I
Be bears I don't know about that camera showing
Guys people whatever it is so I'm light chat, okay, you're sorry to say I don't know what I went everywhere
That stupid fucking tap
He's that tap up there
But the sink
There's a tech. There's a tap there anyway in that tap. There's water that comes out of the tap
It's real slow, so you don't notice the water's coming out. So you fill up your coffee cup
your coffee pop and
You just can't hear it and then I got distracted
Because I was also making a protein check and I just forgot about it
I walked away and when I came back there was just water everywhere
Which is why everything is just soaked because you look look at the back there
Water damage.
Look down, look at the back there.
Look at that water right there.
It's totally under the cover machine.
It's just everywhere, mate.
All down the cupboards.
Ugh.
Anyway.
I put towels on there to clean up the mess.
That's my story chat.
Oh, this is camera.
Hey, wait, what?
Huh?
No.
He's lagging.
He's lagging a turtle made it to the water
Our turtle has made it to the water

Oh, they have all the fucking screenshots of everything.
That's convenient. I'm just gonna do that myself, but yeah
It's cool that they did that
Yes, oh the Chris Wilson video guys. Did you know that Chris Wilson released a video talking to Jonathan?
Bro fuck Chris Wilson for releasing this video mid live stream by the way
Kidney have posted it after it ended and then at least chat with me spamming
The whole way this little fucking troll dude
Look at this guy, this fucking troll.
Look at this fucking troll.
This content machine, he knows the time to release it, by the way.
He released it on the announcement day when Pyo2 is hype.
You know, Chris Wilson knows what he's doing.
He's like, yo, wait for that release.
I will release it.
And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm probably talking about stuff that's in the A.
Right.
I probably talk about stuff that hadn't been announced yet.

let's just go yeah what do we got here what I've been using this guy's videos
to go to sleep dude his guy just talks about medieval it's basically like he's
like hey like life back in the day was like the game you play Kingdom comes to
deliverance but he didn't say that explicitly but that's what he's basically
that he's saying. My new note, my second highest. Wait what? I think I've seen that right? The
shirt I've seen that one. I've just done how many have you done? SSJ3 vs. Beerus. Whoa,
he busted out of the SSJ3 vs. Beerus? I've not actually watched it, so yeah. Killer
Lewis 19 year olds with Secret Dungeon, content reveal, Leaver, Johnny Leaver, a Bop-It playing
a robot okay that's kind of cool that's that's kind of kind of neat kind of neat
wait they do not bite for a whole tree like that that's crazy transfer into
predator realizes police found them that's a crazy that's a crazy thumbnail
it's a crazy that's a that angle and everything it's just a crazy thumbnail
that's kuma bait don't click that don't click that yeah I don't know about this
what did I just watch
oh shit
Trevor the unseen footage of nutty-pity cave incident did add okay that's good
enough. We'll go with that.
Halna? Dude, this means so. I've listened to so many people talk about Nadi Puti Cave.
I've never actually seen it, like, in the flesh. So, I've watched, like, Five Mr. Bourne,
Maddy K. K. Stories, Fifteen, Scary Interesting, Nadi Puti Cave. The amount of people that
I'm gonna die in that cap. I gotta see what the vibes are like.
Obviously, there's that one super famous case that one dude who went head down and got stuck for eight.
What the fuck is he holding?
What the fuck is he... Oh, it's his hand!
Right? It's his hand, right?
It's his hand. I believe that's his hand. I wanna think that's his hand he's holding.
What else like like a real saggy nutsack that's small dot like small balls doesn't look like fingers
I think we're caught up we got a beaver video and we got the nutty-puttie cave thing and then we're gonna go Peewee to
Yeah, we're gonna do that things we're gonna go with
Depressed person Asian person living in Tokyo, okay, no
Modern games. Unbelievable. On Seattle monitors. Nah, you're full of shit, bro.
I ain't got time. I don't have to speedrun today. I just have to speedrun. We got this
and then we'll also fully speedrun the read.
I picked... what was this? How I picked on my... how I picked my friends at school
six nine
All right, you know a lot of it was put in that video. I'll give it an upper. I'll give it an upper
Whatever that fuck that is. I'll give it. I'll give it. I mean a lot of it was put in
That is fucking crazy. Wait, that small-ass animal does that.
P.O.E. bad. P.O.E. too bad.
Hash shopper's a Teevee.
Confidant for bad.
Treeing just like that.
Oh my god.
Walsh and Goode.
I'm a Teevee.
Hash shopper's a Teevee.
The beaver doesn't chew through the whole trunk.
just enough to make the tree unstable.
It then retreats and lets the wind do the rest.
How does it aim it, bro?
What a weird species.
What a weird speety.
It cuts branches into more manageable lengths
and then swims them down a network of purpose-built canals towards the dam.
How can they dam a whole river?
The pond gives this beaver protection from predators
and the canals allow it to forage far into the forest,
carrying many times its own weight with ease.
Hell yeah.
Why how did it evolve to learn it like how did it learn this behavior in the first place?
You know
like I
Don't get this
Like how the fuck does it know to build a dam?
Like it's just because no one's gonna I mean I get like it can't be just taught right like every beer is just taught
The cat is that even you have the genetics and what like what the first beaver look like they just like got a stick one day
it was in water I was like I like sticks in water and then the other ones like
just survive more because it was in water with sticks and then somehow like
there was two sticks and then it was five sticks and then somehow over like
thousands of years they develop this weird innate behavioral thing where they
just put sticks over like I mean it makes no sense right how the fuck do they get
to this point
huh? Autumn is the busiest time of year for beavers it won't be so easy to make
repairs when the pond is frozen over.
Oh, it's so cute.
It's hot dirty though.
The sound of running water is their stimulus to shore up gaps with timber and plug leaks
with mud.
But the dam not only serves the beavers.
Wait, the mud is wet.
Yeah, I don't get this at all.
I don't get this at all.
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
This dam, guys have you tried the dam?
I've tried damming rivers before and it just swells over.
It keeps, like I don't understand how it does it.
Because then what does keep coming and just goes over or does it just go around?
Moose come here from the forests around to feed on weeds that thrive in the beavers shallow
pond.
The weed is rich in vital sodium that the forest can't easily provide.
the beaver dams up some small river outlet but not the main river and then it overflows
a little area and that creates the canals which you can then transport the logs with.
Yeah, oh I see so it's not like they don't they never dam a main river it's always like
They're damning some little off outlet.
Uh, it's still insane that they learn to do this, by the way.
Like, think about it and saying that it's that they learn to do this.
There is approaching another essential role for the dam is revealed.
It's like birds knowing how to fly, but like they got wings and shit, right?
And it makes sense.
They got like their limbs and then they just figure it out, right?
But it's it's like the dam is a part of their body.
Let's think about it, shit. How the fuck do they know to damn rivers?
Maybe he's not a cry because, bro, it's like their vocal chords are inside them.
The damn is like an extension of their body. Do you understand what I'm saying?
But they don't learn from their parents. What are you talking about?
Not like they go to beaver school
In beaver school they like all broke up you can see like 20 beavers in this one dam like learning from this other beaver like
He's only every beaver and if the history small as always
Just being taught how to make a damn by its parents every single time nah bunches are not for fixing the dam
They're for eating.
The beaver secures them to the mud in the lake bottom.
In just a few weeks this lake will be frozen and the beavers won't be able to cut and move
trees, but they will be able to swim right under the ice to feed from this underwater
larder.
Bro, monkey-ess.
Why do they just eat the fish, bros?
Moose also eats twigs and branches, and often try to take advantage of the beaver's hard
labor.
Get away from this dam, bitch!
Get away from this fucking dam!
This young male is getting a little too close to the beaver's ladder.
Let me fuck him up.
Oh, bro, tail splash!
Bro, he's got- he's like a Pokemon!
Beaver's- Bro, beaver's like a fucking Pokemon!
Like this behavior is so weird and crazy, it like cuts down trees, it's got tail splash
attacks that you use it on mooses, it stores shit for the window swarms under ice sheets.
What is this animal?
What is it?
Oh my god, look at it go.
Oh, you get the fuck out, bitch.
Nah, I don't understand how that works.
I'm gonna, I'm asking Gropchat.
Grop, I'm not gonna answer, okay, Grop will know the answer.
Now does a beaver know how to make a dam?
It's mostly instinct.
Beavers are born with a strong drive to dam up running water.
The sound or feel of flowing water triggers them to pile up sticks, mud, and debris right
there.
This has been shown in experiments where captive beavers, even ones never taught by parents,
start building when they hear recorded running water played through speakers.
Orphan rescues do it, too.
They don't have some mental blueprint
for perfect engineering.
Young ones are clumsy at first
and get better with practice and by watching others.
But the core urge is hardwired, not learned.
What the fuck?
It evolved because stone-deep water
gives them safety from predators
and a place to store food for winter.
It's like how spiders know how to spin webs without a class.
Evolution baked the behavior in.
They just have to stop that annoying sound of running water.
Fucking stop it man, get it out of here like...
Do I have any water?
Ehhhhh...
I must damn!
I must damn the water now!
I must stop it!
Is that the trick you like here?
Is it dangerous hunting a bear?
Cause...
Wait...
Confirm they just chew through trees like guys have you cut have you cut
Down a tree that's new they are so hard
They are so hot they do not like it's so hard, bro
Like okay, what I'm saying a lot my bed and the live tree
Okay, I did tree. Yeah, that she comes down real easy. Actually, it's not too bad. That's your super. I'm so to begin with
And a live tree is like
Brutally hard to get through. I remember drilling in dude making my treehouse. I got these huge fucking drills
And I got like that I was boring holes into the tree and we get stick it was cooking the bits
And I had bits get stuck in the tree
That I couldn't get out because they just like the bit went in and it's fucked the bit up and
Anyway, I think at these ultra expensive super special
tree screws
Okay, fucking tree screws that would they were like this long to like get the fucking tree house to like go up
Real real I went through a bunch. Did you see that on the side of the tree house? It's cooked
Anyway, that shit is hard as fuck to chew through and they can chew, what I'm saying is this, if a beaver can chew through a tree, it would be trivial.
Your finger would be like a hot knife through butter.
Okay, it wouldn't even be one fiftieth the effort.
It'd be like the beaver just grabs your finger and like, oh, I just feel like biting this for a second.
Bang, your finger's gone.
Bang your fingers gone
He's cute as fuck, dude. He's cute as fuck. Oh, here's cute as fuck. Are we a race mouse gonna bad dog guessing?
Oh my god, I want to pet beaver right now I
I want to pet beaver right now
and then actually I'm gonna be like do you know what looking at things way too
much effort
fuck this be free beaver and I'll send him free
uh guys maybe cool for like two days
it'll be cool for like two days
I've seen it, it's funny because I've actually seen, I remember this video from years ago,
do you know who posted this video chat?
Fucking science girl.
Fucking science girl posted this video.
Fucking hate science girl.
Oh, it's a person on Twitter.
Oh, this is so sad though, right?
Isn't this sad?
Let him be free in a river!
The tail is so nuts!
Oh, it's a tree, man!
He just wants to cut down trees!
He just wants to cut down trees and make a damn, please, bro!
Well, is this what it's like to be like he's a beaver in a body, but his body's like, you know the environment is not he just knows
Something deeply is wrong
Like it is evolutionary instincts are kicking in but the environment is just incorrect
It's some sort of like dysmorphia thing that he's got going on
The jet think about it he doesn't know what's wrong he hasn't seen these that you know that what an actual water watery zone looks like
He just knows he's trying to just trying to fill a hole inside of himself avoid that he can't feel
Oh that poor poor beaver
He just wants to make a stop by him bro
Imagine your purpose in life right imagine you have literally one purpose in life right you're born as a beaver. What does a beaver want to do?
innately no training they want to build dams and they want to block up rivers
and make a little base he can't even do that so it's like your one purpose in
life you can never achieve that's fucking so sad so he just has to pretend
this probably isn't satisfying to him it's probably not giving him the
Satisfaction you get that evolutionary drive would give them a view could actually cut down a tree
I'll be that set feeling the tree going down would be so good. Oh
That this is the problem is this is the person guys
Let's watch that this person video. Let's watch this nutty-pitty came here. Wait, do I do you want to wait?
You couldn't use guys said nah, is this actually real bad?
I
Man I know about but I already know about what happens in any pretty cave. I've watched like 15 years of people dying in this place
Obviously the super famous one the dude who went down face down into the crack and I got stuck and then slowly died
Yeah, do you know what? I've got tons of part of ASL stuff to watch today anyway. Let's
just go check their drama stuff and then we'll just then we'll log into whatever.
I just read Mirrored, the American Republic's been covered up in paint. He said YouTube
Confirmed that it's been a good breaking live stream, but none of those got bothered
There it is there it is I mean yep
That's why by the way, that's why I was saying it's sad for us your speed because he doesn't even know if he should celebrate or not
You could tell like I could tell he hesitated for a second and he'd be like I he didn't fully believe in himself
Yeah, they killed the shit up and get ass. I don't know why they did that but okay
Samsung's attention cuts a 85 inch TV to voidability so he doesn't have to do the work.
After the video is released Samsung removed it from Reddit and then calls me and bribes
me to take it down.
The YouTube video here is the original video and the phone call.
Read the body before commenting.
Two years ago it released this video and it went viral and out of hours less than a day
Later it was removed by ravens for breaking global rule 3 respect the privacy of others
Okay, but the body jet I'm watching I'm reading the body of the text in the video
Thing is it doesn't make that rule this video as a guy I come near crime my house
His rights of privacy is null and void
After doing what he did I
I did play along though and made a since it edit where I covered his face
They removed that one as well because it showed Samsung's Kia logo on his pants
So why does it keep getting taken down because Samsung has powers of reddit and reddit follows that orders this video is really going to make
the man because I am including the phone call where I
I brought where I am brought to remove it from YouTube so chances are this video will also be going that it dealt to we'll see all
Shit the Illuminati they can Samsung controls ready to confirm guys
What's the video is it a video what does he do so the TV?
How the fuck to people watch every second I'm wearing this thing is pissing me off
Samsung cuts the line line. Okay, I get the new 85 inch Samsung QLED TV delivered
die unboxed and set it up. It has dead pixels. Samsung care technician comes out
to replace the screen and puts it together wrong.
Technician comes back to make a mistake and that causing pixels using the new
screen. Samsung offers to send me a new replacement with set up and removal of my
unit. The service in there calls to confirm and I find out it's no longer being set up,
only dropped off so I cancelled the delivery out of frustration. I thought, look at these
red things in this, look at the pause to read. The Samsung cuts timeline. I thought I could
live with the pixel issue on my screen but a few months go by and the spot continued
to bother me. So I decided to take that TV before my warranty ends. Same thing since
the case ignition instead, which I assumed was to replace the screen. I set it by hitting
camera just in case he would make another mistake. Yo, that's crazy. Hitting camera
shit is crazy. I must admit, I feel like it's, is it an image in privacy? Cause I, like,
dude, I had people coming in my culture to work and I was like, I could, like, I could
to me I could record just to make sure not because I wasn't there for like the whole day
but then I was like ah I'm not going to record these guys and then I just turned it off
well you know just but it's like you know it could be for a second there thing and like I could
just record just to make sure if I'm going to be the whole day and they didn't be looking
inside my house the whole day it says something else you should well I didn't do it so I never have
Yeah, I just don't like the idea like I just I just think like what I want someone to record me and I think no
So then I don't do it
Hmm
But then this is how you get these weird videos are like dudes like
You know, I was a checker might do it
They get this weird videos of dudes going to sniffing panties and shit
Or doing like throwing weird sink pissing shit or like they jack off and you're taller than some weird shit
They do some like weird shit
You know anyway
Yes, I've seen a bunch of videos of weird shit. They have this thing out like called 60 minutes here or
But they would do a thing where they set up a hidden camera and just high tradies and that's shit
They would do is just insane
I'm saying something's the case ignition again and see what I assume which replaced the screen
I said about in camera just in case I make a mistake to condition arise to fix the TV
Sir
The first thing he does is ask me to flip the back of the camera.
I just want to reset everything in the power.
Yeah, in the kitchen.
How far is it?
Look at this guy's entire identity of smoking weed by the way, guy smoking weed, some gull
emoji. Hat with 420 on it. Hat with 420. Like Jesus Christ. Hey, why not, though?
After that Singapore Samsung sent me a replacement TV with set up a removal of that unit
Okay, that's good right so he gets a free TV back December 7th location where the tick
worked that is removed from the Samsung contract
She was fired location, but who knows I found out after the video the tech was the one who
changed the replacement TV back in March from setup to drop off in the system.
I'm confused. Why did he do that? Is this like so he did that because he's lazy and
happy fuck facing it and then that way you just get a full replacement. Is that why he
did that? So the guys just trying to save time by just he's like African district. He's just
He's warning it.
So they've done.
Okay.
I mean, wait, so he says he's a third party.
I listened to the video because it was shocking.
I wanted to show people that you can't trust anyone.
You should film everything.
I don't understand this.
What's the betrayal?
So is it the Samsung employee trying to get like an insurance scheme where he gets the
TV back free or something because of some insurance policy?
Or is it just like, well, let's just skip the part of the process because, yeah, look,
it's damaged beyond repair.
Why is it?
He damaged TV to avoid the war. Well, he's voiding the warranty.
He's saying they damaged it so they won't replace it. No.
Some of them finds out and has to remove the next day.
But it got replaced though check it doesn't make sense they replaced it the aftermath immediately was they replaced it
So either the guy
Was trying to like do some warranty thing whether that Samsung doesn't have to pay money or that they're that they're probably up
It doesn't have to pay money or B
It just skips some process that makes everything faster. I
Don't understand what's being exposed 15 minutes after the videos removed
I got a phone call from my director his hands up. Did you know chat?
This reminds me of like
insurance to cars
Where they just like ah
That like a tree fell on my ranger and they're like yeah
We're just gonna write it off and then when you write it off
You can't do all this bullshit and you can't just register it and we could fix it right we could fix the damage for real cheap
But then you have to like it gets the registry because of an accident or some shit you to re-register it
There's all this extra bullshit. So they just say okay the car is written off. It's destroyed. You can't use it
It's like on paper
ruins
And then there's so they just say fuck it will pay you like 17k for it. It's it just saves time
And I'm wondering if this is like this just bypasses that
I'm doing a very bad articulate. I'm doing a very bad job articulating what I'm trying to say right now
But you get the I mean, maybe someone is yeah, I'm just going to say
I wanted to get I wanted to record it. So I said we cool back and got my cameras hit up
Like 15 minutes after these were removed. I got a phone cool from a director of Samsung. Okay
Can you hold one second?
Sure.
OK, sir, sorry about that.
Wait, did he just make this up?
Did the weed guy make this up?
So obviously, it's illegal to record people's phone calls
without telling them about something.
So I wonder if he just made this up to make it so it's not
illegal or, yeah, depending on the state.
Yeah, depending.
You're not allowed to record people's phone call
without telling them in America, like in most places.
Can you hold one second?
Sure.
I don't know what you just did.
That doesn't mean.
Okay, sir.
Sorry about that.
I just needed to exit a meeting and come into a different room.
I apologize for that.
No problem.
You left a meeting for me?
Well, sir, first to introduce myself again, my name is Nicholas Webber.
I am the head of our field service operation.
I basically lead the entire network of our service technicians across the country and
anything that goes on from training to quality technicians, it runs through me.
Gotcha.
It was brought to my attention and I basically watched your full video, sir.
I was absolutely shocked.
It wasn't his first time doing it, that's for sure.
The way that we watched that video and the way that I saw him kind of watch you go to
the stairs, check, make sure you're upstairs, I completely agree.
That's why I was like, we have to go back to every customer, every 12 months we have
to.
That's what a lot of comments are saying, did they check his history and?
100%.
Your video was so enlightening to me and it's also so embarrassing.
I personally noticed in your video that you're kind of building a man cave, right?
Sure.
I would like to personally, from me,
offer you some more products for that man cave,
because what would a...
Send a PAM off, I send a PAM off.
Yo, I'll be like, hell yeah, bruh.
Hell yeah, bruh.
Yo, yo, give me that fucking 250 inch.
Give me that, give me that,
I want to make that, give me that big ass TV, please.
What's your budget?
Cause I can think of something I do need,
but it might be a bit high.
Give me a, give me an ass, tell me what you want.
really use a washing machine do you have the same to make a washer dryer combo
I can check into that for you and that'd be great that'd be something there's
man has this I would just need to go he's you look utilitarian he's a
utilitarian okay that's what it is some of the man gave on him but fuck it some
senior leadership and get some approval on this but I think that will listen to
me so let me let me work on that and I will make this happen now you know this
This whole process really saddens me, and I know that you know washing machine for taking another video dude. Hell not dog. Hell no
We the video is out there. Is there any way you be maybe possibly pulling that video down?
So we didn't have our care emblem and a person's face on it that we're supposed to be protecting from PII
personal independent and
What are they called? Ah, so that's why you go of course. It's what they want
Did they remember because it was transactional Tommy it's transactional
It's the ice scratch you'll back you scratch mine kind of thing. You know son
You know, it's how it is
Personal identification independence
Protecting them and the video shows face and his badge gotcha. Yeah
I know the CFO is in his office. I'm gonna run down there and talk to him right now
How about I run down there have a little yes, this is cool, but I have not ordered the wash it if it's going to cost
$25 to fix the laundry room. I didn't have to spend that on deal with more countries
conversation with them
I give you a call back in a few minutes about this back laundry and then we'll close this out and then at that point in time
Maybe you'll let me know if you decided to remove it or not. We'll see. I don't know
Understood understood. Well, you know, obviously
I was worried that exiting the gift would give them power over the video somehow and no way was I taking down the video
There's no contract, but you're good
As long as there's no contract you're good, bro. I
Want you to make your own decision. Obviously, you know where I'm hopeful that you go, but I understand
Gotcha
All right, give me a few minutes. I'm gonna run down the hall here. I'm gonna have a little conversation
I'm gonna give you a ring back. Okay. All right, man. Sounds good. All right, thanks. Bye
Okay.
Customize and enter the product and it's covered under warranty.
Authorize technician finds my damage unrelated to the warranty issue.
Company says, oh, okay, warranty voided.
This gives also our technicians not the same song all incentive to in the world to find damage or create it
The fact that they wage war with this video doesn't know their obsession
Why did he do it?
He was waiting on another truck to arrive with the pot
85 full 85 screen to place damage one
But when he got to my house he learned the truck was an hour away
So even before entering my home decided there was she be so you go home now to wait
He didn't actually drive to my house with that plan, at least I don't think it was a sudden decision.
Did they replace the TV? Yes, before I released the video, for the first time two years ago.
Thanks for the answer, I'm going to replace my TV with a new one.
Before I released the video, for the first time two years ago.
Huh
I don't understand I still don't understand so they replaced it because he's written to release a video or they
Replies it just because they're replaced it and he just released a video anyway. I still don't understand. I still doesn't okay
So he wanted to go home. What's that mean?
Am I right?
But no no no olinks pebble. That's just I don't know why they're all pebble
I've never seen any of these videos. I've never watched any of these. I don't know why
I don't know why these things are bubble. That's just like some fucking quirk of reddit

It was an alien life.
So is the truth really out there?
Senior White House correspondent Peter Ducey joins us live with the details.
What have you learned, Peter?
Good morning.
So, a White House official left this hard drive on my desk overnight.
You can see on it it says AARO files copy 203.
That is the all domain resolution office copy 203.
This is the first big batch of UFO disclosure ordered by President Trump.
Some of the clips and videos on there have popped up different places before.
Some of them have not and we have been going through this all morning and overnight to
try to put together some of the best videos so we can all look at this together.
This is a world exclusive right here.
So let's go to the first clip over the skies of the United Arab Emirates in June 2024.
An inverted tear drop with a vertically linear trailing mass as described by the War Department
suspended below. The War Department cannot say for sure what this is. It is officially
listed as an unresolved UAP report. The next video over the skies of Iraq, December 2022,
moving bottom left to top right of the field of view. All CENTCOM gets from this is an
area of contrast. That's what they describe it as. It is officially still listed as an
unresolved uap report next video over the skies of grease
october twenty twenty-third what is described as
a small and circular uap flying near the surface of the ocean towards land
sent com can't tell us what it is it is officially listed as an unresolved

all of these videos have gone live on war dot gov slash ufo and a white house
official tells Fox first, while past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American
people. President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public who can
ultimately make up their own minds about the information.
But how the fuck do we have such good cameras and shit? And then like, this is the best
we got. What's some like dot on the screen that's like fucking nothing. You know, like
some fucking dot, uh, some dot on the screen.
I was always working in China.
What the fuck?
Hi, I'm Leo.
Today we're going to talk about toilets in China.
This is something every traveler thinks about, but nobody proudly
researches.
So I did some research.
I found it was very really explained by Chinese natives.
Therefore, I'll do it today.
I'll introduce how Chinese toilets are different, the reasons behind it, along with some traveling tips.
First, toilets exist everywhere in China. They just may not...
If you didn't actually show us how to use a toilet, what the fuck is this?
...behave the way you expect.
I was gonna like... I was just... I was just... like... I was just gonna see, like, in action.
For example, this. Yes, the squat toilet. It's real and it's pretty common.
And no, it was not invented to punish tourists. In many public places, you'll encounter squat toilet,
a porcelain rectangle on the floor instead of a throne you can sit on. So you might be questioning
why? Historically, squat toilet was very common in East Asia. In the past, it was much cheaper
to install and maintain. Many locals believe it's more hygienic because there's no body contact.
Do you know what the dog do? The issue with this in like NA or in most places, the most
sourceable countries. In order to use a squat toilet, right? Think about it. In order to
use a squat toilet, you've got to be able to do, you've got to be able to go. You've
You want to do this?
And you know what?
A bunch of people probably can't just do that.
people in chat right now who cannot do it just a basic squat so then it's just not
it's just bad but imagine if you're like 120 kgs and you're trying to squat like
not like 120 kgs muscles not like 120 kgs fat
compared to sitting on a toilet seat also it doubles as a free leg workout if
If you're curious to try it, here's a short practical guide.
Using a squat toilet can feel intimidating at first, especially if you've never used
one before.
Oh, wait, there's no gaps, there's no separate gaps?
There's no separate gaps.
But it's actually very straightforward.
First, don't stress too much about which end to face, okay?
There has been a long running debate about this on Chinese internet as well.
But to the whole, obviously bro, why would you not put, dude, you don't want to put your
face over the whole and be smelling it.
You put the butt over the whole, you get the, what?
Even locals disagree.
Some people face the whole, others turn their back to it.
Both camps exist.
And both survive just fine.
This guy's inhaling all the shit fumes, bro.
This guy's getting massively shit fumed and it's going to be hard for the shit to travel
Think about it, shit goes here, travel is that way, bang.
Right, shit goes here, it has to go all the way,
it has to travel further distance,
it's gonna get, it's gonna streak up.
In practice, you can face either end of the toilet.
Place one foot on each side, squat down fully
and keep your balance by leaning slightly forward.
Stay relaxed and steady rather than rushing.
Do your business and take your time.
Rushing is how accidents happen.
When you are finished, flush using the button or pedal, or simply wait for the sensor to
flush automatically.
Then clean up and wash your hands as usual.
It may feel unfamiliar the first time, but most people adapt quite quickly.
I mean, your shoes literally touch the toilet ground with this piss on there, bro, so I
mean, yeah, fair enough.
If you are worried about it, here's good news for you.
In most cities, they usually offer both squat toilets and sitting toilets.
The second cultural shock I want to talk about is toilet paper.
In China, toilet paper is a personal responsibility.
This one catches a lot of people off guard.
Not every public toilet in China provides toilet paper.
So fuck, which is a carry around TP?
You're supposed to carry around TP.
She be dead ass me right now, so I'm gonna have to carry around, dude, hell no.
Sometimes there's none.
Sometimes there's a dispenser that looks like it stopped working a long time ago.
So as locals, we carry tissues, always.
What? I don't care dude. The only dude my equipment load IRL is
My t-shirt my shorts and my phone
That's it, and then if I'm deriving then I'll have the keys. I have the keys to the car. That's it
I'm dead. I don't know take a wallet. No, I
Never take a wallet. I just use the app. I just use my app. You just you pay with everything on your phone bang
If you need an ID you just type in your ID and your phone bang
What's this?
Okay, well it's my own space set.
Yeah, I only use apps.
So my driver's license, I just type driver's license and it shows my driver's license.
I would show you my cards right now.
My wallet, I just pressed wallet and it's my wallet.
like I'm looking at my shit right now you know it's got my personal information
on there probably I've got air points in here as well I've got my Hilton card I've
got my Sony entertainment network PlayStation Plus card I don't know I
must add that shit I don't know what the fuck that is sure fake dude why you
shouldn't hack me bro well it look there it is yeah much moving it so you
details. Burn. Burn.
I highly recommend buying a small pack of tissues and keeping it in your bag. Check it regularly and top it up when needed.
Guys, I legit, this is like, maybe there's too much information. I legitimately cannot use public toilets.
I will only use it in case of an emergency.
I will either shit at the start of the day or at the end of the day.
For shitting, that is.
Public toilets are just so fucking disgusting and the toilet paper is so fucking yuck and
just everything about it is just, you know, I'm a bidet enjoyer so if I don't have a
bidet I'm just cooked.
Like it's a real bad idea.
I need a bidet.
At some point during your trip,
you'll be very glad you did.
Think of it as the most important item you carry,
second only to your passport.
Unlike in some countries,
public toilets in China are generally free,
which is convenient.
What's more interesting is that
the quality of toilets can vary a lot.
In some rural areas,
you'll find bathrooms with squat toilets only,
no paper, and the vibe that encourages you to be quick.
In some cities, like Hangzhou or Shenzhen,
or a shit on the ground at that point, bro,
the popular tourist sites,
the toilets can be surprisingly fancy.
For example, this public toilet in Zhejiang province
has a smart management system.
There's a screen that shows which stores are vacant
and even displays air quality data.
Very practical.
This one is in Yunhe.
From the outside, it looks completely normal.
Then you walk in.
Aha, you can use the toilet
while enjoying a beautiful view through a lot of...
That's why I put the view that way
because you're gonna be facing the opposite direction, bro.
Jibendo.
And this is a toilet in a train station.
It feels a bit like Black Mirror.
There are advertisements displayed directly on the mirror.
Honestly, a great business idea.
I just hope they never advertise food.
If you haven't been to-
What's with food? That'd be real bad.
We're gonna add it in the nurse, but they add after that food were cooked.
China, but are planning a trip.
Oh, because you're doing the poo poo.
Wait, but wait, you're already taking a shit at that point.
You might be wondering, how do you actually find a toilet?
The answer is simple. Use a map app.
Download a Chinese map app and search for toilets.
In Mandarin Chinese, bathroom or toilet is
宿所
宿所
Type that into the app like this.
Hit search and there you go.
It shows all the nearby toilets around you.
Very useful, very reassuring.
As for which map app to use, I recommend
高德 English name A.
I got enough this is enough cool stuff guys squat thoughts. That's guys everyone by the way squatting is elite. I have a squatty potty
I've a squatty potty
So speaking of the squatty potty enjoy it basically the more you're like neat the more you drop your ass
Relative to where your knees are at the better your gut is positioned to basically release its contents
evolution dictated that squatting was the main tech for the hundreds of
thousands of years people used to just shit on holes chat believe it or not
hundreds of thousands of years people just shit on holes and that's how we
evolved over time is shitting in holes so but it's basically shit maxing is
like squat squat towards our superior for shitting this is quite a body can
you see it? Bang right there. Put your feet up in there, let's get into a nice squat position,
bang. That's the squatty potting. Just so you know, there it is. Alright anyway guys,
We're not gonna do politics. Oh, boys.
P-O-E
To
Holy shoot

Guys, I'm not getting raised better today
I'm not getting raised better today. I'm not getting raised better today guys
There's too many good things to plug out about to they get raised better by the disposal. I'm not the one it okay guys
There is an interview
The question is do I want to watch the interview
First or do I want to watch do I want to deep dive and pause through the main announcement first?
I'm not sure what I'm talking about.
Any of you?
Someone asked in Jet Valley yesterday, what race is Jonathan?
I read bill what's going on there

And Jonathan bro, how the fuck do people wear things on their wrist?
It's like that's that they say you're gonna get used to it after like a day you get used to it after like two days
You get used to it after like a week or something
Every second that I'm consciously
Existing okay
I'm just getting triggered by
Wearing this fucking thing
Makes my wrist is hurting bro. Oh, but you know what this one I can put down on I can put it down on the
Like it doesn't affect my gaming ability, which
Yeah, my pinky is not hurting. I'm gonna try took me two months. Okay. I'm gonna try I'm gonna try one month of wearing the shit
And if I buy one month, it's not like I'm gonna tank it
Cool thing is yet apparently I've got to link this up with the streams and I can actually do heart rate monitor streams with live heart rate
Very cool
Very it's a step tracker. I just mainly a step tracker
I have you think it's too tight is this too tight yet?
Let's let this go
I mean I'm gonna mock yeah
No, I think so
It's not there's no mock there bro. It's like all my bonie pot though. I got boni I got boni arms, bro
I'm tight enough.
Hi, I'm Chris Wilson.
Turn on the high-rate monitor.
I have to, like, create my own application that has a Bluetooth connector, and then I
have to sync it with this.
Then I can capture it and put it onto OBS.
It's like, again, I have to have my own application.
Anyway, guys, we're watching this interview.
Get your potions ready.
We'll get to Chris.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Chris, talk to me in the back.
Okay, here we go.
and I can't pause.
Hi, I'm Chris Wilson.
So this is the interview
that people have been requesting for some time.
Today I'll be chatting with Jonathan Rogers.
The context with you is Jonathan and I were two
of the co-founders of grinding your games
and ran the company together for 17 years or so.
I left a few years ago
and Jonathan's been running it since then.
So for every new path of Excel to release the company does,
they run a press tour where journalists and influencers
can interview the company about the new expansion.
and now that I've got my YouTube channel,
I kinda snuck onto the press store
and snagged an interview slot with Jonathan.
Hey, Jonathan, how are you going?
Hey, I'm going good.
Nice, good to talk to you.
Yeah, so, how's life at GGG?
Zero-Five-Zero is looking really cool.
I'm very, very pleased.
Wait, they both live in the same city.
Why can't he just go around at Jonathan's house
and do it live, bro?
I guess like, fuck, he doesn't get special privileges
because he's Chris Wilson.
You don't get special privileges.
I see it.
Well, I'm certainly busy.
I'll tell you that, but there's a lot.
I don't think Bro's awkward.
I think these guys have just interacted with each other since literal high school.
So him saying, Hey, man, what's up?
It's like, yeah, what up?
Like it's not a big deal.
That's why it's easy and awkward.
So and on, um, like if I was kind of this just like giant patch that, uh, you know,
it was like a crazy bear to organize just because there's so many different parts to it.
So, um, yeah, it's certainly probably one of the harder ones I've worked on.
I'd say the scope looks crazy.
Like when you were initially telling me about it,
Like obviously there's a ton of stuff in the end game, but you just kept going.
Yeah.
I think one of the issues, one of the perils of being in early access is this
is kind of desire of like, okay, with every patch, we want to try and fix everything.
Like we want to try and get the game into a state where it's more releasable.
And yo, that was what I was confused by why neon saying he's going to wait to fix.
Why isn't it their job now to unshittify the passive skill tree before they move
on with any content?
shouldn't they stop doing like why put anything new into the game until you fix
the stuff that's currently in the game first am I crazy
the point with all the classes this is what I'm thinking to myself and I'm
like and why keep releasing the leagues if it's fucking early access I don't
know again it's it's kind of I feel like modernization is a part to do with it
by the way. I think money's got something to do with it. I'll just put it out there.
I think obviously they are monetizing the early access and if they incentivize people
to do it, I mean they were literally sponsoring content creators to do early access leagues.
You know?
So then we're like, okay, the end game is a problem. We need to address it. So like,
okay, what are the things that we need to have? And what are all the things that would
need to happen? And ultimately end game good. And so suddenly then you're ending up with
the scope is just absolutely gigantic and probably the smart thing to do would be to
be okay. We're just going to divide this up into like several pieces and then we're going
to go and we're going to try and do each one and you know, one at a time.
The problem is, what was that say?
Could you divide the end game stuff? Like it feels to me like you kind of do need to
do that pretty cohesively.
Well, I mean, I, this is the thing, right? Like it does feel like you can't divide it.
And that's because you're like, okay, if we're going to make the end game good, it means
that every single like, you know, all, all of the things in it need to be good and so
on. But like the reality is that probably what it would have been better is like, hey,
just leave one of these leagues bad and you know just like concentrate on the
others and everything like that but we kind of I really didn't want to so what
we ended up doing was kind of like okay we're gonna we're gonna make every
single thing that's in the in-game actually good you're gonna make sure
they all have the sort of depth of a full league system you know we're not
gonna leave it like how it was in 010 and that's just kind of led to the
scope being huge and we even like we were planning even 040 to have a bunch of
and then it ended up just getting pushed
because it was just kind of too huge.
So yeah, just a scope management issue
and it's just been pretty, it's been pretty good.
So with regard to that delay there,
how did the thought process work?
Like obviously you'd worked out a scope of in-game stuff
in your head, you thought you could do for 040
and then the reality was you eventually
had to decide to push it.
But like, what was it that made it too big to do in 040?
Well, once again, I think it was probably just the fact
that we wanted to do it all at the same time.
So we were like, okay, we need four new pinnacle bosses
because we need to be upgrading four leagues.
If we've got four new pinnacle bosses,
we need to make sure the league mechanics
have an extra thing going on with each of them,
like all that sort of stuff.
And I think if we had just done one of them in O4O,
that would have been absolutely fine,
and we could have got extra,
especially because a bunch of work was done, right?
There was a bunch of work done before O4O,
because we did think that the endgame stuff
was gonna go in, which then we had to at the last minute
be like, okay, we actually can't do this.
It's just gonna have to be the druid in the league,
effectively, for O4O.
So, um, yeah, that was kind of, uh, of an annoyance that made over that league was still fun, by the way.
And knowing that next league is going to be huge.
I mean, dude, this, I don't even know, chat.
This next league is going to be so great.
It's going to be the biggest patch ever released in the path of exile and all history.
And then they're going to do another one.
That's even bigger after that.
I, I, like, copy it by the way, which might actually do.
Do you got a wait chat who thinks one by no is gonna actually be released this year one in the chat if you think is getting released this year
Because he said it is but then again they said that was gonna get released in like 2024 or something
They'd like some crates shit was like
But then again, that's like he's saying it's gonna release this yet now and it's only six months from now
So therefore he must believe in it pretty hard because that's like not even it's like oh, yeah
Well, I've done it one year from now because you can't really tell this is like he's talking single-digit months from now
He's saying 1.0
I just thought it's mobile glasses last week. Oh, you think you think that they haven't got a bunch of stuff loaded up
You think they haven't got a bunch of the X loaded up that he even said they got the X
What are you talking about the reason they made the insolutes is so they didn't have to release it
They want 1.0 to feel like 1.0
They don't want to just iteratively release like they don't want to just constantly like slap shit in
They're doing my bowlers gate where like they say hey, you can play active one and
They can refine all the systems get rid of the hardware shoes fix the bus get the passenger tree locked in to all the stuff, right?
Without actually like spoiling the full release of the game and then they're gonna raw dog out
out the 1.0 patch and it's going to have like all the classes, well not all the classes,
it's going to have a bunch of classes and the main campaign.
I mean it's going to be insane, the amount of stuff they've been holding back is going
to be crazy.
Bro feel a lot smaller and it's interesting because like 03.0 was obviously a huge release
and then 04.0 kind of felt like a bit of a let down back in Paris and it really is just
because a bunch of work that was done didn't end up shipping in it.
So 0.5.0, though, on the other hand,
is going to feel like this actually gigantic release,
because a bunch of work that was done for 0.4.0,
which didn't make it, is now going
to be in it, plus a bunch of extra stuff as well.
So yeah, that's kind of just one of those things, I guess.
But yeah, it's sort of surprising as well,
because the larger something is, it honestly,
like the time taken to do it seems to go up by more than linearly.
Like if you do something twice as big,
it takes more than twice as long to do it.
So that's one of the tricky things we've certainly found.
Yeah, I noticed, so this early access you're running for period
two at the moment, it's not the first time GGG did early access.
I guess you recall we did it for 1.0 and 2.0 and 3.0 back,
like the awakening and fall of our earth and so on.
But those were way shorter, like it was basically like one
league's worth.
And obviously you guys will have run this for like a year or so.
And is it a year or two years?
It'll be two years.
By the time we're done, it's fixed.
So the question I have here is, this means that you're having to run early access,
not just as a beta test, but kind of as a live service, like you're having to.
When you do an update, you can't say, hey, guys, please test the campaign.
There is no end game because they want to play the end game.
Then you want to be playing it as a final product that makes money and so on.
So is it hard managing a live service when what you kind of want is testing
specific features?
It honestly really is.
And the funny thing about it is that we never intended, as I'm sure you specifically
know, they have early access last this long, like both of us were very optimistically thinking,
oh yeah, it's going to be six months. It was way, way longer than that. The funny thing is,
I think that when you haven't made a game from scratch for a while, even if you're sitting there
churning out league launches, it honestly took me by surprise how much work that is in it.
which I mean we did it before but yet it's like somehow you forget like how
much there actually is there. Speaking as a dev this is relatable. I mean the
first time we did it we took like was it six years or something and like before
we actually you know released anything and then it was quite a long while after
that before we had more than a couple of acts like all the rest of it and
everything so like you know that was actually kind of yeah POE2 just ended
up being a sort of similar prospect but it didn't seem like that because it's
like you kind of look at any like well the team's so much larger there's so much more
so it's pauses the video to ban go one second chat sorry about that going on like we've made
all this there's always pre-production stuff with like made tons of monsters we've made tons of
unique art we've made all this stuff it's like it feels like the putting it together part at the end
should be somehow not as long as it is and yet somehow it just ended up being way bigger so I
think that's been kind of pretty the sort of pretty brutal wake-up call is you know you you think
you know how to make a game and then you do it again. It's like, oh yeah, that's right.
A decade later, it's actually really, really hard still.
I wonder if this is because some percentage of each release has to go into like League stuff
and micros and other novel stuff in that release and it gives you less than 100% of the time to
like it slows down the development of, you know, act content and that kind of stuff.
Well, the early access stuff is very much like that. And that in particular is part of the
the reason why we're not doing a zero six. So, you know, like we, like,
050 is going to be the last release.
And the reality is, is that we're kind of like, okay,
getting at five and six and all the stuff we've gotten 1.0 out,
it can't be done in four months. We can do it in eight months.
But if we, but if, if we don't do it in four months,
we have to do another league. And if we do another league,
standard league program, then that's even more content we have to make because it's
not a league now, right? And so that would actually push 1.0 out even further.
This mentality where they need to do leagues, like leagues should be the last thing they
need to think of when they're doing fucking early access, in my opinion. Legit. Stop doing
leagues.
You've got this thing where it's like every single launch is effectively stealing resources
from finishing the game.
Don't do that.
Yeah. So at some point we just had to sort of put our foot in the sand and say, no, we're
actually going to get this damn game out now. If it does mean going a little bit longer
between two releases so it'll be really good though because once we get to 1.0 like not having to
they could do no league for like a year and a half two years they can do like a half long just
like a hundred down and get it just cook just cook it doesn't matter yes short term they won't make
as much profit and they'll lose money whatever but if they can make the game 30% better or 70%
and better because they have more time more effort into as you just cooking the game the
launch is going to go so much harder and so much crazier and ultimately for the longevity
of the game they're going to do better in the long run streamers like as a streamer
I should I want leagues leagues are good for me retard as a streamer I want them to do
like every fucking three months release some shit and then I just go and play it what
Are you kidding me? I'm saying dude. Who cares take it like I'm telling I'm saying the short-term take is to just keep spamming leagues at the
Whole time and then just drag out the process and then diminish
You know the actual final product, right and then as a streamer. It's good for me because like sweet as we did it
What I'm saying is fuck that shit fuck the short term looks a little long term
Just cook the best possible thing it makes some sacrifices now and then you can the final product
there would just be so much better, right?
This like extra giant thing going on in the back room
would finish it.
They don't need money.
They've got hundreds of millions of dollars from 10 cent
and they know they're cooking.
They're super profitable.
And the campaign and so on,
it's just gonna be so much easier.
Like the idea of just being able to make a league
rather than have to also like do,
like make a revamps of everything and like just crazy,
like, you know, like new campaign acts and everything
is gonna be pretty good, I think.
It's gonna like allow us to relax a little bit more
compared to what we have been doing.
because the rush to 1.0 has been pretty crazy.
One thing that you and I had done previously,
like a long time ago, is we'd often
be working on the next league, but have
the beginnings of a larger league.
Like I remember with the Sentency, for example,
when we started work on that.
I mean, that's partly because we overscoped or underestimated
it, but we essentially moved to Sentency from its slot
to the next slot and did another league instead.
Obviously, you guys, like I know Gigi won't have plans
that far out for the future because you're
focusing all on 1.0, but do you expect
that you would intermingle larger releases and larger leaks?
So I mean, look, you need to have updates
that like shake up the end game
and do other stuff like that every now and then.
Otherwise things will get scale.
So we'll actually be doing the whole like AB, AB
kind of like thing that we used to do.
It's just at the moment,
effectively what you've got going on the background
is that the B as it were is like the extra act
that you're sitting there working on.
Cause there's like a ton of work
that's going on there in the background.
So yeah, like we'll probably do that.
I mean, look, I actually, it's funnily enough, right?
Because sometimes the latency times get so crazy
that there are things being made for 1.2 already
in the pipeline.
It's like we know there's certain bosses that we need
and stuff like that.
And we're like, okay, some time around 1.2
we're probably gonna need this.
So let's get it started.
Okay, now 1.2, baby, 2.5, not even out.
We're done with 1.2, let's go.
Fine, now, so there's certainly.
1.2 is gonna go crazy.
Some longer things like that.
Yeah, that's very cool.
Yeah, I mean, it's funny because we're like,
Okay, I mean as I'm sure you'll probably remember we're like, okay, the league that's after Christmas is never gonna be the big one that has the thing so therefore, the the 1.2 therefore has to be the one and you know, like you pretty much that's how you should end up with that stuff.
That's amazing.
League of course it's got to be dog shit. Well, I chat so the one so the one on December is the crazy one
Which is by the way, if you didn't know by the way there, so I'm announcing it right now before hit
All the December releases are on the 14th voice part of XL to 1.0 December 14th
Cool, I'm calling it now by the way, but yeah, no December 14th
December 14th, I'm leaking it right now. It's leaked
Peewee 1.0 December 14th. Let's get up like Paul champs. I
brought a jayza broke the NDA. JK there's no NDA. No one's told me but that's wait
Chumlin check every December release and check the date. Oh by the way that's
different for it's like NA 13th or something or NA whatever the fuck it
is like it's like slightly different date whatever it's it's basically December
December 1X is one point of release.
Okay?
December 1X, whatever you want to call it, December 1X, any one day.
So whether it's like 10, 11, 12, 13, whatever.
411, 1X is not a date. Oh, shit.
This may just be like a conspiracy theory I had back when I was trying to work on league planning stuff.
But it always felt that the league around September was small because like my blame at the time was like, you know
North northern hemisphere people going back to school or whatever and it was always this dip like I remember Dell
One of our best leagues we ever made by by far just having such a big dip
It was like quiet and no one seemed to care at the time and I I didn't play it. That's why
It's big dog wasn't playing
Here's what it is. I didn't play deadly so big dog didn't play. It was the wow watch. I mean
It was a wow launch. There's a huge overlap between PUE players and WoW players if you don't know.
PVE WoW players love Path of Exile. I can tell you that because my real life mate who likes to play WoW loves to play PUE.
I like to play WoW, love to play PUE. You look at people like Ben who likes to play WoW, plays PUE.
You look at Exile likes to play WoW, plays PUE. There's a ton of people who like to play WoW and also likes to play PUE.
But you're allowed to play well. I'll say Peewee as I'm gold likes to play. Well, let's play Peewee
There's a million people who like to play well
Preach makes to play Peewee. He plays well. There's a ton of people who like to play Peewee who like to play well
It's just a massive overlap between Peewee and Wow guys. So you do a huge wow release dude
That's gonna cut your Peewee guys
Thought well, that's the September curse and then you've got the January February March curse
We've made it over Christmas as you say and then you've also got like a new seasonal game coming out every
week because there's going to be a Diablo 4 season, a Diablo 3 season, a Diablo 2 season,
and a Diablo 2 Resurrected season, and World of Warcraft Classic, and World of Warcraft
Season and whatever they've got going on, and Last Epoch, and how do you, like, and
then there's the GTA 6 release, right, which is just a crater where that happens, like,
how do you time all of this stuff?
You literally ignore all of the upload trash and don't give a fuck at all, and just, okay,
that's step one, okay?
old Diablo trash dog shit. Bang. Only thing that would matter for Willa Warcraft is if
they did Classic Plus. That's the only time that the Peewee guys might not play Peewee.
If they released Classic Plus, like proper true Classic Plus, that's the only time I
may actually end up playing WoW again. Otherwise, I'm not playing fucking WoW again. And I think
no one else is going to play. Like, dude, everyone's kind of, I think WoW has officially
gone bad. In my opinion, it's finally gone over the point of being complete bulk shit.
I mean, I did even play, this is the first expansion I haven't played since Burning Crusade.
I played every other expansion on every other release and I've not played this latest one
because WoW is finally complete bulk shit. It's actually, it's at the point of no return
and you know, it's, what do you call that? What do you call that? Where you get sucked
in so close to a black hole? That the horizon point or something? Yeah, basically they've
gone. They're in the black hole now. The light doesn't escape. They're cooked. The event horizon,
they've crossed the line. The threshold stays with so much going on. Well, I have to say,
we usually don't pay too much attention to the other RPG releases because we honestly couldn't.
And honestly, the community would slay us if they thought that we were delaying things just
because some other game was had a thing coming up. Yeah. That being said, like, they did it.
But that being said, we fucking retard maxed and we fucking skip that one league because
that one game.
What was it?
Cyberpunk?
Was it Cyberpunk?
And then Cyberpunk was just dog shit.
It was complete dog shit.
GTA 6 is a bit of a problem.
Like if there's a release you're going to avoid, I would say that's the one.
But thankfully, since they're not on PC, then it's like not as big of a thing.
But the thing is they're going to buy out like literally all the media, like all the things will be like anything that it's possible to spend money on, I'm sure they'll be spending it on.
So probably not a good idea.
Even just for that reason alone, it's like the same weekend as them, I would say.
Let's get it.
GGG always had the David versus Goliath thing going on, right?
So why not?
Yeah, that's the Goliath I don't want to take on, quite frankly.
Not even David versus Goliath anymore.
Like, it's like, it's crazy because, yeah, Blizzard had all that backing and they had all the money.
and they held the size and the scale, but it's efficient.
They're not even playing the same game anymore.
Like the GGA playing chess and wow,
the D4 is chickers straight up.
Yeah, that one, that one's kind of big.
But yeah, I mean, just generally speaking,
there's a lot of strategies and stuff.
I mean, look, I wouldn't launch on someone else's
really stay intentionally.
But if there's other constraints around,
I'm certainly not going to shy away from it,
just because, you know, we've got our own thing done,
we've got our own audience.
And difference.
It's just been a bit unfortunate recently how often that's occurred, like seemingly randomly.
So I don't know if someone else is a bit, you're the big dick in town now, bro.
You can slap your penis out on the table.
Bang.
And just like, this is my day.
And then everyone else can like scatter like little cockroaches and change their days.
Okay.
You just get your giant peoe two cock.
You announced that day.
Bang.
They will scatter.
They will scatter doing that intentionally.
So there are kind of two strategies for scoping release dates and content, right?
One of them is we fix a date and then release for the content that's available,
which isn't easy if the content has to be a certain size, like a leak.
For example, you don't want to release for the half finished league and say,
that's what we have.
And then of course, the other approach is, you know, take your time to get it
right and release it without a degree of predictability.
Once the dust has settled on 1.0 and you're going forward with the plan
and resources and so on, which do you expect you'll be doing?
Like how are you going to have a rigid schedule or well, it's definitely fixed the date and have the content move
but there's always has to be a little bit of you know, like some sometimes you like you can't necessarily change the scope easily as you get towards the actual release date because
the get like you what you'd have to cut whether it be so large that it completely undercuts the release or there's just like no like place you can you can sort of pick at it to easily pull it apart.
So sometimes you do end up with sort of like one week delays around that sort of stuff and this last one we did
So I mean like that was even our intention like during pewe2's early access and like we've actually improved that a lot recently with like pewe1's
Definitely successfully back on that train again and pewe2 sort of mostly is what's been tricky though is just that yeah with the the an example of the whole thing of
Having one thing that's too big and scope and therefore you can't sort of do anything but delay is all the same game stuff where it's like because we want to do it in one big package
one big package, it's then become something where it's like, you know, you don't want
to cut one league because then it's sort of undercuts the whole message. So, yeah, like
that's the kind of stuff that's been that that's been really difficult. But it was like,
we certainly strive for just like cut stuff until the until the deadline works, because
people really do actually prefer the regular updates and don't want to disappear into a
whole and just work on something for every like, I think I said it earlier, but like
it really is the case that the bigger the thing you're working on is, the more work
it takes to make it at all. So I think that like having shorter release cycles and like
releasing more often, honestly, produces more work rather than less like you really want
to be just producing things on as fast a cadence as possible.
So the larger something is, the more surface area it creates and the more surface area
creates the more issues you run to, and the more things you have to fix. And then the
more things you have to fix adds more complexity, which adds more surface area, which that's
how it works. Whereas something simple, it's got to go in a surface area and you can just
kind of fix all the stuff around that smaller.
It's quadratic scaling.
It's quadratic scaling, that's what it is.
Speaking as a dev, Chet, I can tell you,
every time as a dev, you come up with four things.
Those four things create eight issues,
there's eight issues, you fix those
and you add those things in
and then it creates more issues as a dev.
So the more complicated it gets, the more extreme it gets.
I mean, examples are like, dude, they are multiplicatively creating so much more work for themselves by adding in like, for example, those monk gloves, which just like every single love in the game has to have new affectors.
You know, the fact that every single mod has bespoke handcrafted mods for the ward mechanic.
Like, it's just, you're just creating and the more and more things you have, the more they multiply with each other and the more work they create.
That produces more aggregate entertainment hours as well as more releases,
means more people coming back for more releases.
I mean, I guess so, but I wouldn't really think about it that way.
It really is, I think, in terms of just being able to make content at a reasonable speed.
It's sort of an interesting phenomenon that I noticed with the team as well,
is that we had developers who were working on things to the...
They'll work on PeoE2 for a long time before it was released.
released. And then we had developers who were working on, on, on like leagues for P we one.
And the people have been working on P we two for a really long time, like they've gotten
out of the habit of like actually, like finishing things and getting them because like that
kind of wasn't in a release. And it actually took a little bit of effort to sort of get
people back on the train again of like, we've like, oh yeah, that's right, we have to actually
ship things quickly. Like it actually is quite, quite difficult. And I honestly feel like
a lot of the reason why a lot of larger games fail is just because they're not shipping fast enough.
You can probably make a game better and in less time, I actually believe compared to what you
get in a long time. There's something really focusing on just like having a deadline that's
relatively good. So you just forced you to make decisions instead of just been like leaving
something unfinished and just kind of sitting there. It's kind of half done. You have a deadline,
you just had to send it. You have to make the D. Is it going to be AIB? You just got to make the
decision to just do it. True. One of the issues that I felt when working on these
leagues, like this happened like 35 times and you were sitting right there
alongside me every time, was just that things ended up coming in hot every
time, right? I was still working on stuff. Like there's the story about how I
remember vividly sitting next to you at midnight on synthesis release day and
saying, hey Jonathan, we still have to like check that you're happy with how
the tile generation works for synthesis and you say, oh yeah, yeah. And you, yeah,
you've rewrote it with three hours to go to a release basically.
I was so bugged though.
It was much better afterwards.
Oh no, no, no, that rewrote.
My responsibility there was making sure we picked the safe option, and the safe option
was you like, you know, rewriting it in 4-5 minutes.
The thing is the thing is the much worse one that you probably wouldn't appreciate when
we rewrote the like a lot quite a significant portion of the database back end, literally
the nights before shipping 010 for PoE2.
Like there was figures like the word we realized something about the load testing
We're like, oh, we never tested this thing and then we change the thing about the load testing and the whole thing just falls over
I'm like, ah
Very big problem. We'll call the stuff tomorrow and then we came up with some pretty ridiculous ideas on how to improve that and
Like someone on our team literally rewrote all the saving like they added compression
Character saves as like a large ditch thing like we look very much like out code it broke just got it post before release
and it's like, okay, look, how about we tried this?
It was like a, it was a pretty crazy one.
See, it's just-
I'll just do that more, Mark.
Just code it, just code 1.0 now.
I'm certainly no stranger to that kind of thing
happening in my time.
Yeah, compression on saves is a good idea,
because that can take place on the instance, right?
And there's a lot of stuff, and they're like,
you know, the waypoint list and so on.
Yeah, maybe the way smaller.
That's a particular reason for needing that, by the way,
is because once the size of a character
is of a certain size,
it becomes larger than what's called a database page.
And once it's larger than that,
the performance gets really bad. So the POE2 characters, as it turned out, were just larger
than the POE1 ones and that's part of the reason why it wasn't like the performance
was just way worse.
Indeed. So rather than me asking what compression you're getting, do you remember the important
number here is what percentage of characters didn't fit in a page and now what percentage
to?
Well, before the test we were doing. In fact, I remember what the test was now. So the thing
we did in the test is all the characters that we had were not late in the game. They were
all like they had a lot of items and stuff like that in the Lotus we're doing
they weren't like late in the game or they have way more quest flags and the
quest flags sent them over the edge so anyone who gets like pastak three or
four or something was getting above the limits of what could fit in the database
page yeah I can have as a dev this is elementary stuff I think they can press
really well I imagine yeah they do exactly all zeroes or ones right yeah we
just added like a really like I kind of remember what compression it was but like
you know it probably half the size of a character but more importantly
know those as good against it. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool.
Basic stuff.
Where I was going with me commenting that when I was there, we never had any time to
really test stuff is, how has that been? Is it still down to the wire with releases?
Because I imagine it's hectic or have you managed to like, like has the, the consortium
with her nearest deployment meant that you've got some breathing room for testing and stuff?
I would say it's getting better. But then on the other hand, it also isn't like it always
feels hate. And ultimately, the reason for that is because if there's more time, people
want to do more, right? Like people are always going to be like, okay, like I can squeeze
on a couple more uniques, I can squeeze on this or that, right? So you end up with a
situation where people, the work always expands to fill the space that there is.
Yeah, I felt that my role there was saying no to people in the last two weeks and hopefully
you're keeping the nose coming.
Well, we try, but then on the other hand, maybe I'm not as good at it as you were.
Well, here's the key thing, being completely honest. When I was fully in charge of scope
of something, it would end up smaller, like Sentinel.
There was less in there.
When you and Mark were involved,
there were more yeses and more cool stuff was delivered.
Obviously, I was petrified about the risk associated
with so much extra stuff to test in the last minute
and maybe that led to more problems or something,
but the releases where you guys got to the side scope
had so much more interesting stuff coming.
Is that extra 10% on top is where the special stuff
is in theory?
And I've never had the guts to do it myself.
Bro, I'll be honest though, it's kind of annoying though
when they say some shit's coming
and then some shit doesn't come.
Cause then you're like, oh, like for example,
lastly for PEW2 it was kind of flaccid,
like in terms of, I was so excited for the in-game rework
and then it was just trued.
Which, darn, playing Druid,
doing the campaign over and over again,
I had fun just, I just got to the campaign,
got to in-game, quit, starting a new character,
made a new character, did the campaign again,
got to in-game, quit, starting a new character
and that's what you could do, right?
Because in-game was so dog shit,
but like, I was excited as fuck for 0.4
to be the in-game expansion.
Yeah, quit, well, I was like quit, I mean, quit the character.
instead of new character.
What means no, it didn't quit doesn't mean that I just started it.
I just repeatedly make characters into the campaign over and over again.
Well, the tricky thing is, is that the probably the coolest stuff
is this comes in the latest because you get to go on top of the things
that you already like built.
And then like you've got the actual systems working.
It's like now I was doing no log out.
Right.
I was doing no log out.
No.
What was that?
I think ultra ethical.
No log out.
No, anything runs.
It was just like, no pause, no log out, no everything.
And it was just campaign.
Yeah, that was what it was.
Right?
Yeah.
Let's think of some cool stuff.
One thing I would say about 0.5.0 is there's just a lot of the weird cool things.
You're like, OK, here's an Ascendancy class.
But look, there's a hidden node.
And if you do this quest line, then you commune with the Dreamer.
And then it unlocks the, like, modifies the class slightly.
So it's got this extra node in it.
And there's stuff like, there's just lots of things like that.
Yeah.
You know, like, there's like hidden,
it's like, here's this hidden passage on this one particular map.
And if you walk past it with a specific item,
then the room will glow.
And then if you walk up to it, the door opens.
And then inside there, there's like a crafting bench.
And then on that thing, you can take these things.
And there's stuff like, there's just the stuff like that.
Just like lots and lots of these little things.
That's cool.
So, yeah, that's been, it's been kind of pretty fun having a lot of stuff like that.
And honestly, I bet you that there's ones I don't even know about because
Michael has deceit features that he'll just sneak in like that, that I won't know about.
But she doesn't purpose, by the way.
That's fucking sick.
That's fucking sick.
Dude, I can't wait for like, dude, the campaign, if they have all these little,
all like hundreds of little mastery things that you can learn over time of doing
the campaign over and over and over again, to the point where you learn all the fucking
I mean, it's it's it'll be such a fucking awesome experience dude. I think it's a
really is
The giving players the ability to become masters of that and then learning tricks and stuff that you get the
Rewinding players who've done it many times is a good thing and it's gonna feel good and just like no
I like oh this trick. Oh that trick you just have all these little tricks
I've got those tricks in Peewee one, but I don't have them for every layout
But when I know the trick for the layout right like the dead bodies or the where the cliffside with the goats or the various like
The blood for the one guy
It's it feels so good
Just knowing like this little little trick or hack and if they do if they have that for every single zone
Where there's tricks for every single thing and you can just learn them all over doing the campaign many many times
You'll eventually just become like a god right which I think it's really cool
Because our last players should be rewarded to invest the time learning learning it all and becoming masters
I thought about this red thing.
It's fine.
It's just like cool things.
I strongly recommend not announcing or showing those of course.
The temptation is it's more stuff to put on the live screen.
We'll show a couple of them and I'll hint towards a couple of others.
But yeah, there'll be more.
There's quite a few.
So on the topic of the 10% extra stuff that can go on top,
One thing you and I tried a long, long time ago was to release a follow-up patch after
a league launch, usually after a bad league launch, with extra stuff.
And what we found at the time, at least my recollection of this, is that the players
playing appreciated more content.
You know, they read it, comments would be a bit less angry because we've changed the
stuff.
But it didn't bring players back.
And so, you know, in terms of changing the shape of the graph or the income being generated,
doing the follow-up patch, the extra 10% after release had little benefit, you know, apart
from, you know, good feelings.
But I can imagine what you're saying here is by fitting that 10% into the release if
everyone gets to benefit from it.
Yeah, well you certainly want that.
Now the thing you're saying there about like the, I mean, okay, so when it comes to seasonal
content like this, you really want to just concentrate as much as you can in the season
as possible.
However, there is a really important thing which is that you don't want people to feel
the people who are playing to feel sour about the league because that will influence the
results you get next season.
So you do actually need to fix stuff and improve it.
But it's really challenging, especially when the things that
need fixing are actually nerfs.
So then you've got the double-edged sword problem.
So there was things like, this is actually a PeoE1 example,
but it's like, OK, we had some things where the, there
were some mechanics with the breach prequel that people
weren't happy about.
And so it was really important to make sure that we got those
sorted out by the time the next release comes along.
Otherwise it would just be a bunch of people
complaining about that.
So you do really need to make sure that you're at least
improving all that stuff.
But in terms of adding more content, like more
unique or something, it's just not really going to matter.
Because most people are kind of wanting to go play the
season, and then they're done with it, and they want to
come back next season.
So it doesn't really matter much about adding content.
Like it doesn't do numbers or anything.
It's interesting as well, because a lot of the wisdom
from a lot of other game companies is that, oh, you
you need to run a bunch of seasonal events,
you need to do like all this sort of stuff
that is like a constant refrain that you get.
Like if you look at the mobile game space,
it's like they're like all about the events,
like it's just constantly,
like you have to do something every week,
whatever to get people from leaving.
Fucking hate that.
Like, oh yeah, this Friday we're doing double loot drops
in this one dungeon.
Or this weekend we're getting 50% more XP.
Or this Wednesday, this double goblin's turned on.
Oh, this fucking is a, psh.
Dude, fuck that.
It's just FOMO artificial missing out.
They're trying to get as many hooks in you
to keep you playing the game so you'll buy more shit.
Dude, fuck that.
Raw dog, front load.
Put all that shit in you can on the release.
People play it.
People are enjoying it.
They'll buy some shit.
When they're finished, there's a hopping off point.
They stop playing the league.
And they had a good experience.
And then guess what?
They don't feel like there's all these artificial hooks
saying, keep playing because this is an event
that you're gonna miss out on if you don't do it.
And then you just come back next league,
excited, refreshed, ready to blast.
It's the best design.
But it's just not our own at all.
Like our goal is like give you a satisfying experience.
They leave you come back later.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's honestly the hardest thing to convince people of
and like even a lot of the time
people believe they understand that they still don't really.
Like, you know, there's that talk that you did at GDC
that people commonly reference
where we talk about this quite a lot.
Yes.
And the funny thing is is that like people all reference that
talk about it and link it to each other and all that sort of stuff. But yet when I talk to these
people in person, I still feel like they still don't actually understand. They're not really
willing to commit what they really need to commit to to really do that. Like in particular, most
people are incredibly petrified of economic resets. Like people just actually, most games,
just don't have the balls to actually reset people's programs.
So pathetic. It's because normies, it's a cognitive bias where people don't like the idea of losing
something but then what they don't realize is it's objectively better and
it's much more fun on the long run exactly just but they just think one
step wait you're saying the stuff that I have I lose and then it's just this
innate feeling of saying no I don't want that like the evolution is not that
that they're like don't protect what you have keep don't lose make irrational
decisions to keep what you've got because this is like just built into us
it's built in and you just got to do it you just got a raw dog the people and
say, fuck you, this shit's deleted. Like, hey, look, you got standard league. No one
gives a fuck about it. Um, and then you just restart everything with the new content on
the new season. And then what happens is they enjoy it and people don't, whether or not
they consciously understand it, they just have more fun. It's just a objectively better
way of designing a game like, like these ARPGs straight up.
And yet I would say that it's like one of the major reasons why Path of Excel one still
is going today. Like if we did not do that, I just don't think Pathetic's going to possibly
have lasted as long as it was.
It's a bit of a shock to the system to new players, but once they experience the joy
of doing a leak start and then the joy of doing another leak start where it feels fair,
then they're addicted.
It does take a little while to get into, because I mean like you'll start, of course,
people will be, you know, you get the whole thing, oh, we need to skip the campaign. Like
people start to ask, you know, I don't want to have to do it again if I already did it
and that kind of stuff. It's like it's really important that you don't, because it's so
important that...
Just do it deep water, just make the most dog shit campaign ever and then just give people the immediate thing to skip it
Like I'll thank God. I'm finished the campaign. I got to watch this in a minute. Cool. That was epic
No, I'm never gonna do that shit ever again
So they're so stupid the skip campaign and these are the most braindead motherfuckers out there and
You should not be making the game for them at all because it's like some weird braindead minority
Although it's insane because I feel like the average player almost feels like they they want that but what they realize is they don't want that
Just make the campaign better
Which is again, dude part of this L2 campaign is like the best RPG campaign that I've ever seen so far
Just the first the first few acts now they're on act 3 still has a couple long bits that feel a little bit like a slog
But that's massively improved
Otherwise easily that the current acts that are in the game
Amazing and the fact that they're making even better by adding in this mastering mechanics where they have all these little
Easter eggs, and it's not people saying yellow paint yellow paint
Bro visual fucking storytelling like putting trails of blood on the ground
They're like because there's a giant fucking beast there are dead animals or dead bodies outside certain buildings and not outside other buildings
That is not fucking red paint. You have to know to see that. That's visual storytelling
It's not like, oh, it's the same yellow paint that's like on every door, and I just follow the yellow paint.
Oh, this is literally...
Bolts on the ground, and my character's paw finding to the location.
No, it's not yellow paint, it's visual storytelling.
It's adding in a mechanic that...
It just looks like the environment,
but if you know, if you have the mastery to understand what it means, you can read that,
and then you can use that to your advantage.
It is no fucking yellow paint.
Yellow paint, anyways?
Go suck at John Penis.
Everyone feels like they're on a fair playing field.
I was like, part of the reason why you still didn't get new users at all.
It's like, part of it is that one still gets new users, not like a lot,
but we do get them and so on.
Yellow paint is not mastery. Yellow paint is yellow paint.
Yellow paint is literally just go to a yellow paint.
There's just arrows in the ground saying, go there.
That's like, you learn the mechanic.
Oh, there's yellow paint that tells me exactly where to go.
And I turn my brain off and I just follow yellow paint.
That's your, no, this is like, there's going to be
150 different ways that indicate which way to go.
But there's all different things that you have to learn over many, many times
that you will not pick up on the complete majority of the time that you're playing the game.
And it just looks like a body of the environment.
But when you know what to look out for, when you've mastered that zone and you figured it out, then bang, you're like, oh, wait, what the fuck?
The snakes are actually like the little critters that you just normally ignore.
They're actually snaking in a way in a single direction and they actually points towards the snake to him.
That's fucking, that's so sick.
And the only reason you're like, that's obvious, that's obvious, it's because the fucking Dave told you about it, RETURN!
It's because the Dave told you about it, it's not fucking yellow, PINT!
That's part of the reason why, um, uh, part of X1's still good.
You know, I actually found a metric recently that I'd never actually looked at specifically.
Um, or at least hadn't for a long time, which I maybe you'd find interesting as well.
Which was that between the last two pewee one releases even though they're approximately the same size
Only 40% of the makeup of the next league launch was from the previous league launch
Really and with us where those players from past ones or they was good thing
They weren't most of the players weren't new players
Mm-hmm
You get only 40% of the people actually play from one league to the next
Mm-hmm
I'm saying is that a huge amount of people are actually they'll come back like three or four leagues later and try it again
And that kind of stuff that's actually a lot of that going on as well. So
So, you know, you end up with a situation where you see a Tartifence league and you're like,
how am I fucking hate Tartifence?
But all you see Tartifence, you're like, hell, yes, I love Tartifence.
It makes sense that certain people might be attracted to certain leagues and then another
guy sees a league where it's like, kill mobs in a circle, that's my type of shit.
And they're going to be attracted to something that's like kill mobs in a circle, which I
think that's the case.
If you're going to go for a POE one launch, you might only get like 10 or 15% truly new
players.
And then it's like 40% of people who played the last league and then the rest of them
matter of people who played like several leagues ago.
That's fascinating because in the past,
we had efforts to enlist new players, marketing
to new audiences, you have the efforts to return the users
from the last one, but there weren't necessarily,
we didn't have a strong way of reactivating people
from past, past leagues.
And I wonder, are those users watching the live stream?
Like when you announce new league,
does everyone tune in and then they decide
if they're playing or not?
So I have a feeling that is what it is.
I think why it's sort of important to have a variety of different leagues with different like fields
Do you know what it is? It's every league is like a food item
There's like one leads a pie right like a look at it's a pie that has got
It's like one of them Christmas pies full of like fruit and shit and with cream
Okay, another one is a pizza with
fucking
Salami on it
So the guy likes that pie he might love that pie, but he might hate the slimy pizza
And then another one is like oh this one is like a cooked roast chicken
We lost ever much roast chicken, but there's still vegans out there who are like, you know what fuck roast chicken
And then a son that's really bespoke some very bespoke thing
Like you know, you've got like blight league, which was like I don't know what the fuck that is. It's like
anchovies
Look, it's that's like anchovies on rice and you know in most people like oh fucking see that's disgusting
They'll fucking discuss the fuck anchovies on a rice
The fuck is that but it's not like and there's a rice are inherently bad
It's just a particular taste that that person has for that league
Certain people will come back with certain things and others and that's just kind of fine
Like it's just sort of nice that you can do a variety like that
And yeah, like I guess you'll see you'll have some tentpole releases, right?
Like Settlers was like a really huge one that like I think I'm larger than normal
amount of people came back for, which is why it was so large.
I mean, there was a whole thing about how PeoE2's release was coming up and
there's like various other tailwinds that were good for it.
Yeah, also to bear in mind with Settlers, sorry to interrupt, but because that was one
that you and Mark did, it was the 10% larger than the first ones.
And it just presented really well and like it was just it was just it was just it was just a really good league like that
So I think a greater than usual on people can bet but the reason why I
Was actually looking at this at all is because I was wondering like I saw the number what it was for pe2
And I was kind of disappointed it and I was like well
I should look at what the number is for pe we like that in terms of like people who come from I went from zero three
Oh to zero for and then I was like, okay, but what was it?
What is it for pe1 and I found the pe1 on the board actually lower?
And I was like, okay, this seems like kind of strange.
But as I said, I think it's just because P1 has got such a large base of people who,
you know, like who come back every few leagues, that's the reason why it can be like that.
Yeah, I imagine for a very infranchised player who knows the game backwards, they really
want to play.
If the release comes out and they're visiting their grandparents that weekend or something
and they kind of can't play as much as they'd like to, they're like, sweet, I know there's
another one in three or four months, I'll play then.
But it's also part of the thing of like running seasonal as opposed to ones where you're constantly
running events is that like, you know, the downside is that if you don't get people on
that weekend, it's quite unlikely to get them later either. So, you know, like you're putting
all your eggs in one basket there. But I still think it's this strategy because there aren't
really any games that have lasted as long as PeoE has. Like, you know, most of the other
ones, in fact, like, what is another PDE game that has lasted as long as PeoE has? It's
like, they're actually incredibly rare. There's a few, I think, of World of Warcraft.
Yes, that's like that shit is on life support, bro.
Well, there was some life support.
Fine, does that count as PD that that that that game is such a like so far
outside my understanding that I don't even know if I can qualify that on one
way or the other.
Like that's like a sort of a completely incomprehensible to me.
I have no idea what's going on with lines.
I had a conversation with the developers a long time ago, like 10 seven years ago,
10 years ago, and I'm sure they won't mind me mentioning this now because it's been so long,
but the designers I spoke to had this concern that when they add content to Eve online,
the players expect it to be there forever, and therefore they can't experiment with
interesting stuff, and they express direct jealousy at with our leagues, we could introduce
something crazy. And then worst case scenarios, you break the game because it was harvest, right?
And then you add it in. What the fuck? He knows what he did. He knows what he did.
Look at that fucking smug face. He knows what he did. Why the hell did you put that shit core?
Well, sorry, dude. You ruined it.
We do actually end up bringing most of what we put in back. We just get to tweak it along the ways.
Yeah, doesn't it happen to be like a millstone around our neck for so long?
Yeah, my rough one was to take to to have the league out then to take it away for one league cycle.
Yeah, for one league shot and then bring it back after.
Right, because then when you bring it back, it's okay to come back with changes.
But we don't always necessarily do that. It kind of comes down to a little bit of like what's going on
But I think the other thing as well is like especially for the pewee2 content we're making because we're sort of filling out the core
We saw there's definitely expectation all that stuff to stay around which probably won't be the case post one winner
Like after that point it'll be like the leagues are kind of like temporary more explicitly
Yeah, then we decide which ones want to keep on not but it's like rise of the epistle in the endgame for example
I can't remember. Yeah, yeah makes it pretty cool actually and then you know
than the new one because now they've all got everything on the Atlas. There's like giant
abyss cracks that are like on the on the generated Atlas. And then you can close those by running maps
along the lines. So it actually kind of works out being a similar mechanic to memory lines in
PoE1. We like run along a thing. It's like a giant continent scale of abyss crack and then you're
closing it one map at a time. So that was kind of cool. I remember when you pitched the the look of
the Atlas like having a 3d like landscape that's in all directions back when we were working on it.
And like at the time I was so busy with other stuff and P.O.E.1 that I didn't really like watch it develop day to day.
But then one day I go downstairs and check in with you and there's this insane 3D rendered like you know infinite Atlas thing and it's very cool what the team can do.
I actually had a question about this. You have to indulge my technical question here.
So, spoiler, that endless though, with the, like, thulking in-game and, like, without
enough uniqueness and handcrafted shit, it feels like some weird, auto-generated, slop
trash.
Now, where the, the duration of the hitting with handcrafted content put in that's fixed
at fixed locations, that gives everything a sense of place, I love that.
I love what they're doing with it, right, and I think it's fucking cool, but, like,
the release that we played, the in-game endless that I played, it's just, like, auto-generated,
slop trash. It's like a shell. It's got no soul. It's got no soul. But now, I think
that this patch is going to do is going to give it soul. By having all of the fixed zones,
we're going to have soul added to that atlas and it's going to feel like these locations
have a sense of place and you can fucking go there and like this is where you do the
various mechanics. I like the idea of it. So I'm excited to see how this new version
works I'm really check because ultimately right you can look at like all this shit and be like wow
that's really cool that that looks good that potentially like theoretically will be fun
but until you actually play it you don't know like and the the the the test will be get to end game
play the fucking end game is it fun to play the end game is it not fun to play the end game
are you do you get bored or do you not get bored and it's so it's if you don't know when I'm
really really excited to try it out so in this correct me if I'm wrong in the new in the new
announcement, you have like an infinite ocean that's part of the Atlas. So does that mean
that there's just a portion where one direction is water and the other direction is land?
Right. Um, like, okay, so my memory is this stuff was being generated procedurally using
like overlapping pillar noise clouds or something like that. Okay.
So when you're, when you're generating a something that's infinite in size, you need to be able to
have a way to generate each block independently of the other blocks. So you need some way of
I'm saying, okay, if I can generate this,
I don't have to know what was next door
in order to be able to generate this.
So that you can generate any arbitrary location.
So games like Minecraft and stuff work this way.
You can kind of just say,
like just for an arbitrary replacement on the map,
okay, here's a place I'm gonna generate.
So overlapping noise is a really good way to do that.
You effectively just take like a bunch of like
trigonometry functions like sine and cosine and stuff.
And multiply them and add values, things like that.
And then you get an overlapping one.
end up with a cloudy looking layer. In the case of a game like ours, which has biomes,
you can look at it at different heights. If you imagine that there's the mountain biome
as a height map, and then you've got the plane's biome as a height map. If you overlay them
two on top of each other and you say, okay, wherever the planes are higher, there's going
to be planes, and wherever the mountain's higher, it's going to be mountains, you can
effectively imagine how you can get interesting shapes developing from that. It's effectively
just a bunch of overlapping noises where you pick whatever the highest one is and so in
the case of something like an ocean where you want to have like you don't want to have
just like a flat border on the edge but you still want to have it you know like blend
into it with some interesting shapes all you have to do is just say okay there's like a
slow blend where we blend in the ocean biome from zero to one over like a certain distance
sort of interpolates it in and effectively interpolates it in but what happens is because
all the other things over like various heights. The ocean just becomes more prevalent to do
the point where it's for the only thing that's there. So you get quite like a nice border
line so long as you can sort of define where the edges and some sort of like fuzzy way like
that. And so then you end up with an infinite ocean. But then on top of that, we want to
have islands in the ocean. So then once you're in the ocean area, there's like a different
set of random noises that overlap to create islands. And so I think there's an eye, I'm
100% certain about the exact way, but there's like a thing that creates the island shapes
and I believe it uses the old noise functions for the biomes in order to generate the different
shapes of the islands.
Then what we do is like if it was forest, we instead make it a bunch of palm trees so
that it looks like an ocean island and if it was mountains, it'll instead be, you know,
that have like snow and stuff on them, instead be like a thing that looks like the ocean
in the water.
So like there's kind of alternate art variations effectively for the biomes that are on islands
in the ocean.
How do you control the distribution of the islands and make sure they don't collide with each other?
Well, they can, in which case you just get a big island.
We're not generating islands, we're just generating a noise function that happens to produce island-looking shapes.
So there's a sea level somewhere?
Yeah, it's a sea level, but it's the same as the other thing, right?
You just take whatever is the maximum value of two overlapping noise functions.
Elementary.
Which parameters are sort of looked about, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so the mechanic doesn't need a discreet island?
No, no, no, it doesn't.
So basically the infinite ocean, there's effectively blocks
that you explore.
So you send out the ships and then all of the,
you know, sort of given block using a log book
and then anything that's there will be explored.
And then that will include, like may include islands,
may not, but it definitely includes at least maps
that are like, I mean, so when I say islands, by the way,
there are like islands that are like one map pin,
which is like just like one map.
And then there's larger islands that like have a structure
them that have like different biomes and stuff on them. So there'll always be at least like,
you know, various maps to do when you do one of these, but yeah, it's just kind of fun to like
go from island to island. And we do a few things like, you know, the distances between maps on the
islands are like relatively small, the distances on the ocean are quite large, you get the feeling
of traveling like, you know, between hopping around between island chains. That's really good.
The vibes. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited. So prior to me leaving GGG, one of the problems that we
We struggled with lack of executive bandwidth, if you see what I mean.
There was me and you and Mark, Eric had left a couple of years earlier, and there wasn't
enough time to do everything, like the POE mobile wasn't getting the attention it deserved.
And I solved this, but...
Do not say that cursed combination of words POE mobile, yo, just get the delete key and
press it on that shit.
you believe it now. Making the problem way worse by leaving, but left you guys in a bad
situation obviously with regard to, you know, your time being further stretched. But how
was it me going these days? Like I hear that Mark has found people to, you know, run an
internal peer-reward team that he can supervise as opposed to having to work on it himself.
Yeah, yeah. So, um, obviously there's like a lot of things of like company structure,
but I would say that one of the things... It's Mark now, you know? By the way, I didn't
No, because I was thinking like is Marcus. Is he just an employee just gets paid like a wage and then there's these guys just
He just they must pay him a lot, right?
Let's pay cuz Marcus kind of hack and Mark was like yo fuck this. I'm out piece
They'd be kind of cooked
He seems to mark seems kind of important now. It's credit by the way, that's kind of nuts if you think about it
He went from Q a
All the way up to like lead game designer
You know, which is pretty nuts
Mark of it. That's that's big dick, right?
He went from literally playing PWA to getting hired as a guy just as QA to a guy who gave gave ideas to a guy
Who designed games to one of the major lead game designers and he's just a dude who played video game who'd like to play or about cooks
Did Rob, you know Rob from chat. He used to play rift
Online with Mark. They used to do PvP and PvE together
And then, yeah, Rob, Rob, the rest ran from chat. It's one of my mods. This is a way,
this is before he works at GDG. Nope. Yeah, rough on the blog, dude.
There's like a lot of this sort of company level stuff. You can honestly like not worry
too much about it. And like most of it kind of goes away. Like I don't actually know that
like, okay, so there are probably things that are getting left by the way, like by the wayside
here that probably mean that you know there's like various intangible benefits that we might
have otherwise gotten and kind of being left by the wayside like I'm sure some of the like
random deals you're doing and that kind of stuff like sort of probably mattered but um
honestly like I try to focus as much as I can on just the game development like and not
really too much on the sort of company running stuff.
There are people who like do operations and things like that you know that can handle
things but.
I like that he's just a passionate dev he just wants to design the game and make it as
good as he possibly can make it and he's not like selling it out the wazoo not making
that gigapay to win not trying to monetize it by 15 different fucking that's that's good
It's really good. I like that. Yeah, it's honestly not too bad
So I really try and focus on the game as much as possible and anything that's kind of not that like it's not directly gonna be responsible
We're making the game better. I try to just make sure that someone else is handling that I understand
So in the managing director CEO position you have decision-making authority your responsibility the direction of the company
But you don't want to be doing like pretend CEO job all day
You just want to make the decision and move back to the game for sure for sure
So I mean like I basically have like a sort of half an hour meeting every morning of like here's the sort of company things that have come up
I try to limit everything to that so that I'm not spending more day doing that kind of stuff
It's really easy to just like spend a much time on that stuff
Mm-hmm. It's just the questions. I don't know like how much value like you really get out of that
I mean there's things that are important right like we're deciding to do things like excel calm
It's Rob is in the chat right now best friends with Mark. I'm joking. Hey, yo, that's him, bro
it's Rob Chad. There's a lot of things to go on there, you need to hire people to work on that and
use all this sort of stuff. As I said, I try to really focus on the game for the end of the park,
because that's the part I actually enjoy. And, you know, I wouldn't want to, you know, like,
basically have my job be not that part too much, because otherwise, you know, they don't be wanting
to leave, I suppose. So, yeah, being able to do the fun part is I suppose the thing that actually
The issue is this is what happens the game designers like dude, they they these fucking suits
Infest the company and hollow it out from and then all the devs leave and all the brains drain and you get left with this fucking soulless
Infinite churning thing that's just trying to make as much money as possible and all the guys who are passionately
So like having someone who's got a man of principle like Johnston at the top like you know like Chris Wilson at the top
who just aren't CEO and ease but they maintain control and they just delegate some bozos to go do some shit and they say yeah
No, no, no yeah, and then go code the game. That's how you get a game
That's how you get a company that can scale up and not complete dog shit and become inshittified. This is like, you know
The it's like the game devs that are like actually pop off, but still continue to be good for example from soft
Where they have their companies popped off and they're actually scaled up
But they can still make bangers because the guys at the top actually have principles and they actually are
People who like to design cool shit, and they're not sitting there thinking like let's just like fucking let's just replace everyone
was suits and then just optimize money and then everyone in fucking cares about it quits and we saw the
Cyclops allowed to the point where there's it's completely soulless and hollow and then we just like abuse people who are fans of the franchise
And we hire them and pay the minimum wage
And then we work them like slaves doing overtime pumping out slop
And we just run this IP into the ground and that's how you get these in shitified fucking games
Where's you know people like these goats right here these goats? Oh, I pee we are still good to this day
And my pee too still fucking good
straight facts
What did you keep doing it?
The ultimate threat someone brings you paperwork and you're like I can do this paperwork for you
but consider before you ask, because if I become unhappy, this all falls over.
Right. That's why I just tried to stick on the game. So probably the
the two things that I kind of work on the most in terms of the areas is like the environment side,
like making the new acts and areas, and also working on the new character classes.
So I'm doing a lot of that sort of forward looking work. Whereas Mark tends to be doing the
things like doing league work.
I mean, I still work on the design.
I mean, the last league that we made, the temple one,
I made the simulation for that.
So I'm still like even occasionally doing some coding.
But a lot of the time,
because Mark usually does things like the monster design
and boss design and stuff like that.
So he's like often handling that kind of like
that moment to moment gameplay stuff there.
So tell me about the simulation stuff.
Because I remember when we did the initial incursion league,
the first temple a long time ago,
that started with us like, I may have just like, you know,
made a fake memory here, but we're like cutting up,
that's a paper and laying out a temple on the carpet
on the ground and like, we've got a board game version
as it were of incursion.
And then you then coded that into a simple implementation
that let us simulate it for them.
Like you did a really good portrayal simulator,
I remember, that was actually like a power horse, that thing.
Actually, there was a similar to that one.
It's a similar to a possible implementation of a trail
that you could run.
Yeah, sort of vaguely maybe you remember about that.
Yeah, I mean, but look, doing that kind of stuff,
doing the simulators is exactly the kind of stuff that I actually quite enjoyed doing.
So I did the same thing for Incursion as well where effectively what I did is I just took
one of our tools and just made like a thing where you can open a screen which is just
like here's the effectively card game version of the temple.
And there's a lot of things that you don't really appreciate whether the gameplay is
going to be good until you actually tried it.
So there were just a lot of decisions that I thought I knew that I wanted it to work
a certain way and then when I actually tried it in the simulator I realized immediately
that it didn't.
Yeah.
So, and there was like a lot of things where we sort of eased up on a lot of the rules and
I made it easier to connect things and that sort of stuff and I don't think I would have
done that if we had not been having simulated early.
Because a lot of that stuff, you know, like if you, if I was to just put a league like
that straight into the game, like it's a technical league like that, I think you really would
like you'd be, you'd be in the last few days and realizing kind of like we did the synthesis
that we needed to change the generation for it.
Like, so this is an example of a game of a league
where we didn't make a simulator for the sort of mechanics of it.
And that meant that, like, because it sort of has to come together
before you can really play it, you then, you know, realize that,
okay, we actually have to change quite a lot about this.
So, I mean, that's the reason why you're doing it.
And really, anyone should do this and everyone knows this,
but then at the same time, it can be tough when you're staring down
like a relatively fast league turnaround
and then actually budget time towards something like that.
Yes.
You know, like, it's easy to think, okay,
we understand what we want this to be, we can just make this and hope that things come together, but
it definitely isn't as good when we do that. Yeah, I remember for Delve and Prophecy I made these
gigantic Excel spreadsheets where using... I'm looking... Yo, so it says, the only thing you
developed is a nasty U and it should look a bit... Yo, my cock developed into an engorged penis.
when I saw your mom's titties last night.
There's a lot of geek points here using visual basic for applications, which is what the script excel with.
It would implement those kind of stuff and every time you hit refresh, it would populate down like a
It had a list of world areas for a run through the game with how much solve like you'd collect each one
How many delves that let you do and given the number of delves and average how much progress you'd make
And then I'll let you say things like okay by maps
I'm at this depth and therefore we have it so the catch-up mechanic went to that depth minus 10% and so on and
Yeah, as you're saying it made it so much easier to have a separate thing to do that because otherwise if you're relying on the game version
It's ready, you know three days before release and have fun balancing that yeah, so you did the
the gameplay simulation of that thing and then I think I did the the actual
Generator for the the map
which is like the endless one, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And that one came in handy because I ended up using the same thing for the card game
at XLCon, the last one.
Yes.
So, you know, it's kind of handy that I've written that, because I mean, that I could
really easily take that and turn into that, which ended up using the answer.
Speaking about XLCon card games, do not confirm what's happening at this XLCon, because I
understand it has to be a surprise for all of us, and as an attendee rather than a host
I am looking forward to.
Yo, Tino, it's going to be there.
Have you had time to do planning of what's
happening with that kind of content?
So I do have an idea for what I'm doing with the card game,
but I haven't started writing it yet.
The card game is kind of one of those things
that I sort of do in my spare time at home.
So I'm not going to be sitting there at work doing that.
And I haven't had as much time during the 050 cycle
for this kind of thing.
So after 050, my plan is to go and start, you know,
as my little hobby home project, get the card game
sort of doubt. There's also other XLcon planning going on. We've got broadly like, you know,
we know there's things like the crafting benches and all that sort of stuff, like the map system
and stuff like, you know, things like that that we need.
I did not do the card game last time. Do I do the card game this time? I did not do the
card game in the last XLcon. I just gave my cast to Ebi and just let her pop off and she
did it. Yeah, Ebi got some handouts, Jett, okay. Let's talk about Twitter. Ebi got some
fucking handouts I gave her some handouts I've because I'm handouts okay
I you know I'm saying I wonder I could because considering I'm so credit
slayers by a two right considering I'm so credit slayers by two I could
obviously easily destroy whatever XL con hard card game they would have give to
me like raw dog blind ethical I probably make the most powerful deck and I'd
probably win instantly so I'm gonna twist it speaking as jet I never lost I
Only one okay. I'm sts to God. I'm not even dude. I might he just
Me dude, I've got so much you don't go check. You only you knew as a dev all the shit. I've been doing
Like in the background that I don't talk about that you don't see bro if I had the time I would actually just go to 18 easily I
Would go to 18 easily I would easily go to 18
In my dude, if I want to go 18 on every class, do you think I couldn't I could easily do 18 on every class on sts2
I could chat. I swear to God who doesn't actually exist, but still I swear to him
I could go 18 on every class in this year's to if I wanted to
The people are saying that I was saying I can't do that
Don't understand. I said I could do 10 out of 10 in APA if I wanted to I'd try the first time I try and do it
I say as soon as it first time I try to do it if I try to do it
I can do it, but it's just don't I just don't want to right
In that time committed the minutes commitment required to go to the town everything would just take so long
And it's a progress the tears and everything chat would hate it. No one would enjoy it
It would be one of the things where I could easily do it. It's just one of the things where I don't but anyway guys should I do the
Excel con card game
Potentially live-streaming it
Potentially live-streaming the Excel con card game. I don't know that but they've been that fun because you had to have a camera
You wouldn't really see the cards. No, there'd be a UI for the cards or anything. What there?
I've even used the monster to see for half the boss fights, mate.
You're coping, mate.
You're coping.
You're coping so hard.
Ah, no, Abby's coming to this next XL Con.
I'm going to be walking around the convention a lot, and I'm going to spend most of my time
at the hotel, actually.
Hmm.
Hmm.
So there's like space planned out at XRCon for that, but you know the exact mechanics of the game and has what the league extension is for
is not something that other people of
know about yet.
There's this second layer to the card game design which is to do with the availability of humans to run it because obviously the staff love
engaging with the players right like it's a highlight the fact they get to go and play the card game with players
but it's tiring and
you know as we found out with the first one if you stick a t-shirt on someone and hand them some cards and say go engage with the
the place for six hours in a row, they, they,
Yeah, well, that's why last time we made it so that people have two hour shifts of wearing
the t-shirts rather than, so we'll do that again.
Plus we've got more staff now, so we can actually have a smaller number of monsters for, you
know, with, like, with half time shifts, so that works out okay.
That's very cool. Yeah, it was, I mean, I, I don't want to be in that position again
because it is overwhelming to be that swamped by people in that position, but it was one
of the highlights of the last X-Holkons is getting to talk to players who, the people
who were like fighting me and you as it were, because we have the highest t-shirts on, were
people who had mastered the card game. They'd arrived with the goal of doing really well
at the card game. And it helps that there were rumors that the, the small one was offering
$2,000 for the card game prize. I remember those in the room, Calandropins, you know,
anyway. So the people that came up to, to fight the card game against me were people
that were so passionate about it. They made it their identity. Like there was, there was
this guy, lovely guy actually, he was at the Ultra VIP party who had pre arranged card
game strategy to like buy the starter decks that came back off people who didn't intend
to play. He had some amount he was offering them and I don't approve of the real money
trading of cards.
Dude, he RMT'd, bro. What? The Ultra VIP RMT, Jesus. Banned that guy from the card game.
Cheated the event, but it did mean that he was able to like, you know, get through the
first couple of levels of the card game slightly faster and get to the monsters that weren't
quite as swarmed as the other ones and it was it was like a league launch.
Well, I can get you a t-shirt for the next XR Conquest. You can at least go for some
of the time.
Shape it! Returns!
Whatever you need me to do, Jonathan. Just so you can help me a bit more. Yeah. When
you were announcing the, I mean obviously you were still working on it, but when do
you plan to announce the schedule of what's happening at XR Conquest?
Oh, it'll be a little bit later. I mean, we already talked about broadly what's going
to be there but in terms of the exact schedule it's a little bit later because we need to
get all of the talks and everything from what's done for us and then yeah, Zeb.
Probably a little bit after OFAO.
Well they announced the date of ESL Con, right?
That's announced yet?
It's announced.
Remember we knew the dates but I don't know if it's announced.
I don't know if it's announced.
The date of the dates.
Yeah, I know what that is.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
I had a question about the league designs that we were just discussing.
I'm ready for days.
Obviously, like you and I know how leagues used to work when we did dozens of them for
we want. But these days, is the process of making a league for POE2 different than the
way that we made it for POE1, bearing in mind like how POE2 leagues get integrated into
the end game? Like, are there any big differences there?
Not really, to be honest. It's pretty much the same stuff because at the end of the day,
the formula that we worked out in terms of all the things you need to have in a league
is still very much the case. You know, the only, I would say the main difference is,
is that the level of narrative complexity is higher than what we previously had, and
all that quality of the events you're doing, that kind of thing.
You want to have a storyline that runs through it, because you've got the progress indicators
now, right?
Yes, but it's not just that, it's the overall quality of what you're doing just needs to
be high in order to match with the rest of the game.
So you can't really half-ass it the way that maybe we would have, like some years back.
There's just quite a lot going on there.
That narrative stuff actually takes some of the largest amount of time because it requires
a lot of different departments that are all moving together to create that stuff.
There's a lot of timing things and all sorts of stuff around that that make it really
hard. Yeah, one of the why doesn't go live in a mansion. Okay, for starters, he's living
in like a two story house in like a really nice neighborhood. And he has a deck that
surrounds this house. And he's got these insanely nice fucking chairs everywhere. And these
like shale longs and things you can set out with a huge massive open fire pit on a fucking
second story deck with a massive as big grill that he can cook like 50 states on at once.
It's basically a mansion
It's basically a mansion. So it's you saying he's not it's a mansion
But like his house to be worth at least two and a half million dollars and a minute no more than that
I'm thinking when it'd be like three mil plus
three mil plus house
So, I mean, oh, yeah, you you are literally ducking him retired
What do you mean? I'm not doxing him. Oh, yeah, okay
What fucking every single house where John's at has two story with a fucking dick on it, bro. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about bitch ass
Dude, what are you talking about? Oh my god
Oh, I've seen that I've seen yes I've seen a guy's I've seen this image I've seen this
I've seen this image. Yep, that's an image that exists guys.
Hardest things about five hours is so because there's a fake way the narrative content of
you know five leagues in one release. You know like in the 70 there's narrative events
It just takes a really long time to get all that stuff working.
And is it just one of the hardest things for whatever reason
to actually make good?
Early leagues in part of Excel 1 like Anarchy, right?
You know, there's a rogue Excel.
That's the league or invasion.
There's an extra monster that's hard to kill.
They were quite simple, obviously.
And it got more complicated as time went on.
You know, budgets went up, quality standards went up,
and so on.
Do you think there'll be a situation later
where these early POE2 leagues seem really primitive and simple
compared to the monstrosities you'll be producing
in five years from now?
Well, it kind of already happened with the 010 leagues,
but it's a somewhat different reason, right?
Because they were all made together.
So I'm going to say what effectively,
like a lot of what 050 is,
is bringing all of those ones up to the standard
that we've now effectively got
for what a PoE2 league needs to be.
And, you know, I don't necessarily foresee them
getting like too much larger,
because like on some level,
there's a limit to what you can actually do
like a four month time period. So yeah, like I think it should honestly be like
relatively similar. And like to be honest, like the Pee Wee One has also got that sort
of level of stuff going on with a lot of its leagues, you know, like, I mean,
especially things like settlers. So, you know, like, there's just a little bit of
that coming on just like the overall studio, like the kind of stuff that you
kind of stand as that we have as a studio which is higher now than we need to be to.
I wonder if, like if you've got this process where you come up with a league idea, you make the simulator and you try the league idea out, which is a good opportunity if you don't like it, you can fail at the simulator stage rather than once you've made the thing.
Have you considered having like dedicated designers working on multiple leagues at a simulator level, where all they're doing is getting approved ideas that then get made sequentially later, so now it's time to do the league and you implement that, but league B and C and D are being prototyped and iterated on at the simulator level in the background?
I guess I've got a few concerns about that. So one of them is that not every league is the kind of league that should have a simulator.
Like a bus is an example of a league that's just like, it's not like the mechanic isn't.
I mean, there's, there's balance simulation in the sense of like, you know, you need to work out like, you know, what the right number of the holes is and like, you know, stuff like that, right?
There's things like that that need to be done, but there's not like a simulator in the way that the same way that occurs would be.
Yeah, that could be prototypes for fun testing.
I'd really say that only every other league is the kind of league that needs to do that
And that's probably a good thing because they attract different types of player bases
They have an actual league mechanic for one which actually requires thought and you know, they're good one and they have the one where it's like
Your map has more monsters and you kill them in a circle
And they're like yo, that's a best league ever
You can take your monsters in a circle
Yeah, and then they design another one
It's like fucking comedy torques at the wazoo insane crazy fucking portrayal board fucking 500 thing and like nicely
It's kind of mad but back to the hey guys
It's mobs come out of a hole and you kill them and look this is the best way to get
Back to a new one which actually like fucking good design, but then they're like hey, it's internal league you press a button in the mobs drop more
Loot oh my god. This is the best look ever like good
People just want more mobs and more loot, bro. That's it anything as well
But it's like you know, you don't even it's like and people like
Do them up or do them up. How did they come up with this you press a button and the mob drop more loot?
But I fucking said that it was a dog shit league by the way the only thing that was good about it was
Combinators the ways those those sort of simulator tight heavy type leagues a lot of them actually less popular when they get first release
And then there's someone who tend to be more beloved later once they're understood once they understood I've seen I've noticed
Yeah, but um, Traveller's League. What was I going to say? You had another point about
some of the little leagues. Right, right, right. But the other thing as well is that if you, it's
really actually hard to make a league before you, in advance, because so much of what you make needs
to be a response to what the community cares about right now anyway. So like you wouldn't really be
able to say like, I mean, obviously this is like, you know, you're going to need some uniques, right?
You know, you're going to need a pinnacle boss, you know, you're going to need something like that.
that, but like in terms of what the mechanics are and what the game feels like it's missing,
it's sort of hard to know about that in advance.
Yeah, people are more crafting as a name.
So it's obviously makes it a little bit hard to really do that stuff in advance.
The other thing as well that I think that is a bugbear that I think some game companies
have is that, so I mean, we put everything into our leagues, and what I mean by that
That is like, we don't come up with like, here's a plan for like the next like, you
know, years of content or whatever, and then like hold things back and kind of like, okay,
here's what we're going to release this thing right now.
It's like everything we come up with.
It's Blizzard 101, by the way.
It's cool.
We just do it in time gate, everything, everything kind of schedule, we're going to, oh, we come
up with this idea, we're going to hold it back for the next expansion that we can monetize
it harder because we're going to already pay for this one.
That's blizzard what I want immediately and
But there's always more ideas that you can have like if you can go back to the well and do it again
So I think that actually some game companies have run into problems where they like plan out this content schedule
And then that's what they stick to and that's that they end up not really
Not really adding enough and that kind of thing like some part of the reason why leagues feel fullest because like you know
If we have an idea we just want to do it immediately
And that does sort of lead to
You know like a somewhat hectic schedule
But on the other hand like you don't get this feeling of like missing us and we actually almost made this mistake
for 0.5.0. It's a little bit complicated to explain because we kind of changed the plotline in order to not have this happen.
But we were going to have a situation where the boss that we were going to have was going to be one of like,
it's like, oh, but you haven't actually fought the true boss yet kind of thing, and it's actually a really crappy ending.
And I'm like, I actually don't want to be in a state, even if interstitially, where you haven't fought the boss that you know is coming in the future.
future, you know, like it's actually really bad. Um, so, uh,
another large action RPG franchise that did that, I think.
Okay. I wasn't thinking of anyone in particular, but effectively, um,
like I actually think it's really bad to leave hanging on something like,
you know, like you get it all prepared for something that doesn't happen.
It's like really crappy.
So I said, we almost made that mistake in zero five. Oh, and then we changed it.
Um, like we had changed quite a lot of plotline stuff in order to make that
better. Um, so, uh, yeah, that's just, I think it's important that like,
you see the goal you get to the goal. So like, don't do something where it's
like oh here's the series of like four bosses and then like you're gonna fight
one of them in this expansion and then you're gonna find the second one in the
next expansion that kind of stuff like you actually really want to like if you
if you're gonna do it then just do them all at once he's talking about like
that John Angel guy right so they're talking about just giving us a penultimate
one but not the actual final guy because that's not going up to 1.0 and then
everyone feel cucked and madge so yeah I do W W decision-making and do them like
don't cuck people people don't like getting cucked people don't like getting
They don't like getting edged like they're like that you got to send it like
Talk about the others or something
You know like it's okay to be like here's one and then like you don't know about the others at all
They're not hinted at they're not like a thing but then later on there's more
But like don't you like getting cut go play default bro. I think it's just a really bad idea to make players feel like
You know like I have to play later. I can even finish the story. I'm obviously, you know
We're nearly access we haven't finished the story because you know the story my son dumb just sort of unfortunate
but at least we're not doing it wherever we get,
wherever we don't think.
Yeah.
Your point about throwing everything into each release
definitely resonates.
I remember a number of years ago
when we were still finding our cadence and so on,
I had this pipe theme of getting a league ahead
or getting half a league ahead, right?
And we quickly ran into the issue that if you do that,
you become out of touch with the, you know,
Reddit will decide two weeks before a release
what needs to be in that release.
And if you don't have that,
if you haven't been reading the tea leaves just right,
you know, beforehand, then.
Dude, don't listen to those bozos.
Don't listen to those fucking bozos.
You feel off base and out of touch, so.
And then the other thing I remember you talking
to me in detail about at the time
was that if we have extra content,
releasing it in this expansion
and just making more extra content later
is probably the best thing to do.
Always valuing the today player
rather than making our lives have an easier time later on.
I was trying to overproduce it, I think,
and the reality of what we did was the way you wanted
where we dumped everything in each expansion
and they had more stuff as a result.
I mean, it's not like we can never produce things ahead,
right?
I mean, for example, like the yes that we're making, right?
Obviously, a bunch of work has been done in the background
and the background should make that happen.
But it's honestly not the way I like working.
And it's like-
We are getting cut by the insolutes, but I like that.
I like that.
I like getting cut.
I would hate it if, you know, it got from point five
and then after point five, we'll get to like point,
I like that they're actually saving up a little bit
the actual, you know, story and the main axe for the release so then it actually
feels like a release. I like, I like a little bit of cucking, like a little bit
of cuckolding, you know, just a tad, you know, because and we know it's all the
access, it's a label, because it would be, it wouldn't, it would be lame, right, if that
had like 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 0.5, 0.9, and then the 1.0 was like, okay, it's like, we
fix some bugs, we made some optimizations and 1.0 guys, 1.2 is out, but you want it
to come with some big dick shit. You want 1.0 to be like a pinnacle patch, right? Like
a fucking release.
The reason why I think I find working in early access stressful, because you've got multiple
things on the go at the same time rather than being able to just throw everything into one
thing. There's a certain clarity you get just like being able to work on one thing.
patch. So I honestly, like, yeah, I just find the these long pipelines to be quite, quite
stressful. Yeah, I know what you mean. So I had a question. So early on, when we were
discussing starting Path of Exile two, one of our motivations for it was that we felt
that because Path of Exile one was dozens and dozens of releases, and it was harder
to get new players, right? Like jumping on a train has been going for 10 plus years is
difficult for some people. You know, the game has a reputation for being complicated. And
So Path of Exile 2 was an opportunity as an onboarding point.
And so my question is about accessibility.
And I don't mean dumbing the game down or anything,
but I just mean in terms of making sure
that it's not too complicated for new players.
So you've got this tension where, on one hand,
you need to be a worthy sequel to Path of Exile.
And that means for many people, being more Path of Exile
than Path of Exile is.
But it's also a thing where if you are too opaque
and complicated for new players, obviously they'll bounce off it.
How have you found trying to manage that?
And do you think you've been successful at it?
Well, I think that my opinion is probably a little bit different from a lot of people,
which is that I don't even...
I think that Path of XR1 being such an old game is in itself the accessibility problem that it has.
What I mean by that is that, okay, like, this isn't to say that Path of XR1 isn't complicated. It is.
I don't think the complexity is necessarily the reason why new players don't play it.
I think the main reason my new players don't play it when they're not going to play it is it's like, well, this is a game that came out a decade ago, you know, like they feel like they've kind of missed the train.
So I don't think P.O.E.2 is necessarily, I mean like P.O.E.2 does have things that make it more accessible, but I wouldn't say that those were necessarily done because we're appealing to a different audience.
It's more than because we just thought they were better designs that it's just better.
That's logically, but it's it's it makes sense. It's like for example some of these Atlas redesigns that we're seeing
They look like they're more basic, but there's actually more choice
So it's just a more succinct design
Now I'm yet to try it, but I like the idea behind it in general for everybody who plays them
And I think the main reason why someone is gonna play peer we to over pewee one is literally just because it's newer
But there is like a big factor for a lot of people, right?
Like there's just people who are like,
okay, well I never played people one,
I'm not gonna get into it now.
It's like really old.
It's just the way a lot of people will see things, right?
But hey, POE2, it's a new getting on point.
I can play it now.
And like I'm getting it on the ground floor
and then I'm gonna play it.
And that's just gonna make the audience bigger
just from that alone.
So it's, I'm not like I'm looking at the,
I'm not looking and saying I want to appeal
to a bigger audience.
I'm looking at this and being like,
this is a sequel that will appeal
to a bigger audience who never, like, you know,
Many many people know about Path of Exile now and the only reason they're not playing P1 is just because it's old
So literally it's like if even if we literally did he's got a good point
There's like shit that I ain't ever watched or any of it done because it's all
Like that's an old game. I'll just wait for the new one like I'm just tired. That's so true
That's the that's he like you think that's stupid logic, but it's actually not
Dude, what is that emote bro? What the fuck is that emote? Why is he holding a peppy that's coming, bro?
And then he's also got a salami dude. This is fucking weird dude. That's a weird dude. I don't know if I like this thing. I
Don't know what the hell do we ban this even if we can't see more he had appealed to exactly the same audience
I think we just have a bigger audience from that reason alone
I never played Demon's Souls because it was the oldest fuck and I was like whenever they
did the remake version I was like oh yeah I'll play the remake I'll do the new one I'll
give it a go.
Don't say that to say that I don't want to make things more accessible because I mean
it is good to make things better it's just that I wouldn't be like like I never want
to be the person thinking I'm appealing to a different audience specifically because
I'm not I'm just making the game better and at the end of the day the audience I'm appealing
to really still as myself. And whether I think in some, so it's like things like the way
the support, the thing, I use this example all the time, right? Like the support gem
system is just easier to deal with than PeoE2. But it's not like I wouldn't have done that
in PeoE1. Like if I'd have thought of the way of that working back there, right? Like
it's just that, you know, we just didn't for whatever reason.
Yeah, it's kind of amazing how well PeoE succeeded despite having this system where
if you're a new player, you have this really complicated thing where if I take my boots
off I can't cast Fireball anymore, why is that?
If I'm a high level player, if I take my armor off to put a better one on that I've found,
I have to spend a week getting the sockets and stuff perfect again, or however long it
takes.
I have my mind back in the pre-3-0, but you have to, you have to, um, butts with sockets
quite a bit in order to, in order to have equivalent, and it's one of those things that
every player at every stage of the game has to understand, I need to be considering sockets
with my items.
I remember a guy in the P1 and just being like, what the fuck is this dog shit?
What the fuck is this? Wait, the skill isn't on my character? Like, innately?
Like, I'm not picking like a guy and he just has skills?
The fuck? It's a gym? The skill is an item? Why is the skill an item? Why am I sucketing that?
What the fuck? It just blew my mind. I thought it was so shit. I thought it was so dumb.
I was like, why doesn't the character just have the skill?
And anyway, then I started to, and then when I started to realize, like, oh wow, the support augments it.
And like, the way that you could link up the skills and like, design your own skill, it was like, wow, it's like, build your own skill, fuck it.
And I, and it slowly grew on me, at the point that I fucking loved it.
And I was like, this is fucking, I remember, I remember like, linking up, uh, what was that shit called?
Uh, Blade Cortex.
With like, Spellico, and just being like, what is this fucking crazy?
My god, it's like
Gets 20 you get 20 stacks back on the day you could get 20 stacks
And then once you had 20 stacks you walk up to the you'd be next to the boss you walk up to him
The game will even lag out sometimes and then the guy would just die
Whatever it was it was a lot of it was a lot of stacks. It was a lot of fucking stacks
But I do remember that initial friction was crazy.
That initial friction of just understanding the gym system, the sockets, the colors in
your gear, the links was just like, what the fuck.
But then when you actually understand it, it's very basic and actually kind of easy,
but it's just like that onboarding process is not good.
You know something that's cleaned up really tightly in part of XL2?
I've been quite pleased with the progress of watching Early Access so far from my vantage point.
I've been seeing really cool things about the game.
So I wanted to say thank you for doing a great job with it.
I think that what PIWI2 has grown into is far bigger than we, I mean,
both games grew into far bigger than we imagined.
But PIWI2 is such a unique identity of itself.
You know, it could have easily been PIWI1 with better graphics and different sockets,
but instead you've made something that feels like a very modern action RPG in a really good way.
Thanks.
Yeah, you're doing a good job.
Well, thank you very much for having the time with me the the the student
The student surpasses the master. He's like Jackie Chan, bro
Chris Wilson like Jackie, and you're doing well, son
See they were partners
Thing is Chris Wilson ultimately did meet up with Jonathan and hire him so Jonathan was if you don't know
He was like the young guy at school who was in crack decoding and he was at the coding prodigy
Chris was kind of like the ideas guy. It was older. It was like, yo Jonathan, you want to work on a game with me?
That's how that's the law. That's the law
Damn bro, holy shit, this guy's cracked the coding. He's way better than I am and he's like fucking four years younger than me or something
And the guy's like, yo
Join join me join me
That's this that's how the story. I watched it dude. I watched it. This is this is I watched the law, bro
I watched it. This is literally the law Chris found him
He was this Jonathan was a young child prodigy coda guy and now marks
the
Jordan's guy that he's got is it the other Jordan's not mark is not coding. He's just games on the other was over
He's today. It's been really interesting talking about this stuff, and I hope the viewers have found it fascinating as well
Sure. Okay. Thank you very much. Oh, you're welcome
Well, thanks for watching this video. If you enjoyed it, please like and subscribe and I'll see you next time
W interview Chris W interview
Do another one do it do one do another one. I'll watch it always next one
W and like this is the boys. He was already am subscribed to his e-chat
Very pockies very pockies my doggies check comments check comments
We check once it's like seeing my divorce parents talk
Very nice Johnland to give an interview to a fan of his game. It was like watching Shepard interview the elder
It's a suspiciously good timing Chris
Those guys should make a game together true
Come on back brothers in the next time. Yo, what the fuck dropping the symbol of Q&A is wild. That's big
That's big dick. Why did he do that?
Why did get that so annoying? It was so easy did that bro
like he could have just waited until it ended but he did that hi Jonathan how was
your day I had an interview with a youtuber nice mom dad we've been back
in the same house again this is the camera since lots of syndrome and talk
in an interview ever do you know what as you notice that his cadence was actually
just more chill more relaxed he was still saying like a lot but definitely
He seemed like he was just chilling with the boys,
like a halfway through, he was like chilling.
Yeah.
This is by far the fastest, super awkward,
the super friendly and caring conversations
they've ever seen.
It started as, I think it was weird
because they're like two friends,
they've known each other for like the majority
of their lives, and then they were doing it
in an interview format, and then once they started talking,
they just started talking like friends.
Yeah, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true.
Very puggies, very puggies. Anyway, very puggies, very puggies. But it's time to de-dive, Jack.
14, 18 juices are in the fridge.
There is, brother. There it is. It's time to de-dive.
Oh, wait, see, I'm both tedious, right, sir?
39 years. Could I get another welcome to the circus?
Welcome to the circus.
Welcome to the circus.
Only Quinn would get stunned locked over a freaking beaver. I can't.
Meanwhile, Quinn has to ask Chat to learn basic game mechanics.
Speaking as a dev, what are you on about?
Messig extracted from the D4 subreddit about Po2.
The funny thing is that most of this systems is usually just convoluted for the sake of
it and can be easily made more comprehensible.
But then PoWood lost its flare of elitism and they can't have that.
Does it great?
How much lead is in the trees around your joint? Oh wait, I didn't hear the sound of it
Brett was a breather doing it. Yeah, true. No that look
No two will go hard chat before touch it
The thing is
You can use you what you can do is you can distill something right and you can get it and you can make it more
So sank and you can distill it again and distill it again. It gets to a point where
It's max it's it's cannot be distilled any further without reducing or trading something off
And that's the thing uh ggg aren't willing to you know trade off to like dumb it down
And on top of that you're gonna cook a bunch of people who are already playing the game now
I'm the same people on service. I think you can distill a lot of the systems in p1 and actually make them a lot better
Guess what that's what they're fucking doing bro. That's what they're doing
That's what PUE2 is, bro.
It's a natural evolution, bro.
We need diving.
OK, anyway, yeah.
34 months of God gaming, good takes and receding hairline.
Sure, bro.
It's open like that.
All right, bro.
I'd love to see a squat toilet in America as we eat Taco Bell
and have explosive shits all over the entire floor
because you can't aim hot snakes,
just machine gun noises and liquid no-cell
over your entire bathroom floor, straight mess.
14 months blasting dude from behind.
Congrats and the LSF post.

70 Months WTF Never Acknowledged Once, My Streamer
K-Man, as someone who's only played D4 for about 50 hours, is per worth getting into,
hoping for an actual answer not some troll shit.
Yo, this guy's a hater, bro.
Three years, sir, brozo!
Do you think it's unfair that people are upset about no swords?
After all, they did show that cool purple sword in the teaser,
knowing for a while that people have been waiting for swords.
To then just say, oh, whoops, we didn't realize people would misinterpret.
You what? Is he shooting my sword or what?
Is he shooting my sword or what?
what the fuck he's shitting in my soda
where'd he go? where'd he go? where'd he go?
my fucking god dude
how long is this fucking tedious going for bro? what are we doing?
why is it going for so long? I'm waiting for this fucking end to skip tedious
I can skip my phone by the way, you didn't know.
What's this? Skip.
How Time Flies.
See if I can skip, bitch.
That's a function I made myself using Tasker.
Pretty cool, right?
Jesus, it's a tasker that goes to IFTT which sends a webhook which activates a thing on
my streaming computer which triggers a skip command.
As a dev.
Quince, whenever that was an event and about, Dono plays, what is going through your head?
Pride?
Sadness?
Some shit that I've heard like a thousand times that means nothing to me.
What are you even on about?
What are you even on?
What are you even on?
What are you even on about?
out like it's just like I've just heard it literally I just heard it as I mean
time that just means nothing just slop I'll be honest a lot of the looping
Jesus that have heard a thousand times it's some sort of white noise that my
brain it's like a signal that my brain can just cancel out and I almost don't
hear what's crazy is this I went back to watch a vaude from I can't really
I can't tell you why I was watching this part, but I was watching a part of a game that I played a long time ago, a while ago.
And I was like, holy fuck. How the fuck does anyone watch this? This TDS was so cancer.
And I was just sitting there like locked in in the game. I was locked in in the game.
And the TDS was just so cancer. But you could tell I didn't even hear it.
And it's just like, damn, that's a viewing experience that some of you have to deal with. Holy shit.
Shit.
Ummm...
Yeah.
It's bad, people- so it's like a third party, someone who's not me who needs to watch.
Uh, like they need to watch...
The stream, and they- like only mods who are like not me.
Who also aren't brick, to just skip a TTS when it's super cancer.
Love- I love this part.
Fuck, I love this part of the song.
Fuck, Cyberpunk was such a good game, bro.
Holy shit, it was the only release that was complete dog shit, but the man they mastered
that dude in the fucking OST, bro, and the vibes were on so hard.
Hi.
Legit, if you've not played Cyberpunk Game of the Year edition, whatever the fuck it
was, Master release, like, re-release, so good.
Legit, Cyberpunk Strider was as good as Witcher 3, if not better.
After they fixed it.
Ah, you know what? Only cause Gwent exists, I'll put Witcher 3 just a little bit over.
Only cause Gwent, I'd put Witcher 3 above. Only cause Gwent, I'd put Witcher 3 above.
But only by Smidge. If Witcher 3 didn't have Gwent, Cyberpunk would be here to watch it.
Okay, anyway guys, this is not what we're watching.
partly why we made this. So Diablo 2 is probably my favourite game of all time. At least it's
the game Before Path of Exile that I've spent the most time playing.
Yeah, there's actually quite a wide variety of gaming tests in the company. I mean just
today we were talking about how people have been playing the new Civilisation Beyond Earth
game, and some of our team have been playing the Legend of Grimrock 2 game that came out
recently. That's a good game. But we generally find that when a new game comes out you'll
have three or four of the team playing that particular game, so you get to hear a lot
of opinions. You know, for example, one of our developers, Rory, spent some time playing
The recent Borderlands pre-sql that came out and so anyway, yeah, anyway
Retire content reveal
Return of the engines content reveal boys. We need to have in this jet get your potent okay wait this is a spoiler
Or just go fatty launch a game noodle head move other to food permit Gabe zero zero
He just got a guy's know what image are you guys like that old or no?
Like imagine there's like a leg like here like there's a guy like here and there's like a leg right here
I messaged a guy I saw gaping whenever I saw that the guy I messed him up. I
Would not wrestle us. I was like this a dude coming out of that like I was like damn. He's fucking coming out of that crack
Like it imagine this okay, and then like the guy the guys arms are like this see that
Yeah, you know you guys know about this
Yeah, you guys who knows that literally called goat see dude
Look at that dude, and it's like I mean apparently so at the VIP party
They're talking about how they used to go to each other on their grinding and games computers
So this is probably like one of these repressed memories from one of the artists and that's how he came up with this
Yeah, this is Chris. This is from Chris Wilson himself. He's talking about go seeing each other
So yeah, I'm just trying more. I'm adding more to the picture here
But he's gonna get memory. Holy shit
Like look at that, bro
And I'm like
Jesus fucking cross okay anyway guys, that's disgusting
Hi, I'm Jonathan Rogers game director on Path of Exile, so let's get ready to fucking
P308!
Welcome to GGG Live!
We have a huge amount of stuff to share today, so it's gonna be a good one.
Twist traps are enabled on today's LiveStreet.
Not anymore.
So you'll be able to claim the Red Queen's font hideup decoration by following the instructions below.
No drops.
Okay, so with that out of the way, time to roll the trailer for Path of XL2, Return of the Ancients.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Those in darkness!
Once they don't...
Now return.
Oh, it drops just a lot.
By their add drops.
This guy's crazy what is that that guy's so sad
Oh my god look at that ship!
You become one!
You are going to be stupid to get out of there!
Oh
Fucking
Now I'll see how the story ends.
God damn!
I mean, that's fucking PogChamp.
That's fucking PogChamp.
No, I get it.
That's fucking PogChamp.
Anyway, now I'm gonna pull a series frame.
Now I'm gonna pull a series frame.
Now I'm gonna pull a series frame.
back once you get down it wasn't great
okay so I batch it is the the new fucking in-game no thing that pops out of
the ground and you killed and it like skips some shit we'll go we'll deep dive
that later but that's what that is we don't like that it's agent protocol
whatever the beast is getting summoned I love like super ancient old shit that
came before that you've rediscovered that's cool
Behold the First Edict
So this guy's like some legendary super weapon
I don't understand, isn't he on our team?
Isn't he supposed to stop the cataclysm? Why are we gonna kill him?
We had to kill him to stop the cataclysm
They said, explain why
It's an angel, he's the divine
That guy's a sec looking bro, that guy's fucking sec
That's a sec vibe bro, that's a sec vibe
Imagine once we get Paladins, dude.
Okay, so new in-game quest to Origin of the Biddy, that's the payout.
I'm gonna deep dive that.
What the fuck is this?
This is like some Elden Ring shit.
This is like that one Elden Ring level where there's that stupid chariot motherfucker
and that one zone where you gotta like roll onto the side to avoid getting hit.
Right, that's what that is.
What the fuck happened that could be a bad idea back there.
Okay so this is some sort of stood in your in-game areas.
Yeah like what the fuck is that?
It looks crazy dude.
Amazing animation.
That's that annoying boss looks like they reworked them.
the dodge of the all pack the dodge of the all pack
new in-game quest so this is the ritual right?
this is the ritual we work
so let's have a look at it so you've got mage but for a total bounty
mageblood
rerolling retrollers has some no cost the first time monster sacrifice of a 12th is a
25% increased tribute
controls new map cost to reduce tribute and then mageblood
Just get a mageblood, bro
I mean this boss this boss just looks sick. I mean it looks like this one a mog d4
with this right? It seems like they just want to mug default with this. I mean it's sick.
I'm excited. This is a cool way because there are just so many times that you get these bosses
and you just like see the top half of the boss and he's like halfway out the ground and that's
just how you find him. It's like some sort of Katava shit. This is a cool way of finding a big
dude. I hope it feels good to fight. I hope it doesn't feel like that colossus guy. You know?
The Kataver at home guy. Oh, I mean it's gonna be interesting to see how this fight plays out
It's a breach quest
So chat
The breach thing people are saying like it's exactly one to one breach. I think it's only jewelry based on the Ziggy D chat
I think it's only jewelry
But, we have to say, but it seems like it's just jewelry crafting.
That's it.
Which is a bit of a, you know, jewelry handling.
And currency, yeah.
Breach reworks, as in, breach is just PoE1 breach, which I like that, by the way, fuck
the PoE2 breach.
I don't remember what the fuck the PoE2 breach was, but it was dog shit, bro.
right here I've done this fight about 32 times now it's okay okay boss fight I
wouldn't say it's business I'm boss fight
delirium quest thing
You can't kill a lord.
Dude, that shit where it was like, you'll map to 20% delirious, you'll map to 30% delirious, you'll map to 50% delirious.
That seems way hard, by the way. That seems ridiculous.
Right?
This is this here is straight up terraria vibes you get to send a little immigration and this is a media has landed
Bro, and there's a new or available in it shit. This is just straight up one to one terraria
Dude the remnant encounter rework.
The thing that is so tiring, bro, with expedition is not the fact that you had to like put some
shit on the ground.
It's the fact that you got to read it.
It's like, oh, this one says immune to like cold.
This one says overwhelms fizz.
This one says disables, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, and it's like, ugh.
This one here where you just like play some of the remnant and shit, you just open up
thing click the best reward seems a million times more chill a million times more chill
but where to see maybe the root because I didn't quite understand the root combinations it seems
like it's brain dead and you just kind of pick the best thing from the list but you know maybe
there's more to it and you actually have to think about it I hope it's not too complicated because
it's too complicated in a way where you've really got to think about each time it's going to be annoying
because then it's going to be back to the thing where it's fatiguing to do the mechanic in your
maps because you have to read too much.
You know.
We'll do that later though, don't worry.
Now, you have to kill the birds, isn't it?
So she's got new mechanics because she didn't do that before, right?
Am I tripping?
Basically they don't want to splow us inside the meteorite, but isn't this a giant meteorite
crater?
Like, am I crazy?
That looks like a giant crater to me, and that looks like exactly like the spider boss,
and then it's just part of us inside the crater.
But maybe it's not, I mean, you know, I don't know.
Maybe it's a mini one.
Maybe it's a mini one, and then it's the big one.
I think not like it's your last continue the search see what you can find
Yeah, I need to remember about that bomb mechanic because I remember shit about it, bro
I just remember I didn't like it that much
That's all I remember about the bomb mechanic. So yeah
You can enter we're gonna have to like dope big D drive that shit again
It says 15 new bosses and pinnacles. What the fuck does that mean? 15 new bosses
So that means does that count bosses ported from PLE1?
Must do right then wait does it mean 15 pinnacles right or?
Does it mean 15 pinnacles?
Zero of 15 what does that mean?
They can't be 15 pinnacle bosses like what there's four pinnacles, but I think it's 15 total for those pinnacles
Right?
They say four. Yeah
That's a weird person
Yeah, we're the fuck are we?
Okay, so wait this I thought I was like kind of excited because I thought thank God that was passenger tree is like
Like, um, you know, they had, you could just like choose the various end games you wanted
to do, but then it turned out and it showed them on the side.
Oh yeah, I mean, wait till we get a bit of shot to de-dive this.
The way you get everything is kind of cray-cray, like, I mean, obviously, but then you get
to choose the nodes you want, so...
I
Thank you got the crow on your team bro, the crow is on your fucking team
He looks kind of unpowered, bro.
I'm gonna lie, this guy looks okay.
You missed this somehow even though you missed this from the trailer.
What?
What?
What do you mean I missed it?
Shields are unique only shown on the website.
I didn't miss it, I saw it.
I mean, I saw like a million new skills.
What are you trying to say I missed?
I don't want to confuse.
Say shield throw.
It's in the trailer.
I don't understand that, right?
Wait, what are you saying?
That's fucking cool.
I watched me to punk- I did not punk down at all, I mean all the abilities, there's a thousand abilities they showed, it's like I can frame by frame every ability but I'm not going to do that because there's like twenty-five of them.
Dude, it looks cool but you know, it's one of the things we had.
Um, guys, I'm focused on ethical melee abilities.
So as you can see, there's just so much going on in Return of the Ancients, it's hard for even us to keep track of it all.
Now we promise that this one was going to revamp the endgame and I'm very excited to talk about it.
But first, we've got to talk about the league, so to do that, I'm going to hand things over to Mark.
Hi, I'm Mark Roberts, Game Director on Path of Exile.
Now, for those of you who are new to Path of Exile, each time we release an update, we also release a new league.
Not only do we have a new economy, but we also introduce new content through the campaign,
pain, which gives you a fresh play experience right from the start of the game, as well
as new mechanics, storylines and end game bosses.
In the runes of Elder, you will encounter a man being attacked by the undead in Clairefell.
After saving him, he introduces himself as Farrow, a young blacksmith trying to bring
back the ancient art of Esamite runesmithing. He has been collating his discoveries in a
a tome and is keen to show you how runesmithing works.
By inscribing symbols on these ancient ezomite remnants, you can create all manner of old
magics.
Unfortunately, on doing so, the corpses of the nearby undead are revived and infused
with some of the latent power, making for a difficult fight.
After defeating these monsters, Farrow realizes that Runeswithing is a dangerous business,
and he is going to need the help of someone a little more marshally inclined to discover
these secrets.
He lends you his tome and asks that you note down anything you discover when you return
to him.
In each area in the runes of Eldor League, you will find a remnant.
And as you approach it, you will notice that some symbols are already present.
Because like that one's logged in and then you do it to have this item?
Nah.
Miles is going, can I be shocked or chilled?
All damage can shock and jail.
Bro, I swear to god.
Okay, he did say there's not some shit like immune to vis.
They already said they don't have those ones.
I hope we don't have to pay too much attention to these, like, the ones that are really,
really significant, like, they didn't really highlight, like, Jesus.
Ugh.
It's going to be so age-bar if they have, like, reflected in there or something.
I swear to God, they've got it up put.
That's even more insidious.
It's like, there's reflect in there, but it's just like one line over one of the runes.
And some are waiting for you to fill them in.
Depending on which symbols are already present, you'll have different options for which eyes
items you can create using this magic. For example, if you combine Tempest and Lightning,
you can create an Orb of Augmentation.
What?
But be careful.
The symbols used to craft the items also empower the monsters around the remnant,
who will be revived as undead to fight again with different properties depending on what runes you used.
So, if you use a fire rune in your recipe, the monsters will be empowered to fire.
Or, if you use a moon rune, lunar beams will rain down as you fight the monsters.
After the fight, break the remnant to receive the item you crafted.
There it is.
As you get higher level, the fucks of one is locked in.
Feminist rune of spinning. Feminist rune of agony. Feminist rune of draining.
Interesting. It's going to be like all damage can poison a lot.
You will start to find remnant with more slots for more runes, allowing you to-
Gloves? Okay, so wait. Gloves, 8% increased cast speed.
Craft rarer items.
As the number of slots increases though, more waves of monsters will be added, with each
wave being powered by more and more of the runes.
This can get pretty dicey, because some of the runes can have powerful effects.
No little Depew is so- I can't handle it, it's so cancer.
Like the Oath R-
A monster summons Elris, which will cause one monster to be nominated as a leader, spawning waves of minions.
The leader itself will be invincible, but killing its minions will deal damage to it
Is that gonna confuse me? Well, like it doesn't specify that right? It just is a monster some of their lives
Is that good? I feel like we're gonna be hitting that mid like home. Why isn't it dying?
Not a while
I mean, I don't even see it.
Raider Kassel removes the random modifier and removes the random modifier, minimum modifier
level 35.
Some recipes can get pretty large, requiring 6.
Uncuts go to the little 20, Uncuts go to the little 20.
Damn, okay.
Okay, wait, Breath of Elder, Eye of Elder, Passion of Elder, Betrayal of Elder.
We don't know what that shit does, but okay.
Or even eight runes.
Categons of Epiphany, Creativity.
But don't-
Are those medic mod ones, I wonder?
Sorry.
You won't have to remember them.
Pharaoh's RuneCrafting Book War.
Game 2, Druid Paros.
I don't remember what Druid Paros is.
I play Druid Hardcore.
I don't remember what it is.
Does anyone remember what that is?
Is that that weird ass? Wasn't that like some weird off...
Wasn't that like a unique item thing?
Like a little seed thing.
I remember it was on some sort of like some unique I remember seeing that
Like what a random item thinking oh, was it like cosplay or something? It's like a low level. Yeah, I remember this little tells me that's bitch
You say brain frogs except I'm remembering exactly the item
I'm remembering it's a mod on a unique item
So you say brain for where most you guys don't even know what the fucking is so
Bitch ass and I've never played it before by the way. I've literally never played it before
I just remember seeing it one time and been like, oh, yeah, that can be by what oh look at skill speed like I said
Oh, who would I guess? Oh, what are your brain fog by the way?
You don't remember it's a literal unique mod and it's fucking speed, which is what I said it. Well, yeah, I'm
Yeah, shut the fuck yeah, I ain't got brain folks no more record all the option
chance to gain wait, whatever it is when you get ready to show she can additional for each other gave pretty potent
It's allowing you to simply pick which one
Bows 50% surpassing chance to fire this fire
So that stacks additively right?
So you can go to like 150 and it's like 1.5
So 50% of the time you'll shoot an extra 2
and then sometimes you'll shoot 1
It's pretty cool
When you want to craft
Given the existing runes of
Turn away this 10% chance for a slam
Skeletons casted out to cross an additional aftershock
Interesting, ooh, ooh, slam maxing
They're already on the remnant
To expand your knowledge and to allow you to craft more items,
Farrow has asked that you keep an eye out for signs of runic magic around Reclost.
He wants to document anything you find in order to rediscover the secrets of Isamite runesmiths of old.
The first of these can be found in Ogham,
and reveals to you an ancient secret buried deep underground.
The runic magic which the Esimites believe to be their own is actually of Cal Guren origin.
That door looks so clean though, yeah. Too clean. Thousands of years ago, the Cal Guren's came to
Ray Class to find sources of Viricium, a metal on which engraved runes allow control over reality.
Farrow is determined to learn these ancient days.
There's a little fork thing, a little tuning fork thing, it's sick by the way.
It's got like, what are that forks shit? It's just cool, bro. Bangs that shit.
Starts on some crate. It looks just a cool ass thing.
And gain mastery on the map.
If you can bring him overrissium, he'll be able to use it to smith power into any armor
granting you runic ward. The power harness by the Calgurans.
That's great, so low level it's explicit upgrades.
Jet, low level, bang, you just gained 29 life.
High level, it's a trade off.
Since ancient times.
Runic Ward is a new resource that protects you from death.
Should you run out of life, your Runic Ward will kick in,
sustaining your body until your life can return.
It effectively acts as an extra life book.
Of course should you take enough damage to run out of that?
Yo, is this the buff to life we if we need you it's Rinnick. What is this it?
Is this the buff is this it?
The leech gonna be happy. Oh you guys yesterday by the way when I was trying to explain what leech was
So how do you guys like not understand what I was saying?
How could it third let's third do we really okay guys?
Leach is now a conditional flat region. So they are arbitrarily deciding a number
that is the maximum that damage scales off, which is going to be an amount like
100k, 1 million, whatever it is, and you leach a percentage of that. So basically
they're going to decide a number that says okay 1,000 like per second is the
maximum leach. Now you can scale that up with you at 100% increased leach that
could be 2,000 like per second, but it's a flat number. So you're effectively
scaling a flat amount of region that's conditional on you hitting that's what it
is that's literally you're saying wrong but you're retarded right when do this
headless during the ziggity interview that they are deciding in arbitrary
number which will be the maximum now what scale with your max HP it will not
scale with all these other things it's just like you just hit for as long as
you have for that damage amount which all gg builds will hit for that damage
amount right all gg builds will instantly get lifelich cap and whatever
that cap is is a flat number. So it's going to be something like whatever it is. He said
a full and missing character could do his head to people back in like two seconds or something
right. So it's going to be around a thousand. This is it. This is literally how it works.
The fact you don't understand this is kind of funny. They're deciding a number which
I don't really like because I like leech scaling as a percentage of your max HP and you can
have like leech instances that could exist and then you would get max leech. But I mean
I guess it's that's the person who's understand how leech actually works in PE1 and I just like that leech system
So I'm used to it. This new leech system is literally check. It's a conditional flat region that you have to hit to use
That's what it is
Providing you do providing you they have a GG character bang you hit for
And say no as a damage doesn't matter your camping leech whenever you hit
Now all that matters is oh
GG if arbitrarily decided this is the maximum you can leech
You can scale that number up with percentage, but it's like it's say the number is
1,233
That's the amount so with zero so if you just have leech chance with no leech scaling you're gonna heal for that exact number per second
That's a literally how it works
Do you think we I'm gonna kill my Benz guys
Benz yeah Benz guys well
Let's get back at good shit
uh...
do you understand and when i'm saying it's conditional region i don't know
what to tell you that's because that's they've done it down to the point where
it's now just reading on it
which is fair enough
i mean what is leach ultimately is killing your life it just was more
complicated and those different vectors that mattered
select your max hp would be very important so if you're a low max hp
build leaves was a bad investment versus if you had a high max HP build it was
more of the worthy of investment and you know you could do various ways of
abusing it. It was convoluted. Well it's convoluted. It was convoluted in pv1 but
balance and then in pv2 it was simple but broken so and now we're going now
we've got down to the point where it's just like conditional regen like as long
as you hit the enemy you're gonna be you're gonna regen life this amount of
life that Gigi decides were that thousand per second for the next three seconds.
Fair enough. Well still done. That's what it is. Every single piece of armor in the
game can be upgraded this way. Even uniques. Some are just a strict... Okay, boom.
So he just gets 40 wood. Yep, okay. Okay. Upgrade, giving runic ward with no
downside others are more so we get 2700 armor right yep two thousand center
on sacrificing defenses to get a much larger amount of runic war so we lose
2700 armor but now we gain 995 wards that's like gaining 900 life by the way
that's kind of great great there's 900 flat life I wonder what scaling we're
going to have on the tree for it like or like what how like you know do we is it
how many ways are we going to just scale ward but you know one kill one kill
live is a lot of life it's a lot of life that's it's a lot of life it's it's
reverse energy shield right instead of like the energy shield sitting on top
of your life it's like energy shield that sits under your life you know you
know I'm what I'm saying I'm gonna like are we gonna have things if we have irons
to say your ward your water's increased by 20% are we gonna have things to say
You wouldn't you your runic ward region, right? Is increase that we're gonna have like what kind of mods are we gonna have to support it?
Or is it just gonna be like oh, yeah, I'm to flat rent what and then if there's just a default functionality runic ward and that's it
You know
There are even some that add new modifiers to uniques and tire
Okay, not magic that ensued
Dude.
Really worth 35.
Really.
Making them much more viable for higher level play.
Necks entirely.
There are even some that add new modifiers to your necks entirely.
I can look it up.
Radiant, grief, roof wash helmet.
Oh, so it's gone to 200 so it's gone from 16
well anything that it yeah okay so it's just permanent down everything to 200 and
then you get ignite magnitude as well so you get double the base damage it but the
main thing was for this helmet right was that you just conditionally met that
ignite condition so then you just always say ignite up so then you could just
instantly wait I remember using this with the poison flask right you had that
helmet on and then you just like throw poison clouds of them and then they
would instantly explode because they were inside the fucking they were
ignited or some shit right that's how it would work I remember using this to get
to maps actually one time making them much more viable for higher level play
But, the Calgurans use Runic Ward for more than just a defense.
It can also be used to power many other magics.
Triskelion Cascade.
Kept into the power of Triskelion, flame to empower the next spell that you cast, uh,
that affects an area around you or attack a location.
The impound spell becomes scented on your location and targets six additional areas around you
in a Triskelion pattern.
800% of empowered skills cast time to the skills cooldown.
It's a cool way of balancing it, fair enough, okay.
Maximum vitration is 4 seconds.
Less AOE, less damage.
I'm guessing it's shotguns, right?
Instead of using gems created from corruption,
the Calgurans used runes of power and fueled them with runic ward.
Many of the options available from Remnant Crafting
are new types of Calgaryen skills that exclusively spend Runic Ward to wreak havoc.
An example is Triscallion Cascade.
Using it will cause your next spell to be triggered multiple times in a Triscallion pattern.
You can use it with skills like Ice Nova that you cast from yourself,
or with something you targeted a distance, like Comet.
Oh, this is totally the GM designer. This is totally white cards from STS2, bro
There are also skills to modify existing effects use frost flame Nova a we call fire Nova
Unless you wave a volatile ice that feeds on flames
While the waves of deal damage the ice latches on to ignited enemies
Frishing duration of the active ignite and rapidly freezing them
They're preventing them from being ignited further until the ignite expires.
Oh, so you put up like one big-ass potent ignite, it's like ticking away, bang, you refresh the duration of the ignite, and then bang, they get frozen.
Ooh, that's pretty nice, that's pretty nice.
Pretty nice, pretty nice indeed.
In Brunek magic, like Frostflame Nova.
Eleven ward cost by the way, interesting.
Eleven ward cost.
Do we have specifics on the ward? I guess we'll find out. I want to see how the ward regens.
Using this skill on a pack of burning enemies will transform the ignite into frostfire,
both burning them and building up freeze at the same time.
My logic is that the ward is going to regen when you have life.
Maybe life regen applies to ward regen when you don't have... maybe it's something like that.
You have I'm just completely guessing I'm just entirely guessing hollow shell spell buff a we Nova
sacrifice your runic ward to send out an energy pulse that grants the right allies guard
huh pulse spends a hundred percent of your rewards to grant allies guard equal to 35% of
rune award spent. Pulse rate is at 3 meters, Gader is at 6 seconds.
The fuck would I want to do that? I guess to buff your minions will it be a orcuck?
The fuck would I fuck that? Basic buffs like hollow shell that guards all nearby allies.
It's a more complex- I don't think I'll use it, it'll be okay. It was this mark of repulsion,
mark attack over a tassium rune, dealing damage to the enemy while killing it outright causes
the marked activate triggering an explosion to deal damage in the area and apply a significant
knockback to other enemies near the marked target.
Cool on time point of view, use time point of view, cost 15 more, mark duration 8 seconds,
activates when marked damage is dealt equal to 200% of its Animate Threshold.
Ah, interesting, so 200% damage of the Animate Threshold, boom, from any type, it's like
calculating it's like an ailment that scales off all damage, what do you call this?
Conflux ailment basically, but just for the trigger condition. Trigger approachable waves
when activated. We can't see what approachable waves actually does load, so like that could be
either an insane damage number and it could actually be good or it could be a dog shit damage
number and be bad. Right? That's what it could be. This is a conchette timing right now.
What are you talking about now, you little bitch-ass?
Or do- or, I mean if it does no damage and just doesn't knock back, it's gonna be ass.
No one's gonna use it.
Legit.
Okay, the mechanics, like them.
Honestly, I feel like ignoring what?
You're kind- well, you definitely reach out maxing if you ignore ward and the early game,
because ward is just a free, additional stat that makes your character objectively more
powerful with no downside at the beginning.
And then as you move up, they've forced you to trade off defenses to get warded.
And at that point, you could just ignore wards.
So if you use none of the ward skills and you're happy with your current defenses, you
don't need to use it.
But speaking of as an armor character, this just seems like a really nice way of getting
an ES without having to get ES.
I would trade armor for ES any day, as long as I don't have to do some condition- like
the issue with ES is you've got to regenerate it and it's super annoying and you've got
to invest into it on the tree and all this stuff.
This is basically saying, hey look, we're going to give you fuck tons of ES for trading
for defense. But you don't have to worry about embissing the nose on the tree. You don't
have to worry about recovering it. And it's just like you have massive EHP. I'm gonna
be ward maxing. Okay, let me get my POE to build.
Quinn's
PoE to build
Ward maxing for real
It's like yes, but reverse
Yeah, it's yes, but reversed and can be an ethical life character
Okay, there we go, there we go, there we go
Mark of repulsion that creates a mark capable of pushing away all never nobody's kill nobody
Instead of spending mana like skill gems do all these skills cost runic ward has a region and unlike gems
They don't have a color
This means that they don't care about attribute requirements or what kind of weapon you use
these skills are designed to be used on any class and so do you think this is
like them addressing a little bit like that's the feeling of the whole like
your character being linked to a weapon too much like your whole identity is you
holding a mace I think I think it should help right for an interact with
mechanics that apply across many characters by combining different runes
together how many skills were able to support their runic abilities and you
can as well there is also support the runic abilities and you can as well
great support James runic infusion support Jim so it's not just support
Jim it's support it's just it's cool it's like it's like you put it in the gym
socket but it's actually no gym okay supports attacks causing them to cost
a runic ward but the deal additional physical damage based on their runic
what cost. Supporter skills cost an additional 20% of maximum Runec Ward. Supporter skills
deal added physical damage equal to 50% of the Runec Ward cost. Runec can float fusion
shit. Runic, uh, big add flat damage when stacking ward. Could be good if using with
some facebreaker type shit. Wait, I don't know if we have facebreakers in PE2, I can't
remember. You know what I mean, type shit. Right?
There's also a set of runic supports that can be combined with regular skill gems in
interesting ways. Concussive runes allows you to add these supports of chickens uh
supports of triggers wait wait wait okay concussive runes supports of tacks causing
runic shockwave to erupt under enemies they heavy stun i brah i'm i'm being
didn't ask with you right now she had i hailed that shit which is like conditional heavy
stun i hate that i don't mind it like and i might have it just free built this one
ability if it's built in i'll fuck with it like it's just free additionally on top
of your ability like some shit happens with heavy stuns but I like making whole builds
around some weird condition you like you just have to do some shit during a stun window
you know what I'm saying the shockwave costs a runic ward and will not trigger if you do not
have enough runic ward making cause of runes bone chatter shockwave is it shockwave what's that
What's that other thing called?
What's that fucking thing called?
It's called shock wave jet.
Picture. No, what's that one called?
Where it makes your it doesn't a we pulse around the bone
shadow when it heavy sense.
After shock. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You know what I'm talking about, dude?
Is this the portion that you put on function every time
It makes it like twice as effective
Impact shockwave yeah, that's what it's called. I
Wonder what that's gonna be like. Let's break it this good. It's like you just basically double shock waving bro
This can cut some shock waves to any skill that stuns
While rune confusion lets you spend more
This is the one he just showed a second ago bro to directly empower the damage on any skill
Now, there are other quests during the campaign too, that unlock even more interesting crafting methods.
Buried deep in the jungle in Act 3, you can find the Mystic Refuge, containing even more secrets for Pharah to learn from.
Using this knowledge, he gains the ability to reforge unique weapons.
This is crazy what this chick Chris Wilson would never
He would never hundred twenty nine and turn it 38 wait what check
What the fuck there's a GG to end all like in politics out and it'll look in a pile of it
Oh shit look at this when you steam fucking picture dude
I'm logging in. I want to look at like what a fucking GGM. I just because these numbers
are always PUE2.
See if I can log in, right? Surely. I still can't log into the game.
Bruh.
Really?
Really?
Maybe I need to go to Australia, as if it was maybe Auckland, as if it was a brick.
Okay, cool, the one daddy reborn who's gonna keep a weapon on chat
Why does none of them got weapons on?
Dog-Glossed?
Hypoth-
Hypotheaco.
Why does none of them got weapons on?
What?
What? I'm confused.
Oh, they look like a droid or some shit.
Okay, wait.
Oh, my God.
Where we at? I need to get my Pot of Exile key lines on. Where we at?
Uh, Pot of Exile's the key lines, bro.
Uh, nope.
P.O.E. 2.
The whole bar feels so weird.
Alright, so wait, what the fuck?
Dude, that's right, you get this extra bag, it's so good.
Alright, so wait, this is like a weapon.
So 200 to 500 would be considered a good weapon, you gotcha?
Yeah, plus 5 to all attacks, plus 5 to all attacks, first damage hybrid, first damage
hybrid, first.
Why is the damage not, is it because it's Abyss, no it's because it's an Abyss mod,
It doesn't seem to accommodate
That's like a 80 plus 60 8 plus 6 quick mass
14 140 percent first damage
Look on trade
All right, I just wanted to get an idea so that turner and 80 500 is like a
Oh, and there's also got ruins in it that increase the damage
So but this thing hasn't got anything in it yet, right? So you could double socket it and increase it
And then you can quality it. So wait that thing there would be like 238
We're at like 238
We're at like a 1.29
Plus 238
5 by 2
Times by 1.2
times by 1.2 that's that's been pretty conservative I feel like 264
what's my back it's got one ABS 260 40 so 260 40 BS
260 40 BS
okay Tuesday 40 BS this is the thing Mike this is way higher bro what
This thing is way high. 289.
526 DPS.
What?
So that's not really a super strong in-game item or anything.
Although I didn't get it does, you do get an additional aftershock, which is quite potent.
So it's like a 400 DPS weapon.
I mean if you had it at level 33 you're gonna go crazy there, right?
You have that shit at level 33 and like oh shit. I mean that's gonna be kind of cool, right?
the fact that
You'll be able to have yeah, I mean that's gonna be cool in it
Having an item that's like really good literally little 33. Do I have my bag to it? I got that worry cosmetics
What's the currently chat I don't get the currently I want to see what my bank has
Oh my god, he's dead in PVTL1.
What the hell happened?
Can I just kill him off as a meme or what?
Pretty good. I gotta see him. What did I have?
When I heard a leak that the card game this year is gonna be like the Battle Royale mode.
So buddy, I'm gonna come up to you day one, stream snip ya.
Pick ya up. Take your cards. Woke up.
Nah, nope. I'm gonna deny you. You're not I'm gonna deny you you are we denied
Hundred video to some kids that what I put this into pretty good and that is that on here is like I
Don't even have we can pay to pay to do I
Want the plus two 72
2. 2x2, not 2x1 but 1x2 both.
Still, wait, what the hell, that Mace actually beats that.
That level 33 Mace beats this.
Look at this, a level 6-7, uh, Australian Spear, it's a 100, 1049, right, no quality
No Jim sockets
One 29 238 that's a turn of this is one end of it still
Okay, look I got a two end of this is to enter here chat
It's not a very good one, but still level fifty nine
To that little fifty nine
143
That's not an encounter. I mean good. This is actually very strong thing. So basically chat
notes
notes
notes getting a low-level unique wet that is viable for your character and
upgrading it via virus him is probably gay at worth
Nick, many low-level unique weapons can be upgraded to do significantly more damage.
Now...
Okay, so this is like Room for Watch Channeling Townsmen.
111, 134.
Game 1, Gerritic Power, so every 20 total range span, any new range hit, yes, this is
going to be nuts.
It's going to be geeky caspy, but it hits you flat damage.
We've been able to take a bunch of uniques that had interesting modifiers, but were
not in game viable and give them a bit of a boost to get there and it's not just
low-level Unix all Calgary so a level 84 unique gets changed a level 84 unique
and what do you get if it's got just more damage just elevated
five base craft in reload speed when reload Gemini search alternatively
against 2 calls, 5 calls, it just doesn't change the level on it, it just makes it strictly
better.
I guess, but just adding a step, I don't get it, it's not changing it like fundamentally
and it's just making it objectively better for no trade off, is that, is that just, I
just, I mean this is the step in the process, I guess you just got to do it, you just got
to do it bro it is what it is she's gonna do it fair enough there's I mean it's a little
bit like well what's the point of doing this one I get that one where it big ones low level
and then ones high level that makes sense this this seems like a little bit de-forged
but fuck it's in it your nicks are able to be runeforged this way too well this is this
is not a choice chat the other one is a choice this is like oh this is the only one you will
never use the downgraded vision you will always upgrade it and they can do some pretty interesting
things like cells okay three sockets or systems gone crazy this isn't this is
going crazy maximum quality is 40 maximum quality is 40 flat damage bigger
range strength roll seems the same skills which are very tackle at that
and then you just do not count that attack cool so you don't even consume enough power
4 to 80 physical villains per runic plate
what the fuuuuck
so that one, this one here is not d4 design, this one here does something different entirely
right?
because this is instead of protected runic, this is runic plate
so this is like not d4 design, the other one with d4 design this one is like this is actually
Yeah, okay, so you could do some bills. You just win some bills use this one
Oh, this one does look like way more potent with the 40% thing great a new unique which when rune forge can get one of several different
Now there is still so much more
Okay, bunch of things you don't know what they are you can craft with remnants there are also okay. I'm a 20% increase reward
That's gonna be local right?
So that so that and a brass dime is gonna go hard
So you have like, what was it, 900 reward, right?
So that's, that's literally 200 flat life.
That's gonna be sick.
That's, that's gonna be nuts.
How many suckers can you get in an armor piece?
I haven't logged into the game, right?
I'll know by checking my character.
Dorn Daddy.
I got two, I got two here, apparently.
So maybe three, or four, let's see if you know.
Okay, so wait, sometimes you get like a base that has an additional rune socket and then
you corrupt it for another one.
So if you had four and a brass dome, can a brass dome drop with an additional rune
socket?
Well, can you do you have to get the base and then you have to chance orbit to a bright stone and then from there?
Wow doesn't even happen, but still
It's it could be 80% ruin a quad on a bright stone
So it could be it could be 800 flat life basically additionally on top of the 1,000 flat life
pretty fucking strong
100 new rooms
I'm a every four seconds game guard equal to 20% of maximum reward for two seconds
I hate that right
I hate that one. It's like inconsistence second. It's inconsistent. I don't like it
Why does it go? I mean again
It's this is like con a semi-recovered right because then the guard but absorbed damage and mitigate damage and did how
later heal and stuff and maybe it's like, I mean it's just supplemental, right?
Limited to one. I mean, that's gonna be, if you're doing Runec Ward,
it's gonna be very good regardless, right? Warding Runec Protection?
Hmm. I just wish it was like 10% in every four seconds, getting a guard equal to it for four
seconds. Am I crazy for that? I would take half the power for 100% of time versus,
Like the shit where it's like regenerate 10% of your life every two seconds or whatever every five seconds
It's like it's like technically on average very strong, but I will never use it because it's inconsistent
You know
You go that's I just as well as many other new crafting current
Plus one to all maximum element raise while on forward what limited to one
It's a little bit to one shit bro, it's pissing me off.
I mean plus one maxed raise though, a little bit of maxing for your gear, fair enough.
This is the runes of L...
Tower shields, 8% attack speed, if you've blocked recently.
After all, and some of these runes have quite powerful effects.
Stays have a 20% chance.
You can understand this, it's got to beat like percent damage by the way.
Do we need to test the gate and additional remits?
So for the Chayula Monks, right?
Thanks.
For example, this...
Uh, Martial Weapon, when stuck at a...
Wait, Martial Weapon, Wandawe stuff,
when stuck at a transom, all fire and lining mods
into an equivalent coal modifier.
That's interesting.
This is...
Elemental Discussion Rune will convert all the existing mods
on a non-unique weapon from one element to another.
Using it, you could combine a weapon
with all three Elemental Damage Mods into a single element.
That's fucking...
That's a cool-ass weapon, dude.
it's a interesting weapon
making a weapon with massive amounts of cold damage
there is force of a rune that lets you destroy your rune socket
destroy all augments
so it's on the item to create a jewel socket
gloves
to turn them into a jewel socket on your item
and they're like super strong
Isn't a Jool socket generally speaking better than a Rune socket?
I guess it depends on the build, right?
But that seems really good-
I mean, I wonder how rare that's gonna be.
My Jool socket's just so strong, it's like in a best socket, dude.
Chipped in damage, re-canot, triple damage, bonus, energy shield,
fucking E.S. Cucks, bro.
And, there are even crafting meta-
Can roll chronomancy modifiers.
Burns.
That can unlock new types of mods when used with regular crafting.
For example, this rune of chronomancy will unlock a set of time related mods to be crafted on your boots
You're not my crazy like this I get this in peely one, but in peely two like one
Like in peely one you had that thing and you put it in right and then you can just roll because you have tons of currency
to do that and you then peely two it's not like you can cast like
Wait, do I remember do I miss remember in peely two? It's more like you can't oh
Spam and then your your cast ops are like specific. It's like add or move
You're gonna know all high and cascades, but you you know, I mean you know that I crafted a bunch of gear in P1
Like I like I get this is like it's like metacrafting, but with a socket instead
But then you don't really have the tools in P1 to like kind of spam it on to actually get a good outcome
you're so cool and you're not saying what I'm saying what I'm saying in PD2 do you really have
the tools to actually do this like 10 what is 10 kanzel's gonna do it's gonna do fucking nothing
bro but what the fuck is 10 kanzel's gonna do so basically you're gonna get you're gonna get up
the way you're gonna do this chat is you're gonna get a gg item drop that's almost done yeah right
You're gonna finish it so it's really nice. Okay, now you've got a really nice item
Then you're gonna socket one of these metagrouting runes in and then you're gonna chaos slam it and hope it lands the chromatic mod that you want
On the mod that you want to remove
Like it doesn't say your next chaos orb
Guarantee rolls
Chronomatic mods it says it can roll it
maybe there's an omen that says you will only roll like suckered rune mods or something
i don't know maybe there's some weird shit like it's not like you can guarantee i don't
know it seems like there might be an omen that supports this because without omen's
i don't see it
hmm again though i've not really done that much like my pewee 2 crap thing was like what
I used to do channels like I get it on it was pretty good
I do in a best mod and then I would do like a targeted slam thing and
Then I would just call it a day suck at that shit and just put it on
Right yeah, what I was I was a campaign enjoy
I'm a campaign enjoying P2 right now because I just I can't get behind the endgame yet
So I just have never got that hard into P2 again because it's just
P2 in game plus me just leaps ahead, but I could like done wrong
I can see the potential and I can I can I can extrapolate out how instantly good the campaign is now that the gameplay is when it's working
I'm like, dude, this is gonna be the best game ever made
It's just right now the in-game stock shit which is point five is gonna change all that, right?
It's gonna change all that point five is gonna be fixing the in-game once placed inside
Use regular crafting orbs to attempt to get new mods like this right there. That's really what you're doing
This is really what we're doing down speed or increase skill effect duration
This is crazy bro, I mean 23% cooldown recovery rate with movement speed is crazy
Okay, also create a move that random modifier
Okay, wait removes a random modifier and augments a rare item
But then you would guarantee modifier
Okay ring maximum runic ward amulet
6% increase maximum runic board or 10% increase maximum. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting.
The runic. We got some runic board build scaling in. We got a new type of currency called. It
was a random modifier and augments a rare item of the guaranteed modifier. 20% increase
chance to flip downloads, okay. Alloys. Using regular mess.
We're moving around and modify our enemies of rare items. It's
all those removed slamship, right? Gloss remons can be
collected from 50% further away. I mean, that seems to appear
for the for the trailer on great body armor, increased
presence, air effects, that's all the presence, space skills,
mana cost efficiency, that seems pretty fucking strong. Boots
temporary minutes, because they've plus one limit to million
summit that seems strong as well for many attacks. Same ship remove slam, cast speed,
attack speed, gain flasks per second, shield of focus, increased ton of pleasant speed.
Can be directly crafted onto your items. Using imbued alloy could improve your ailment
damage, for example. There are honestly so many options here that unlock all sorts of
crazy crafting projects, so I think people will be experimenting with these for a long
time. Once you get to Kingsmarch in Act 4, Farrow finally meets Danag, a real Calgurian
rune smith. Enriddled with excitement, he wants to learn how to merge modern Calgurian
techniques with the ancient knowledge that he has found. From here on, Ferro joins in
the Calgaryen Expeditions that Danyg has been leading. With the ancient knowledge that Ferro
brings to the table, the Calgaryen Expeditions that Danyg has been going on will change significantly.
For those of you who haven't played it, the Expedition League mechanic involves carefully
placing explosives, uncovering the buried dead, and recovering Varysium from them. By choosing
where to place the explosives, you can choose which kind of challenges you'd like to face
or rewards you'd like to claim.
But unlike before, Expeditions now contain the remnants from Runes of Eldr, allowing
you to do some specific crafts along the way using the new League crafting mechanic.
I mean this does seem way less age, right?
It's basically like going through an expedition and you're just picking the essence that you
want on the way, right?
It's like, yeah, it's way less like, oh, fuck, I gotta go around the whole map.
I mean, who's seen me do a logbook before chat?
Well, I did that.
You only know that if you've been watching me on G-File, because I would only do logbooks
on G-File because it was so fucking boring.
It was like, I log into the logbook, I fucking run around the whole map.
I'm fucking, I have to find the one that says, Duplicate Zerunik Monsters.
I have to find the one that says, uh, more artifact shit coming out of like chests and
then you have to path to those ones first and then repath your whole fucking thing around.
I hope that's not the case.
I mean, it kind of, it might still be the case, by the way, you might have to run into
the logbook and then run around the map looking for like a five rune that you hit first, which
empowers all the other ones after which.
And it might be, and then, you know, you might have to do the same shit.
If you have to do that, that's gonna be kinda sad.
You know?
Of course it'll be like that. Yeah, actually, I don't know what I'm thinking about it. Maybe it's still gonna be the same shit.
It might still be cooked like that, actually.
Ah, whatever dude, I mean if it's a decent shit, it just won't do it that much. Dude, it is what it is.
One very important difference from the stupid game you don't encounter.
You don't have to worry about some stupid shit being like...
Oh, this whole area is like I got like this you don't have to worry about like the
Monsters overwhelm your physical damage reduction like 100% of it monsters. Don't take this damage monsters
Just fucking kill you you have like 15 they have like 27% penetration
Is that the end like surely right these things aren't gonna have that on the rune right surely
How much I'm before that the exact same mods exist just on room form
So now you have to instead of like just read one line of text. You're gonna go over every single rune
Oh
Dude I am I'm holding out jet
I'm I'm I'm worried about this expedition mechanic it might still it might be they could have actually made it worse
Though they have said there's not gonna have immunity so ready he Ziggy already asked if they're gonna be immunities
And they're easy to know in the interview so that the remnants grant apply to every monster down the explosive line for the rest of the encounter
stacking together. This can lead to some pretty extreme situations. If you stack
too many remnants you might be in for a fight beyond your abilities but the
rewards can be very worth it. Each mod on the monster is improving the item.
Headboxes? What's going on?
Can be very worth. You might be in for a fight beyond your abilities but the
rewards... This is just they haven't finished coding it right? All the mods seem to have
Phasing and they're all stacking your top each other can be very worth it. Look at these mobs
They're just not caring about each one. There's no way is improving the items that they can drop
I think they're still coding it
Once you get to the endgame you will find you go back and look at the vodka can't be fucked
But basically the mob said all phasing on top of each other, which is not something that happens in PE2
The Atlas has changed substantially
To the south you will now find the coastline of Rayclust with the ocean beyond go watch it
King's March has not feared well after the cataclysm and lays in ruins.
Rog's shop has been destroyed but he is much more concerned about his wife, Gwynon.
He would like to launch an expedition-
The log is hidden in Gwynon?
Dishon deep into the ocean to find her.
And this begins a new major mechanic for expedition, exploring the ocean.
Previously, a logbook was a single encounter.
Now, using a logbook, you can send ships to explore an area of the ocean to the southeast,
uncovering a range of islands to begin your search for Gwynan.
You can hop from island to island doing many new encounters.
There are islands with expeditions, grand expeditions, new bosses, and all sorts of
other unique things to find. Eventually, you will find the island that Gwynan has been
holed up on. It turns out that she has found the tomb of an ancient Calgary, Medved. While
she appreciates you coming to her rescue, she is still keen to blow open the doors of
the vault and take whatever you can find inside. It's just a shame that Medved isn't as dead
as you previously assumed.
Now after you have defeated Medved, you will find another logbook.
And this time you can use it to choose which direction you want to explore.
The ocean is vast and contains a huge number of new islands to find.
With each logbook, you can explore one sector...
It's looking pretty sort of Easter egg here.
Hmm, not seeing anything too crazy.
And you can go as deep as you like.
Hell yeah.
There are all sorts of interesting objects to uncover and dungeons to explore.
Many of the islands have expeditions with totally new mechanics.
Fishing!
Yo, what the...
Oh my god, bro.
Bro, I didn't even catch that.
So for example, aliens have expedition-
What is this?
Dude, that's so troll.
Dude, that's rolling.
That's trolling, bro.
They're trolling with the fishing.
Actions with totally new mechanics.
What?
So for example, here is a volcanic island with voltaxic sulfite.
Blowing up the sulfite will unleash extra waves of enemies.
But there is also this wall with the suspicious light coming from behind it.
On blowing it open, a giant ogre comes out and he is determined to eat as much sulphide
as possible.
The more sulphite mounds that you have blown up, the more empowered and the more rewarding
he will become.
These islands contain all sorts of little secrets that you can find and blow up.
Free trapped wisps.
Bro, have they made the beginning not dog shit yet cause like, every time I try that
wisps shit it just makes the mob's rippiest flog and then there's like no, I just don't,
It seems disproportionately more difficult, works like, hardly any extra reward.
So I just fucking skip them.
I've just let the entirety of PE2, I've just skipped them now.
Like, I've tried them at the start of every league, and then I hate them every single time,
and then I just say, yep, I'm gonna do that again, and I just don't do it.
Um...
But maybe...
Who doesn't skip Wisps?
Yeah, like, he's talking like, to his Wisps are actually cool and fun now,
because I fucking hate these Wisps.
Is that one whistle with like 20 wasps?
I'm like dude, I just run through his own instantly and get out the other side and just never go back there again.
Blow open brute doors.
Even ra-
Like it's- it's opportunity cost. Like I- to get me doing a lead mechanic.
Like if it's super rippy and super raise and fuck all rewards, basically my brain says nope, I don't wanna do it.
Like it doesn't matter, it could be like really fun gameplay or something, but I still said nope.
It makes it super rippie and it gets highly nerfed, why would I, like my brain just does the calculations and says no.
I think I don't want to do that, Gigi.
Pays ancient precursor technology.
You know?
And of course, more bosses.
There are more and further vaults to blow up, and one of them in particular is pretty important.
The Tomb of Uhtred, the Star Drinker.
This is the penultimate boss, right? Not the Benegal.
Uhtred was responsible for calling down the meteors of Varysium, which the Calgurans used
to power their ancient magic.
And upon defeating him, he calls down a truly gigantic one into the ocean nearby.
That's fucking cool.
On visiting it, you find that it is shrouded by a strange energy emanating from the Varysium
core of the meteor within.
There is something growing in there, and it can't be anything good, but an order-
Actually, it was a giant spider, we've seen it.
He showed it.
They showed us it was a big spider inside there.
It's a gang entry.
Danix suggests that the Triscalian Flame, an ancient Calgurian artifact that can absorb
and cancel the effects of Varsian magic, could be used to enter-
It's Leavos.
I don't understand what Leavos is, guys.
What is that?
Is this some sort of farm fantasy reference?
But to find it you will need to locate the tomb of Oroth, Leader of the Knights of the
Sun.
Defeat him and gain access to whatever eldritch nightmare is growing inside.
Now, we're not going to spoil the bops, but one thing you should know is that the barricium
that makes up the core of the meteor is of a quality that has not been available.
Maybe the spider's a mini boss.
But wait, deadlifts.
For millennia.
No, dog, that's the same fucking thing
that was dead the spider in it, bro.
Bringing this spider and Danek
should allow them to forge some objects of power
to create-
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So it's special and unique to come from that zone only.
What is this?
What was it, Max Elly-Riz?
Okay, A and Rdama, 190 energy.
Ooh, Armour-E-S!
That's it, I love that!
My favorite archetype, bro
100% respite damage
70% of damage taken from hits by 5 in each yield the mini-shield is below half
Hmm interesting interesting
Lose all runic bindings when you shape shift to gain equal amount of unbound potential
gain one runic mining with hit on spells
number one series of systems like shape-shifting like spell-curc
chess piece the fuck
the vision of which has been lost to time with the dragon build
so that's the league and there is a lot going on
to sum all that up there is a new encounter
with over 30 new monster types and over 30 new rune modifiers to enhance them
You can create more than a hundred new rooms to craft your gear as well as
dozens of other new currency items and there are new quests added to the
campaign to unlock even more new crafting options. Rune forging armors.
What happened there?
Ah, we're gonna go more down here. Okay, yeah, scene, scene, scene, scene, scene.
Upgrading Uniques,
Yeah, that's the weapon we already saw.
Dozens of new Calgaryen skills and supports.
Tons of new islands to discover by exploring the ocean.
Five new bosses, including a new pinnacle boss.
See, we weren't going to spoil it and then they fucking spoiled it.
Look, I'm not...
And a bunch of new Uniques to top it off.
But, there is still a tonne more to come.
It's time to talk about the massive changes to the endgame.
But for that, I'll hand it back to Jonathan.
Now as Mark hinted at before, the endgame atlas is very different now, and the ocean
to the south is the least of the changes.
The entire area around your starting location is now teeming with new questlines and things
to discover.
Will you investigate the strange forests to the west?
The cracks in the earth to the east?
Or perhaps visit the ruins of a vile-
surpassing chance means it's not so it's not just a hundred it can go to a hundred fifty or two hundred or two hundred seventy
If you had two hundred seventy percent chance to find additional error you would find two additional errors and seventy percent chance of firing additional error
City in the north
The Atlas now has fixed points of interest at specific locations giving you specific objectives that are easy to find wrong
Shit the fuck up and you see bro like before though no matter which objective you choose going to towers to see what's out there is always a good idea
The first time you do that though, something new happens.
The Earth shakes.
And a gigantic fortress rises from the earth.
A remnant of the ancient precursor civilization.
You're a little strong.
The cataclysm of the beast has caused an ancient protocol to be invoked.
Should corruption ever take hold to this degree, the world must be scoured and purged of corruption.
you'll need to make your way into the fortress and activate the gate why are
we why are we stopping him he's the good guy why are we stopping him like he's
trying to feed trying to save the world by scouring everything I mean yeah so we
got a died or a giant angel of death right he's like but it is what he's a
good guy gain the keys to reach these ancient precursor weapons and to some
but this will be no easy task the fortress has many areas to explore and
many new things to find you will power up ancient machines fight new and deadly
foes discover many new areas and uncover some dark secrets okay now the
fortress is the first of the new full in-game storylines that we're adding an
050 and there's a lot going on with it, but not only that and it's some pretty cool new mechanics as well
The areas inside the fortress are special many of them have new mechanics or awards that they grant okay?
Oh, it's like the fortress air essence packs an area can then is no rare monster
Suspecial
Essence packs it's a mean you double to mean you get double the you get double raise that'll be here since is that what it's saying
Many of them have new mechanics or rewards that they grant.
All where monsters are essence monsters, okay?
Like this map, where all the rares are contained in essence crystals.
Or this one, which replaces all monster packs in the area with strong bugs.
It's just Scarra effects, right?
Or this one, which spawns in his merry spirit that always moves on from a rare after you kill it,
allowing you to chase it through the entire map.
Imagine you know these Esmeralda Spirits and you like that Esmeralda Spirit Cook, and
then you have these little spur-to-face going off, but there are actually things that kill
you, but it just looks like you're in a tax.
Oh, you're cloaked.
Now, just like the normal areas of the Atlas, you'll need to fight the map boss of each
area to complete the map.
Why are we watching this again?
This guy didn't ask why we're watching this again, dude, like, have you ever watched me
But unlike a normal map, the ones in the fortress each contain pre-person nodes after the boss,
and activating these nodes will give you points for the new and improved Atlas Passive Tree.
Okay, it's what new and improved Alice pass after the boss and activating these nodes will give you points
So when a monster is possessed by ticker spirited as well as by another round of spirit for the new and improved Atlas Passive Tree
Now we had an Atlas Passive Tree before but it was one of the areas of the end game that just wasn't up to scratch
sucked the
Now works it increased that didn't increase pre-covatar reveal radius quite a lot differently
We have significantly
As Merry Spirits may seek out and possess strong boxes
Upgraded the kind of mechanics that you can find on the Atlas tree
Like this
Rogue Exiles have a chance to flee to adjacent maps and upgrade their equipment
This one's crazy, this one's crazy
Gives a chance to make Rogue Exiles you fight retreat from combat
And move to an adjacent map
Before you fight them again, they'll upgrade their gear and come back with a grudge this time.
There are also a lot of nodes that combine mechanics together in new ways.
Like this one, which lets us marry spirits, possess strongboxes.
All the regular monsters that come out of them are touched by the spirit,
and the rares are all possessed, giving you some incredible loot potential.
That's kind of rippy, dude, not gonna lie.
Very rippy.
you get points from every single area you complete in the fortress and unlike
before that means you can allocate the entire Atlas tree yes this whole tree
can be yours this change is pretty important since it allows us to be able
to create many types of as a death this is interesting
Okay, my bad.
Huh?
Fuck.
Fuck this discord meme when it's red.
Fuck it doesn't mean that your message is red.
What does that mean if your message is red when you send a message?
Discord's over the down, didn't send, uh-huh, outage.
Oh, what the fuck, Discord's down right now, that's fucked.
See, I'm trying to do some dev shit right now, but I don't fucking can't do some dev shit.
Alright, fix your servers, Discord.
Bonuses that we wouldn't have been able to create before.
Like this one, which gives a chance for cities to be invaded by another faction, and can
even allow it to contain two faction leaders allowing you to get two crisis
fragments
if we don't kind of thing on the old tree would have wanted to speak into it
before running a city map
then unspeak out of it before anything else that's to the occasion
we can have cool bonuses like these obviously we still want to make sure
that you have choices that define your in-game Atlas build
so many nodes in the Atlas tree and now multi-choice
everyone will get the node but which bonus you choose to use is up to you
Do you want your car?
I'm going to be going easy mode antlers bro.
I'm going to be, well, this thing, right?
I think everyone's going to do it, right?
You're going to make the, you're going to do,
you're going to start off when your character's weak,
make an easy mode, and then when your character
becomes a god, then you're going to switch it
to make it harder.
Here's the powerful map boss to contain,
does it contain a summoning circle?
Contain a rogue exile.
Hmm, it's a good exile max.
Arful boss maps to contain more essences,
summoning circles, or rogue exiles.
But there's also nodes that contain more unusual things.
So for example, on this node you can choose.
Do you want to give a chance for shrines to instead be given to the map boss in the area,
making them more challenging but dropping special loot?
Would you rather give a chance to be given a shrine buff before entering boss arenas,
making for an easier fight?
Shrine, myself.
Now, I could probably nerd out about cool stuff in the tree all day.
should probably get back to the fortress. Now, one of the rea-
I hope those choices are compelling enough. Bro, I hope they really are some big dick things.
Like, you know, we get some real... I hope they're not just all super- like, that's
your own thing, like, whatever, little exile here or there, whatever. I hope it feels like
you're making an Atlas tree, you know?
Important things we wanted to do was make it so that all the boss fights in the end game
are now accessible with a questline. That means that to fight the Arbiter of Ash for
the first time, you don't need to get lucky by finding keys. There will be in fixed locations
and there's a quest to get them. But the Arbiter of Ash is no longer the pinnacle of Path of
Exile 2. For that, you'll need to travel into the very center of the fortress.
An incredible challenge awaits you should you choose to go there.
And this guy looks sick. The fact you can desend is cool.
After the storyline, you still unlock keys for pinnacle bosses in the usual way, exploring
the world and finding the keys required to get to them. But we have added a lot more
interesting things to find out there as well. There are now all sorts of mechanics that
can spawn on maps in the wilderness. For example, some maps might spawn as a rogue exile hunting
ground containing multiple rogue exiles who are there to hunt rare beasts. You might come
upon them in the middle of a fight and be able to take out both of them.
I like the idea of that, like cool zones with super unique mods that make a map completely
different to you don't want apps so they get like a crazy map every now and then
that's exciting and you can invest into it and be like yo this is gonna be nuts
but that's that's fun and you gotta explore for them like that's better now
is this gonna result in us like getting those insane maps early and then be like
well I don't want to run that yet because I need to get full precoce of
tablets and then juice up the fucking thing to the absolute maximum when it's
t16 I don't know we'll see hopefully it doesn't get too degenerate but yeah I
I mean, this does seem like a good idea.
A map of champions that makes all the natural inhabitants of the area into magic monsters.
Like, could this be some shit where multiplayer cucks...
They all find one of these crazy maps with one of these crazy mod things,
and then they do like a rotation where they all go into their own map, Atlas,
and they recreate the group to then go do that crazy mod.
Yeah, I mean, fuck, fuck, dude.
They want to do that, they can do that.
Well this one that causes all shrines in the area to release as merry spirits when used.
Once you have explored and found your keys you can return to fight the pinnacle in the
fortress again.
But this version of him will be harder, and not only that, he will have new unique rewards
as well.
Each time you fight him, you get the ability to activate one section of the fortress, and
any maps that you didn't finish there will be automatically completed, giving you all
the Atlas points.
I didn't quite understand, okay so when you go to this place, you get a wall, there's some maps in there that are kind of weird, you get to this, you, what, you zerg to this thing, you get like a piece, you get a piece, then you go back to here, you go up, you kill him, and then what, it completes the rest of the map if you didn't do.
do. So wait, so Jack, what I'm saying is this, right? So like this here for example, what
is this? Because why don't you shoot off to the one to the side? Control V. Hello? I'll
do a press screen maybe. Okay, it says lagging. My paint is lagging, Jack, my paint is lagging.
wait so you go you clear this thing you clear this thing then you go back to
here you fight that guy and then Bazinga just correct or that's what it
that's what it is didn't find you fight him you get the ability to activate one
section of the fortress and any maps that you didn't finish there will be
Automatically completed giving you all the atlas points. So if you're the type of player who doesn't want to explore the fortress
And instead just race out into the infant he's at the place you'd already been
So you beat the fucking tower guy and he's at the place you'd already been I don't quite understand it
Bazinga Maxing that animals you still have a way to get all those points
I don't quite like you zappa
You can pick a section to zap that you've already been at and then it completes that section that you didn't finish
Fortress, so this is your big ass place, so you just got multiple sections to zap. How did he choose that in the video?
I want to see this.
The fortress is one section of the fortress and any maps that you didn't finish there will be automatically
You'll have new unique rewards as well.
So you kill them.
Each time you fight them, you get the ability to activate-
I see, so these little circles, that's a different part of the fortress, each one of these.
So there's 1, 2, 3, 4, there's 6 sections of the Vortarist, I see.
And that's how you choose which one.
So after you beat him, you click a button and then BZING, it zaps one, and then that
just fully completed that zone.
That's what he does, that's literally what he does.
Look, he runs over down here, oh is there even more?
You get the ability to activate one section of the fort.
There's actually, no, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, there's 8 thingies.
Chris. And any maps that you didn't finish there will be automatically completed, giving
you all the Atlas points. So if you're the type of player who doesn't want to explore
the fortress, and instead just race out into the infinite Atlas, you still have a way to
get all those points. So that's the origins of Divinity storyline. It's a huge amount
of- I'm gonna vibe check it, right? I'm gonna go there and just start clearing it out. It
really hard, I want our Zerk Pass. If it's like super trivial, super easy and like the
fortress is like whatever, I'll just zap it. You know?
New content with a ton of new areas, five new bosses, including a pinnacle, with a bunch
of new unique items. But not only that, it also completely revamps the Atlas tree and
includes a ton of new map mechanics that you can find both inside and outside the fortress.
But this is just one of the new storylines, so let's talk about the next one now, Masters
of the Atlas. Now earlier we talked about how the modicous nodes in the tree allow you to still
have an in-game Atlas build, but we didn't think that was quite enough. You have an Ascendancy
class for your Passive Tree. Why not an Ascendancy class for your Atlas Tree? Well that's where the
Masters of the Atlas come in. Throughout Ray-class there are many opportunities for those with the
skills to find them. Atlas Masters are willing to train you in these skills if you're able to help
them in return. One such master is Jado, a member of the Order of the Jinn, an organization that
secure as powerful artifacts to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Jado will
send you on missions to investigate strange occurrences on the Atlas and recover the artifacts
causing them. And for each one you recover, he will gain more trust in you and teach
you more ways of...
I like how they have the characters from the campaign. I like Dorianne's one. You interact
with them, you talk to them, and now they're an Atlas guy as well in the endgame.
What are of the gen?
That's cool.
At level one...
100% chance to be unique. 100% increase the amount of rare chests in your maps.
Okay.
You could choose to massively increase the chance for rare and unique chests.
Or make it-
Map bosses drop an additional unique item.
So that all map bosses drop an additional unique item.
That one seems real strong, uh, for HCS as if.
Right?
It should mean there is a unique item you actually want,
because there's actually a useful one.
Right.
Or make corrupted waste stones have an additional modifier.
Fuck that, fuck that, juicer cooks, enjoy, fuck that.
At the cost of making them send you to a totally unknown location-
Fuck that, fuck that.
What is that weird-ass fracture guy doing?
Each mission you complete for Jado will unlock another row of abilities, and give you another
point to allocate letting you choose how you want to specialise.
But there are other masters too.
For example, Hilda.
Zelda is a member of a guild of monster hunters. She will send you on missions to assassinate
specific deadly creatures around Wraeclasts and harvest their parts. In exchange,
25% chance to upgrade map bosses to a powerful map boss.
Did I remember like that boss difficulty shit made bosses so tanky bro and then they just
start one-shotting you? I remember not enjoying that. I remember not enjoying that. Now they're
gonna be what powerful map bosses Jesus with all the boss difficulty and shit oh my god oh my god
she will teach you her monster hunting skills like this one which adds a 25 chance to upgrade
any map boss to a powerful version or this one which makes us merrians with merri spirits cannot
possess three monsters ferrets no longer possess rare monsters making them go for the unique bosses
in the area instead you might notice that many of the effects on these are both upsides and
downsides so hilda for example can make it so that you only get one attempt from fighting pinnacle bosses
But in exchange for that they always drop two uniques
That's that's good because I'm hardcore. So you I mean dirty genus. I'm gonna do all the one attempt things cuz I'm hardcore
Let's go
That's that's me. That's literally I'm for hilda bill, baby because of that
We got 20% chance for double effect of precast tablets 50% chance if it doesn't increase exceptional honor found
I mean that sounds good, what?
Map also dropped, but just when you got him.
I mean that sounds good.
Dude, these ones, all three of these sound really good.
I don't like pre-ghosted tablet shit, though.
That's sketchy.
Maybe I do, though.
Maybe I do.
I kind of got into a bit, I kind of used a bit last PUE leap, didn't I?
Pre-ghosted tablet is like a Scarab, right?
Wait, what is a fucking pre-ghosted tablet now?
It's like a Scarab sextant thing that you put in a tower.
Oh fuck they've changed system so many times now that I don't even remember what the fuck even happens
Well, you do a tower and then you put a tablet inside the fucking sit tower
And then that affects everything within the range of the town
Does that know what it does
That's old now you put it in the map what the fuck is it just a scarab now
I have dyslexia and my brain
It's fuzzy
Dude at one point you put pre-coast of things inside towels and they buff things inside towels
It was like a six and I remember not locking in it. I was like that system sucks dick
They should delete that so they change that now
Go in game
I
Reclust is the contrary you must be the cycles of commas a stockpiled a great many things in
Was the sister yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah brought you to us. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a scare
It's like a scare yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just scarabs. They're scarabs.
Uh, just call them fucking scarabs, bro.
Just call them scarabs, bro.
We wanted it to be easy to s-
Scarabs with stacks.
Possess unique monsters.
Uh, release spirits on death.
To the best of chance to upgrade mana bosses, spell mana bosses, and marry spirits, possess spell ramosses.
20 of us just one raider in place with a brain and map boss.
5% chance for three ramosses to be placed by a map boss.
Yeah, this is, like, the ripiest bitch ever.
I like the other Jada look way cooler
Jada look way cool between them depending on what you're doing
What's our any cut don't add because of that?
We wanted it to be easy to swap between them depending on what your your maps have an additional revival
Yo much mean that bad the video game you need that a holy fuck way stones and you have 25 cent more
What if he did prefix one person who has a more effective so much fun about whatever he maps
That's the only three a P
As Mary spirits only puts this Moses after reaching maximum empowerment geez Louise a hundred percent rarity of arm for my magic muscles
Don't as you unlock each master. They will appear on the side of the screen
Simply click whichever one you want to use to run the map and all the bonuses
You've selected the way some looks weird as hell simply click whichever one you want to use to run the map and all the
Provides available to pack size monster victim this place turn drop talents
Interesting area has better structure. Yeah, no bonuses you have selected for that master will be activated
This allows you to have a few different strategies that you can quickly pick between depending on what you're running at the moment
The one thing you can infinitely log out in PE2, right?
It's not that you can use the polls infinite times in PE2
you just can't, if you die you lose the point, that's how it works.
It's been pretty obvious as to the end game leagues we created when launching Early Access in 010
were not really up to the standard of the leagues we did since then.
Fate of the Vile and Rise of the Abyssal just have a lot more going on than Delirium or Expedition for example.
We wanted to do a serious upgrade to all these mechanics before we do our 1.0 release.
And so that's what we've done.
All four of the leagues we launched in Early Access have been upgraded with not only new quest lines
but new mechanics, new crafting systems, new uniques, and new pinnacle bosses.
One of the really important changes we made to all the leagues
is that you can now find them on the Atlas in specific locations
and each one has a quest line that will lead you there to being able to complete the
Wait, that physical location on the map is like
that is a place that you go there and you can do a full quest chain and go full delirium mode and just do it all the whole delirium quest and just get it done.
Yeah
And then also when you're in game encounter you keep that's like that
That's like the little pyramid thing you used to open up the in game encounter
You also open up your in game encounter at that zone correct or
That's like your mates. It's like a quest zone and it's like a hub for doing in game shit
Some of the mechanics you have to like replace a map with some shit, right, but that's
She's like tapping wrong bro. I'm gonna ban this energy bro. Like did ass
I like it. I like the idea of it. It sounds cool. It makes that let's feel less like slump and more like some handcrafted shit
Which is what I want. Give me a sec here. I take a piss when I get back
With popping off. We had deep diving. We have half way through the deep dive right now
We are we have a really deep dive you Pogchamps fucking ready boys. Get get deep diving
Yeah, you tell the shit about the boots just now and my environment.
Nah, what the fuck.
Alright, I'll...
League, along with its Atlas tree and its pinnacle boss.
This is true even for the leagues that we didn't do major redesigns to, so let's use
a bus as an example.
When you first encounter one in the endgame, you'll get a quest that leads you to the east,
where you will find these mega abyss cracks in the earth leading away from the Well of Souls.
All the maps along the cracks will contain abysses with special properties,
and mapping along these cracks will close the atlas scale abysses,
giving you points for the abyss atlas tree. At the end of each atlas abyss,
you'll find an abyssal depths, with the boss fight for one of the abyssal factions,
giving you a guaranteed way to fight them. And after completing all three,
You'll get a key for the well of souls allowing you to fight the vessel of call of man
This kind of thing makes an in-game league so much more friendly for new players
Giving people obvious goals and a guided experience to complete them
All right, so let's talk about the first of the upgraded leagues delirium
I hope they have fixed that because that boss was complete dog shit, right? It was like
So we just shit all over the screen. You can't see fucking anything. It doesn't make any sense
And then you just died or something nothing I
I hope that's fixed and not dogged shit and it's new storyline the hair and the raven. Yeah
As you may remember during act 4 you were tricked into releasing an ancient entity from a katoi prison known as tang mazu the raven trickster
Tang mazu delights in breaking the minds of those who step through his mirrors and when touching one
He will attempt to destroy your mind with twisted abominations generated from your worst fears
In Return of the Ancients, the first time you approach one of his delirium encounters in the endgame,
you will find Eldermadix locked in a trance.
His mind is trapped in one of Tangmazu's delusions, and you will need to find-
I like how that reads in the characters again.
It feels...
It's a different amount than-
Once free, Eldermadix demands that as you cause this problem, you should put it right.
True.
He asks you to travel west to the Withered Willow, the location he believes that Tangmazu first gained his powers.
Ooh.
But be careful, as you travel there, the Raven Trickster will attempt to break your mind.
Each map around the Withered Willow features DeLarium encounters.
Is that one point?
This is more of a simple quest upgrade.
The mechanic of DeLarium has been overhauled and expanded.
At the bottom of the screen, there is now a bar that indicates how deep into DeLarium...
So that little thing is you, right?
That little thing is you, and they're telling you how deep you are, yeah?
Very am you are.
You can see which direction leads deeper by looking at the fog.
And the deeper you go, the more challenges you'll face.
It's the time out of the fog or what?
By looking at the bar, you can see how long you have
until the DeLarion ends.
And you can also see special encounters with-
We are, you're not the bar, the bar was the showing
like the DeLarion expanding, right?
This is you, your little diamond.
You will face if you're able to go deep enough into the fog.
At the end of the bar is always the boss of the map.
But we now have a variety of other encounters
that you might find as you explore the horrors
of your own mind.
For example, you might encounter a purple mirror shard that when shattered will cause all the enemies to become more nightmarish
After hitting this, you'll notice the delirium demons are enhanced significantly more powerful, larger, scarier in general along with more rewards
Or should you encounter a red mirror shard?
I don't think it's untimed. I think that is showing examples with it's not going down
I think what's gonna happen is it will go like this right the bar this bar fills up over time
Max is out after a while this top bar goes down again
We sent into the depths of your mind that's what will happen
And must escape it while fighting off
You do drop notes no more drops if you are able to do so you'll gain a powerful amulet with two instilled notables on it
Once you reach the withered willow crazy
You know that's gonna be crazy of a trade leave it dog ship is it right you never gonna get one that's good for you
you're never gonna go on the good for you but you look on trailing this is gonna
have some insane shit
once you reach the withered willow Aldermatics discovers the
Shadows of the Mirrors you will need to track downtown mazu and restore it if you
have a hope of discovering how to defeat him and that means entering the raven
tricksters mirrors in an attempt to locate him each area around the withered
willow contains delirium encounters so that's a good place to start as you do
Lariums some of the special encounters will drop liquid emotions
Normally these emotions can be used to install amulets to add notable passive buffs to them
But in return of the ancients emotions have a new function as well
Each one now has the ability to add crafted mods to jewels
Allow okay, let's say I'm ready because I couldn't read this certain thing. Okay. So on a ruby
So I remove the random modifier and always a rare basic gel with a new guarantee could have okay
So you wait to get a gel that's actually good
And then once you've got a good jewel that you want okay mod on that's nice
I see it like I don't know some fucking badass damage modes
And you did either yes percent and bang on a sapphire boom yes sapphire roll
What is what is this?
Nuba what the fuck is this bro literally what the fuck is that?
You dad specific mods
That one's just defenses, okay.
Okay, removes the modifier from rare jewel with a new Crarrity crafted, so you got attack speed, attack damage.
Two to four, five to fifteen attack damage. Okay, nothing too crazy.
Maximum rage? Okay, that's pretty potent.
He will air effect and will allow you to add movement speed or air of effects to your jewels, but there are many more
Once you've done enough to layer him encounters the location of a grand mirror and enter wait, that's what scuba is
Well, I look at this and I think of a guy who's like trying to fight he's like
Come at me bro, but you're telling me this it's supposed to be an emo where he's going
that I'm I'm getting pissed off by the zealots
but I can't am I an incell? I'm not
the zealot is pissing me off
guys are you fucking
the opposite of an incell I'm literally a dad of four kids
I thought wait so that email I still see a cat punching I don't see a cat doing a
scuba fucking thing
Okay, just to let you know, Jed, just in case you're wondering.
is left behind which you can consume to fully embrace the madness in an attempt to reach
the Raven Tricks as realm. Consuming the fruit will cover an entire area of the Atlas and
Fox. The poof dude, it's the Astralobe, but it's
the gas version. Every map you do in the Fox will be progressively harder and harder as
you explore the deeper reaches of your mind. I mean that looks fucked. Right am I crazy?
40% delirious dude
40% that's crazy, bro. That's fucking crazy
At some point you enter a new layer a
Simulacrum of your memory
Are you meta cucks in the chat bro? All these meta cucks
All these medical 40% on an ethical character, bro
Dude doing maps on ethical characters hard doing a footage into Larry map is like
Oh
Should you be able to complete the semi-lacrum tank mazu will believe that you are worthy of a true challenge
How about p2 boat? I'm a man in charge of his mirror
Allowing you to enter his realm of madness back at the withered willow
If you dare to face him, it will be a fearsome challenge. That looks fucking sick
What is that what the hell's happening?
What the hell?
That looks sick.
Jewel crafting.
Well, once you've completed the story, Grand Mirrors will start appearing on the Atlas sometimes
after completing Delirium encounters.
After doing the Grand Mirror, you can select where on the Atlas you want to do your fruit-induced
drug trip and get another key to fight Tangmarzu.
But this time the fight will be quite a bit harder and only that the fight will be able to drop a bunch of new
Uniques that were not available in the Gressline version. We'll show some of those later
After doing a grand mirror the decision of where to spread the fog can be important because there are some potent emotions that only come from certain map bosses
POTENT!
Wait, potent emotions that come from certain map bosses, so, okay, so if you want like a particular
Jewelcrafting one, then you go to figure out what the fuck which one to do that on. Interesting.
Affected by DeLarium this way.
Like all emotions, they can craft special mods onto jewels.
But these potent emotions can create mods that you can't get any other way.
So for example...
For example
Same shit this before okay remove ad that just love that so just remove ad all the way in P.E.T.G.A
debilitate enemies on hit when you have an emerald and a Sephiroth socket set it okay
Sephiroth inflict elemental exposure on hit if you have a ruby and emerald socketed
That's pretty strong
Blind enemies on hit if you have a ruby and Sephiroth socket it I mean perm up line to perm her exposure seems nuts
Permanent debilitates also not bad.
All the- those are all pretty damn strong.
And the fact that it's just a single mod, it's not like that's the entire deal.
There's just like, you can have three other insane mods, and then you just get blind on hit.
Three other insane mods. Elemental exposure on hit.
You know?
Dude, that voice is- Bro, that voice's thing is fucked.
Well, he's gonna show that soon, and we're gonna just kinda be like-
Potent Liquid Malancholy is an emotion that can only come from human bosses,
and allows you to add a variety of on-hit effects.
Also, you might want to try installing amulets with these emotions.
Also, you might want to try installing amulets with these emotions.
This is like some shit, this is guilt, fine cold, okay?
They could have some interesting effects.
That's the defense one.
Some powerful notables that do not know-
Oh, fuck, can you just relax with that, bro?
Ruby, level physical damage, cast damage, elemental damage, okay?
Normally exist on the tree.
80% stun recovery, whoa!
Fully broken armor you inflict will also increase this cold line of your stinger from
hits.
Okay, that's not bad, there's a node on the tree that has that fly damage I believe,
right?
Yeah, fully broken armor inflect increases fly damage in a minute, so this is just like
co-lining.
Okay.
Like Storm's Rebuke, which makes armor break boost your cold and lightning damage.
But it's the same as armor break.
Whatever your armor break increases, so basically the way it looks is the more armor break they
have, the more damage it'll take from those hits.
It's 20% by default, but then you can scale it.
The next fire spell you cast yourself after using a walker is Ancestrali Boost.
I mean this one is nuts right?
Ancestrali Boost spells?
That seems ridiculous.
Walker spell cooks it.
Change mind, like Calum's Blessing, this spell actually Ancestrali Boost fire spells after
using a walker.
How about using an ancestral flame blast?
It's a big boy now just like before it's a big boy
That's all right. That looks fucking OP as fuck by the way
Oh, you can also upgrade the league by getting points for a dedicated delirium Atlas tree
But this now works in a much better way and it's much cooler effects the maps in the delirium area
Of the Atlas give you delirium passive points for completing them. That's what that icon is by the way
This little icon at the bottom says one. That's what I've seen that before. I'm like, it must be passive points
That's definitely it, right?
It's easy to see how to progress
Some nodes will add to the air mechanics that 25% will like this born unique boss
It's like a monsters and pauses the delirium for 20 seconds new types of mirror shard encounters to your delirium
Like this one which will pause the delirium for some amount of time allowing you to more easily get to higher depths
or this one which adds a little bit like this one which will pause
but it goes from left to right and then from right to left wait so it left to
right and then from left okay it goes what okay interesting so that means the
start disappears and it gets as you get to the finish
Ahhhhhhhhhh
So what the saying is it starts it spreads but proliferates from the beginning of the map and goes to the end of the map, right?
And then it starts disappearing from the beginning of the map disappearing all the way to the end of the map
I mean, I just yeah, I'd never do you know. Yeah, pretty quickly there before I fucking hate delirium
Well, even on the delirious God chat multiple time back to back delirious God literally logging into an HHS after the delirious
the first the first person in the entire league multiple times
literal hilarious god some lack of beast
okay how's he too canning
how's he too canning you shouldn't be at the two can
it's bypassing to can to do list how the fuck is that
MF doing a 2, can in my chat.
Okay.
The DeLarion for some amount of time,
allowing you to more easily get to higher deaths.
Or this one, which adds extra DeLarion modifiers.
Magic monsters within the fog of 25% chance
of an additional DeLarion modifier.
That sounds awful.
To monsters when you pick it up.
There are also nodes that can add more cancer although you get more loot so obviously if
you get a cracked character the trick is just to have a cracked character and everything
is just more loot right and it's just still easiest one.
But fuck that.
To move the liquid emotions increased drop by monsters, the liquid emotions to 20% chance
there would be ancient liquid emotions or new types of drops like this one which modifies
Yo, so that crossed the jewel. Attack damage, cost bait, or attack smite. Isn't that kind
of nuts? Notable passes and skill give you troops an attack smite. How many, how many
notable passes can you have in a range? Wait, how many, you guys trying to 2k in my chat
right now, bro?
If I semi-lacrum encounters to add special liquid emotions, which can craft time-lost jewels.
And note, if I'm not mistaken, to add some lacrum and delirium foggy spreading Grand
Mirrors.
Mmmmm.
So it applies to the Atlas mechanics of the League.
Like this one, which causes the Grand Mirror to spread delirium fog over a larger area
of the Atlas, potentially containing multiple simulacrums.
Alright, so that's the changes to Delirium.
Fuck that.
The core mechanic now includes a bunch of new things to find, new monsters to kill, and
has new mechanics on the Atlas.
It also has a new crafting system for jewels, and over 20 new unlockable notables for amulets.
Not only that, but you have a new pinnacle boss with a bunch of new unique items, and
a massively upgraded Atlas tree just for Delirium.
But there's still a lot more to come, so let's talk about Breach next.
When you first do a breach in the endgame, you'll find Aelith, one of the keepers of
the flanks.
Yes, this is literally just an ancient order of monks dedicated to preventing the hive
borne from entering the world.
As you seem to be a keen slayer of demons, Aelith would like to recruit you to the order
and asks that you travel to their monastery to the south.
On the way there, you'll start to encounter more breaches and will notice one of the first
changes to the breach mechanic.
You can't have a breach in joy.
You're still off to kill monsters as fast as you can to get the breach in joy.
And now you can visibly see how much time you have left to keep it open, and how each kill extends its duration.
Once you've reached the monastery, you will learn more about the keepers.
In the 25 years since the events of Keepers of the Flame and Path of Exile 1, the war with the Hiveborn has not gone well, and they have managed to establish a foothold in the world thereby.
A gigantic area has fallen to the scourge, and the keepers are unable to get inside.
Inside the monastery is the Genesis tree, a powerful asset to the war effort, stolen from the enemy and gifted to the keepers by the dreamer himself.
Using the tree, Aeloth could create a breach stone and penetrate the Hiveborn foothold, but without Hiveblood, the tree has withered.
To get Hiveblood, you will need to take advantage of another new mechanic of breach.
If you can keep the otherworldly portal open for long enough, the breach will stabilize and will enter a new phase.
The Hiveborn will send their toughest miscreations to defeat you, and the Breach will not close
until you can annihilate them, dropping Hiveblood that you can use to restore the Genesis Tree.
Do breaches get resource?
In some cases, you may even attract one of the deadliest foes the Hiveborn can offer,
a Marshal of Zest.
These monsters also drop Worm Gifts, and if you take these to the Genesis Tree, they can
can be used to craft items.
Brolin amulet, chassis, his amulet.
Given that twenty-five years have passed since the beginning of the war, the tree has grown
and withered many times, but with each cycle it learns and expands its abilities.
When you first open the Genesis Tree, you will notice these holes into which you can
place your Wimgifts.
Each Wimgift-
Yes, we've got belts, amulet, currency, ring.
That's it.
used to create a different type of jewelry, and must be fertilized with hive blood.
Yeah, jewelry only.
So for example, you can place this amulet worm gift into the tree, and it will give
birth to a random rare amulet.
But the Genesis tree is capable of much more.
As you continue to feed the tree, its branches will regenerate, and allow you more and more
control over what kind of items it will birth.
What's that gonna, like it sounds like, it was like quite specific, are we gonna print
items with this or what?
So for example, like, birthings cannot be blood-zone anal, so the fact that you get to select the fucking base type is nyeh.
Why? I guess maybe you don't select, you make it more likely to be the base type you want.
This branch of the tree will allow you to control which base types of amulets can be birthed.
Cannot be gul-
And as you go deeper-
1% reduced.
Consumes 1% reduced blood, high blood.
And as you go deeper, it will even allow you to have a 5% chance to be a laminate, important
or absent amulets.
Ooh.
You're going to create new base types that you can't get anywhere else.
Like this one.
So it's got what, this eternal rage, minus 1 prefix, minus 1 suffix, but you get like
level to fucking 19 skill which is like a it's like a full-on skill you can
support by the way so was you an entire spirit skill for free
but for free for free or this one what's it what does it do
item gains bonuses from socketed items as though it was a helmet
whoo so there's probably some insane helmet mods right
Free was my stuff. Yeah, but for enough means it depends on the good disparate skills, right? I mean, you know
Which has a rune socket in it
What's it? What's the one you putting? What's the example? He's doing it or this one which has a rune socket in it?
Does it?
maximum
To the left and right of branches that will let you
Okay, I said like both of us always have a life modifier both of them's always have an armor
stationary shoe modifier both of them's always have resistance modifier control which mods the
amulet can get mmm including making sure that they're limited resistance modifiers have a minimum
level of 50 damn what for minor modifiers have a minimum of our liberal 40 I mean this does look
good sign for HSSF right? And what are my notes? Breach, this for HSSF getting belts, rings,
amulets, I could just write jewelry. High level? Or controlling which specific mods
that they will always have lightning, always have mana, always have an armor modifier.
With 15 points to allocate, you will have to choose wisely how you want to specialise
your crafts.
I'm going to maximum mod tier with like fucking life bro and then just getting lucky.
So Vixen mods on birth items roll their values, 2 different times to keep the highest value
because fuck about that.
But it's worth noting that this tree doesn't have any cost to respect it.
You can enable or disable the nodes at any time by clicking on them.
On rings we've also added some really interesting new crafting options as well.
Plus one max radius, 6% increase maximum life, maximum life, I mean dude, increase, yo, yo, yo, wait what the hell?
Yo, what the hell?
That's actually good for pewee dude. That's like 6% more life by the way for pewee 2 this is insane
Breach has frickin 6% max life rings
We met always is like whatever you don't you don't a fist damage in pewee 2 right
this item gains bonuses and socketed Jim's is it was gloves let's come in
it's gonna be uniquely strong right bunch of new base types like these but you
also have entire new classes of mods that can be added the right hand branch of
the ring tree adds an entire new set of cast of mods to rings from basics like
extra elemental that the right hand branch bro damage for spells
or more niche options like this mod that increases the rate you gain sales for
unleash
hell nah get the fuck out of here with this oh shit
see what infirmity is a lot and on the left hand side you can unlock an entire set of mods
get it to the right hand side left hand side
the fuck out of here bro the fuck out of here
for minion characters get the fuck out of here this stuff is actually pretty
important
because casters and minion builds didn't have as many slots
Minus have a surpassing chance of a vireneutral proge
That one's insane
Wait you can get two proge on minions from ring suffixes?
What
What is surpassing? Supparsing means you can go over 100% bro
Means it goes over 100 so basically you can get yeah, I mean this is nuts
There's not even a downside and it's like a lot of stuff that gets an additional product just doubles the damage or trouble
They give it shotguns. It has extra price a shotgun. How is that not gonna be broken?
Because I'm explaining to you how this is not gonna be broken. It's like you're getting a free LMP just from your rings on your minions
Lots of interesting item crafting compared to attack builds the Genesis tree narrows that gap
there are also trees for belts and
And currency I won't go over them too much here, but there are all sorts of goodies in these two
Like being able to create its quality denounces five modifiers on a jewel
Okay, it's a quality that adds cast of a person to a jewel
That's quality enhance its arm renovation easier one person a jewel
That's quality that answers your treatment fires on a jewel. Okay new catalysts with jewels
Your jewels weren't strong enough so we're just buffing jewels
or a belt that gives lightning damage
once you've done enough breach encounters
you may finally get a worm gift capable of birthing a breach stone
and you can then use it on the Hive 1 incursion
once used the true extent of the breach demon's foothold becomes clear
They have not only transformed the land but constructed huge sky hives as well
When you enter the outskirts of their realm you will discover breach hives
Using the power of the keepers of the flame these other worldly structures can be burned away when walking through them
But for each one destroyed more of the hiveborn will attack when you attempt to purge the hive
These encounters are particularly rewarding for womb gifts, so you'll want to do as many
of these as you can.
But your real goal are the sky hives deeper into the domain.
These twisted creations are securing the demons'...
I must admit, the way that they're doing it in P2, it seems more organic, right?
You can see the skyhive, you're going towards it physically on the map and you're progressing towards it, you go through and then you actually arrive at it, you click on it, you go in, you're in the sky thing. It's kinda cool.
To our world.
It flows better, I think.
Inside the very center are the Breach Lords, Tull and Ash, and you'll need to defeat them if you want to get rid of the foothold once and for all.
Now, once you've completed the questline version, there's still more to do.
You will find other Breach Domains on the Atlas randomly in your travels.
For each one you will need to find a breach. Yeah, that's cool actually wait
I understand now because obviously when I watched the first time I was like, huh?
We're just gonna open me too much stuff, but now I'm able to just pause and really understand what's going on
This is like a more organic way of doing breach and
The breaches are actually cool the way that like the breaching opens the section of the map
But I mean it's fucking cool right? That's a cool idea. This is a really cool idea and you get these special encounters
It's cool
sky hives you don't normally get the sky hives by default you just your
breechings on your map will just be like ram little hand you kill the mobs but
when you're doing the breech stone then you get the specialized zone you need to
defend or the fucking wolf you need to break down a black jet and defeat the
breech lords and during these encounters is what look if you access to fight
zesht the existing breach panicle boss which you can access like you mean with
dreamer himself holy shit what the fuck's happening the fuck's that what the hell is this
sure bro what happened i don't understand
someone gives subs that i'm gonna find out no wait why did that just happen
did that just happen who knows beside the monastery
while completing the quest sign for breach you will also be gaining points for the breach
atlas tree and there are a lot of cool new options here this node will completing breaches
which is a 10 minute chance to add a hive to a nearby map.
Cause breach hives to spawn outside of the hive spawn domains on the island.
Ah, okay.
And this one will give Aelith additional abilities that you can use while attacking a hive.
Like this one, which causes all hive spawn in the next wave to be measured,
drastically increasing their difficulty and exchange for more hives.
Sorry to give her a live though, bro. What?
There are also nodes that allow you to control...
Vruun, Martial, is the 20% chance to draw by linear support, bro. Wait, that's just a node you speak into?
Vruun, to ask the math. So, Border War Cryz calls Ice Crystals to explode. Border War Cryz detonate your Ice Fragment.
Border War Cryz empower three additional attacks if they destroy at least a total of five Ice Crystals and Ice Fragments.
Hmmmm.
All your rewards. Like this one, which adds a set of new lineage supports to a Martial of Zest.
Your Ice Crystal, Andy.
Or this one, which lets you control which Womb Gifts you will get.
okay like that there's also some nodes that affect the genesis tree like this
one which will cause zesh to drop his head this is when he returns with a
genesis tree will grow a grasswing orchid on the side of it you'll have to
experiment to find out what this thing is for
this is cool this is they wake all the way than venering the rings this is so
Oh
Putting rings on its fingers seems to make it happy
So that's a rundown
Which quest line doesn't used to be immersion bro the immersion. I love it
I love it. Well, it's not a low if it's a great. It'll be grasping mail by like pewee 2 right?
So I mean, maybe it'll just be the same thing global defenses or whatever the fuck it is
But yeah, I mean it could be like a bunch of different unique ones. They come out who knows
But yeah, it's wake all the men are in the rings stabilization mechanic for breaches
Hive encounters and hide-borne incursions.
Well, I like it because you can, A, there's a note that lets you farm a particular support.
There's another note that lets you create a particular chess piece.
You get those that allow you to target what you want.
There's a lot of control over what you're trying to get, which I think is really nice.
And the Atlas.
But you also have a huge new crafting system and new bosses as well.
Alright, so let's talk about the Writer of the Nameless storyline next.
When you first complete a ritual in the endgame, Ipha, a lost spirit, will appear.
She appears to need your help, but isn't able to communicate more than a few words,
beckoning you to come to the Wildwood.
Like the other leagues, ritual now has a place on the Atlas to call home.
The Wildwood could be found to the west.
When you first arrive there, Ipha's spirit will guide you in,
where you will discover that inside the Wildwood, spirits can take physical form.
Ifa has been bound to this place by the king and the mists and requests that you free her,
but in order to do so, you will need her body currently in possession of the king.
To reclaim it, you will need to gain an audience with him.
Inside the Wildwood, there are many ritual encounters to complete.
Like before, in each area triggering rituals will resurrect the nearby bound monsters to attack you,
and killing the monsters will give you tribute.
In addition, each ritual you do in the area will be-
Ritual PUE2 is so hot, bro.
Like, training my mom.
Maybe I'm playing- I might just be-
This might be coming from an ethical build, POV,
but like, bro, you like stuck in this confined space
and everything's like almost one-chilling you,
like, I don't know, dude.
Obviously, it's like one of the things where
I just don't like doing it.
I don't like doing it in PUE2.
I just don't like doing it, it is fucking-
Maybe it's, maybe they're different now, but like, good.
It feels like you're stuck there
and the don'ts you do is just fuck your ass.
That's what it feels like you just lubed up you just take it maybe yeah, yeah
I mean illan probably destroys the rituals true at the monsters from the previous ritual
Making the encounters much more challenging and more rituals you complete
Once you've completed them spend your tribute to get items mean now in a cave ritual
Ritual looks crazy good SSF
spam
drops
Uniques
Important change to the rewards of ritual is that all the items in the reward window are now uniques or omens, but
Especially early game
Plus also crafting items
Making this league's rewards much more valuable than before
In order to gain an audience with the nameless king you need to sacrifice tribute to him
Any remaining tribute you don't spend can be sacrificed this way to fill up this bar.
Once you have enough tribute for an audience, return to the Wildwood to divine his location
with the Nameless Shrine. His location will be revealed deeper in the Wildwood,
and you will need to make your way to him, kill him,
and get Yiffa's body.
The Queen, we save her.
Using her body, you can attempt to release her spirit,
but this is when you learn about the true threat of the league.
The Wildwood is built on top of an ancient prison.
The king and the mists didn't gain his power out of nowhere.
He was granted a true ancient being of darkness known as the Bodak,
and the nameless king's use of this power has been causing the prison to weaken.
In order to prevent the Bodak from entering the world,
a champion will need to enter its prison and beat him back,
but those with a name are unable to survive there.
In order to do so, you will need to transfer your name to another,
with a new mechanic in the Ritual League, the Rite of the Nameless.
The Rite will begin in a nearby forest. At first it appears to be a regular ritual encounter,
but that will soon change. The final ritual of the area will include the Mat Boss.
And defeating him will give you a piece of the effigy of the ritual transfer you need.
Oh my god bro, that's so 8.
but the ritual is still not complete once the map boss is defeated the atlas will
open and you will need to pick another ejection I get worried okay
contribute ritual only just currency a decent map to continue the ritual during
the right each adjacent map will have different rewards to tempt you so for
example if you go in this direction you gain significantly more tribute but if
you go in this direction the unique some reward window will turn into a good
I'm going Karate, bro.
The mageblood!
Damn, that's a fucking mageblood.
Shoot on him, bro.
Midi-cooks.
I'm going five cassobs.
Now, as this is one continuous ritual, the encounters in the next map won't start from
scratch.
They contain all the monsters that were gathered from the rituals of the previous map as well,
making them harder and harder.
What the fuck is that?
And that includes the map boss too.
You will need to defeat both map bosses in the final...
It seems like...
I mean this is completely ruckus.
Okay, so if the game's balanced around like telegraph mechanics and like Dark Souls 1
shots and shit, how the fuck are we supposed to dodge these attacks when there's fucking
15 bosses in there some shit you know I'm saying oh my god out of your next
effigy piece oh my god still doesn't in there get good pick another map well I
didn't see it I didn't see it ritual re-rolling rituals is no cost of a
time another reward and add another map boss to continue until the ritual is
complete it will take five maps in all and will be an incredible channel
Well, that's gonna be so cancer, bro.
Once complete, you can return to the Wildwood to perform the final rite.
Transfer your name to the FG.
Dude, if I'm sitting there on HC thinking like,
man, that looks so fucking rippy, dude.
Like, imagine if I had the monkey and four of the bosses at the same time.
Like, how the fuck is your average guy gonna do that, bro?
Oh my God.
Like, I'm a god gamer, 10 out of 10 beast.
Literally complete freak of nature.
the gaming god
and i'm looking at the g's louise is looks fucked
how the fuck is your average game to do this
at dawn the crown of the nameless came away to the prison
no way
now of course once the pinnacle bosses complete the league doesn't end there
as you do rituals on the atlas you can continue to get
uh... means that you need to get back in life
increase the amount of interest is equal to yours
You have tribute to the king and the mists.
Wow, plus one to all skills.
Level five, wow.
I wonder what that upgraded vision of that looks like.
For another audience.
I wish it was no data mining, bro,
and everyone just had to go in.
Like, not knowing what, you know,
wouldn't it be cool if there was no data mining
and like, everyone just had to go in
and loot the items and upgrade them all?
Picking up the first.
One divine orb.
Ooh.
Begin the Rite of the Nameless once more, and this time with a harder pinnacle boss and
new unique items to find.
Of course we've also significantly upgraded the Ritual Atlas tree.
Get points by completing maps in the Wildwood, and you'll be able to unlock some pretty cool
nodes.
Some of them affect the Rite of the Nameless, like this one which extends its duration.
You thought fighting five map bosses at once was hard, how about six?
Or this one which makes maps during the Rite have more reward mods, often having two.
Okay, greater an element
No cost, okay, you also have notes that allow things to combine with other content
Which also if it isn't other people in 70 circles something additional boss when I go to yeah, okay good
Oh shit, so you could have even more bosses with even more bosses
Okay
Like this one, which gives a chance for rituals to be created inside summoning zones, adding
a random boss to the ritual encounter.
There is even a node which adds a-
Rituals that 50% chance for you to be the Queen's ritual, adding a Favors when found.
Adela, the second man, Adela the Marta, Adela the Marta, what the hell's that?
New type of possible ritual, the audience with the Queen, which causes the bride of the
King to sometimes appear.
Okay, so that's Ritual. But let's have a look at what this means for endgame
content as a whole for Path of Exile 2. When you include the expedition changes
made by the League, we have a total of five new endgame storylines, each of
which has a hub, crafting systems, areas to explore, NPCs, and a critical boss of a capstone.
Want to mention the masters of the Atlas storyline as well. But more importantly,
you now have immediate quests as soon as you arrive at the endgame, and goals
with obvious progressions that you can see how to finish. Each endgame questline
has a comment reading this so it just shows you expedition bosses defeated one
four virtual atlas skill points acquired breached enigma chambers the fuck is the
enigma chamber patriarch and matriarch all completed it's very simple skill
points acquired oh god it's very temple I need to remember how the fuck the
mechanic works best points I like it best I remember like I remember thinking
Abyss was cool. I remember thinking it was retarded like what's pretty close to tablets and we're like lagging the game out and everything
We get all buggy, but I remember thinking like I like the the unveil I didn't remember how the unveil worked
But it was good because he would like reliably get you a decent item
Maybe you had like something that was pretty good
Then you'd do like an abyss slam or gonna best reveal or there was some shit you would do
Well then omen in the abyss it was like consistently a satisfying feeling
It was like veiling a mod, right?
You basically could choose a prefecture of suffix that you wanted to veil and then you
could unveil it.
It's basically like a veiled castle metacraft, but yeah, that's what it was.
You can pop out from the side of the outlet screen at any time.
This shows you how far through you are and buttons that will take you to the hubs for
them.
Overall, it's just a way better end game experience with a significant number of fun
objectives to complete. But just in case, well, in-game experience, the significant
number of fun objectives to complete.
He's a fucking shape-shifter. He's a shape-shifter. He's shape-shifting.
He's AI, is he real? But just in case you didn't have enough goals,
We did have one other thing you might want to complete this leak.
These are called challenge leaks after all.
I do not see that.
They're all the challenges.
Well, players, the path of XR1 will be used to the fact that each leak comes with a series
of challenges that you can complete in order to prove that you are indeed the best.
We haven't done these yet in part of XR2.
I've never done these in PLE1 ever.
Should I do this?
Because do you know what?
It's one of the things where I feel like I missed the boat.
Everyone was doing them before me, so I'm like, why do I even care?
I haven't done it.
Do I start doing them?
Do I start doing them in PvE 2 because I'm at this beginning?
Like, I don't know.
Then again, this seems like an artificial hook to get you playing longer than you might
otherwise play.
Like, I don't know if this really seems like a good, I don't know if I initially like it
or not.
But it's time to change that.
If you're able to- The only reason I'm thinking about doing it is because of FOMO.
That's it.
I mean, you gotta look at it.
You hear it, look at it.
I'ma set.
Opening the challenge screen will show you a-
And that gear looks so good.
Like, dude, that was like, bro, imagine D4 just giving you three set of armors that looks fucking badass as hell, and it's like not a tantrum shop or anything.
Holy fuck.
You'll earn pieces of the night of elder armor set
Opening the challenge screen will show you a series of eight times
After completing each one anyone in chat or in the forums will be able to see your prowess
In addition, you'll get a statue to put in your hideout showing anyone you trade with how many challenges you've completed
You'll earn the first piece of the armor set after doing two challenges and the full armor set after completing all eight
So that covers all the content you'll encounter in return of the ancients
But what about some new tools to fight against these new pinnacles with?
Well, we also have some new Ascendancy classes as well, but to introduce them, I'll hand
you guys back to Mark.
As Jonathan said, we have two new classes to show you today, the Spirit Walker and the
Martial Artist.
Let's start with the Huntress's new class, the Spirit Walker.
The Spirit Walker has developed an affinity with the Asmarian animal spirits.
She is able to infuse the power of multiple spirits at her choosing.
In the bottom part of the class you will find parts for each wisp you would like to commune
with.
Be they primal, gain primal alf either, every 4 seconds of management of 3, expand alf either
when you do a dodge or trigger a primal bounty.
Grants killed primal bounty.
Vivid Grants of vivid stampede grants, Vivid's Wisp, every 20 minutes you move at the maximum
3 expend all with the wisps to trigger vivid stampede when you attack or
Wild
Grounds while protected
That's this the be that protects you right each one can give you different abilities that align with the stag owl or beer
Each ability gives you can move it stampede convinced
Lunning shock already so should mean stag that's four times. Okay, so does shock attack them as 362 percent
well that's high right that's a lot of damage that's a lot of damage and you
could six like that has a lot of damage
a method to become possessed by wisps of that type and a new ability when you
spend them the stag allows you to summon stampede when you attack
it's keep moving
the owl grants bones and the four
okay
uh... a power and powers the next projectiles that you use causing it to create additional
Predictals and plant pasta past skills five to additional predictors and past skills skills have 68% increased original speed
That's close at 30% increased predictor speed
But that's it just works
I mean that looks overpowered as fuck and it's like that's what I would use it
I'd use it for that exact bail by the way that I mean that bill looks fucking good bro
Primal bounty
um tornado gamer gg your gg built home of their fiddlers which adds extra projectiles and enhances the projectile speed of your next skill
and the uh let's be right be a bear man there's something cool upon a companion to mull your foes bear bear leaves your enemy mains and leaves your life
with a slime and a pair of the roast intimidating enemies the bear does uh the bear spirit does not count
can't watch a companion limit.
Bear simply summons a giant fear companion to your side.
The bear will maul, slam, leap, and do intimidating rolls to debuff your enemies.
Now you can special-
Game vivid wasp when you vivid- when vivid stampede ends.
Stag does 20% more damage per leap, Stag said 20% more shockmang to you per leap.
I mean that seems fucking strong by the way because that's super high damage and it can be six linked
Flies more into each of these what dodging can expand up to three alpha this grinding probably a hundred percent more empowerment effect
perfectly expended I
Mean that that seems crazy, bro. That's it. It's just doubles it bro. It doubles it
I mean, that's an insane as in as you point for the tornado build
insane
but if you want to combine all three of them and then you've got the barrage
note or whatever the fuck it is, right? companion steal attack damage equal to
60% of your main hand weapon image whoa whoa relax what the hell just a bunch of
flat damage to your fucking companions holy shit then a new hidden power will
be unlocked the power of this vivid stage lead towards enemies central
sample of our feather and powers skills and leaves us sure with sore and
ground they could wisps this note is free and enhances the quality of all
three of your spirit animals your bear will take
protects the bear wait embrace the wild protects the bear spirit allies when
there in its presence, giving them 2% of maximum life regenerated per second, causing 8% of
the damage they would take to be taken by the spirit bearer instead.
Soren Ground grants 30% increased invasion rating and 40% increased damage while on full
life to you or your ally standing in it.
Soren Ground has a 4 second restoration of this aloe-specific odor.
Some of the damage you take and grant you life regeneration, your stags will become more
aggressive leaping towards enemies and your owl empowered skills will leave a trail of
soaring ground behind them. But that's not all. The spirit walker has other powers beyond
wisps such as idolatry, which can give you large bonuses for using idle socketables in
your equipment. Accuracy rating, what else did it have? A tree. Which can give you large
bonuses for using idle gloves for temps and accuracy rating. So just like new, what the
fuck do you got? Wearing ass idols you can put in your gear. This seems like a poor person
thing. What was this? 10% increase in damage per idle in your equipment. 2% increase in
minor reservation per idle in your equipment. Minus 4 to all resistances per non idle in
your equipment. OOOH.
What socketable is in your equipment?
And this one.
Time base. This is crazy. Time base can
get a unique base, can have up to one
unique time base summoned. Unique
time base have 30% increase in movespeed.
Time base are possessed by random
esmeralda experts changing every 20 seconds.
This is some fucking crazy
divorce shape, bro.
I mean, I'll allow it.
I will allow it, bro.
It just seems like it's going to be broken, right?
How's this not going to be broken?
How's this not going to be broken, dude?
Which is my absolute favorite.
The Spiritwalker having a tune to self with nature
can gain the ability to tame beast bosses.
Opening up a whole suite of very cool options for your build.
It's either like a boss that's going to be complete gimmick, right?
And dog shit?
Or it's going to have some broken ass debuff
debuff which like gives you triple damage or it's gonna have some mechanic which
you can like scale the projectiles on and it does like fucking 20 times as much
damage as every other other minion. It's gonna be so crazy how different
then again they are hand crafting them aren't they? Each version of the tamed
boss is like a handcrafted version so I guess we'll see. Maybe you tamed the
mighty silver fist and the jungle deaths. I mean that looks fucking cool bro like
You summon the fucking monkey and you just like one taps the boss for you
Bring the mighty silver first on the jungle like what?
Just so in the money is that's one turn. I mean, I don't know
Summon
Summoning boss guy monkey build
Or maybe a three-headed chimeral beast in the chimeral wetlands.
The trait of this build is that you can't see shit on the screen because the boss covers
half of it.
Imagine your monkey fighting another monkey.
What if you lose track of which monkey's which?
There's a giant frozen owl beast, R'Kar, the frozen talon.
There's so many choices.
You're going to have to experiment a bunch with this one, and I'm very excited to see
what bosses you all choose to have as your trusted boss companion.
This is basically specters, but for bosses, right? They basically just invented specters for bosses.
Next up, we have the monks near us.
So now they have to rebalance every boss that's a beast.
Like, we'll have to make a specter version basically, yeah.
Nessie class, the martial artist. After decades of training, he has mastered three of the seven
holo techniques channel okay holo form requires any melee martial weapon or
unarmed channel to create fleeting images of your astral self near the
target location these images perform a socket attack once then vanish kind of
reminds me of generals cry actually so you channel target of the closest enemy
possible these images cannot perform channel skills or conditional skills
Oh, that's what you would do. You would do a channel skill and this is generals cry. You do play flurry, right?
But yes, if they deliberately saying fuck you can't do that, buddy
We just can be created within six meter radius of you creating an image
Spends 80% of the stock of the mama skills cost
Creates two digital images when consuming a power charge. I see said generate power charges
right
Put in some ability that's fucking make sense like this really really strong high damage
precious channel button
Bang, he likes somethings that a bunch of dudes that just do a crazy burst
So the skills still stubs in less tech speed, 20% less damage
The fuck?
Playing hollow form technique allows the martial artist to create illusions of himself
Which then use a skill of your choosing
Perfect for turning skills with less area of effect into ones that can obliterate packs with ease
It's pretty funny that the gameplay is just stand still bro like it's me just rock up press a button
And it just starts going crazy. I must admit it kind of does remind me of like yeah
It's like it's like if they combined bled flurry with generous cry or something
Should you find yourself overly vulnerable while channeling you might want to take away of them?
I just stand there where they get gaming
gaming
Alright, I'm fucking owning
Okay, where we 200% surpassing per enemy power
to gain mountains teaching on immobilizing an enemy up to maximum of 30.
Okay, let me just consume that. Let me just chew on that for a second chat. Just chewing
on that. 200% surpassing chance per enemy power to gain mountain teaching on immobilizing
an enemy up to a maximum of 30. Okay. Instead of boss to serve for more power. All right.
of mountains teaching when you are hit or when you use or sustain an attack that benefits
from mountains teaching.
Oh my god, while you have any amount of mountains teaching, attacks, you use yourself and attack
grounded by the vicinity glass to deal 20% more damage.
Enemies hits you take that would deal damage less than or equal to 30% of your maximum life
After mitigation such as our resistors but before other modifiers today was taken deals 70% less damage
huh
So I
Attacks that would do less than 30% of your damage so it's a any attack that's like armor almost
So heads that aren't above a certain threshold do way less damage
So Gigatanky vs Non-OneCharts.
All amounts of teachings are lost if you go 8 seconds without gaining any.
Hmm, interesting.
Up to a maximum of 30.
I see.
So you have to gain it.
You gain it by doing a mobilization.
Wow!
Okay, so I get it.
I get it.
Basically, you get these fucking stacks, chat.
get these fucking stacks by doing immobilizing on enemies.
Bosses give you way more stacks, non-bosses give you less stacks,
it gives you big damage reduction versus
non-one shots.
I don't like the immobilizing condition. I'm not a huge fan of that, but obviously you can consistently do that.
The boss is in the PE too, so maybe it's fine.
It causes you to be covered in stone when you immobilize enemies,
Mitigating large amounts of damage
This can even enhance your attacks too by hardening your weapon and stop it. Why do they put the fucking duration on it bruh?
All says well if you got eight seconds without getting any so you have to consider every single you need to immobilize the boss
Otherwise it falls off
See to me. This is not a Shragna like it's cool if you could like consistently do it at the right time. I guess but
Like it's conditional on you not getting one shot, so then it doesn't help you versus the damage that you need it versus
It's kind of like that bad design about you know armor how it's like
Just useless when you actually need it
So it's like I it's useless when you actually need it B
It's inconsistent because you have to immobilize the boss every eight seconds. Otherwise you lose all stacks
I feel like this is gonna immediately get redesigned if it doesn't get redesigned before the fucking it comes out
right you can deal even more damage after take I got I think I think that we're
gonna that reminds me of like the warden one that actually they released it was
dog shit and then they actually passed it and that's okay that's what that
reminds me of hello focus other focus buff position a duration while I'm
gonna go see bells pearly P&E you hit some media destroy bells creating a
shockwave that damages nearby enemies causes heavy send the enemies to the
primed, these bells themselves are always primed for stun and can be curled.
Oh, so wait, you can curl it and you can proc stun effects on it.
The Shockwave does 341% damage and it can be six linked.
Do you know, I saw this and that whenever I watched this and didn't see the nut,
like how does she worked, I saw this and I was thinking, that looks kind of stupid.
But actually, now the fact you can like, you could death palm it or you could do
attacks at like proc shit when they when you when you hit the stunned enemy so
like it's a guaranteed prime for stun thing that you can spam on boss fights
or you can call them to get charges for example during boss fights and it's a
six-ling ability that does 341% damage that's actually pretty fucking good right
that's actually pretty good and it's engaging gameplay because you have to
walk around and aim at the bell.
Taking hollow focus technique you can manifest your spiritual energy into
Objects in this case he's he's calling it to get powders bells
Which will appear around the martial artist and can be shattered by any of his attacks
Even ones from the hollow form technique some D4s gameplay bro earlier
Hollow resonance technique further. Let's go. I say that but people can please complete trainers not even default gameplay
But like it's funny that is that
Bells
you deal a critical strike your time is your one job enemies around you oh sure
all of them okay can tattoo runes on your body getting additional room sockets
one helmet two body armor one gloves one boots so this I think is gonna be very
strong on trade league right like if you have like the most insane cracked
broken runes all you have a character that scours with some broken rune like I
remember helmets for thorns build helmet socket is crazy because it's like
Base critical strike chance at the ones or something stupid. It's like it's some insane amount of credit
I don't remember how much it was, but it's ridiculous, right?
So like this for a devil would be very good. Although I may be already know if at this point
I don't remember
partial artists thorough training
He has mastered the flow of internal spiritual energy to and has engraved runic tattoos around his meridians
By doing this he can gain the benefit of extra runes. Just open your inventory and add the runes
There is one that counts as a helmet two as a body armor one as gloves and one as boots
It's pretty that's pretty fun cool actually
That's pretty cool. I mean it's nice. It's a cool design though
Gloves you'll cover a base that transform the defensive stone when equipped and their prefixes and suffixes
transformed into more powerful related modifiers
Dude, this is insane. This is unhinged. Isn't this so unhinged that GGG are making all this
work for themselves? This means that every single fucking time they add in a pair of gloves
now they gotta do this. This is unhinged that they're doing this.
Finally, your hands. The ultimate expression of a master of the martial arts. Taking way
of the stone fist will cause your gloves to become a new base type when equipped. Each
Each modifier on the original pair of gloves has an equivalent more powerful and more impactful
modifier.
For example, these gloves add some physical damage, cold damage, lightning damage, some
resistances and life gain on hits.
Now when they equip these, they become literal fests of-
So you got max res instead of increased res, you got gain damage as extra physical, gain
Nicole there's a sure gang see what the fuck and then you got 13 life on it with the tax put if you've dealt with girls
recently
Interesting and he also got the rest. So that's a hybrid mode
So you get a lower amount of res but an increased max res amount. I mean it's fucking strong, bro
so you can have like
triple max res with res with triple gang
Answer yeah, I mean that'd be nuts, right?
Just a pair of gloves and plus three to evasion per level plus one max ES per level
That's 300 ES 300
I mean 100 ES
300 evasion
Stone and not only grant me a bunch more evasion and energy shield
They now also grant a lot more damage some maximum resistances and a significantly higher amount of life gained on hitting in a minute
Dude Monk
Gloves broken
Fist of stone build
Lots of crazy combos
Very tanky good scaling. I mean
But all the different room combinations you could do and the different modifiers and gloves
There's a ton of different build options and we're looking forward to seeing what you can come up with
Elon's gonna now fucking boi.
Now with so many new bosses in Return of the Ancients, of course we want to have a huge number of unique rewards
There are some pretty cool things in here. So we wanted to show you a few of them
Twisted Imperium is a two-handed ma-
Okay, what do we got here? Turner Mace, 144 to 299
And uh, stab, starborn onslaught fucking 176 to 387 cold 300 maximum mana
So 10% base crit on it 17% of damage taken from mana before life. Wow. You get a fucking mom
It takes with this uh hits with the slip and have added cold damage equals to seven
to 11 of maximum mana
Convert 100% of fine damage with may skills to cold damage
But this thing is insanely fucking cool, bro. What?
What?
Fucking mana
Stacking new mace item bomb plus crazy scaling
bro this is fucking cool cold damage equal to 7 to 11% of max mana on top of a decent
amount of fucking flat fares on top of a decent amount of flat ellie it's made from the purest
of orisian combined with the beasts correct do you think this drops what do you think
This is like a giga item that drops my giga boss
Yeah
Convert all of your maces skills fire damage to cold and my baby does so too turning your volcanic fissures into glacial ones
This space also comes with its own built-in skill starborn
Using glory you can leap backwards
Throwing your mace at the ground creating voracious and fissures before calling behind it a storm of cold metallic bolts from the stratosphere
this is fucking cool right what next we have even tight pistol detour us make
it do they're not only yeah I need to play that where we make night the Zenith
40 maximum runic ward okay increase crit int light radius ice crystals
to produce maximum life per 5% coverage you have I'll see just pop your last
crystals to really only grants runic ward but also comes with its own
reservations on this.
Midna is in it. While active critical hits with other skills that kill targets or
hit powerful targets cause you to gain arctic petals once you have enough arctic
petals they'll be consumed to create ice crystals near the most recent target.
The skill cannot cause mid skills to generate energy you cannot gain at
market petals from this skills critical hits so I don't want any of these
recursive loops there's a lot of specifics things here plus one Arctic
petal per power of target kill the crit words plus four Arctic petals on
critiquing a rare or unique target you see so you basically get these petals
the petals turn into ice you bob the ice GG
Midnight Zenith this skill causes your critical hits to grant Arctic petals
that hover around you once you have a level 90 I think this is in-game
boss loot right these are like insane items to show you they let build the
bunny arms you make a whole character around like blasts acquired enough of
these petals they will be consumed creating a floral ice crystal near an
enemy then destroy that crystal to do devastating cold damage to everything
around it. The Raven's flock is a staff perfect for minion
characters. MDS is fucking sick on this character by the way. Raven's flock staff grants 19
sparkly conspiracy, minions deal increased damage, 115 by the way, minions have 13% chance
to inflict grueling mana on it. Fucks that. 43% increased spirit reservation skills, okay?
It does. Not only does it grant spirit reservation efficiency and minion damage,
It also allows your minions to inflict gruelling madness on hit, slowing enemies and making all
other slows on them more powerful for maximum crack control.
Bolt and slows.
That's not where this item shines though. It grants a skill called spiraling conspiracy.
Ah, that thing!
This skill causes a flock of ravens to circle you, dealing damage over time to anything near
them.
See, to me this is advertising the peoe oneification of the game. They're like saying,
look dudes we're giving you shit now you can just legit at one like we've got
move and you've got this fucking crow thing and it's just kind of shit you
could just have like this character and like hey you got you got RF with crows
at home killing enemies or just by standing near you need me they're gonna
have a lot of stuff shit right like I mean I love aoe deans this round your
character okay I'm a I'm gonna enjoy my favorite my favorite thing of Walker
free of all time was the cloak of emulation. Causes the flock to grow, getting larger and
larger. For your POE 1 players, you can think of this just like a raven righteous fire. That's
not all however. These ravens are also minions, so they fully scale with minion damage and
come with their own command skill, mad flight. The fact it gets a bonus ability as well,
that's just like it. Look, hey, it's PA1 and it's more modern. Command skill causes your
flock to create a tunnel of deathly damage between a set of illusory mirrors, obliterating
anything in between.
I'm in here yo.
Horrors Flight is a pair of globes.
Okay, you're not just crushing fear, there's 400 evasion rating, a tax bdx, get some cash
damage out of tax, one fair and kind of when you kill, so this is going to be a flat amount
of damage, right, per fair and kind of.
And still with the purest of fear equipping these causes your enemies to become terrified if you can't just one shot bosses
Right, it's gonna be like each fear and kind of it's like a flat amount of damage
These clubs worry fish care and I greats tempers increase clunk strike thrush old last 10 seconds
Cold threshold ah, that's right calter shoulders reduced us. It's just normal enemies that he's coming
because wait the calling threshold is different phenomenal different for
regec different for rea different for you nicks you could just get a double the
cal threshold with some cal threshold investment and then you could just 100%
cal all trash mobs cause you to gain stacks of fear and which is crazy that
because you got like these abilities that when you call it like does a a damage
and shit so you have like a bail that hit the class maps by just calling enemies
at a hundred percent kill threshold right?
Cull enemies.
Yeah.
This is going to make some insane mapping bills, right?
I can just see a guy teleporting around,
blowing everything up, like just going pack by pack,
blowing it up with this cull shit.
Even your culling, these gloves also come with the skill
crushing fear.
This is similar to the monk skill, killing palm,
except it deals chaos damage and the amount of damage
and area of effect scales drastically based on the power of the enemy.
As you use this gain your stacks of fear and karnic
Meaning enemies become this is like an epiphany belmunk and easier to come
My crazy point of being able to instantly got like epiphany Belmunk would like teleport you to the guy and then blow up the screen
And this is like this guy teleports you to the guy and then blows up the screen. Also monsters from full life
I mean that's it literally reminds me of a Diablo 3 epiphany Belmunk
Yeah, I log in though that was fun gameplay performing shit maps and things you want me
to do that in GG map well what's gonna happen with a hundred percent delirious
map I guess the cult doesn't care if it's a hundred percent delirious right
because it's not like they get increased cult threshold it was just kill them
Still... Hmm... Interesting.
Grass 20, Discipline 20, Asmereon, Wolf, Fidebs, and Grease Spirit, allies in your presence, have 60 of Regene, 9 old attributes, companions still 72% increased damage to your Mach targets.
You can have any number of companions of different types. Wow! What?
This effigy is a scepter for those wanting to run companions, and allows you to have
any number of companions of different types, instead of the normal restriction of just
one per type.
But what makes this cool is the Azmerian Wolf companion it comes with.
This is a persistent minion that bites foes to maim them, leaps to cause bleeding, and
even howls to buff nearby allies.
Additionally-
I tried this build in D4 and it sucked ass, and then they said they buffed a bunch of
I tried again it sucked ass. I don't know about this Gigi, it better not suck ass.
It comes with the command skill, a turnover, which when used it will how,
calling on the spirits to manifest spectral wolves to ambush all foes around you.
Liminal coil is a crazy wand. It allows you to apply as many curses as you please,
but those curses will have no effect. What's the point then? Two reasons.
Firstly, your spells gain a bunch of extra physical and chaos damage for this one that
might crazy this one looks fucking broken right then that just gonna be an insane amount
of damage like this seems crazy but that's a lot of gain each curse on enemies secondly
is the skill it grants called coiling bolts this skill is a projectile spell that fires
as coiling physical and chaos projectiles with every car.
It's weird and like in PLE1, there's not many uniques
that like are crazy strong in terms of weak weapons
that you just like slap on.
Usually it's almost way better than a real weapon.
But like in PLE2, there's like they're doing tons
of crazy weapons that look insanely strong in game.
What makes the skill truly special though,
is that it will split and change
through every cursed enemy.
I mean, I'm okay with it.
Absolute ruckus.
See for yourself.
This looks nuts.
Periphery as it looks.
That looks fucking nuts.
They're all over 90.
I wonder if these are, do you think all these weapons
are just all broken weapons that drop from pinnacle bosses?
Do you think these are all pinnacle boss drops
that they're showing us?
That must be surely, because they're all insane.
Brides of level 20 has marine swarms,
punch of alley, tag speed, element damage
contributes to flammability, ignite, chill magnitudes, freeze bulb up and
interruptions. Yeah it's so strong.
Unique bow which utilizes all the powers of the Esmerian spirits by
dealing damage of all elements and all elements can cause all ailments.
The coldest thing about this bow however is the Esmerian Swarm skill.
These are minions that are summoned when you kill enemies.
They will pursue all nearby enemies, damaging them and inflicting a debuff on
that boosts your elemental damage even further.
It looks broken as hell, bro.
It's down, and the swarms of the Esmeralda and the Esmeralda have spiked you, melting enemy.
Just like, literally get literally any of GG in the game,
Unix make a build around it. He's one screen at a time
The ordained as a new okay that one definitely dropping from the fucking guy that's like the angel weapon that he's literally holding in the clip
Look in there and the artwork right?
spethero righteous descent
Okay, we got 181 at 272 with one to 200 damage with 11.9 very high base great
1v4 APS, it's a high APS as well. We got a pretty decent f**king weapon here.
melee strike range increase. Interesting.
Leech recover based on your lighting damage as well as fire damage. Wow.
I mean I like this weapon a lot.
Brand spear.
Ordained. I hope that's not spelled right. Ordained.
Hmm. Spear potent. Angel build. Paladin build at home. Spear. Mastering in physical and lightning
damage with high critical strike chance too. This spear allows you to leech life not only
from physical damage but lightning too. I'm going to get a spear easy here. Also creates
a fragment of divinity nearby periodically. What are those? Well, this spear has the skill
Righteous Deceit, which is an epic, divine leap, aided by angelic wings-
I'm gonna get gnailed to shit with that or like blade-
If you use the skill when a fragment of divinity is nearby, it will become empowered, dealing
significantly more damage, gaining massive area of effect, and bypassing its cooldown.
So the more ZDBCR, the better it is, which is good.
fighting a boss let a bunch of the fragments spawn and then just unleash
your divine heaven obliterating them that looks good for ailments right that
was like a big ailment last but not least we have a new unique jewel voices
voices are simple that's so broken just okay instead of one you can tell you just
double your jokes on it so that's I mean that's like mandatory best right so
Normally, normally in PUE, there's a choice, right?
Like, depending based on your build.
But this is like, there's not even a choice.
This is like straight up, oh wait, maybe you are still competing against those like, what
do you call those fucking jewels that have like a bonus based on like what's near it?
I mean yeah, it looks nuts.
It consumes one jewel slot to add more.
There are versions that add two Joel Slots, three Joel Slots, and for those who are absurdly
lucky or rich, one with four Joel Slots.
What the hell is that?
Dude, Elon's character is going to have like a voice as in every slot by the way, with
fucking, he's going to have, his, his, his Joel fucking limit is just going to go all
the way around his character portrait.
Slots.
Oh, you're going to have one.
Okay, never mind.
Take it back.
Equip it and notice the Slots.
Elon and fucking Jonathan are probably boys and it like Elon's gonna have a hacked character with five of them
Here next to your character's portrait in the center. Oh, I'd love to hear Elon. Elon
One of the things we are concerned about is how long it takes for experienced players to replay through the game in each new league
As we learned from Path of Exile 1
One of the things that can really help is having elements in the campaign that tell you where to go if you know what to look for
We'll cover just one example per act for acts 1 to 3, but there are many more than just these.
For example, Hunting Grounds on Act 1 is a large sparse area, containing multiple entrances and
landmarks. Here's an example of some of the changes we've made here. Finding the ritual encounter
in this area isn't too difficult. Now after completing it, a trail of locusts will lead
to the entrance to Freethorn. Just follow it and find the source of the evil.
You might also find corpses of dead animals killed and pecked at by the crowbell.
You'll notice a trail of blood leading away from them. Follow the trail and it will lead directly
to the boss. We even put a signpost on the road to tell you which way to go to find Ogham Village.
In Act 2, in the Mastered on Badlands, you need to find the Lightless Caverns and track down the Abyssal.
Now to make this quicker, in the level you'll find these cracks. Just follow them, and it will take you right to the...
I legit fucking miss this one every time. I don't think it's a single character I've ever got it on the first try.
...little ear, allowing you to find and unlock the Well of Souls.
In Act 3, the jungle areas have camps of explorers to sell you items, however, they are now even
more useful.
By talking to the explorers, they will point towards the next area.
Not only that, but it will also reveal it on the minimap, so you can know exactly where
to go.
You gotta totally know to do that, bro.
These are just some examples.
We plan to do more and more of these over time.
These are just some examples.
We plan to do more and more of these over time in order to streamline the experience.
Did it TP? Did it TP him after he did the final activation?
Oh wow.
Now, as this is an in-game expansion, it makes sense that we would work on Atlas QOL.
We've added a search box that updates libraries to-
So good, bro.
Have a specific map you want to run?
Now, that will be much easier to find.
If there are multiple maps, Hitting Enter will move you from map to map.
Now, making a character build in Path of Exile 2 can be pretty complex.
And instead of designing a build yourself, many players enjoy following online build guides.
We have a pretty awesome community that has built many tools over the years for designing
builds.
But we wanted to improve the experience of following them.
The Ninja Shape.
Dude, you didn't shape the path of building, girl.
You didn't shape the path of building.
We are introducing a new Build Guide system directly into the game client.
Here's how it works.
This is crazy, by the way.
This is nuts.
The fact that they're actually doing this is fucking nuts.
Uh, so, do you know what?
I'll allow it.
People are gonna copy-build anyway, so why not just fucking let them copy-builds more easily?
This will be good for pre-for a league starts coming up with a plan and making an idea and then just having it like locked in
Like that's what I so that's what I'm gonna personally use is what I will make a build what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
Whatever that release patch notes and pub updates
I'll make my own bill file and I'll just have my own bill like locked in and I'll have like little reminders like y'all
Don't forget to do this
But I'm not gonna do like five stages or anything and just be my end game built to get go
But the thing is my bills change like 50 times
By the time they even get the map so it might be kind of useless
still it's
Community creators who write build guides can now create a new file format a build file
Once downloaded the builds appear in the in-game client and selecting one will show you everything you need to know to make that build
So you can see where the pastives you need to allocate, the sanity points you need to
take, scale gems you need to...
This is going to reten max, this is reten maxing right there for like people are going
to have no idea how the character works, like people are going to have no idea, they're
going to have to read the node.
They're going to download a build file and just going to stop playing the game and just
start clicking stuff.
Like oh tap the game, they're not even going to read what it does and they're going to
not understand, they're going to have a clue bro.
Holy fuck, what?
I mean did the gem thing is crazy the thing that worked like what and
recommendations for all the support teams you need to use as well
I mean that that just seems useful as hell just like for whatever you build this you could just blacklist a bunch of gems
You don't want to see
That's that seems so convenient
For items the build designer can specify what you next to use in each slot or if needed
Just add some notes to the item and instead of designing a build yourself, many players
enjoy following online build guides.
We have a pretty awesome community that has built many tools over the years for designing
builds, but we wanted to improve the experience of following them.
So, we are introducing a new build guide system directly into the game client.
WHAT?!
Here's how it works.
Dude!
Community creators who write build guides can now create a new file for a build file.
Once downloaded, the builds appear in the endgame client.
Holy shit!
And selecting one will show you everything you need to know to make that build.
So you can see all the passives you need to allocate.
Oh!
What?
Do you think this is one of these things where people think they want this, but they actually
don't?
Like, I'm not even kidding.
Like people, I swear to God, people would have more fun playing Path of Exile and Path
or two if they didn't follow Bill Gates, but they just do it because it's there
Things you can't it's the Pandora's Box has already been opened. That's the issue, right? Pandora's Box has already been opened
Bill people the end we're on the internet people are gonna make get Bill Gates
You can't stop them people gonna know all Bill Gates exists
I'm gonna fall bill guys can be better like a dude, but people don't realize they have so much more fun
if they made their own bills and
now this is gonna like
Streamline the process and make it even easier to follow builds so you're even more likely to do it
Which makes you have a less fun overall plan the video game
Bro, it's the let me take you out
Pathbix out is objectively more fun if you make your own builds
So much more fun so much more fun. It's so much more fun. It's like this legitimately
I want to say half of
Of not even that I would have the majority of the fun of the game is literally having an idea
Coming up with a plan and then execute it
That is like for me anyway like that for me
Like I see a unique I see an honor my CSNC and I'm like bro
What if I did this with that and then you fucking full send it and you just see what the fuck happens
And that's and this like the people don't get to enjoy that or experience that because they just
gets fucking funneled into this follow up guide let me follow up out and now
that they've got this tool they're even more likely to do it but they're bringing
to do it anyway so I guess it doesn't matter but I don't know it's a little bit
like it's a bit sad because I feel like you think like people like think they
want to follow Bill Guides like they want to also skip the campaign just like
they think they want flying mounds and boulevard craft but they actually like
you don't want flying mounds and boulevard you don't want to skip the
And you don't want to fucking use a build guide, but you do because it's just better, right?
Like yeah, it's way too. If you thought that some guy spends like
150 hours optimizing the shit of a build solving absolutely everything
Min matching it at the wazoo and you follow that guy you're gonna do better than if you just made your own thing
But it's gonna be less fun, bro
It's gonna be less fun
It's gonna be less fun
It is it is what it is
I'm just like, you know, you think you want to fly him out because you think like the flying man's gonna make the game better
Like well look I can go faster my flying now and everything's quicker and I just get to things faster and it's just better
No, it's not because then like kills will PVP it makes it so there's not these natural fucking funnels and all these
Organic interactions happening and she makes the game. What it's just like that's one of the things
Well, I don't know I feel like people think they want build guides and they think they want to pull a build guides, but they actually don't
They actually don't.
But I mean it's good that people are excited about it I guess.
And I think people who are gonna, like Coke Islanders is gonna fall a build guy regardless.
So again, it doesn't really change anything, it actually just makes this life a little bit
easier.
So it's like, yeah, it just, I feel sad for all the guys who weren't gonna fall a build
guy because like, ah, fuck it, it's too much effort, like you have to old tabs and all
that stuff.
And then like, well there's a build file now, so I can just put a build guy on, fuck it
I guess.
So those guys are gonna have a worse experience than if they just played the game organically
and just clicked their own build and made their own character.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh my god!
The same points you need to take.
Scale gems you need to equip.
And recommendations for all the support gems you need to use as well.
For items, the build designer can specify which you need to use the most.
I do.
Thanks, you want them guys.
I cannot believe this.
think you want build guys but you don't chat like actually I'm done like no cap.
Slot to say what kind of item you need. In fact, build creators can add notes to just about any of
these areas allowing them to explain different trade-offs and context or just give more info
about how these things should be used. They can also give level ranges to each element allowing
recommendations to change over time. Great for builds that need to respec after they reach a certain
level. Now all of this is written in a standardized build format that creators
can use and we imagine that a lot of community build tools will be updated
to add support for this format. Now that we have trademarked search and
built into the end game client we have added the ability to price check items
you can find here to work. Control alt clicking an item will now search for it
on the trade market showing you the current prices like trade cocks needed
more quality of life. Do you know what? We already had this capability in with third party things so
it's good that we actually have that capability without third party thing. Hopefully eventually
we won't even need Awakened Trade at all you know. So it's nice. For rare items it's handy to exclude
some mods. So we added the ability to enable and disable each mod so you can see what effect each
one has on the price. This is good. Next up we're going to be talking about the new supporter packs.
I don't think it fucks up this at all.
For s-
Yeah, whatever, support it back.
Oh, there's like a freak one.
Oh, look, that's Quen guys, cause he's short.
Oh, yeah, oh!
Enemy head.
Shit.
It's a 40.
Okay, Jason.
Yeah.
That's not all, however.
The Fragment Stash tab is finally coming to end.
Much more.
The Fragment Stash tab.
Like a set of finisher effects and affinity stashes.
That's not all, however.
The fragment stash tab is finally coming to Path of Exile 2 and whether it comes from...
So wait, it's got breach fragments? This is like the boss entry thing? I'm not quite sure.
I don't really need these keys to be honest with you.
That's the King of the Mists thing. That's the new endgame.
That's the trial of the Nameless.
I mean, you don't quite know what these ones are. It's all the new endgame, right? It's all the new quest endgame.
Tab section inside this one tab. There's a tab for your various boss key fragments
There's also a tab for all your precursor tablets with each type of tablet getting six tabs of storage
Finally, there's a tab for your gin barriers and inscribed
Automated thank fuck both of which bank fuck get their own six tabs
That's a lot of tabs. Holy shit. So that's everything in 050
This is by far the biggest update we've ever made, the Peewee 1 or 2.
UN Game Storylines, Pernacle Bosses, Crafting Systems, Items, Ascendancy Classes and so
much more.
Now because this update contains so much in-game content, we're doing significantly more testing
than usual.
For that to happen, we're taking a little longer than usual between the announcement
and the release.
We announced it. We're at uh, perfectsaltoo.com
The slash
Home dude slash home of those years. I'm a little bit 20 days chat 20 days
What's that in weeks chat 20 to buy by 7 it's 2.8 weeks jet 2.8 weeks
Fuck bro, wait 2.8 weeks
Thanks.
Potomny wants to like lock in and D-Rust for Peewee2 and be like, big deck for the league
launch.
But then Potomny's like, well that's 20 days, that's a long time, that's a lot of preparation,
that's probably too much.
So then I'm thinking maybe I should do it, I should probably like what, how much prep,
I need to figure out how much prep.
Question.
How.
How much prep do I want to do for POE2 League?
Note, this is a demo note, this is a note.
This will be the last big league.
will be simply econ reset until game goes to 1.0 after it's all gone. I feel like because
this is like the last league I want to I don't want a bad league I I don't want a
bad league launch and should do prip questions how much prip I'm not doing
I'm gonna stop with the one for point five jet. Relax.
I'm literally not doing something for point five. There's no way.
There's no way. I literally cannot.
What are the bad lead on to me? A bad lead on just like I launch and I keep done zero preparation at all and I've got zero D rust and I just go in and I start ripping like crazy.
And then it takes me like the first fucking five days to reclimatize to the day game.
Good league launchers like I had like preparation time
And I at least spent at semi men in seven days
minimum
Seven days prep
100% 1000% minimum two days prep
Will be released in three weeks on May the 29th with the you don't de-russ
I'm what this is for maybe you guys could just log into a game, bro
When I first look into a game that I haven't loaded in a while, like when I go onto this and I move my character around, it feels weird.
Everything feels weird and the controls feel weird, like moving the character around feels weird.
Like I'm not wasting normally, I'm only playing click to move.
Just everything feels weird.
And I just get super spaced out and I just forget everything and like all the pathways in my brain are kind of like shut down and you just need to reactivate.
And then it flows back to me quite quickly, but I want to say it takes I
Mean the older I get the longer takes but like I want to say it takes me like at least a
Few days of playing the game to for it to feel normal
And who cares I don't want to feel spaced out confused
disorientated on the league launch bro and
Yes disorientated is a real word that's for people in the UK say it like that which is crazy
No, it's not disoriented. Disorientated is a real word, you dumb fucks. Look it up. It's
UK language in it, bruv.
Actually, it's being released on the Friday before that, on May 21st.
It's genuinely real. I'm actually right, so you can Google it and realize that I'm right,
but it's cool. Because I, do you know what's funny? I called Abby out, I was like, Abby,
disorientated is not a real word. She's like, what are you talking about, bro? It's a real
it and then I'm like no it's not abby that sounds retarded don't never say
disorientated again bang she Google it it's a real word that's how they say it
in UK there's just one more thing to talk about now that the end game is up
to scratch we have to start talking about our plan for 1.0 release the
feedback we've had during early access has been critical for making all the
improvements that will be making to the game at the same time we had to create
enough in-game content to make an RPG that can call itself a successor to
path of xl1 true well with 050 we now believe we have reached that point your
peo e1's dead bro he just said peo e1 point 5 is killing peo e1 you just heard
him say that bro it's it's a successor peo e1's fucking dead after this bro
type shit and so this is gonna be the last full-size league during early access
that's right the next big update is going to be 1.0 now normally we would do a
the next big content release in August.
But I might, I might, I might like that.
Cause I said that when I released this game in 2025,
didn't I?
Just like I said, the culture was going to be done
in like 2024.
And then, but now,
oh, it's supposed to be, oh, my bad.
This game was supposed to be out in 2024.
It's 2026 now.
So he's saying it's going to be out.
He's saying the game, yo, we launched in this game.
We launching this game
Six months to two years. I mean, I know
Wonder what the bet and I wonder the poly market would say about this
What what do you guys think? I would I would say yeah, they but I mean did they've planned XL con they
Bro, he obviously knows how far he is in terms of the
fucking
What do you call it campaign development it must be coming out this year, right it has to be
Dude, I had to have the Cuxar 2.0 built before then.
Oh my god, the Cuxar 2.0 needs to be built before then.
But I need to fucking rage at my people and build that now!
It will! It will! It will!
It's gonna be December, right? What day is it?
What day is it? X-Alcon? What month is it?
I know it's in 181 days, but what month is it?
November. What does it go November? How many months after November? It's until December
yet. How does it go? I don't know the months. Only one? Dead ass, bro. No way. You're gonna
be kidding me. So wait. The builder can say he may be able to get it done before 181 days.
Maybe.
Oh my God.
So wait, I wish it was like two months,
because then it would be like, oh yeah,
the country trip would be done before then, for sure.
Oh.
All right, whatever.
As we'll see.
But in the run up to full release,
our plans take a little longer on this one.
As big as 050 is, 1.0 is even bigger.
So we'll be launching 1.0 this year.
0.3CM, bro.
Sometime after XLCon.
But that doesn't mean we won't be doing updates in the meantime.
In this final phase, we have a lot of things to pass throughout the game.
What'd he say?
They're going to launch it sometime after ExcelCon.
Balance to improve.
I'm sure there'll also be feedback about the new end game that we need.
I need to hear what he said exactly.
I need to go back and look at it.
I'll plan to take a look at a normal.
Sorry, game.
Making to the game.
At the same time, we had to create enough end game content
to make an ARPG that can call itself a successor to Path of Excel 1.
Well, with 050, we now believe we've reached that point.
And so this is going to be the last full-size lead.
the word specifically access last for the last full league
okay so there is no other league the thing is they will never
they will never release it in January ever
they will never release it in January so I don't know if you know it's when
that like that's when people spend the lease money so December is when people
people have this freak it's like a fucking crazy fucking thing during
December because it's Christmas and it's the month of giving and also all those bullshit people time off
It's when they spend the most money on products by a large margin hugely, but it's massive. It's massive
It's like it's fucking crazy, bro
It's a free game. It doesn't matter about being free game, bro
The people are gonna buy the fuck out of stuff because it's God damn Christmas and they got time off
There's no way in hell. They won't
What I'm saying is it will definitely not be in the first month. Oh
Up next year. So there's no way it's gonna be 2027 January. So that means it's either gonna be December
1.0 launch or it'll be like
2027 a few months after January right like whatever the fuck whatever the fuck because what the way it goes is this
It goes on this it goes on this
Bro, they like don't know if you know this
Because obviously I'm doing a streamer. I know this hugely because actually it's funny because this it goes like right up
So this is this is like December, right? This is December
This is Christmas day and it peaks about here and then
Goes down again, and it went and one of that goes down bro. It's like this one. It's like
That negative you're getting negative money
You're getting negative money, and then it slowly recovers and comes back right so again until it's a hamburger game
So if you release a product
You want to release it here because this is when people buy the fuck out of it
And this is when marketing goes crazy and these like bro add money. Let me tell you one ad plays dude
It's like four X
No, not even that it's like five. It's like five X. It's like it's like five X. No, maybe ten X. It's so much
So much more than one just after because no one's buying anything. So no one still no advertisers are purchasing it
So what I'm saying is
Ain't no so this is the most likely around early December
This is where you'd want to do it
But if it doesn't come out then well then they absolutely will not release it at start of the 2027
So then you're talking like a few months after I don't know
I don't know that someone who knows a bit more about markets and shit. I don't really pay too much attention
What's that like the third month?
The third month. I don't know what's the third month chat. I don't know what the third month is
But that's that's what you're looking at
What's January something March August or something I
Don't know the months. Yeah, I don't know them. I do know that December is when
people buy the fuck out of stuff and I do know that's when like good you play
one act legit one ad during December bro oh my god today gonna they pay in you
they paint you could run infinite ads in January you getting zero dollars zero
next big update is going to be 1.0 now normally we would do a next big content
release in August, but in the run up to full release, our plans take a little longer on
this one. As big as 050 is, 1.0 is even bigger. So we'll be launching 1.0 this year sometime
after EXO.
Oh, this he does specifically say. He does 100% say this year sometime after EXO gone.
That literally leaves like the tiniest little range, right? Wait, wait, wait, EXO gone,
Excelcon, Excelcon, Excelcon date, Excelcon 2026 date.
November 7th.
Okay, I'm busting up in a graph here, Jack.
Uh, peak melee, what is this?
Calendar, okay, November 7th, Cal and 2026.
Okay.
November 7th
for that little
Bro hundred thousand fucking percent
If it has to come out this year
We're talking between
So what the it'll be?
The Friday
Which for Americans
You know it'd be the Friday for New Zealand which will be Saturday America
So for you guys, it'll be for us, it'll be the 12th. It'll release on the 12th.
That's like assuming what he's saying isn't full of shit, which it could just be like they totally could do full of shit.
And, you know, but I said, I don't say full of shit.
He could believe that he's releasing the game on the 12th, but like realistically,
they've believed they were going to release the game in 2024 and 2026 right now.
six right now so you know there's a good chance they're gonna get to never
seventh right they're like and it's like there's no way in hell we're releasing
the game in a month from now and you'd have to say you know what guys if we
want to release the game properly we're gonna have to release it like a few
months after it's always on Friday's what I'm saying it's what it's all on
Fridays yeah the Friday in America is fucking Saturday in New Zealand bitch
So for you guys, it'll be
Whatever the fuck that what I'm saying, it'll be a 12 for me for you guys. It'll be the 11th
Chat right now it is the 9th month chat the night they said to be clear
So do you understand that for you guys? So it's Saturday for me
So a lot of you guys are announced it's Sunday. It's fucking Friday
Do you understand so for me? It'll be a Saturday. So it'll be the 12th. So I'm going off my time not fucking retard time
This is the New Zealand game, bitch. This is the New Zealand game. You woke up our time
You were gonna bar time here. This is the NZ game
But that doesn't mean we won't be doing updates in the meantime in this final phase
We have a lot of things to pause throughout the game and balance to improve
I'm sure there'll also be feedback about the new end game that we need to incorporate to
The difference is that the focus is not going to be on adding more content like the previous updates
It's going to be on improving one.
I understand they launched the game 14A, which is why it's a fucking Saturday in New Zealand
when it comes out on a Friday in America, I understand that.
But I'm just saying the timescale that I'm working on is the fucking New Zealand timescale, you bitch ass.
That's what I'm saying. Jesus Christ.
We already have.
But we still want to encourage people to try out all the balance changes and improvements that we're making.
So we're going to be running a few event leagues during this phase alongside each update.
Think remixes of existing mechanics or features.
And speaking of XL Con, don't forget to pencil it in on the weekend of November the 7th in New Zealand.
XL Con is a-
That's right, New Zealand.
In New Zealand, bitch.
You're a snoogey in, dude.
It's Raze QT, bro.
It's Kriparian and it's Preach.
That's Rana.
Is that Nevis Sync?
Yeah, that's right.
Now, transfer is to showcase-
Lab.

He ma-
Lab.

Everything will be working on-
Here we lab guy.
Path of Exile 1 and 2 and this one will be particularly important for us since we finally get
I don't know any of these people are no idea
To unveil some of the coolest content we've been working on for a math of one rescue T to Ziggy D
New kid while now that five and slip region slip region TV that funk six
Tickets for the in-person event are currently sold out, but don't worry, all the announcements
and talks are going to be streamed online for all of you to watch.
There it is, there it is, it just ends.
Crazy stuff.
Okay guys, so there we are, there we are, 20 dash from now the league starts, 20 dash
from now the league starts.
We did some fucking mathematics, we looked at, we deep dived, we did some graphs.
There's actually more stuff to deep dive by the way that I haven't looked at, there's
is actually like the pealea website I believe has like a fucking screen here
which has some stuff which I haven't actually looked at, um, I don't know, we've probably looked at this, right?
Maybe we'll check that, maybe a little bit more deep diving to do it, but guys, guys, it is the weekend.
Um, I'm gonna think about what I'm gonna do. I don't know if I want to start, like, I could, I could legitimately just start playing pealea 2 now, low key.
Just prepping and getting Giga locked in for the launch, right?
Because you're gonna say this is the last launch before 1.0.
I could, but maybe that's a little bit extreme.
Maybe I should do like 10 days before or something, you know?
I don't know. Burnout for League stat? Impossible. I will not burn out for League stat. There's no way.
Literally no possible. Kill Avatar while it's till the
boss. I could do that. That'd be killer if I'm going to kill Avatar.
Yeah, good.
Hmm
Bitter
You do that potentially no, no, that would be kind of fun
I've kept man. I'm gonna kill over that you guys a joke, bro
It's guys the easiest fuckable get revenge on Astri. Yeah, I could do that as well. You're gonna get right now
You can't play a long true
Trip I could just log in and do it though, and then it'll be a refresh
How long what do you think I need to do out? I could do a softball character
Like a week beforehand and just like play it
How much you boring as fuck though, but then if I know I'm if I know I'm being this character just to get my vibes on
I don't know. I'm gonna think about it regardless 20 days
biggest patch with ever seen
Lots of crazy shits dude life buffs low-key
I mean, we don't know what other balance and changes are coming, dude
You know right now I'm looking at a few like I mean the monk looks fucking cool
I mean both I could see myself playing both Eva the spirit woman or the fist monk
The fisting monk looks kind of fun, especially with those fucking fisting gloves. Who knows what could be gone up with the unique loves
So Eva
Eat now either either either either you either character
See ya
Gonna play time I brought a lot of time. I must admit. I do love me some time gameplay, bro
They see you here. There's no doubt tightness my favorite guy
Regards boys

Little mini deep dive tomorrow, but yeah, we'll see
