I haven't actually watched it, but is still the old quantity/quality boost even on positive map mods? Because those downsides on PoE1 maps did come with an upside in that regard, they were purely negative.

From the brief look at rolling maps they showed Item quantity, pack size, and rarity as prefix modifiers that can roll independently of each other and are no longer tied to the negative suffixes. That means that you could *theoretically* have a 3 prefix only map roll that is all upside and no downside.

I haven't followed this that much. Did they dumb this down for the old pleebs like me?

They did dumb down the socket system and removed it from gear.

Every skill gem can now level up and get up to 5 support slots in the gem. So no more socket shuffling on the gear. They also try to make it more new player friendly so should be a lot of tooltips and guides within the game itself.

But at the end it will probably be as crazy as PoE 1 is. With over the top crafting and builds.

These supporter packs are pretty good.

I watched the video finally. This looks good, but I couldn't help but get a little less interested each new system/thing they went over. I realize PoE1 is that way because of years and years. It gives the impression of not being playable without guide sites again with piles of inscrutable systems that need to be combined, which makes me hesitate wanting to bother.

I think this will be GGG‘s Diablo II moment. Going to be a massive hit, and will be much more mainstream than POE like D2 was vs Diablo. I’m excited to jump in.

I expect it to be much more approachable for non Aspergers

It does look pretty fucking good. Looks a lot harder than POE1. But damn that Merc looks to be my jam. Auto, shotty, nades and snipes? Sign me the fuck up.

Mur · Nov 23, 2024

I had $40 in my steam wallet, so bought the early access pack. Really looking forward to this, as I haven't been playing any AARPG's since I removed all Blizz games from my systems. Only disappointment is no Templar/Pali/Crusader type at early launch, and the limited equipment slots. Being an MMORPG guy, I like lots of gear. /shrug Def. going to roll SSF, and likely SSF HC, but might try group play. edit. Oh yeah Warrior all the way at launch. LOL AARPG...is that like AARP for old gamers...

I think the folks arguing over some of the minutea and predicting this game won't do extremely well are both wrong and represent a minority of its future players.

The sweaty poopsock players who do map clears in seconds certainly exist, but there seems to be room to accommodate them in the sequal. Furthermore, A LOT of players don't want (or have the time) to replace their lives with PoE.

Making the game more palatable to a larger audience always comes with a cost but I don't think much ground was given up to make that happen, here

We're still a long way from release and working with incomplete information; so who knows.

Tanky warrior first run, lightning witch run #2, all those lightning spells look sexy as fuck, especially sparks new look.

I was feeling the same, except reversed. The shield gameplay looks amazing for bossing.

Saw Crowbell pet, couldn't stop thinking "needs more crowbell".

Yaamean · Nov 23, 2024

Yeah I'm going Warrior to end the LS spell I've been under with POE1. Looks slower initially but I like that the attacks have a huge impact. Will see, am sure I will make a few diff characters.

Kirun · Nov 23, 2024

Probably going 2H + Shield Warrior, straight GRIPPIN'.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, sounds dope as long as getting STR isnt bad needing double the stats. Badass if it plays out right!

Derkon · Nov 23, 2024

Going Mercenary first(which I'm sure will be the most popular class) then probably witch as I'm a minion cuck

Valderen · Nov 23, 2024

I got the pack with the moving hideout, that was just too cool for me to pass up on it. The biggest pack for the hideout with multiple island was tempting but a bit too expensive for my taste.

I am not sure what I’ll pick for first character as a lot of things look pretty cool, but I’m leaning either sorceress/chronomancer or witch/bloodmage.

Yaamean · Nov 24, 2024

Chronomancer is insane just for the fact it's pretty much something noone has ever really done before. Could be fun as shit!
