Of course the most obvious question is when? Tinfoil hat on. They waited for diablo 4 to drop first so they could adjust POE2 to make it address all the shortcomings of blizzard.

That just seems like good business sense to me, no tinfoil necessary. I'm personally astonished that the D4 launch came and went without my really registering it -- I imagine everybody, including...

The D4 launch has been pretty huge. I think it's more a matter of you being tuned out on that one. D4 is leagues better than D3 was at launch, they did step in it with the recent patch but they're...
The D4 launch has been pretty huge. I think it's more a matter of you being tuned out on that one.
D4 is leagues better than D3 was at launch, they did step in it with the recent patch but they're retuning much of it apparently and listening to player feedback.
For what it's worth I've never been able to really dig PoE. I was disappointed with D3 when it launched and turned to PoE afterwards hoping for something better... problem is the game feel/moment to moment gameplay of Diablo is immaculate and PoE's was... garbage, it was garbage. It has improved since them but it still doesn't feel great to me.
Oh, I didn't mean that it launched with a whimper, just that there don't seem to have been any monumental, day-one missteps like the RMAH or the controversy over always-online (we knew D4 would be...
Oh, I didn't mean that it launched with a whimper, just that there don't seem to have been any monumental, day-one missteps like the RMAH or the controversy over always-online (we knew D4 would be always-online, so no scandal there).
I just meant that Blizz doesn't seem to have belly-flopped the release. But it wouldn't have been a surprise if they had.
Oh yeah. I agree there. At this point I feel like their launches can go either way. That said I played Diablo Immortal at launch and D4's beta tests and had no issues at all.. and it seems D4's...

If I wasn't still playing Tears of the Kingdom I would have bought it by now.
At the end of the video they talk about the beta being next year (I didnt pay too much attention to the date beyond that), so I would assume it's still at least a year away, perhaps 1.5

I have to watch the gameplay yet but I'm honestly kinda shocked that the closed beta is starting approx. in a year. I was absolutely sure we'd get the beta at the end of this year and maybe the full game in summer next year at the latest. But of course heaps better than just releasing an unfinished mess.
Ha, they cut the part where the dude died to the first boss. It was sort of endearing really, and you could tell they were nervous about it happening again afterwards. Good show though, it looks...

Good show though, it looks like they've taken a lot of their learnings and applied it to PoE2. I'm looking forward to it even if closed beta is a year from now.
Ah man, that’s one of the things I loved about all of Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3 presentations — without fail, something went wrong every single time, but they just rolled with it and the energy was...

I think on their first gameplay reveal they almost instantly died to some intellect devourers. I consider it a good thing these things happen. It shows that the stakes are real and not just a vessel to show something cool.

Honestly, having watched almost all of the coverage so far (missed a few hours last night) I really am feeling that GGG is really justified in making the game separate. They're simply changing so many approaches that poe1 has had for it's entire history that they have to make poe2 separate. No crafting bench, support gems don't add much damage, power/frenzy/endurance charges are spenders not buffs, flasks are purely reactive rather than a buff.
It's pretty much to the point where I'm not even excited for poe2 as "the next big thing for poe". It's simply it's own game that just happens to borrow a lot of ideas and names from poe1.
i’m so incredibly excited for this! i’m disappointed that the release date is so far in the future, though. i watched about half of the gameplay video and it looks awesome and a lot of the changes...

i watched about half of the gameplay video and it looks awesome and a lot of the changes mentioned seemed great. i’ve felt like PoE is what i want Diablo to be. i have diablo 4 and it’s fine but im much more excited about PoE 2.

Mid-June-ish next year for a closed beta, so I'd say end of next year?
29:29 into the video, closed beta starts June 7, 2024.
That said, it's a year away, so that could still change.
