Hey, turns out Josh hated the presentation content as much as you guise.

Poor fanboys, being tagged as retards in real time by their beloved game designer.

 

[Hegel]

lol you can tell he'd never make it in another industry by the way he deflects responsibility.

There were bugs which I reported but "someone else" fucked up. I don't like the ones "that were shown".

As if the guy hasn't realized that he is the project leader.
This won't be popular, but Obsidian could gain benefit from hiring a bunch of MBA types.

Finally you say something I agree with.

 

[Havoc]

Literally.

So they admit by this picture Wizard, Cleric and Paladin are crap and this is the default party for the mainchar :D (Grieving Mother is kicked out by JES same way MCA was)
I guess Ranger buffs are coming in the expansion

The wizard was great to use, slicken, missiles, petrification and some other spells.

You just named 3 spells out of 100. Not that good after all

I gave three examples. There are plenty more. When I give examples, I don't intend to name half of the spells in the game.

That is a lame excuse. The truth is that most wizard spells suck, especially compared to what IE games had.

 

[Shevek]

There is an interview with Fergus Urqhart on Shacknews where he confirms that backers get both parts (don't have a link handy)

Only backers that dropped an extra 20 bucks for the xpac but ya.

 

[Shevek]

On PotD, I found many spells useful as I had to use varying spells depending on the weak resist of the enemy I was fighting.

They still suck compared to what some other classes can do or to what spellcasting looked like in IE games (both yours and enemy)

 

[Ziem]

in terms of effectiveness in combat wizard was pretty decent if you knew what you were doing
imo outclassed by cipher/druid but still okay
its just that hes fcking bland and boring

Spoiler

but then again so is the rest of the game

 

[Shevek]

Well, IE casting classes were over the top in the late game.
Two things
1. For the levels in question, PoE wizards are fine
2. A core design goal was to make non casters more active and relevant. So, of course PoE wizards wont feel like the lords of creation. So?

Also, I find the wizard to be pretty much indispensable and use one every play through.

 

[Space Satan]

PoI had few companions. I hope at last we'll have a rogue and a mnk front fighter - that feathered nigger was shit.

No and no. Even fucking Priest with so many useless Sawyered protection spells was better than Wizard with those OP Trap spells and some crazy combat buffs. Druid and Cipher both better and more useful. Only Chanter is crappy unless battles lasts long enough so you can summon 2 Ogres.

 

[Tigranes]

You are just shit at playing wizards if you thought POE wizards suck. That's got nothing to do with good game/bad game. Wizards can be very very powerful. They may not win the "most DPS when powergamed to death", but they are pretty easy to set up to be super powerful.

Edit: Chanters, by the way, are probably the easiest way to solo the game.

 

[Grape_You_In_the_Mouth]

Is it me or does the snow look awful? I recall Warcraft 2 having better snow

The stream was kinda crap quality.

Yes, because you know how I play...

 

[Akratus]

Well, the fanboy hype isn't quite as amazing either, so we'll all just have to be quietly disappointed in each others in a passive-aggressive way.

Well, the funny thing about PoE is that its haters have finished the game more times and like to talk about the game more than its fanboys.

So the more you play it, the more you hate it?

 

[MicoSelva]

IceWind Dale style expansion? Well, I guess I have bought it already so I might as well try it out when it gets released.

 

[Roguey]

Josh said on SA that it's neither a mega dungeon nor a mini-mega dungeon, so the only thing they have in common is snow and ice-themed creatures.

And the exciting premise of a level 1 adventure

 

[MicoSelva]

the only thing they have in common is snow and ice-themed creatures.

And maybe also being a linear dungeon crawl, intersected with short wilderness sections. This is my main concern (snow and ice are actually quite fine).
