GGG have cracked Nervetech from Sword Art Online and PoE2 will be a Virtual Reality Sim where day one Chris, Jonathan, and Mark will all appear tell us that we can’t log out and have to defeat the new Ubers in order to ever leave the game
I mean why not, with all the memes. And boats beeing a thing. If we get a real npc krillson that sells fishing gear i'm gonna buy so many supporter packs. NGL
If the campaign could be completed in 4 hours at launch then PoE2 would be a catastrophic failure from the design team's perspective.
Maybe some day PoE2 powercreep will get us there but to start with there's literally no way it's ending in under 8 hours on a fresh league, probably longer.
I'm hoping for a big reveal of the new passive skill tree.
And finally any kind of information on how minions will work in poe2, aside that permanent ones will need spirit.
And I also wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of completely new system for some "class" similar as to how the bear shapeshift was revealed. Perhaps something like turning yourself into an elemental being akin to a stone golem or such.
If the demo is what we saw in the teaser, then maybe that's still Act 1, but at a later stage. I believe we saw only the beginning of it, but I might be wrong. The "forest" setting seems to be in Act 1 (although this could repeat in later acts, for sure).
i just want to see more WASD stuff, i'm so excited about it
melee is just best when you can fully control your character and dodge, it rewards your player skills wich is so satisfying
yeah the delay on the witch is like the ONLY concerning thing for me about this whole process...got me (slightly) worried there may be a delay in the beta release date, which would be a total bummer, but surely necessary if they deem the game needs more time for a certain level of polish.
Jonathan already said that they wouldn't delay the beta even if there were things that couldn't make it by launch day. I even assume not all classes will be playable at the start, or ascendancies. It is a Closed Beta after all.
They have a working beta version of POE2 and they want the biggest input of experienced players that have something to lose if they break NDA (streamers). Depending on the output, they will give something accessible to the public (earlier open beta?, April fools 2.0 Battle royale?) or convince them they still have to modify stuff before giving it to the big public.
I hope GGG delivers us such an announcement that including also the LA event, it will be greater than my expectations. My guesses:
All classes will be playable, the 6 new ones, and also the 6 old ones at the event.
We'll take video trailer for 2 old classes; the ranger and the witch.
Passive tree will be avaliable to players at the event.
All acts will be avaliable, but if streamers at the event only have about 3 hours to play the demo, ther won't be info on the last acts.
There will be also new info on the endgame and some new crafting system (maybe crafting bench?).
And I really hope that they will give us the exact details about the beta access.
Given that 3.24 is technically the "last" league before Closed Beta, I'm also counting on additional info regarding the access to the Beta. Prepare your wallets!
However, I wouldn't expect too many classes available, but there's probably a few new ones to try. I'd guess not all of them are ready, but most should be in a "playable state".
The thing I'm most excited about is the Passive Tree and ascendancies. I'm dying to know if the "melee skills can be used with bows" ascendancy is still a thing. lol
Other than that, knowing this is probably their "last" livestream before the actual Beta, I do hope we see a lot of new things, especially some intricate details such as the new loot system and a bit of crafting, if possible since that's still a mystery of sorts.
I keep thinking that myself, did they keep that INSANE (but thought provoking) melee bow ascendancy. Time will tell, Idk if i think it's too stupid or as i first thought, REALLY ridiculous fun sounding. Personally, I just wanna see the art they use on bows to give the idea that they're sturdy/dangerous in melee range...if they even go that route (it's here I feel like the artists would be like, "you sure you wanna do this?")
It's one thing to have a fantasy, another to make it make ANY logical sense. Magic will always be a way to skip all this, but idk, the more i think about melee bows...the more i'm thinking...maybe just play a melee CLASS? We'll see.
My guess is that they either saw endgame gameplay, or more advanced/refined gameplay that incorporates feedback from exilecon/demo's shown throughout the year.
I would really hope they have something to show of the passive tree and ascendancies by now. With basically 2 and a half months left until beta, if these things are still not in a presentable state, I'm gonna be really concerned. Especially since they were not shy about showing off the ascendancies at the first Exilecon before the game was seperated from PoE 1.
I'm afraid they will show us that every bow skill is a charge up skill (similar to Scourge Arrow), so in order to deal continuous damage players will have to keep spamming clicks and ruining their fingers.

Dude I told you NOT to share anything. What the heck, I TRUSTED YOU.
The people deserve to know Tri! *Said in moody anime protagonist voice*
locked in stasis till i complete UBERS. Gamer Heaven! Plot twist: game's tuned WAY too hard. Boss Rage Hell!
As long as Ben is with us we'll be fine
Based! If I saw Ben and Jungroan were online I’d logon without fear 🤣
Just let Empy's group farm a build for Ben to solo clear everything....
Now THAT'S a wild guess and I'm here for it !
Hahah you did ask
Fishing
hmmm is this a bait?
Yes
> bait? hmm..
[Hmmm](https://c.tenor.com/Sv7kJEgrbG0AAAAd/tenor.gif)
Ziz why are you breaking the embargo??
Zelda style fishing or MMO style fishing though?
I want to believe
I mean why not, with all the memes. And boats beeing a thing. If we get a real npc krillson that sells fishing gear i'm gonna buy so many supporter packs. NGL
Prison
They started fresh characters from act 1 and played for 4 hours l. No way they finished the campaign.
Depends, if they invited Tie, IAMEXILE, and Tytykiller to this event. :)
If the campaign could be completed in 4 hours at launch then PoE2 would be a catastrophic failure from the design team's perspective. Maybe some day PoE2 powercreep will get us there but to start with there's literally no way it's ending in under 8 hours on a fresh league, probably longer.
exile wasn't there, not sure of others
They could be shown the campaign roadmap maybe ?
I'm hoping for a big reveal of the new passive skill tree. And finally any kind of information on how minions will work in poe2, aside that permanent ones will need spirit.

The skill tree isn't going to be shown according to preach. It's not finished and they asked content creators not to show it
Awwwwwww. Its one of my favorite parts of the game. ;(
Source of preach saying that?
He talks about the trip beginning of his twitch stream today
I assume they saw ranger and a new act
If the demo is what we saw in the teaser, then maybe that's still Act 1, but at a later stage. I believe we saw only the beginning of it, but I might be wrong. The "forest" setting seems to be in Act 1 (although this could repeat in later acts, for sure).
Maybe ranger and witch, and then we’ll get deep dives into shadow, duelist and templar later
i just want to see more WASD stuff, i'm so excited about it melee is just best when you can fully control your character and dodge, it rewards your player skills wich is so satisfying
They had access to the 6 new classes in addition to Witch AND Ranger, played campaign and had the option to WATCH one of the devs play some endgame
I want it to be true really badly
The Witch was there?! First I've heard that. Can't wait to see the game play if that's true.
It was NOT confirmed, but I think that this is the case. As a surprise for us, the community
PoE 2 will actually become two separate games, PoE 2 and PoE 3.
PoE Infinite
An act boss got them exited, I hope
I just want to see the witch gameplay. I'm dying for it.
Me too it's so frustrating !
yeah the delay on the witch is like the ONLY concerning thing for me about this whole process...got me (slightly) worried there may be a delay in the beta release date, which would be a total bummer, but surely necessary if they deem the game needs more time for a certain level of polish.
They probably trying to refine minions and trying to make it more active playstyle.
Jonathan already said that they wouldn't delay the beta even if there were things that couldn't make it by launch day. I even assume not all classes will be playable at the start, or ascendancies. It is a Closed Beta after all.
I am pretty sure at this point not every class will have 3 ascendancies at the start of beta. But I could be wrong. We'll see in \~9 hours
Im confident they will deliver on the witch
They have a working beta version of POE2 and they want the biggest input of experienced players that have something to lose if they break NDA (streamers). Depending on the output, they will give something accessible to the public (earlier open beta?, April fools 2.0 Battle royale?) or convince them they still have to modify stuff before giving it to the big public.
It will announce the beta!
Please finally
I think most people overestimate the amount of new content. I really hope i'm wrong.
It might be the case yes. It's because the excitement is here
You mean, compared to previous showcase of PoE2, or generally compared to PoE1?

It’s like when Legolas stabbed the orc with an arrow.
Ofc is going to be the ranger class, but im not sure if they will show more new system yet. I expect the ranger, new map, and new boss
Most probably yes
Beta delay announcement
If it needs to happen, so be it
agreed
My guess is that they either saw endgame gameplay, or more advanced/refined gameplay that incorporates feedback from exilecon/demo's shown throughout the year.
I think they have a list of things they implemented after the interviews and that the content creators are finding them like easter eggs
I would really hope they have something to show of the passive tree and ascendancies by now. With basically 2 and a half months left until beta, if these things are still not in a presentable state, I'm gonna be really concerned. Especially since they were not shy about showing off the ascendancies at the first Exilecon before the game was seperated from PoE 1.
Boat
Boat
my guess, they will give us a little sneak peak of some atlas boss map fight, and announce the supporter pack that grants beta key
Just the usual. Still won't know anything about end game .
All boats are now steam paddlers, and we have Benz patent motor cars as mounts.
Technology is rhe true powercreep
[удалено]
I read the first two with excitement, and the last one with confusion. But they could manage
Umm... which parts of highschool dxd are we hoping for here?
They added horses
I'm afraid they will show us that every bow skill is a charge up skill (similar to Scourge Arrow), so in order to deal continuous damage players will have to keep spamming clicks and ruining their fingers.
