xbox games showcase is on june 9th. i think we will see it there. poe2 was originally going to be shown at a previous xbox showcase, but they cancelled their appearance after deciding to delay the game.

to me, "soulslike" evokes a very particular image. circle strafing around a single enemy, baiting their attack, rolling forward and punishing them while they're recovering, and then disengaging when running out of stamina to repeat the cycle.

i guess it will be more soulslike than what poe1 is, but i don't like attributing a lot of these changes to dark souls in particular. no rest for the wicked is a game that makes me think "wow they are really aping dark souls", i don't feel that for poe2

aside from enemies respawning on death, the changes they're making remind me more of diablo 2 than anything else

i keep seeing comments like this but i don't really get it. looks nothing like dark souls to me

the goal is to slow down the top end while keeping the feel of progression. if you can actually feel your character getting faster and more powerful over time then i don't think it will matter that much

also, i watched alkaizer's playthrough and he had multiple alchs and chaos by act 2. not like ruthless at all

transfigured sweep 99% play rate poeninja it's a #SweepSweep

the ice shot in this teaser is much improved over the early version they showed at exilecon

shift legendary powers to the skill tree. skill points give a feeling of permanence and baseline power. tying character identity to legendary effects makes your character feel empty. items should amplify their identity not define it

reduce the amount of rares that drop - when a rare drops it should be exciting

make items appropriately flavorful. in diablo 2, weapons have affixes that modify the item locally; enhanced damage, flat damage, attack speed - all increase the power of the weapon, not your character. if i'm playing a melee class, what i want is a big weapon that hits hard. that's part of the fantasy. every weapon type in d4 having the same damage values at max rank is boring, and makes it hard to determine the item's power at a glance. (granular item levels is an entire other rant)

the same goes for spell casters. i don't want attack damage on a staff (unless i'm doing some kind of melee staff build), i want to scale my power in a way that is thematically resonant. skill levels, reduced enemy resistance, increased elemental damage etc... (some of this already exists in d4 but it's diluted by other axes of scaling)

affix bloat - already been talked to death about. remove redundant affixes and add affixes that actually modify how your character plays. amulets are a good example. cooldown reduction, reduced resource cost, movement speed, etc... give meaningful gameplay changes and are exciting to see.

loot distribution rate for uniques - tying all powerful uniques to an endgame uber cycle just funnels players into a single activity. uber uniques need their drop rates increased drastically. there should be a feeling that an incredibly rare and powerful item can drop at any moment no matter what you're doing.

dreamsettler, sequel to hypnospace outlaw. you play as an internet detective in an alternate reality where you connect to the internet in your sleep.

if they go the route of only allowing an item to be mirrored once, i think it would be cool if mirroring an item turned it into a unique. maybe even name the item after the player who mirrors it

no, i've played thousands of hours of poe and am looking forward to trying something new from ggg. i like most things i've seen of poe 2 so far

warrior = maces

duelist = swords

marauder = axes

the characters' gear looked pretty similar to ruthless gear for that level, which is what i expect for poe 2. i don't think they're gimped, it's just what the game is like.

it looks really fun to me tho

"In the livestream you'll learn all about the new challenge league and other content of the expansion. As usual, after the livestream, Chris Wilson will answer your burning questions live in a Q&A session with ZiggyD, also joined this time by Jonathan Rogers and Mark Roberts."

from the youtube description

it should turn the item into a unique and add the player's name to it. kind of like the anya quest from d2

it looks like wasd to me just based off of the angles he moves at

2:38, there's a mob that picks up barrels in the environment and throws them at the player

theyre referring to this
