 years from now than it will at launch.

You're right. Hades default is the way then!

That came after they introduced WASD controls first on PC. I wouldn't be worried, I think it overall is a push for quality of life in controls more than anything!

likely isn't, but might have an absolute banger of a tutorial

It won't be as bad as PoE1 is right now (at least not at launch), but it'll DEFINITELY have more too it than D4. Honestly, it would be impossible not to have more to it than D4 as I've played almost every ARPG ever made and D4 is by far the most basic. If nothing else, the skill tree is going to be very similar to PoE1, and that's when a lot of players nope the f out. My recommendation would be to play a league or two of PoE1 by following a build guide (I recommend toxic rain totem or Righteous Fire...Toxic Rain Totem because it looks to play very similar to the poison archer in this video, and Righteous Fire because it teaches you very specific things about resistances and life regen and is also very tanky), and once you have that under your belt, PoE2 shouldn't be a problem by comparison.

@@1_underthesun if i have to follow a guide i aint playing, seems 99% of poe1 players seem to do

It’s free….

This is from a live stream, it was an active conversation with the viewers. The following video is unedited gameplay.

If combat is good then you want damage sponges. It makes pulling off combos that result in high damage a lot of fun.

What? No. The act bosses in POE1 already have plenty of hp for that. And most players in POE lament GGG's push for multi button combos just to do viable damage, and a slow plodding campaign.

@@eshannumin They're making poe 2 so that they could make it more of an action game. That's why there is a dodge roll. The "multi skill damage" is the same idea,plus it makes it fun to play with friends and gives utility to status effects. Looks amazing to me. So do you want gameplay that is single skill oriented where you specialize in one skill and then your whole build revolves around making that skill stronger? There's nothing wrong with that, it's just exactly what every other arpg has done since diablo 1.

On the same token, I don't have any problem with people enjoying it, but there is a reason they all did that and that every creator gives a "disclaimer" before introducing a "two button build". I think you'd be hard pressed to find a large group of people saying they want the campaign to be longer. Almost every person I know and everyone I watch says the said the same thing as the devs talked about the vision for POE2. No, stop, don't try to make the campaign this long drawn out "engaging" thing. Make it skippable.
