hi Zen here with another video, and we are 4 hours out from the new uh path XEL announcement, so I made a bingo. She it did start out as 5x5, but I have so many things that I think could be a thing or some of these are things I don't even think could be a thing. I just want them to be a thing, and GD are very known for watching People's Bingo sheets, so GD if you see this, some of these are fairs, some of these are once, and some of these are hopes. Don't crush my dreams. I think Ador Nerf is very likely, incredibly likely, probably one of the most likely things on here. Is just super strong, and I do like it though I don't think it needs a Nerf. If anything, what I think they should Nerf is that it has it can go lower, so you can have completely dead ones. Essence train buff, this is a hope and dream. I don't necessarily believe this, but I just I miss Essence Trin contagion builds. They were super fun.

love to make another one bud. Magic is just kind of feels kind of Jank and useless right now. I think it just needs a buff. New Scarab seems like a no-brainer. Surely, we'll get new scarabs and reward scarabs, and especially some of the easy ones that just cause something to spawn could be buffed. Like there's so many usess ones that are just dead. Apparently, people are hiding scarabs on their filter even though you can 3 to one them. So um art mjor Nerf um it is incredibly strong. I do think it was particularly strong because of graveyard being so completely busted but probably is still warranted a NF. I was thinking that maybe we'll get t 18 Maps but that seems very copium. I think that's kind of unlikely that we'll get that but uh more tier 17 maps does not seem out of the question. A problem solution notes so that they'll say like problem determination was used in every build solution Nerf it in half um two new void Stones. This is a spicy.

Prediction: I don't know. I'd say this is like a 20% chance. Uh, two new Void Stones, two new Reers, two new bosses kind of thing. Hi, I'm Chris Wilson from GES. Hopefully, we see a Chris video, dual-building Shields. I know a lot of people want that. I think that would be really cool. Raider rework. Raider is literally so bad right now. It is so dog. Please buff it. Uh, will the new mechanic be running in a circle or will it be a square? It'll probably be a circle. Will it be a cent of Katon League? Everything is pointing to yes, probably 98%. H. Gladiator rework. Well, yeah, I'm assuming it'll be more Gladiator rework, most likely happening. Uh, I know my friend Steel Mage would be very happy with that. Steel Mage really likes Gladiator. SOA, Son of Seven. Uh, higher item level, like maybe we'll have things at item level 87, 88, etc. That would be interesting. Currently, item level 86 is the highest and we can obviously get up

to item level 100. But there's no difference between 86 and 100 currently. Melee buff. This is the predicted melee buff league and they've said they're going to buff melee this patch, so we're assuming this is pretty much a free one two new bosses. Really really hoping for that new base skills. So this is not like TR skills. I'm think there's a small chance that we'll get a whole new base skill. Maybe we'll get an Exile Con announcement. I love Exile Cons. It's honestly the best convention I've ever been to. If you've ever been to multiple conventions, I'm sure a lot of people feel the same, but like Exile Con is really special. It's such a good vibe. Everyone is so cool with everybody and I I just love it. I'm really hoping that do another Exile CL uh detonate dead. Nerf DD is is just. I think a lot of us are kind of sad of uh corpse explosion skills dominating races and would like to see something else there.

will obviously always be something at the top, but it's not fun when the same thing is at the top for 6 years. Uh, any form of boat mentioned, any form of boat seen, any Boat Boat Boat Boat, anything with boat. Assassin rework, assassin's kind of bad right now. I like a lot of these things are hardcore, you can have bingo card without a centerpiece. I do what I want. Melee totem rework, kind of obvious that that's happening, so that's almost a free one. Rework tier 17s, there's so many problems with tier 17s at the moment, they're harder than Ubers and is bad if at the moment it should be the way that Ubers Dro tier 17s, um, so tier 17s need a big rework, is really, really bad. Stig and Nerf Stig revenants are awful and the number one thing that's ever killed me. I hope they get nerfed, especially the tier 17 ones. Recombinator back, this is the

ultimate copium. It is the best or second best or third best. Okay, so my top three ARPG features of all time is Val orbs, Rec combinators, and legendary potential. In last EPO, that is my top three coolest feature in an ARPG. Legendary potential. I would love legendary potential in POE. I don't think that's happening. Maybe they would make new items with legendary potential like a whole new item that can have legendary potential. That could be interesting, but I don't think legendary potential is something we'll see in POE on any item. But legendary potential, one of the coolest things I've seen in any RPG. Val orbs, one of the coolest things I've seen in PG, and Rec combinators, one of the coolest things I've seen. So I would love recombinator back free re in the campaign. This would be really good reeing at the end game in POE is perfectly balanced. Really good. It's in a really good thought out well state. Please don't mess that up, but resp

speing in the campaign is really really bad especially punishing for um new players. Whereas a lot of people want to start exploring pee on their own and play around. And then when people come to me, I get this several times a league, like 10 to 20 plus times a league. They're like, hey, can you help fix my build? I'm a new player. And I'm like, you got to make a new one, you're screwed. Like you're not going to get 110 regrets as a level 50. Like obviously not 50, but you get the idea. You're just not going to get that many regrets that early. Uh, so free re bike in the cign would be great. Z is back this patch, I'm calling it now. I think that's kind of likely, 60-70% chance. Uh, I think we'll get a boat Hideout, that would be cool. Cleave buff, Cave's radius is buffed by one. Uh, bleed buff that makes steal happy, he likes bleeding everywhere. TOA so they've said so we already getting Affliction back.

they've said we're getting one more thing. One more mechanic is coming back. So it's TOA or combinators. Like it's Toto or Sentinel. I don't know which, but those are our only two choices. Like they're not going to put parandas or something back in or something. I can't think of anything. They're not going to put kandra in, right? This is PTSD League. Pee2 will be mentioned, but there's no pee2 news in this one. I Scourge Could Happen. Suppression getting nerfed. I think that could be kind of likely. I think they should have never nerfed nerfed how easy it was to get suppression. I think they should have nerfed how much suppression does. I think it should only do a 30% damage reduction. I hope there will be a boss kill race. If so, I will be playing hardcore solo cun and really going hard on that. So hoping really really hard for a boss kill race. I think there will be a pee mobile mention. It's a very very long time since.

they've talked about pee mobile um, and I think it'd be really interesting. Not necessarily for myself, but I really hope that, especially because they've said they're going to have the same monetization on mobile as PC, right? So, the only pay-to-win will be stash TBS. I think that would be very healthy for mobile gaming if a good game came to mobile and did well with not predatory monetization. That I would like to see because mobile, uh, mobile monetization is very predatory, um. So yeah, I wanted to make this video and go over this, but yeah, I think these are the things we're going to be hoping and coping for tonight. Hope you're all excited. Let me know your predictions in the comments down below, but either way, thanks for watching. Sub if you like the video, but more importantly, try to die less than I do.

Speculations on Path of Exile's Upcoming Announcement

Zen shares a bingo card with potential game changes ahead of the Path of Exile announcement.

He predicts a likely nerf for Ador and hopes for a buff to Essence Train.

Zen also anticipates the introduction of new scarabs and a possible nerf for Art Mjor's strength.

There is speculation about the introduction of two new Void Stones, Reers, and bosses.

The possibility of a new mechanic involving running in a circle is likely, along with a potential Gladiator rework.

There are hopes for an increase in the item level and a buff for melee, as well as the introduction of new base skills.

The community is also anticipating a possible announcement regarding Exile Con and a change to the dominant Detonate Dead skill.

Consider reworking tier 17s due to their current level of difficulty surpassing Ubers.

The community is hoping for a nerf of Stig and Stig revenants, especially the tier 17 ones.

The reintroduction of Recombinator is highly desired, as it is considered one of the top three ARPG features, along with Val orbs and legendary potential.

Hopes and Predictions for the Upcoming Game Patch

Players are struggling with the current campaign, especially new ones who find it hard to fix their builds later on.

There is a high expectation for a free rebuild option in the upcoming patch, along with the possible return of Z and the introduction of a new Hideout.

The patch is also anticipated to include a buff for Cleave, changes to bleeding mechanics, and a potential nerf for Suppression.

The Impact of Monetization on Mobile Gaming

Pee mobile is expected to have the same monetization as PC, focusing on stash TBS to avoid a pay-to-win model.

This approach could potentially set a healthy example for mobile gaming, which is often plagued by predatory monetization.

The hope for a successful and ethical mobile game monetization model is a key focus of the discussion.
