I don't know of any other company that would stop and think, "This one streamer out of 20 we invited had a rough segment at our convention, let's give him an hour with the CEO and a lead developer, on their day off". And it's not like they used it to try and do damage control on PoE mobile, they just felt bad for you, having travelled all that way, and wanted to make it right. Huge respect to them, and thank you for your questions, and for sharing it with us.

It's amazing to see how wonderful Chris and Mark are, just as humans. I remember messaging Chris on discord and he actually responded and added me to his friend's list. Respectfully, I didn't bug him, I just thanked him for making a great game and moved on. I like to think, maybe it made his day, but the fact that someone who is so high-up in one of my favorite gaming companies actually responded to a random person on discord speaks volumes about his love and dedication to everyone and his game.

And at 50:00 they've just confirmed it'll not only be the same, but could have even more depth (i.e. complexity), lol. They're changing some things to make it easier to understand (like the skill system) but are not interested in making it any more accessible to new players, which is contradictory to what they've been talking for a while. Even the lead/director of PoE 2 said they want to get new players in, this won't happen with such approach. I am very bummed that they're sticking to their PoE approach instead of streamlining PoE 2 a bit so it can remain a complex game, but not a pain in the ass to play by yourself. I was hyped af for PoE 2 for this exact reason (them claiming it'll be easier to get into and systems being better), but in this interview they've basically said "nah PoE 2 stays sweaty cause we like it that way". I will still test it out and see how much has changed and if the changes are good enough for me to actually care getting into the game more, cause i am surely neither playing someone else's build, nor learning every single mechanic for a few hundred hours. If they've learned from PoE as they claimed here, they will make it way clearer and do a better job at explaining mechanics, cause in PoE it's a disaster :D

Keeping POE1 and POE2 is a huge opportunity to fix the duality of the core gameplay. Would be amazing if they pushed POE1 towards what some people want, crazy speed, funky interactions, huge packs to explode , powerful crafting, simpler gameplay but an even crazier dept of character build more like a Vampire Survivor like experience. And instead push POE2 towards the "Vision": slow, interactive combat, hardcorelike experience, scarcity of resources, more towards a Soulslike mixed with D2 and lost ark combat.

I'd have to guess that calamities like this one were the things that made them think twice about their sequel strategy and how to implement it. Ultimately, I think they did themselves a huge favor not letting their sequel be bogged down by a 10 year old game's technical limitations. Ultimately, I'm guessing they'll see great benefits to this decision longterm because I can see POE1 lasting another 10 years (maybe more) with the proper care and POE2 brings a whole new challenge that will be quite an interesting thing to experience, especially with all the modern bells and whistles without restriction.

It makes me feel in the minority though, as it feels like there's a really large number of poe players who want the opposite - game breaking, servers wrecking speed and they don't mind that what is visually happening is just a mess, as long as currency is dropping. Personally, I really look forward to the day poe 2 goes live.

I think a good way to help deal with the "what killed me" problem is: Loot Filter for monsters. Monster Filter. Like a loot filter, it wouldn't actually remove any thing, we like density. But you could set it up so that specifically powerful combos of monster affixes or ones that your build is specifically weak to would be called out. Perhaps a Red glow in the same vein as Blue and Yellow. Even an accompanying sound effect when they first attack you etc. I think this would go a long way to giving people a helpful tool to understand which monsters to look out for in particular.

Hey subtract, pass this idea on to the boys. Have a mobile version of Poe 2 that is actually corrected to your main PC acct instead of just a prequel. I've always imagined a simple mobile aspect of the game where players on the go, at work lol, or just simply away from the computer could still access their account in one form or another. For example, logging in and being able to access your stash to craft new items with the currency system. Then when you come back to it at home, everything is there. That or the arena type you have, but using your main.
