Day 1!

 

[Lokaum D+]

Rip D4

 

[HTK]

More info on July 28 but not an actual release right?

In any case, I think by the time I finish Diablo IV I'll be too burnt out from the genre to be honest to give this a try. Looks good though.

 

[Freeman76]

Rip D4

Yeah because 2 good games couldnt possibly exist at the same time

Yeah i fucked up, already asked mods to change the title

 

[Laieon]

I might give this a try, but Diablo does what I like in games significantly more than PoE, so I doubt it'll convert me.

Between Diablo IV and probably the 1.0 release of Last Epoch later this year, my ARPG cup is pretty full already.

 

[GHG]

SlimySnake what say thee?

I think this looks pretty good if I say so myself. Better than D4 anyway.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

If it will support gamepad controls then day 1!
Never played POE but I'm a big Diablo 2 fan. Hope this game is for me!

POE currently has game pad support. It has for about a year. Its also on Xbox and ps4/5

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

July?

 

[Nautilus]

Looks good, but Diablo 4 is out, and Path of Exile is Free to play, which always bumps me out.

Last time I've checked was exactly a year ago. So you can play normally with the gamepad with all bells and whistles? Because I don't remember what was wrong with gamepad support but something was wrong for sure.

 

[manfestival]

isnt POE 2 just going to be POE with more system and just a big content update? That was my understanding of it
basically OW1-> OW2

 

[Ic3man]

Pass, I'm good with Diablo 4

 

[Tomeru]

I am hypexcited.

 

[Sanepar]

Rip D4

The day this game have a decent lore u can say that.

 

[Spukc]

Rip D4

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

 

[Kiya's Guard]

The thread title is a bit misleading, not gonna lie.

The only thing really missing from controller now is binding skills to move for automation. It does make some builds not work because of that.

 

[Evolved1]

I really appreciate how significantly they've improved the player animation. This looks AAA now... frankly (this particular aspect) is now best in class imo.

 

[Schmendrick]

The trailer gameplay and visuals look incredible, imho visibly better than what we just got with Diablo 4 even.
But I don't trust PR material, we'll see.

 

[Gaelyon]

I'm totally hyped for PoE 2, can't wait

 

[DavidGzz]

Damn, that's looks awesome! It's nice to see they are putting that mtx money to use and not going cheap again because they could actually get away with it with their diehard fans. The jank appears to be gone unless this is a bullshit trailer but being so close, I doubt it!

 

[MaKTaiL]

I heard this will be more in line with what Overwatch 2 did. It will be a new massive update for the main game with a new story while also co-existing with Path of Exile 1 in the same client. I wonder if they will upgrade Path of Exile 1 graphics as well.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Hopefully they make this a bit more casual friendly.

Having a huge skill tree with no respec option in PoE 1 was a big NoNo for me. I just want to play casually at the start and want to respec later when things get to hard with my (blind) build. Just like you can with all Diablo Games.

The hardcore fans would probably scoff but I hope there is a casual "easy" mode. I don't want to have to look up a guide to have a viable end game build or deal with all of those damn mats or the mat inventory management. I also wish it was buy to play so that I don't have to spend money for more stash or good looking armors.

 

[xrnzaaas]

2 games from the same genre coming out in the same year, both games for PC & consoles and both requiring xxx hours to play them properly. Yep, there can only be one winner (long-term).

This was the one thing that made me personally stick with Diablo over PoE in the long run. Blizzard’s controller support is top notch. PoE’s controller support is very barebones and has very odd button placement and function.

I remember a streamer saying something similar to this: Diablo on controller feels like Gauntlet and PoE on controller feels like modded Diablo.

I’m hoping they fix all of this somehow, someway with PoE 2.

 

[GenericUser]

It was not announced at the summer games. It was announced years ago.

 

[amigastar]

Really excited for Path of Exile 2. Never really played the first one for long but this time I'm in.

 

[adamsapple]

Rip D4

 

[amigastar]

So it seems that Exilecon this year will not have a playable beta from the game.
That's unfortunate since i've thought we will get something playable.

 

[Fuz]

Let's hope it's not plagued by anachronistic shit like its predecessor.

And an AH so you're not forced to look for trading sites on google, and no XP loss on death, and...

blizzard says hi.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I love Diablo, Diablo II, Grim Dawn, and Titan Quest, but I could never get into PoE for whatever reason. I've tried a few times. Still this should be pretty big.

 

[Bernkastel]

Don't care about PoE 2, but I hate this gif. Maybe because it has been posted so many times in GAF.

 

[amigastar]

Same here, i have 26 hours played in PoE on Steam but it's mostly trying to play the game and then stop. But i'm curious about PoE2.

 

[DavidGzz]

blizzard says hi.

The in game armors look better than the mtx ones is my point. Maybe play the game first and you'd know.

 

[Fools idol]

it will be the better game mechanically, for sure. Especially for hardcore players.

Production and presentation wise however.... no way it will better D4. God tier.

XP on death is the mechanic that kept pushing me away from POE, by far the worst mechanic in the game. The AH is w/e since i would rather play solo self found.

The xp loss on death mechanic is a non issue until about 90 or so. I usually play squishy builds early, and I never notice it till the end game.

[Zathalus]

So closed beta next year? Likely that means full release is only in 2025. Damn.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

This looks so much better than D4 , especially enemy variety.
