Path of Exile Drops A New Trailer For Path of Exile 2, As Well As Give Extensive Look At Gameplay | MMORPG.com
In a new stream today, Grinding Gear Games gave a showcase of the work it's made on the upcoming sequel to its award-winning ARPG, Path of Exile 2. First shown off at Exilecon in 2019, this new trailer and gameplay reveal gives player more of an idea of what to expect when the sequel drops next year.

Sure, but why are all the tents and carpets in the tents not burning?
Looks much smoother from what I recall though.
mmorpg junkie since 1999
Yeah, if this was 15 years ago, I would say so, but sadly you don't have Blizzard anymore, nor Blizzard North which created Diablo back then. Also David Brevik (one of the creators of Diablo) has been seen quite often visiting GGG company for creative advises and such. They also were honored guests at the last Exilecon and according to Brevik and Schaefer's brothers (if you aren't aware, Brevik and the brothers are the holy trinity of Diablo), so according to them PoE is currently THE best RPG on the game market.
Also Chris Wilson was very passionate Diablo II fan (from whence they took inspiration for PoE), and they never hid that. In fact, Chris admitted numerous times he still admires Diablo II, even to this date how perfect this game is, and his PoE is very close to hit this bar, if it hasn't already.
~Greatness~
Currently Playing:
Nothing
I imagine many will play both....
Can't wait. Will be playing for sure.
POE1 and POE 2 share endgame, but is different story arcs to get to that endgame.
As a free to play game where fans have spend a lot of money on cosmetic and QoL stash items , (and the company's whole revenue comes from that) , its close to economical suicide to invalidate that investment by making a new stand alone game where players should start over again on investing in qol and cosmetics. Better to allow them to keep everything spend for money and be happy to spend even more.
Because sometimes, (this is crazy I know) people actually like things you don't!
Indeed!
I give these games a spin but never play long as I get tired of the movement scheme that can't be switched to something else. Dunno but Point and Click is outdated and It just annoys me far too much.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
Does some of the art look real good,yes but art alone doesn't make a game or define a genre.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
It would also take tons of time to implement and take away from the rest of the game. It is also something very few people, if anyone, actually wants that currently plays the game. (A game that has had point to click movement for nearly a decade at this point) What you are asking for is a different game. There are plenty of other ARPG type games without point to click movement. You should check out something like Remnant or Borderlands.
+1 on this
In addition, people created a mod (I think) that mimics the controller setup onto your keyboard effectively letting you play with wasd. However, I read that it's a bannable offence, so I'm not going to try it for sure.
To each their own. If there's one thing (there's more tbh) the new magic legends arpg did great is offer multiple options on how to play the game.
[Edit]
Apparently PoE2 will probably have controller support with UI. So that's good news at least.
Maybe you watched this on 460p? These graphics put POE and D4 to shame bro. I'm thoroughly impressed.
After reading many of your comments which most of I agree with, I'm getting the vibe that you rarely truly play a game to its entirety. Have you ever solod the endgame in POE? Even reached the 80s with your own unique build? Tried out hardcore at all? Get anywhere?
I have the feeling the answers to most of those are a hard no. You talk about POEs as if it hasn't damn near created its own genre of Diablo like ARPS and not to mention, did it incredibly well as am indi company. I would be surprised if you've ever played it enough to truly understand the game. It was probably too difficult and you made a judgment and quit is what I'm guessing.
