owa1985: The real endgame is trying to get flicker strike to work.

CPTcast: Welcome, Exile!

You beat the tutorial.

RamzaBehoulve: PoE is the pinnacle of ARPG complexity.

Even a veteran of ARPG will get overwhelmed at first.

You absolutely need to set small goals and once you've done it, move on to bigger ones, step by step.

For this league, I would first focus on building the city. That's fun in itself without the need to progress the atlas and kill pinnacle/uber bosses.

elmismisimoexcel1852: the developers have a phrase that i like that they have repeated multiple times which is "once you have reached maps, we own your soul"

jimbo2034: I'm 2500 hours in and I have no idea whats going on. 10/10

yunwuxin3348: and so, the rabbit hole grows deeper.

kylen9954: See for POE vets. The build planning, resetting, mistakes, semi permanent choices, complexity is the charm. Almost like the difficulty of Soulsbornes.

If you appeal to everyone you appeal to nobody

Failing is desired

snowii5561: this guy knows more about the story in one playthrough than i do after hundreds

via_negativa6183: There are two types of people in this world. One opens the Poe skill tree and says Wtf and /uninstall. The other type of person opens the passive tree for the first time and elicits a maniacal "YESS finally." ... I'm in the later category and POE has entered my top 5 games of all time and the very first example of a live service game actually done right. I've played this game for a decade at this point and I've spent less money on it than my last AAA purchase. It's a little tight but its absolutely possible to play the entire campaign with the free storage space they give you as well. I would say there monetization is entirely reasonable.

szadeklautrec2475: overwhelming as a new player but with guidance, truly a gem of a f2p game.

AMoralMan: Path of Exile is a game made for Path of Exile players. Like the name of the company suggests, Grinding Gear Games has made a game for grinding gears. It's a game made by fans for fans and there's no other company like it. Is it perfect? No. Nothing is. But it's perfect for the PoE fans. And in the end... Isn't that what matters most?

Velarieth: "I beat Path of Exile"

Oh, my sweet summer child. You beat the first section of the tutorial. It's insane how deep this game is.

randomfeg4141: Chris has consumed another soul. Welcome! Been playing for 10 years still learning new things every league.

TalkativeTri: Welcome.

XBullitt16X: He finally tried it! POE is amazing, my favourite f2p game next to Warframe.

xxdarkpersonaxx9496: We are very similar, this is my first time really going through POE. I’ve tried it in the past and dropped off because I didn’t use a guide or I bricked a character.

I’m married with a 4 month old th old baby and I’m on act 7 almost act 8, the game is incredible. There is definitely a lot of systems and like you I’ve spent a lot of time with them but I think that’s to prep you for the end game. Being able to tailor the end game to content you want to play is such a good feature.

I’m also playing a witch and a minion build

PoppaKrunch: Wisdom is the offspring of suffering and time.. great line and pretty aptly describes poe lol

pikachu2003: Fun tip… the town is a POE 2 and new pirate boss are POE 2 bosses. Enjoy the soft beta :-) for PoE 2!!

knicklichtjedi: We got him, boys!

Once you reach Maps, you unknowingly sell your soul to Chris.

Also, we long time players love to watch you learn mechanics, so feel free to take us on that journey as well; be it a stream or a video (series).

jethrolarson: POE is like cooking in that if you don't know how to cook and just do random things in the kitchen its probably gonna go poorly and you probably have to find a cookbook or get someone to teach you. This doesn't make cooking not a rewarding thing and once you have mastery improvising becomes much more doable

Caio-BABYMETAL: I didn't know you were cooking this video for us. I mentioned GGG and PoE so many times talking about DE and Warframe, that they are the only games in the present that i can waste money without hurting my conscience, cause i know that both of the companies will use the money in a good way for the game again.

Kamelosk: once you beat the campaign and see the atlas and its tree, you realize you have 8 years of endgame content in front to you to discover

GRIMHOOD99: Just to do short (xdd) notes to help understand endgame story of our characters for last 11 years:

- (we) found atlas of worlds and masters that give us missions

- Zana helps (us) with Atlas because evil presence of shaper shapes it by it's will against us

- Shaper is Zana's dad (we) stop him but...

- Shaper is lesser evil working uneillingly for Elder the cosmic eldritch horror that eats emotions and (we) have to stop him

- (We) Elderslayers do

- Oh shit Elderslayers (not us but kinda us) went mad with power after Zana locked them in the Atlas we have to stop them because we opened the atlas, we beat them but...

- Zana's (ex-)boyfriend elderslayer presumed dead disintegrates Oriath to feel something vecause he is emo like that, we stop him but Oriath is gone

-Zana leaves because she's emo like that and Kirac is new Zana with different missions and store!

- Hey slaying elder made an eldritch sized power vacuum here comes Maven an eldritch horror child, we have to entertain her to figure out how to beat her and so...

- We beat her, she apologizes but that power vacuum called more eldritch adult horrors like Exarch and Eater so we have to help her get rid of them. And so we do and that's where we are now.

- we were also: playing autochess with karui legends in afterlife, found out innocence is a fraud who got divinity by being a cult leader, old masters betrayed us because one of them made them immortal and now they are syndicate, we stole some stuff from safes, had fun spring with robots that made enemies drop more stuff, were in a mirror-land, pumped some infection out of the land to get oil, entered alternative reality of DEMONS EVERYWHERE in three flavours, did some digging deep underground and archaeology with dynamite, had some fever dreams and voices in our head, played pokemon, opened some chests, grew some plants, beaten the fuck out of blue man group, went back in time to steal from aztecs, killed the demonofied aztec queen with 6 tits 4 hands and more gold than god, did some emperor labyrinths to ASCEND, built a memory palace of a TEMPLAR HITLER so he can remember it's time for GENOCIDE, busted some ghosts and other demons that have nothing to do with DEMON REALITY these are just otherworldly and have 5 flavours instead, built some nemesis and archnemesis just to realise it was a mistake, told aztec apostle of chaos god "I'd win" and runned around the circle, read some cards, read some prophecies, buried people so their spirits can make us some sick shoes and finally built a town of kingsmarch. Also fishing?

hulkhogansgianttaint9451: Best League of all time.

kodakadenza: I heartily suggest getting Path of Building. Being able to import your character and see how different things contribute to your damage and defense really helps.
