GGG's interview was amazing, however Zizaran...

should've tried the new class Huntress in order to gather more feedback
and have a direct comparison with the Devs.

I am disappointed and saddened by this because I like the class.
The combo-based gameplay is truly great in an aRPG and deserved more exploration.

The devs dont really play the game.

They are lying in the interviewes.

Thats why you dont see any gameplay by them. When a dev play the game they show it like many other devs do. The guy with the glases at most logs in to shoot a skill a couple of times and then he goes: yep skill is good.

That why we get the responces we get from him. He doesnt play the game.

The only thing i will criticize Ziz on is the HC "is a boss supposed to kill me or deney me loot"... i mean wtf are you on bout.... come on you have a pause and exit option it is really HC (reset boss 7 times) at all and majority of players dont even play that

Also far to many "we have this in POE1" comparisons. felt like he just wants a copy of that game.

Tweak POE2 but please make the games different not copy and paste like the endgame is currently..

Its unreasonable to demand from streamers to play certain stuff. Especially a hardcore league one.

In the end 3 things were clear.

1.
Jonathan is really pissed how leople reacted and the feedback he gets for the way he wants the game to work. As passionate as GGG is, it issnt easy to push that negativity away - they are people too and we all can have a bad day. Does not excuse a bad product of course.
Marc was kinda mellow as ever, because (i think) he knows stuff issnt right and cant be at this point and wont take it as personal. Different angle on things.

Both havent tried the game in a long time in a true playthrough, i mean how could they as i presume their day has also just 24h.
But without the first hand experience, their disconnect grew over the month and you feel it. I think they noticed that and may choose different viewpoints and approach stuff different, so future patches wont seem as disconnected.

2.
A lot of important concerns were communicated and already solved. No one can say they are tone deaf. It will take time. Its normal not to instantly budge meeting resistance. We as players need to communicate more and more, but maybe less toxic here and there. Lots of vial comments out there....crazy shit.

3.
The game wont be poe1, it will be slower (catching up to poe1 as stuff gets added and power inflated). It wont be as diverse and more streamlined. They want you to use at least 3-4 abilities constantly on top of 1-2 automations to be effective. Crafting, if you can call it that, will be way less deterministic to keep drops viable for longer.

Thats what i at least took from the latest initerview.
Zizan did a great job and was already over polite and patient considering the spoiled attitude from Jonathan.

Yo yo man, I like how you analize each points. Thank you for this well-articulated response point by point! You've done a great job balancing criticism with an understanding of the challenges developers face. Your ability to analyze the situation from multiple perspectives is truly commendable and encourages a more constructive conversation within the community! Cheers

Too Confident of a statement at this point. Will see 0.2+ (0.3) end-game Feedback (later).

He was like that for good reasons, I too was baffled with some of the questions, Zizaran was not a great host, he was too biased, clearly emotionnally involved and he likes PoE1 a little too much. I was agreeing with Jonathan the whole time.
