Scaring Blizzards?

from Forever Exiled Hosted by Tagz, Wrecker of Days

A D5 announcement for a product 3 years away? Is GGG scaring Blizzard with Path of Exile 2? We get there, eventually. Thanks for listening to episode 363! You're the best! In Episode 363 of Forever Exiled, Justin and Tyler discuss whether Grinding Gear Games and Path of Exile 2 are putting pressure on Blizzard and the Diablo franchise. With a reported Diablo 5 release still years away, they compare the paths taken by GGG and Blizzard, the rivalry between Path of Exile and Diablo, and why competition between major action RPGs can ultimately benefit players. The conversation also digs into Path of Exile 2 build diversity, minion theorycrafting, Smith of Kitava, temporary zombies, Skeleton Brutes, power charges, Minion Instability, curses, boss damage and survivability. They share their frustrations with PoE 2’s Atlas progression, campaign length and endgame systems, along with thoughts on Ritual, Abyss, Breach, Expedition and other league mechanics inherited from Path of Exile 1. Are GGG and Path of Exile 2 genuinely scaring Blizzard, or is Diablo 5 simply following Blizzard’s existing development cycle? Join us for another relaxed, honest and occasionally distracted conversation about PoE 1, PoE 2, Diablo, ARPG design and the games we cannot stop theorycrafting.
