I'll give Rhykker Credit. POE2 is getting all the clicks but he is sticking to his guns. Dude does it for the love of the game, literally.

Season 7: Season of the uninstall because I need the disk space for... something else.

I am glad you are able to feel your frog, Rhykker. That's very important!

As a D4 enthusiast.. I am so excited for POE 2

[bigdeuce]

It's hard to get excited about Season 7 with Path of Exile 2 just around the corner. I've been playing Diablo 4 since Season 1 and have already explored every class and build multiple times. At this point, the only thing keeping me interested is the introduction of new seasonal mechanics. If Season 7’s Witch Powers don’t offer a significant amount of fresh, fun gameplay, I won’t stick around beyond the first week. I think a lot of long-time players feel the same way.

While I don't personally like D4, I love your content and I think its awesome that you are here to cover this stuff and give your opinion. You do not need me to tell you this but you are doing great! Keep it up man!

[lain]

It's just not enough. The game already feels like it's on the D3 2.0 phase. I cannot see how they keep me playing for longer than 2 weeks in the future.

- What's new for S7?
- Damage!
- But we were already 1 shoting everything.
- Even more damage!!!

Excited to play this season. Alternating between this and PoE2 - eating well this holiday season

Great video, honest opinions. I'm likely in the minority but my best time with D4 was the pre release version with a limited play duration window where every drop mattered. Story was fantastic, for me, and the pace of the game felt good. The slot machine analogy definitely hits home as I'm grinding aspects in S6 just because it was a goal pre-season to finish them out.

Sorc on PTR feels bad and maybe its time to branch out to something new like necro for S7.

Thank you, Rhykker. Great info as always.

I understand the frustration of the hardcore gamers with D4, but not everyone is a giga blaster than can spend over 400hrs per season. If PoE2 can satisfy them, sure, go for it and giga blast the endgame. Personally, i just want a D4 refresh every couple of months and chill.

[johnmerwin]

Funny to me how they spent like 11 years getting D3 really good and then with this game they purposely go out of their way to make the same mistakes again and again 😂. There’s no point to endgame when 300 is paragon cap and all glyphs are leveled up. Zero rewards for fully dedicated players.

[filipborring]

Barely played this game this season. The only thing I care about is that spirit born gets nerfed to the ground and every other class gets buffed. I want Barb to be in it’s prime

[CJM]

Thanks for the info. Always love the VODs

Do you know what I would love PoE 2 to become...? The slow-paced gameplay that Diablo 4 started with, but with the content that PoE 1 have. I know it won't be the case, it's just not what the majority of the fandom wants and that's fine. Regarding this season of Diablo 4, I'm going to play it absolutely, it's going to be fun!

Now... can people stop comparing the amount of content PoE 2 will have against Diablo 4's release? You know that PoE 2 is using the same base as PoE 1, same data and upgraded engine, kind of like how Bethesda is doing with their titles. The content was there from the start but it "only" had to be modified (still a bunch of work). Diabo 4 was a restart from scratch. Does that mean that Diablo 4 was in any way "better"? Not at all. But people need to know *why* PoE 2 is going to have so much content from the beginning of release compared to Diablo 4. Don't expect this to be the norm.

And finally: if you're part of the tribalism of "us vs. them", go figure stuff out about yourself and why you're so miserable that you can't leave people be. Let people enjoy their games!

[stefan.antonio.]

The armory is cool but with the state of the game we can't afford a 2nd build. Not a proper version of a build anyways with how expensive masterworking is, and how low the ancestral drop rates have been on live.

Hopefully this opens up in the future
