This looks great, now I just need friends who play.

Why? Play solo like a man.

I have done so for many years, I have played in PoE with in someone only until Act 2 many years ago. Couch coop could have use if you want to introduce gf (or wife) to PoE2, otherwise I don't see much use. Inviting women into hobbies wiill just ruin them, so better not.

This kinda good interview. WTF

 

[Baron Dupek]

I saw other recent one with Pastarmon or whatever and guy was p. ballistic huh
nice change for once

I've literally never played a caster in my life but this might be my first. Every class looks so good. They've even managed to make Barbarian interesting.

 

[lukaszek]

i like those charged spells while walking

did i saw it right? If you lose all your skeleton minions at once, after 4s all of them will be resummoned at once?

 

[ArchAngel]

That was pretty cool. Still playing Druid shapeshifter first :D

most minions re-revive quickly if no other minion is dead "recently" So yeah, if you lose all, they'll revive all together. Only zombies need re-summon it seems.

 

[Reinhardt]

kitava, is that you?

curious about that one. Always wanted to do a build where summons would be just a meat shields while my necro is playing melee or whatever, but the limitation I found was that during boss fights your minions are just gone unless you actively support them.
There was also this fiasco of doing dark pact with skellies and have them die too quickly late game.

Perhaps in poe2 it will be viable as a lot of tedious management will be gone?
I wonder if I can summon 10 skelly healers to heal myself while im doing RF stuff

 

[Cyberarmy]

Micro managing most summons seems gone, even spectres seem to revive after a few secs. Just like elementalists golems.

 

[ArchAngel]

Animations and combat is whole league ahead of D4 and LE and needed simplifications (removing gem slots from items, removing colors from gem slots and others) are just what PoE2 needed to keep being The ARPG and something I and millions others will be playing for next 10 years (until all the bloat again makes it unfun).

 

[luj1]

kitava, is that you?

Giant bosses are so cringe

D2 had none of that and its still the best

should probably blame Souls games

 

[luj1]

movement of summons seem janky

its crazy D2 sprites still have better animations than anything in this sphere

 

[Peachcurl]

I wonder how all that works with exploding minions, i.e., whether you can speed up the resummoning, or whether this implies that exploding minions will only be feasible with those that are not resummoned.

 

[abija]

They're leaning too much into keyboard movement and it looks akward during gameplay...

At this point you can market a new ARPG like it's PoE minus AOE slam and phased boss fights.

 

[ADL]

Very surface level overview of the game's recent changes for the average joe. Nothing new for anyone that follows it but the gameplay looks great.

 

[CountNemo]

You need to understand PoE1 is proven and a money printer, whereas if they cajole the soulslop crowd that's fickle at best and won't stick around (bc. consoom other soulslop ) . It makes sense they want to double dip and if it only has a campaign yet that's necessarily slow.

what is wrong with souls games? are you too smart for them? too cool?

"soulslop"

faggot

 

[frajaq]

I really really want to play Mercenary with all the ranged options since the devs seem really into WASD + soulslike gameplay

 

[Baron Tahn]

This looks great, now I just need friends who play.

I'll give ya a game, but it's gonna have to wait till I fkn move house and sort out a bunch of internet shit. Real life sucks ass!

It looks cool for five seconds but whether it will actually be good to play is another question. Those overly reactive animations tend to wear thin when you play for lots of hours, even in the preview videos I am getting a bit of a whiff of that.
