they should have learned the lesson about people not liking rotations after they made warcry/steelskills literally OP and yet people didnt even wanna play them

looks pretty, the D4 cinematic is cool, but you basically waited 8 years to literally play Van Helsing without the hot ghost
the good times are over: GGG wants all of (you) in the regal orb scrap mine
the only thing that might interest me is to see if the past league's lore gets solved eventually, but it wont because nobody cares about the lore, except for that cute streamer girl

poe2 doesn't have rotations, skills are just more situational. if you (e.g.) curse a pack you could have blown up with one skill then you're just wasting time. its already confirmed that base monster types will be more widely varied in how tough/ dangerous they are than poe1.

Hello anons I have never played a PoE game and I have a few questions about poe2. I have played a lot of D2 and D4 however.
How do I buy early access on ps5?
Do I need to play the first to understand this one?
Is there going to be a lot to do in the early access or am I paying for barebones shit?

Yes, thats an MMO rotation. Congratulations on acknowledging a basic fact of reality
the only time during the stream where I saw bosses getting owned was, eerily enough, creeping frost
that and the mercenary 30% hit on bosses but thats unironically worthless as its unreliable and if you die during the fight the boss gets healed instantly
there's a better version of this shit and its called No Rest for the Wicked, and ngl chances are its gonna get out of EA before PooP2 KEK

idk how you buy a pack on the playstation.
you don't need to play the first but it probably wouldn't hurt to get an idea of the different currencies and basic skills.
if you took d2 and d4s combined endgame and doubled it it's about a quarter(if that) of poe2s endgame in early access.

bosses aren't meant to explode in two seconds, they're 1/4 as common as in poe1.

Supporter Packs for Sony realms (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5) will become available on December 6th PST when Path of Exile 2 launches in Early Access.

>Do I need to play the first to understand this one?
It wouldn't hurt. Would get you familiar with linking skill gems and the passive tree, but you could just go in blind.

>Is there going to be a lot to do in the early access or am I paying for barebones shit?
There's a lot. There's even going to be something similar to leagues in that they'll release updates as a bundle

Acts 1-3 are done, you have to replay them once to hit the endgame mapping system level. Map system has about 5-6 Leagues from the previous game with updated monsters, bosses and items but same basic mechanics.

Nobody knows how much PoE 1 knowledge is going to help you. GGG are huge D2 fanboys so D2 background is going to help a lot. Focus on building a huge Life bar and cap your resists just like in Diablo 2. Devs kept talking about Elden Ring being a big influence and all classes now have a Dodge roll, so get ready for that.
>>
>>503204536
he did say it was one of the three options, probably the other two werent even made back then
I'm betting GGG just wanted to find out the most annoying content they could find, the one people hated the most, and thats why they're going with TotA, Shitcum and Ultimatum

the implication is that you get access to Sanctum in act 2, Ulti in act 3 and TOTA in act 4.
if that sounds like it will force people to play sanctum maybe that will be balanced by it being easier to fail.
in general bonuses from the skill tree are also less extreme than in poe1 so maybe thats also true for the first ascendency passives.
>>
>me
>d4 casual player
>played around 30 hours every season
I like the trailer at first, and then it kinda gets too complicated when it comes to the endgame.

on a 1 to 10 scale in terms of complexity, d4 is around 3 for me, and poe2 looks like a 9
I'll still try it out though, but I wish they would dial it down to 7 or 8

personally, i'm down to watch a 1 hour long video every week to learn how to do the content optimally
but i have a feeling that i'll probably need to dedicate 5 hours every week just for learning the math behind the system in this game

NTA but that's sinergy. It's a rotation if you have to press 1-2-3 like an MMO. That's not the case.

Monk can get a power change by slapping a bitch at low hp, but it's not like you have to use a specific skill to put that monster at low life in the first place.
>>
I feel like not being able to use a support gem more than once in your build + the weapon swap trees will make builds a lot more interesting than people think

if you want actual one hour beginner videos then check out zizarin. he's very youtube / twitch voice guy, but if you can get past that he's the beginner guy. he's got tons of stuff like playing with him from 0 to end game and all the decisions he's doing, and poe "university"
>>
>>503205494
you will clear slower if you always use the same sequence of skills, so it's literally not a "rotation" lol
if anything using every interaction will probably only be necessary on bosses or if you're undergeared for that tier of content (in which case you'll also be punished by dying more).
the info is already all out, there are various mechanics to prevent 1234 macro play being optimal.

the thing you're missing is that you can do that yourself. you just need to drop the preconception that its necessary to 100% the game at any point and play at your own pace. you will slowly absorb information without realizing it.

Its an arpg, its the same. Not to mention, when I want a comfy button masher I go for DMC, which on higher difficulties is 10 times harder than anything in PoE1 or 2, but lets not get tangled on the retarded "muh difficulty" discussion
I wanna press 1-2 buttons, see monsters die and enjoy my loot. That's diablolike at its core. Some builds take longer to do that, and thats good, but I also want the chance to nuke everything.

Chris was never ever a developer. He threw himself on the sword to be the face of the company so people would shit all over him instead of any of the actual team. Neon was always the guy and now that he's healthy and better spoken and actually wants to be that guy, he is

>I like the trailer at first, and then it kinda gets too complicated when it comes to the endgame.
Its not, because all the Leagues that were mentioned are optional sidequests. If you don't like some particular sidequest mechanic you can just ignore it. All the League content are simpler than they look:

>Sanctum/Maraketh (amazon) trial grounds: Its a Roguelite dungeon.
>Ultimatum arena.
Series of arena battles. Each victory you can choose to quit and get rewards, or continue with new difficulty modifier.
>Ritual
Kill a bunch of monsters in a circle area to juice up the Ritual. Activate the ritual and you fight those monsters again and you get to choose rewards from the Ritual table once you're done.
>Expedition
Place bombs on the ground, monsters and chests come out. Kill the monsters, open the chests. You get special currency to trade with 3 different vendor NPCs, one which gambles items, one which haggles for items, and third who helps you build supergood items.
>Breach
Touch a demonic hand, evil area starts spreading and monsters appear, kill monsters, collect what they drop.
>Delirium
Touch a mirror, fog appears. eldritch horrors appear in the fog, kill them for extra loot.

Thats all those leagues are, and each have their unique rewards and endgame bosses.

I think this is the most damning thing. Okay, some guy apparently leaked some stuff, I'm not sure I believe his spiel about literal melee hatred etc..

But as soon as they said on the stream that they had only pivoted to PoE2 end game a few months ago I was thinking "what the fuck?" Its just weird. I mean what they showed seems alright-ish. I don't like only 1 death in maps, and I'm not sure about those tower-scarab mechanics; like, with scarabs and maps, you could buff every map you ran. This seems a lot more RNG; like, how often will you find 4 towers with overlapping areas of effect?

diablo 2 act 1 would filter 80% of modern blizzard players, as would farming Hell difficulty for gear good enough to progress as a barbarian. rune words aren't a casual-friendly mechanic at all. you've just forgotten the learning process which was required to make the game seem trivial.

I was talking about Delirium, brother
if my bladefall trap build had cost more than 70c I would have gone for something else
and thats part of the point: back in the day, SKILLS and supports were powerful, items were just the finishing touch
now it just seems like they want us to grind until the items are so good you can kill the boss even if you're using default attack

I played Path of Exile on Steam for a short period of time during the early hype year or so I think, but didn't play far.
After some seasons in Diablo 3 Reapers of Souls, I did not play a "Diablo-like" for a long time, but I have become interested committing myself in Path of Exile 2, since I will refuse to pay and play for Diablo 4. I even watched the stream yesterday and also redeemed the scrotum wings.
So my question is, if I want to go through Path of Exile 1 completely before Path of Exile 2, preferably as a F2P right now on a basically fresh account, what kinda class and build should I play to go as fast as possible through the whole story and most content ignoring endgame long-term farming? Is the answer to simply just pick Marauder and pump everything into strength to just unga bunga?

i will never understand why the idea of people doing all the content bother someone else, its almost as if their sense of self was only reliant on a videogame, which isnt just sad, its also a take your meds fucking call

>>503209898
marauder is probably the most straight forward. take a slam skill (sunder is super good at the start on and you get it very early), click all the passive nodes that sound like they give you more damage and beat up some mobs. use warcries for extra damage if you feel like pressing more buttons.
make sure to take leap gem, linked to faster attacks, for moving around the map very quickly. you can also combo it with frostblink - frost blink is an instant teleport with a cooldown while leap slam is a slower dash with no cooldown, so they pair nicely.

>>503210151
slams are faster for acts, also i think as a new player it would be a better experience to play a melee character and actually interact with enemies than shoot them from a screen away

>>503210176
terrible advice, yes ps mines trickster is the best build for early mapping but 1) acts until ps swap are cancer and 2) the skill is very boring to play with

>passive nodes that sound like they give you more damage and beat up some mobs

With how much Ascension defines the playstyle the point of gems and talents was dilluted; it became apparent that PoE2 took classic basic Classes and spread them across the multiple systems (Talents+Gems Skills+Ascension) to create an illusion of quantity and variety, while in reality you just achieve the same basic result you have in every other game (probably even less) by doing more miniscule shit.

I shit you not - the PoE2 shown few years ago and by the sound of Q&A and PoE2 shown yesterday are two different concepts.
PoE2 back then looked different from PoE1 and by the nature of split was supposed to be different, so people who didnt like it could have played PoE1. They even said it last year.
What i saw yesterdays was basically PoE1 with a bit of QoL and visual update.
It feels like initial concept they worked on went wrong (fans bitching? issues during inner testing?) and they just jumped on Plan B (making PoE1 with a bit of QoL and graphic update).

You have weapon swaps, melee is going to be a lot better when spears, flails, axes, swords, daggers, claws show up. Melee is missing a lot it seems.

And your weapon swap will be very important, like offhand mace for armor breaking or offhand spear for mobility options.

What exactly is "doryani"? Many streamers talk about it

>>503214702
The type of gear you have equipped determines your gem slots. Spells with wands, slams with maces, arrows with bows etc. Link sockets are decoupled, because to get them you have to alter your gems.

melee totems used to provide static buffs, and were required to plop down for comparable dps to a caster or ranged attack user.
turning them into static minions is a meaningful gameplay change.
tablets are also meaningfully different from sextants. they're more like conqueror watchstones + scarabs

Let me get this straight, PoE 2 is basically PoE 1 without the things people hate? Crafting is deterministic instead of RNG bullshit? You do not need to chase after specific maps to run? No need to worry about linking gear sockets? No flask piano? What's the catch here?

Doryani went missing back in his time. No one knows where he went.

We know that in Act 3, we're going back to Doryani's time.

It will be explained that the poe 2 exile took him out of his time, to the current poe 2 time by the end of the campaign, as Doryani ends up being poe2's zana for the endgame.

the MTX data will likely be shared between both clients because it is literally the same data, so PoE1+2 will take less data than both games installed separately on different drives.

>thing housing the seed of corruption is some kind of new styled-tech we haven't seen in lore before

hmmm
there are so many ancient civs we dont know much about who could be "Precursors"
like the first civs we learn about in delve
or the titans

but what really strikes me as odd is the fact that we already know the original seed of corruption that Sin used came from Kalandra
Kalandra doesn't really corporeally exist in Wraeclast though, she can only send emanations, or bring people into her lake

so who the hell are these Precursors

there being 3 different ascendency mechanics means one being harder/easier for certain builds isn't as much of an issue. I'm sure GGG have no idea how the playerbase will adapt either and that's part of what makes it interesting.
they have mentioned that
1) they have an internal "monster power" stat, so just because monsters are random doesn't mean you can roll badly and generate content where every pack is Revenants.
2) some monster abilities will be on a shared cooldown so you can't necessarily get chain or multi-slammed. or if you can at launch, they have the balance tools to recognize that there is a problem and fix it quickly.

I was looking at the keybinds from the trailer.
Mouse buttons for general skills / direction
QERTF for skills (see which buttons are missing?)
So WASD is for movement
Do they expect us to move and click skills with the left hand only? What would this "piano" even look like when most of the skills are now can be used while moving.
Total buttons on the left hand: 1,2 (flasks), QWRTF (skills), WASD (movement)

What are your resistances? When you beat the Act 5 boss you get a minus 30% all resistance penalty, this is the biggest new player filter as the notification is only displayed in the chat box.
You can use your crafting bench in your Hideout to apply resistances to gear you have with open suffix.

I bought this mouse, I'm planning on flasking and opening the inventory/gem screen with the various side and top buttons, and for my keyboard hand removing the space bar so I can hit more than one button with my thumb. should be pretty good.
>>
>>503220937
Hint: its not going to be 1.5-2x more damage

Some of the abilities are inherently mechanically infinitely better than others

This is how it works in poe1, and this is how it will also be in poe2.
Theres a reason people play lightning strike and not essence drain.

personally, i use ESDF for movement and QWARTGXCV12345 for active abilities or weapon swap in games where i need to
but for poe2, i might just stick with mouse movement since i'm familiar with it

Craft things when you have mats. I havent found a single jewelers orb in the past 5 hours of game.
But I just got this, not sure if shit or shite.
>>
>>503220880
Chaos doesn't matter until endgame, its something you target once you have the other resistances under control.

Rings, Amulet and Belts are the best way to sort out resistances while leveling.
Do you have any "Essences" or "Alchemy Orbs", buy Two-Stone rings from the magic vendor in town and throw some essences into them.
Repeat with Leather or Heavy belts, and whatever Amulet type you need, Dex or Strength.
Finally, use the crafting bench to fix your remaining resistances.
75% Fire/Cold/Lightning should be your aim, but having 60%+ for the campaign should be fine.
>>
>>503221179
kek what the fuck? i bought this mouse last month
>>
>>503220859
WASD movment
C: Rolling or skill
spacebar: roll if C is not used
Q and E for skills or health/mana
Mouse 1,2,3,4 skills
Shift for 1 more skill or health/mana
1 for health
2 for mana

easy

>>503221179
a mouse with 2 thick side buttons where your thumb is, is a must for poe2 for top tier comfy

>>503221383
i like resting my pinky on the shift is my issue with that
>>
>>503220880
Check vendors for gear with the right sockets, then throw an orb of alchemy or essence at it.
Go to your hideout and use the crafting bench to craft resists on any pieces that you can craft on. The ones you can't craft on, consider discarding them or changing them using chaos orbs/essences/scouring+alchemy etc.
Good gear means life+resistances, resistances are priority before you have 75% all elemental and at least 30% chaos. If you have those, then life is prio.
You're also ok with taking gear that has attributes you're missing (strength or whatever). Other stats don't exist and ignore them completely, except on weapons..

You have a catastrophic resistance failure, your elemental resistances should be capped.

its combos that do 5x damage.
the "mechanically best" skills are for clearing, then you use bigger combos for single-target, or if you want to do a 1 button build you just automate as much as possible.
>>
>>503209106
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Would you rather they give us nothing until they plan a proper POE2 league? Look at what happened to diablo 4. They launched with fuck all and everyone hated it. Now they are slowly adding shit from Diablo 3 when they should have just put the shit in the game from the beginning.

Just think, early access has so much content from poe1. Wait until they add poe2 exclusive content. You will never run out of things to do.

No, it lets you alter your gear. Depending on what open slots you have on your gear you can probably fix your resistances just with that. And it's dirt cheap.

Yes. Adding bloat from an old game only serves to marr the freshness/newness of the game. You'll be constantly reminded of poe1 instead of immersing yourself in a new experience. It's going to feel like shit
>>
>>503222269
Poe 1 players know that more is better than increased, that already dismissed your point that truly important knowledge does not carry over and about build guides.
Me personally I do not have anything to gain as an avid poe 1 player, but it would sucks if I were a new player and I knew if me, never played poe 1, and my theoretical twin, 2000 hours on poe, his build will be x1000 times better, he will craft gear x1000 times better, his atlas tree will be x1000 more efficient st generating wealth, his progression will be x1000 smoother because he knows about prefix suffix crafting with essences and such
>>
>>503201913
melee looked fucking awful in the trailer and this just confirms it
well, I like twin stick shooters so I'll play that
>>
>>503222438
Poe 1 players' experience highlights the value of accumulated knowledge, arguing that incremental improvements are less valuable than a foundational understanding of the game's mechanics. This suggests that your point about the importance of specific, deep knowledge not transferring directly is valid. Build guides, while useful, don't fully encapsulate the nuanced understanding gained through hours of play.
Your concern about a new player being significantly disadvantaged compared to a seasoned player with 2000 hours of experience is entirely valid. The difference in build quality, gear crafting proficiency, atlas efficiency, and overall progression speed would be substantial. A player with 2000 hours of experience has internalized the intricate systems of the game, developed a feel for optimal strategies, and identified patterns not readily apparent to a newcomer. It's important to consider the depth and breadth of gained experience as being far more significant than simply having a guide.
>>
AAAAAA SHOW ME THE DRUID
>>
>>503221628
No man...
Imagine a shitty fireball spell
Lets say when it connects with enemy it explodes, dealing 100 damage on entire screen, for example you invested into aoe a lot.
Now you use GMP, the same spell makes 6 fireballs, they explode but still deal damage only once for a grand total of 100 damage due to how anti shotgunning mechanics are coded in most abilities, but you cover more ground

Now you take the cluster grenade ability.
You throw it at enemy, it deals 25 damage with initial hit, and 3x 25 with small overlaps after like explosive trap.
Now you use gmp, you throw 3 cluster grenades, they pop at the boss with large hitbox, dealing 25 initial damage and 3x3x25 overlapping "shotgun" damage after
Players that are going to find such outlier abilities eith some support gem combos, will be dabbing on the game with single key press, while you will be busy doing your wow rotation to kill the boss.

It's not bloat though. These are fun mechanics that lots of people enjoy. Getting to interact with them in a fresh poe2 coat of paint is great. Maybe you just don't like poe1. I have honestly never heard such an argument before. You are completely in the wrong here.

Why are you being so rough on these redditor gaylords? Delirium is a fun mechanic by design but they just ported the ugly-ass mist over wholesale.
It's also just disappointing when they just port over mechanics with 80% reused assets and reshuffle them a little. It looks lazy. I'm hyped but I couldn't blame anyone who isn't. GGG are shameless about recycling in the laziest way. It's part of what makes the game good but it's also just rough to see.

Deli has been disliked since its release by a little under half the population because it's a "you have to be fast AND have a strong build" mechanic which filters out the vast majority of builds. This could be somewhat circumvented for a while for slower builds via using other mechanics like Ritual and Legion Incubators to get Deli orbs, but they nipped that over a year ago now by "decoupling" most League mechanics and about the only place to get them now is Heist, which many people find absolutely fucking mind-numbing.
I don't get the hate for Ritual.
The hate for Breach is just cause it's bad post-"rework" (nerf).
Also, "these people" probably liked Metamorph.

We don't, but I don't doubt it'll happen. It allows poe1 players to experience content first and still enjoy their fastpaced grind so poe1 can still be considered relevant, it allows devs to do less work and also use poe1 players to bug fix. They're still copying some of Last Epoch's homework and changing it slightly so I guess they could take from them again as a "new" feature.

The real reason redditors aren't happy with getting old leagues isn't exactly the recycling but the fact that it reminds them of poe1, they didn't have a good time in poe1 and couldn't progress far, they were expecting a new fresh start where everyone would learn the game from zero, seeing all the old leagues reminds them of their failures in poe1, a lot of complaints have been like
>sanctum is literally impossible as X build(they're mostly mentioning flicker and melee)

>>503226007
I like how you didn't post a screenshot of your original sin to defend yourself from the accusation that you don't actually run sanctum yourself.
Sanctum sucks because it pigeonholes you into glass cannon low TTK builds and it's really punishing for builds that have any sort of damage ramp or limited reach. You don't need to pretend it's a nice and fair mechanic. It's a divine printer gatekept behind playing brands/hexblast mines/freeze.

That said, I think GGG has done a very good job with letting you pick the trials you like and giving them different rewards to reward players who run all kinds. Hell they announced changes to resolve/honor (damage mitigation actually working) so maybe it'll be less cringe.

The fact that GGG let you opt out of it shows you how right I am about it being very build-exclusive content.
Also honestly ascendancy is just half the story, I care more about the trial-exclusive loot, that's going to be the impactful stuff long-term. It seems like the bigger thing (blood thingies) is in the Vaal trial though. Maybe they'll just have Sekhema Sanctum be a divine-equivalent printer with no exclusive loot.

I know its full of shit because he said hes from Asia but won't say where and has ruled out hes non-white non-pajeet. That's really narrowing down the possibilities of who it could be in the office.

They are rolling out all the keys to people who meet the $480 threshold over the next 2 weeks.
They could have done it before now, but they take any excuse to be lazy they can.
If you have spent at least $480 (USD) on PoE, you'll get a key during this time period.
Otherwise, you'll have to beg a friend for one, beg people online for one, or buy one.

The leaker sounded disgruntled and hyperfixated on strange things. Some of what he said may be true, but he clearly doesn’t have a proper overview of the project or an unbiased view of what’s contained within. His concern was that “melee isn’t le checking the best” meanwhile melee looks 10000x better and more engaging than it did in PoE1, do he sounds like an autistic faggot

The fact that he thinks he can do better than Jonathan while clearly not even knowing about certain aspects of the scope of the project discredited a ton of what he was bitching about desu

It was. It was due to merging the account systems so that people retain their MTX. They have a huge backlog of assets and shit they can release as MTX at any moment. There’s no way they, two weeks ago, went “oh my god we have no MTX developed” because we know they do, and have for a long time. Hell, you can datamine the 1 client and find a ton of unreleased MTX

He said that
And he also said that GGG keeps taking devs off dev time to make MTX, and that’s why PoE keeps getting delayed

So which is it? Are management making the team overdevelop MTX, or was the team developing the game and NOT MTX, leading to a two week delay to … develop MTX?

These are contradictory statements made by a faggot who doesn’t actually know what’s going on in the company at a management level, and just wants people to think he does.

Seems fun, also like the spell damage leeched as life. Plus rings getting like 170 health on them is pog. Sadly, no life on the tree anymore is going to make life staking harder. My favorite build I did two leagues ago was a health stacking Relic of the Pact.

>>503230549
wouldnt that node be most powerful during endgame when you are lifestacking though?

you can already tell 80% of playerbase will play chrono sorc or semen demon mode with witch doctor

also ranger looks underwhelming compared to marksman with auto shotguns

I feel like this is going to be the only playable caster pre-CI, with so much focus on boss fights where you have 1 life flask and no other good sources of sustain.
>>
>>503230879
I think this is positive, anyway. Regen might be useful for once.
>>
>>503230871
i haven't spent a single dollar on kpop or poe
>>
>>503230879
mind over matter now blocks 100% of damage with your mana, so mana leech is viable too.
>>
>>503230818
So just play Ranger with auto shotguns?
A few highway nodes get you all the Str you need.
>>
Now that poe2 has confirmed to be a flop, how will we cope?
>>
>>503230632
No shit, thats why I am planning my endgame around it. The entire tree hasn't even been revealed and its a two point investment as all blood mages have to take the first two points. Thats why I am planning on using it in endgame when I have my life stacked and can actually crit. Its probably the last point im taking.

>>503230818
Yes, I agree I do think the demon form is a meme currently, seeing as you need life regen to sustain the form, but it looks cool. Ranger by far looks the worse. And I think a ton of people are really interested in Merc, especially exploding mod for 10% and the free 30%.

>>503230879
Its always the most plain looking effects that are the most broken. Its going to be very comfortable to play, its why I am starting it.

wait 5 years for the next "good" game

>>503229103
Please, can you give me a key? Please
>>
>>503231054
That's true but making up for the lost regen is going to be hard if Cloak of Defiance is rare (or not in the game.)

>>503230998
Depends on the available sources, if you have to spec your whole tree into it that's not going to be fun against bosses with huge health pools.
>>
>>503231074
hop on the next game and continue doomposting ofc
>>
>>503231216
Might make the gear mode good as well.

What are these freaks crying about?

another retarded contradiction made by the "leaker"
Supposedly, PoE2 is an empty rugpull, and Mark and Jonathan will tuck tail and run after they sell supporter packs. PoE2 is just a smoke and mirror show to sell supporter packs.

At the same time, they didn't have any supporter packs ready for EA, so had to delay 2 weeks to make them.

This makes absolutely no sense. If it was a smoke and mirror rugpull purely made to sell packs, the packs would have been ready.

>>503228916
you have to redeem the key (if you got it from someone else) on GGG's website first, and there they will give you a steam key that lets you download the game from steam

>>503203045
he can be right about shit but also could have skewed and biased perception on things. Or mix truth and lies because zey zem are fuckin hacks
>>
>>503229654
>melee looks 10000x better and more engaging than it did in PoE1
You don't know the numbers at all and can't say one or the other. Melee being decent is merely up to numbers. If the defences and damage is sufficiently better than ranged equivalent, then melee is decent. If the numbers are not better, there is zero reason to play melee, because you give up range advantage with it.

I might be wrong, but the feeling that I'm getting from reading this is that jonathan and the other game designers were too late to design poe2 main game mechanics. I say that because of the major changes made (pot changes, crafting ...) from the June preview to the latest gameplay we've seen.

If this is true, the game designers didn't have a clear idea what they were building until some months ago, so it really does make sense to not allocate devs into poe2 but rather into poe1 leagues. Also, they are 100% gonna reuse recent poe1 leagues content in poe2, so Jonathan technically wasn't lying when he said most of the devs were working on poe2 lol. The dev said that mostly artists were working on poe2, and it makes sense because they don't depend too much on game design decisions

I don't think Jonathan is acting in bad faith like the dev implied, but I can totally see it might be hell working with him. I might be coping tho
