Resumen entrevista Jonathan y Zizaran

If a stash tab equivalent exists in POE 1, you will get it in POE 2. If it doesn't, currently you don't get anything, but that mechanic (say blight) gets added, the tab will be too

Jonathan is not a big fan of quad tabs. Item art too small and hard to see. He understands that their utility far outweighs this for most people

Jonathan things target dummies are "hard" design wise because of resists / armor. What about no stats at all? Or possibly a normal mob and a boss. Jonathan is not opposed to adding something like this in the future

You can NOT portal out of boss fights. You can NOT change your equipment during a boss fight either

You CAN log out of a boss fight. You have the option to spawn back at the previous checkpoint instead of back at the boss. Essentially you can log out and forfeit the boss fight

6 second disconnect timer exists. If you LAG for more than 100 milliseconds the instance is paused (lag-death protection). If this lag doesn't resolve in 6 seconds, you will be disconnected

Character names work exactly like POE 1, no number discriminators like for accounts. After a character is not logged in for 1 year, its name goes into the available pool. If someone else picks it, the original character will be flagged for rename. Good luck

You can NOT over socket runes (can NOT replace one, once is already socketed)

Runes are fairly common, good Soul Cores are rarer

Mana leech exists, but only for attacks

Getting to crit cap (100% chance to crit) is going to be harder than POE 1

The highest tier of any mod should be something you're excited to see

The highest tier of Light Radius is tier 6, so if you find a "HIGH TIER" (rarity) item, it could potentially not even roll Light Radius on it (HUGE W)

Monster abilities (like a triple projectile fireball for example) either all crit, or none of them do, they are open to changing this

Player multi-proj abilities however have individual crit calculations

Bosses can crit. They are open to feedback on this

Monsters don't have charges since they no longer grant anything inherently anymore

Support playstyles will be much more active than in POE 1

/ladder exists, same as in POE 1. It was a throwaway "cheat" command before they made a ladder screen. 12 years later, there is still no ladder screen. Maybe soon™

Open to expanding ladder with Time of Kill for bosses etc. API work

Name in Lights exist (server wide yellow-text announcements for "first to X zone, first to X level -every 5 levels)

If there is a massive skill-tree change, every character gets a free full respec

Ascendency skills gain sockets (for support gems) with character level. Late 80s for "6-link"

Skills tied to items roll sockets (for support gems) on the item

Low life is 35%>

Force move works the same as POE 1. No separate key bind, but you can put it on your "second bar". Open to adding it

You can only use a Tower one time. Generally there will always be more maps in the radius of a tower than what a Tablet will buff

Jonathan wants to make the perfect action RPG, and he'll keep going until he feels like he's achieved that

Hardcore characters that die go to Softcore

Jonathan thinks getting over a million players on EA launch is unlikely, he thinks on actual launch (free 2 play) they will go way above that. However they synthetically tested up till 1.6 million players, trying to tune that up to 2 million. Of course real players will be different, very hard to prepare for such a huge launch

No Exilecon in 2025. There will "almost certainly" be more in the future

Predictive and Lockstep networking modes still exist. There is a new Hybrid mode, it's predictive networking but tries to prevent issues that predictive has (desync). Especially good for WASD. Pretty much everyone at GGG plays on Lockstep, so Hybrid and Predictive needs more testing

Player rarity is multiplicative with map rarity

Guild stash tabs will not transfer to POE 2, since Guilds are separate

POE Mobile is on hold
