Cast-On-Headshot or is it that one build with the jewel that makes all hollow point rounds also armor piercing.

[–]TommaClockmathilDirtyWeeb 54 points55 points  (3 children)

Armor piercing rounds! Incendiary rounds! Permafrost rounds!

[–]H4xolotlHEIST 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Cast on Voiceline support when?

Now you got me all perky.

[–]HerroPhish 130 points131 points  (49 children)

Is that a gun

[–]dtm85 173 points174 points  (4 children)

He didn't say "armor piercing tommy gun" so it's a bit difficult to know for sure.

[–]JarRa_helloLOGIN 21 points22 points  (3 children)

What do you need protection from, ze germans?

No sugar Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

[–]Synchrotr0nChieftain 96 points97 points  (34 children)

Sounds like a gun, shoots like a gun... But just call it a crossbow and it's suddenly not a gun. LOL

It would feel fine for me if they made it sound more crowsbow-y despite the fast firing.

[–]NormalBohne26 25 points26 points  (17 children)

that was def. a gun at the start, he switched back to crossbow after the first few shots-
also makes sense- since heist we have high tech

[–]Yorunokage 10 points11 points  (15 children)

We're also like a lot of years after PoE1

[–]BaronEsq 8 points9 points  (14 children)

Literally 20. This isn't like 300 years later.

[–]load231 35 points36 points  (10 children)

I'm pretty sure he is switching to an actual gun at 10 sec and then back to the crossbow at 13

[–]robodrew 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Definitely, you can see the gun on his back at the start and when he's firing the gun, the crossbow goes onto his back instead

[–]Damian_Killard 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Yeah holy shit I had to rewatch but that is definitely some kind of gun on his back that he switches too.

[–]Synchrotr0nChieftain 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Yeah, I saw the gun now, but the fast-firing skill is still coming from the crossbow and it sounds like a gun.

[–]yeetLeaf 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I am 90% sure it looks like a crossbow because it’s doesn’t have a real model yet. look how the bullets come out, it doesn’t look right. I think the crossbow is a placeholder

[–]Yorunokage 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Would be weird to reveal a placeholder and also put it into a teaser

I'm guessing that the shotgun blast thing is an actual gun as it appears to be but the repeating shots are from a repeating crossbow

[–]yeetLeaf 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I agree about it being weird for a teaser. But the shits coming out of the “crossbow” just looked wrong for some reason, guess time will tell tho

[–]CyberSosis 18 points19 points  (2 children)

[–]Blinka28 18 points19 points  (4 children)

I'm confused, it sounds like a gun but it just looks like a crossbow

[–]Toast-Doctor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The shotgun blast looks like it comes from some sort of gun. I don't see any sort of crossbow limbs on it. Maybe a blunderbuss weapon type? Or its just some advanced crossbow with an internal string.

[–]Grendizer_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it is a crossbow. I hate guns on a dark arpg.

[–]EnergyNonexistantDeadeye 140 points141 points  (96 children)

SHOOTING WHILE WALKING?!?!?!?

WASD CONTROLS?

FUCK YES??

Aww man, I hope PoE 1 gets that at least.

[–]Vesuvius079 127 points128 points  (26 children)

More likely it’s a channeling skill with a backpedal animation.

[–]EnergyNonexistantDeadeye 46 points47 points  (11 children)

aww... I wish I could unread what you just said.... 'cos I think you're right...

[–]Clsco 30 points31 points  (5 children)

Well channeling skills would instantly be fixed by being able to move. So def a good thing

[–]Synchrotr0nChieftain 4 points5 points  (3 children)

I doubt they will add the same feature to most channeling skills. We already know the Warrior doesn't have it with the Supercharged Slam and I bet that the channeling will be exclusive to some of the skills themed around the Mercenary class.

[–]Not_A_RioterDuelist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be a support gem. Especially if poe2 is trying to move away from support gems being just DPS and more utility.

[–]Clsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah true, good point. Still, even one more. Moving channeling skill is great

[–]DiSuAsFuFa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Dracornz123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At 10 seconds that's definitely not a channeled skill. That's just straight up backpedaling between regular attacks. That's either twinstick movement, or a new keybind that works like current dash and allows you to invert movement input (clicking forward walks you backwards while held).

The later part could be a skill similar to strafe that auto aims and lets you move freely.

[–]gefjunhelChieftain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

honestly not sure how i feel about movement seemingly baked into so many skills

might feel differently when i get the chance to play it

[–]xzeolx 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I'm confused at how this works exactly, does that mean with this skill you wouldn't be able to move and aim forward at the same time? as in it's specifically for kiting backwards, right?

[–]IntroductionUpset764CoC Enjoyer[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude you breaking its magic here

[–]NiviusMiner Lantern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

controller 100%

[–]angrybobs 25 points26 points  (16 children)

Can I ask why wasd controls is good? Seems weird for an arpg.

[–]MedifragSaboteur 20 points21 points  (4 children)

You can have your mouse pointer be at a different location than your movement direction. I would say it's not weird at all, but I also don't really miss it in current PoE. Would be a nice addition for the people that really want it.

[–]gotee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe some new ability mechanics will lean into its usage. Interesting.

[–]YasssQweenWerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because you can move your character with WASD

[–]MrMeltJr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hope it's optional and that the game isn't balanced around it, not a fan of twinstick style movement.

[–]and_i_mean_it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That should mean aiming and walking also being separate for controller input, which would be nice. But would also require another hand for cycling your skills.

[–]CruserKay 8 points9 points  (44 children)

WASD movement would be such a blessing!

[–]MammouthQc 67 points68 points  (42 children)

With the number of controls we have to click (flasks, skills), no thanks

[–]CyberSosis 32 points33 points  (0 children)

What. Just mutate 4 fingers. Ez

[–]JohnExile 4 points5 points  (35 children)

Lmfao what? Every mainstream MMORPG has triple the number of actions.

Samurai in FFXIV has like 30 different actions. If my fc mates 68 year old mother can handle raiding on that, I'm sure you can handle 19, more than half of which are just auras or buttons you rarely press.

[–]lakie92 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Poe players are allergic to pressing more than one button for skills.

[–]Codnono 31 points32 points  (1 child)

MMORPGs have global cds of 1 or 1.5 seconds. Poe hast 12 attacks per second builds, with baked in instant Skills, dodging with mouse, picking up items every 1-2 seconds while mmos have „FROSTBOLT“ -2 sec cast time or some weird melee animations nowadays. I think it’s hard to compare those

[–]Dex8172 3 points4 points  (27 children)

TS on RMB, TS ballistae on Q, movement skill on W -- that's just about enough for me.

[–]JohnExile 1 point2 points  (26 children)

I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting to play like that. It's just silly to claim that adding dedicated movement keys is somehow too much is wild.

[–]EnergyNonexistantDeadeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using BennyBrosephs wasd script in the past for WASD movement (amazing as fuck for ranged chars) but a fucking official implementation would be GODLY

https://github.com/bennybroseph/AutoHotKey_Scripts/releases

[–]ReireitonChallenge Guide Creator 24 points25 points  (5 children)

Walking and dodge rolling backwards while firing forwards, does that mean what i think it does?!

[–]Iwfcyb 3 points4 points  (3 children)

That's gotta be a WASD control option, right? Or if using a controller, twin stick support?

That'd be awesome, but my only (slight) concern is they do what Diablo did and hamstring the game in the name of making the game more controlled friendly. That being said, I can't see GGG doing that.

[–]Squarestation 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Damn almost reminds me of those bullet hell games with constant waves of enemies (alien shooter was one), looks cool

[–]deaglebro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Life is so good it’s unreal

[–]MammouthQc 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Gunslinger new class?

[–]MicoJive 29 points30 points  (17 children)

Probably the minority, but gameplay like this does the opposite of excite me for the game. This looks SO much like grim dawn combat, extremely slow and kind of...boring. 5 seconds of walking just to run into a bunch of mobs and instantly backpedal away and start kiting.

[–]quinn50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

im holding my breath until we actually get to play the beta at maps, still looks like act gameplay.

[–]Night-Sky 18 points19 points  (4 children)

Definitely part of the minority. I will absolutely love the slower pace of PoE 2. Imagine playing a game where you can actually see what you die to.

[–]Gorgon_GekkoSaboteur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Machine guns are a new weapon base?

[–]Darkblitz9Gladiator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]Inverno969Necromancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope you can shape shift into an M1 Abrams.

[–]Gengar_Balanced 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we torchlight 2 now

[–]Biomirth 6 points7 points  (3 children)

If I hadn't seen the other gameplay and this was all we had so far I'd have to wonder if it was April 1. I kinda wish this one was a joke honestly.

[–]OurHolyMessiah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah brother

[–]NotRobotImHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not big fan atm

[–]TorsteinTheFallenDeadeye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apart from amazing graphics I don't like it. This ain't PoE to me...

[–]Sjeg84Hardcore 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Everything apart from the gameplay looks amazing. I'd really like to see what real gameplay in this game looks like until then I reserve all judgement.

[–]RDeschain1 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Even all the poe1 gameplay videos for marketing have pretty slow gameplay with enemies that often dont die. In the past they even used alot of footage wherw the character gets run over and killed by enemies.

It will be fine

[–]Sjeg84Hardcore 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Agree. That's why I reserve judgment. I believe it will be better when we see real gameplay. I really hope they show us somerhing during one of the Livestreams, which are definitelypre targrted to Poe 1 audiance.

[–]SevenStarSword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The combat looks more fast paced in this trailer. When I was watching the class showcases like the Druid etc the combat seemed a lot slower than currently in Path of Exile like when I was watching the Warrior, charging up attacks in the middle of packs seems like a nightmare.

[–]ContentCaptain2732 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So is everyone going to be playing POE2 instead of POE1? Or are the campaigns split?

[–]blvcksvn💕poewiki/divcord/prohibitedlibrary project lead | she/her💕 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're separate games and leagues are going to be staggered.

[–]Kosai102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deadeye: nooooo, you can't just shoot crossbows like a machine gun

Mercenary: hahaha bolts go brrrrrrrrrr

[–]Merkabah01 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Disappointing... while I like guns, I don't like to play many games with them. I typically choose games specifically that don't have them. POE is my most played game and personally I would rather guns stay out of it.

[–]AlsoInterestingTemplar 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yes. Guns and magic don't mingle.

[–]PatternActual7535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grum Dawn seems to do just fine with Guns and Magic

Inquisitor class is a Magic focused Gunslinger lol

[–]itsJets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

im trying my hardest to reserve judgement until proper endgame builds are shown but it just does not look like a good game

[–]paw345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More info on PoE2 is nice, but I kind of hoped that after they said that the games are split, and the whole Exilecon being about PoE2 this league announcement could be more focused on the future of PoE1.

With PoE2 teasers taking a large part of the announcement(I'm assuming it will be similar to Ultimatum announcement where they showed a bunch of PoE2) it's unlikely that we will get any discussion about the future beyond the league itself.

[–]BrutalGrizzly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playstyle reminds me top-down shoot'em up games. Is it a good thing? I don't know.

[–]Vanrythx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a fucking gunslinger class? oh boy, im wet.

[–]Lwe12345Half Skeleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like Lost Ark/D4 gameplay with bullet sponge enemies. Hopefully end game is different but I'm not holding my breath.
