Take on "Ben's" feedback

I agree with bens video too. Hopefully they take his complaints seriously and make this a better game for everyone.

no hes absolutely correct on all things he said. its good to see a that finally a big streamer speaks the truth because trust me a LOT of other big names think the same they are just too scared to speak up and give negative feedback to GGG

He is, in fact, absolutely not correct on all things.

Quote: "When they do the reset, when they do the nerf, it's gonna be with the economy reset which is the opposite of an ideal solution for a finished game.
But I just feel like the first impressions of how a game plays is like really important, but if you leave it up for two months..." yadda yadda.

First of all, that we get big balance changes (nerfs) with a new league (economy reset) was always the practice with PoE, you know - no mid-league nerfs, but now it's a bad thing that GGG doesn't want to screw ppl with nerfs here and there every few days instead bundling them up until they reset the economy? Yeah, no.
Secondly, the game is literally not "finished" by any means. They released it in Early Access so we can test and they can develop (improve/add) things until it's finished. They went on holiday for weeks and gave us patch 0.1.1 pretty fast after.
What does he want? The game isn't even out yet, but he is complaining that GGG is basically doing nothing for 2 months. BREAKING: min 12 months will pass until the game is done.

The things he said are so back and forth. On one side it sucks that "all builds" use heralds and full-screen-clear with one button, but then the one-button full-screen-clear Titan build is actually one of the great ones.
So, what is it? Full-Screen-Clear good or bad?
It's kinda ironic that he dislikes this "meta" (nobody forces on him) while playing a zoom zoom build in PoE1 where the biggest gameplay challenge is "how fast can I trivialize enemies on my screen". Big cinema.

What’s the best ones you’ve played?

Grim Dawn and Chronicon

Just wait and see how much of Ben's feedback will be eventually implemented. His takes are pretty much the general sentiment among the playerbase.

They changed so many things that worked perfectly in PoE1 for no other reason than to be different. There was no need to reinvent the parts of PoE that worked so well.

And PoE2 is a 5/10 for you!? I guess tastes are different.

PoE 2 is 5/10 for most PoE players. It's even outclassed by Diablo 4 atm.

You didn't know taste were different? I'd rate it 5/10 also, its unfinished so hopefully it goes up butttt I have my doubts.

Why is "Ben's" in quotation marks? lol

I don't know it gave me an error posting so I had to delete a chunk, I haven't used HTML coding since the early 90s when this game and forums were designed.

Are all the players in the room with you?

Dude... we are 2 months in, but I guess all the ppl still playing the game prefer a 5/10 over anything else.
