Rain1: I'll believe it when I see it

nickh4354: Never clicked a video so fast. Thank you gogfather

HellYeahMan: Ooo I can’t wait to get my alchemy orbs and transmogs from the chests! :-/

MIG106: Gigabuffed seems quite generous.

patches1927: I still don't think this fixes the underlying issues of anything sub Tier 3 is basically worthless and the time to get to Tier 3 for rooms is crazy and too RNG based.

rv5v5vtv6fwgc: still don't want a 15 minute long excursion every 6 maps

germalganis: Hi SirGog, thanx for the videos

bleetx: great vid as always but I don't think this is enough to sway me back.

Kyoj1n: I have seen alchemy benches. In the interludes at least.

CTPATEG1: Gigabuffed . U got an alch in alch bench. Ty ggg

aldodzb: Unsure if its enough to make it worth to run the temple, but being able to connect rooms using any room is game changing, it will make it a LOT easier to get the arch rewards and atziri.

They double down on the "stack room buffs" initial idea, but I guess they didn't have time to do more drastic changes.

This still doesn't change the fact that the main league content was rushed.

monoman567: So the "fix" is to make the temple take even longer by adding bosses to everything, that's a hard pass even if the do end up dropping better loot. No reduction to the size of temples or increase to the number of tiles to pick from hurts, I don't see temple being worth it unless you plan on playing for 500 hours and focus on building the temple to maximize farm without Atziri or Architect.

Singular1tty: To echo another comment, always appreciate the calm and clear approach. Thanks Sirgog

overshare7: This is all cool, but when I can't play the game, like so many others due to texture problems, this isn't that relevant... Sad Xmas.

TheCosmicAstro-: I just wanted the exalt, regal, yada yada, benches to actually exist after act 2. Its like you get into act 3 and you never see them again.... ive leveled 3 characters to act 4 or beyond now and every single time, once i get past a certain point in the campaign, the rooms have zero interactable options 9 times out of 10 that isnt giving sockets or quality...

Dont get me wrong. The changes are good. But being able to take the currency doesnt matter if its never showing up to begin with...

Not to mention if they kept it unable to be taken they could reasonably buff the amount they show up by quite a good amount to make it actually rewarding..

dustinwagner5902: Shit game already needs MAJOR CHANGES, which is steady every single patch now for both PoE 2 and PoE 1.

The team is so lost without Wilson

markmiller5644: So, now we have to wait for a shitty chest to rise up to click and get no loot as opposed to just getting no loot lol

slimi_jimi: The complexity has not been addressed

marx96xVx: I kind of dont understand them making it so the beacon encounters are gonna spawn chests. In the campaign, the loot from the beacons was absolutely fine - it felt like you were guaranteed a currency orb or two, and im pretty sure that a magic chests drops less rewards then than on average. When it comes to maps and the beacons in general, making it so the beacon spawns a chest instead of just dropping loot on the ground feels like form over function, since you'll probably have to wait for the chest to spawn (bc theres for sure gonna be an animation for that) and then you'll have to click it to open, which is another small animation. And good luck clicking the chest when there's a portal to the temple opened right beside it.

DoctorStrange01: willing to bet it will still not be worth doing after the patch

wot4109: Loot? I don't think so, mark my words, this changes not give even 10% what abyss farm was before nerf

lowlaffles258: I appreciate this video right now, it feels really nice to get a calm opinion and analysis of the current state of the game.

patrickx1744: architect should not remove other room or build setup of the vaal temple you try to build. Period. I don't like that, it's dumb

voswouter87: But PoE2 is supposed to be the easier variant, yet they made the temples really complicated to build.

Delusional-People: A bit late, Already lost over 100k players.
