패스 오브 엑자일 3.25: 게임 개발의 미래

### 패스 오브 엑자일 3.25: 한 시대의 끝인가, 새로운 시작인가?
* 🎮 최근 출시된 패스 오브 엑자일 3.25 확장팩 "칼가의 정착민"은 일부에서는 **패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시 전 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 "마지막" 확장팩**으로 여겨지고 있습니다.
* 🕹 하지만 게임 디렉터 조나단 로저스는 **"앞으로도 이 정도 규모의 콘텐츠를 기대해도 좋다"**며 이것이 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 끝이 아님을 분명히 했습니다.
* 💰 일부 회의론자들은 이 대규모 확장팩이 **패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시 전까지 플레이어의 참여를 유지하기 위한 현금 확보용**이라고 생각하지만, 두 게임에 대한 개발팀의 투명성과 헌신은 그렇지 않다는 것을 시사합니다.
* 🌟 패스 오브 엑자일 2가 더 많은 플레이어를 확보함에 따라 **패스 오브 엑자일 1이 점차 사라질 것**이라는 중도적인 견해가 있지만, 이 과정은 즉각적이기보다는 **3~5년 정도 걸릴 수 있습니다.**
* 🧙 ↪f_200D↩♂️ 낙관적인 견해는 **블리자드가 월드 오브 워크래프트와 와우 클래식을 관리하는 방식**처럼 패스 오브 엑자일 1과 2가 공존하며 지속적으로 개발될 것이라는 것입니다.
* 🎉 이 접근 방식은 **플레이어 기반이 분열되는 것을 방지**하고 두 게임에 대한 **장기적인 로드맵**을 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
* 🔮 두 버전에 대한 지속적인 업데이트와 핵심 커뮤니티를 유지하기 위한 노력으로 **패스 오브 엑자일의 미래는 밝아 보입니다.**
* 🎮 이 독특한 개발 전략은 **게임 업계에서 속편을 다루는 방식에 새로운 기준**을 제시할 수 있습니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 3.25, 칼가의 정착민은 패스 오브 엑자일 2의 동시 개발 전 마지막 확장팩으로, 두 게임의 지속적인 업데이트를 보장합니다.

the dust has settled, and Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Calgar has been fully revealed, and the patch is massive. It's likely the largest expansion in Path of Exile history, but that's not the most important thing that we need to discuss today. In fact, the most vital piece of information about this entire patch cycle was answered during Ziggy's interview with Mark Roberts and Jonathan Rogers, the game directors on Path of Exile. And Path of Exile, it was the very first question, and it's so important that we reflect on Jonathan's answer to it. Essentially, Ziggy D asked, Well, this expansion, this league, all this content that you're delivering in Path of Exile 1 here today for 3.25, because this is a farewell to Path of Exile 1, this is a happy sendoff to a game that you've been developing for more than a decade, and after this, PoE 2 is coming. Coming out, early access starts soon, there's going to be a closed beta.

period. beginning with a small set of people. in the very near future. you can sign up for that on Path of Exile 2.com. register by the way. and essentially. Settlers of calgar is just the culmination of all the Path of Exile one expansions and updates and leagues that grinding gear games has put out over the years. you know they started with tiny ones like Anarchy an onslaught. slowly built up to systems like breach. and then the Forbidden sanctum. and just last League. we had a crazy crafting system with necropolis. and now in 3.25. we have a city building mechanic. trading ship building. new boss fights. endgame revamps. a complete change to some of the biggest balance systems in the game. currency auction houses in the game. and more. this is it. this is the end of path of EX one. after this. there's tiny expansions coming out right now. of course Ziggy asked it far more succinctly than that. and we can play a brief part of the clip right here. but

Jonathan simply answers and says, This does this feel like to you guys? And I've seen this theory float it around a lot of a bit of a a bit of a sendoff league for Path of Exile 1. I guess I don't really see it that way because, you know, we intend to keep on making POE1 leagues. It really is just, you know, the standard lead cycle. You know, we wouldn't want people to think, Oh yeah, this is like the last PEW League or something like that, right? It's definitely not the case. You should expect to see things of this size in the future as well. That's right, Jonathan Rogers doesn't want people to get the wrong idea. And it's an idea that I've been spreading for quite some time in the lead up to Settlers of Calgar. It's that this is the final Path of Exile one expansion before P2 comes out. And then after then, a lot of the focus is going to be on PUE 2. Well, that's not what Jonathan thinks in the

slightest, and I don't think that's what Mark Roberts thinks either. These people play their games, they're involved with their Community, they understand the fundamentals of why people enjoy Path of Exile 1, and they think they know why people will enjoy Path of Exile 2. And as development has furthered on that sequel that a long time ago was supposed to be a part of the main game, now they are just so so different that they know that they can capture two communities here. They can Run Two args at the same time and please both audiences. And settlers of calgar isn't the end of Path of Exile's expansions, no, not in the slightest. In fact, I'm seeing it as the beginning of 4.0, especially if a lot of these systems go core. I'm surprised they didn't change it from 3.25 to 4.0. Jonathan Rogers said this is going to continue in the future. When Path of Exile 2 comes out, we're still putting out Path of Exile 1 content, and it's

going to be quality. It's going to be of this size. The Cadence, hopefully, will be quicker. He understands that P2 won't be for everyone, and a lot of people will still play P1 and prefer that game. And a lot of P2 players, well, they'll come back and play P1. So, Settlers of Kar is really trying to cement that fact to us, the community, and the broader gaming space. There were so many eyes on this announcement today, and on a day when Diablo I announced their Spiritborn class. I mean, it's just interesting to see the differences between development, what happens when a developer really understands their audience, almost all the time, especially when a developer plays the game consistently. You know, finally, Mark Roberts, he is at the helm, Grinding Gear Games, and Path of Exile. One, I love Chris Wilson, he's great. I enjoyed listening to him talk endlessly about the game. His opinions, though, it appears that they might be outdated for a lot of people who are currently

enjoying ARPGs, and with Mark Roberts at the helm for PoE1, and Jonathan Rogers making some decisions for PoE1 and PoE2, a lot of PoE1 is being modernized while keeping that depth and complexity that lots of people love about the game. And of course, the Zoomin too. It's a lot to take in, I know, and I'd like to talk about a few different opinions that I see wandering around out there: a cynical opinion, a middle-of-the-road opinion on all this, and the right opinion, the good opinion, and the opinion that I have about Path of Exile 1's development and Path of Exile 2's future. The cynical take here is that they're just trying to grab as much money as possible with this last expansion before they completely halt development on Path of Exile 1 and put it all on Path of Exile 2 once it comes out. A lot of people are saying that there's some new supporter packs out there, two $90 supporter packs. They want people to buy those so they put out

a hella big expansion. It's going to last, you know, five, six months, maybe until Path of Exile 2 is solid on the ground and running with its own two feet. And that's the only reason they made Settlers of Calgar such a massive experience - to grab the money, to keep players playing until PoE 2 is ready to go. And then they're just going to say see ya, PoE1, I'm out of here. Now, I'll fully deflate that argument with my final argument here, but I'll just slowly combat it right now. I don't think that's the case at all. Maybe if Grinding Gear Games was a different developer whom we did not know too much about, who we did not see so transparently, and who didn't communicate so openly with us, maybe I'd believe you there. But after what Jonathan said today and what he said in the lead-up to this, I really believe that he's telling the truth. It's one thing to do what he's been saying and saying oh.

yeah, you know, we're going to continue putting out big PeeWee One updates even when Pee2 releases. So on and so forth. Well, this update in particular obviously has been cooking for a long time. And even though some of the systems that they're using in it are from Path of Exile to like respecing with gold or the currency auction house, it's still such substantial changes to the fundamentals of PU1. In such a good move in a positive direction. I do believe this will continue in the future. They're not done at all with PE1. This isn't just a cash grab anymore. They're not like other companies out there. They could be making a ton of money, a ton more money right now, especially if they released P P2. Honestly, they could smash sales records with a PU2 release. Instead, they've been delaying it and delaying it. I really think now after this PU1, keeping it up is not going to be a cash for grab in the slightest. I don't think that argument has any merit presently. So that

was the cynical take now the middle of the road argument here. Once pu2 releases Path of Exile 1 will slowly but surely fade into the distance. It's going to ride off into the sunset. This is the beginning of that ride and sometimes rides begin gloriously. Right? Settlers of calgar is a massive expansion. But how in the world could they top this expansion in the future? After all, they're bringing a bunch of modernizations from pe2 into pe1 with it. They're making tons of huge improvements, lots of balance shifts, the content. This content people have been asking for it for quite some time. How could they top themselves here? And to that, I say maybe this has some more credence to it once Path of Exile 2 releases. If pu2 consistently draws larger and larger player numbers than pee2 and pee1, rather, I could see Grinding Gear Games slowly phasing out pe1 updates over time. And I'm talking about 3 to 5 years, not quick like the

cynical people think you know oh pee2 is out pee1 is done forever now. I could see between 3 and 5 years pee1 slowly getting smaller and smaller and smaller in pee2 just becoming a Titan of the arpg industry. However, I do think if that core Community does stay there and the developers at Gro games still do enjoy developing Path of Exile 1 as they seem to right now, it's just going to continue to get these updates. Mark Roberts even though he enjoys pe2, he's designing lots of the bosses there, he probably has lots of input on the game design in that sequel, obviously loves pu1. The currency trading system is being implemented in pu1 right now because he was frustrated trading with catalysts. He plays the game, he understands our troubles, he understands why we love the game, and he knows some of the big issues with it right item quantity being one of them and now that's gone in pee1 essentially now it's just item Rarity we're no longer going

to have the extreme bloat that we've seen for so many leagues now. He understands that was a problem now gone from the game. I think that's just going to continue to happen, and they're going to continue to put wild ideas into the game. They've been impressing us for more than a decade now. Just because pe2 is releasing doesn't mean that it's going to stop. Like I've said a few times in this video, they are fundamentally different games now, and they may have fundamentally different core audiences, even though both of them might intersect a lot of the time. And finally, for the good right take, which is my take here, what's actually going to happen pu1 and pu2 are going to be the way that arpg or sequels should have always been developed. I'll take an example right here, right now that a lot of you may understand. You might not understand, and that's Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 are

fundamentally different games. Completely different. One is like a group finding dungeon fighter with, you know, Max party size of like eight or something or 10. And you go and you fight Dungeons and you can use AI Companions and collect stuff. It's not open world. Everything is instance. Then Guild Wars 2, pure open world, a very small endgame of instanced content, lots of achievement, blah blah blah blah blah. Very different games. Guild Wars 1 essentially ceased development when Guild Wars 2 began its production and then eventually when it released. And that has always upset people because Guild Wars 1 is such a distinct experience and lots of people could see the value in continuing to put out expansions and changing the game, changing the balance, adding new items, adding new classes, new monsters, new bosses, new fights, everything. And it just halted when Guild Wars 2 came out. And only Guild Wars I was developed. That Community fractured. It shattered. And it's a true shame. And I think grinding your games is seeking to do almost The

Impossible. Here, they're seeking to run PoE1 and PoE2 the way Guild Wars 1 and Guild 2 should have run. PoE2 is going to come out. It's going to be fundamentally different from PoE1, but they are going to continue developing them concurrently. They're basically going to try to do what Blizzard is now doing with World of Warcraft retail and WoW Classic. If WoW Classic just always continued to exist and get classic updates, and then retail just kept expanding the world, expanding the story, releasing lots of new broken stuff, you know, updating the graphics and animations, all that stuff. What they're doing is genius, and I'm all here for it, and I know lots of other people are too. We don't need to turn this into a war between Path of Exile 1 players and Path of Exile 2 players. The investment is there from Grinding Gear Games, and the commitment is there. They're making console native console updates to PoE1. They don't want to put all that effort in if they're not going to continue updating this game and make

sure, it's a compelling experience for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of players in the future. We have a long, long future ahead of us for both PoE1 and PoE2, and I think that's the one biggest thing we can take away from GGG live today. There were lots of balance changes. This is a completely new game, essentially, and we're going to talk about a lot of that on this channel in the next few days. It's going to be a wild ride. I cannot wait to see you on launch day. I will be streaming on twitch.tv/talk of try and here on this YouTube channel. I hope you joyed me.

25 칼가르의 정착민: POE1의 미래

25 패치는 패스 오브 엑자일 역사상 가장 큰 규모의 확장팩으로, 도시 건설 메커니즘, 무역선 건조, 새로운 보스전, 엔드게임 개편 등이 도입됩니다.

여러 추측에도 불구하고 게임 디렉터 조나단 로저스는 이것이 패스 오브 엑자일 1과의 작별이 아니며, 앞으로도 비슷한 규모의 업데이트를 기대할 수 있다고 강조했습니다.

기존의 이론과 예상과는 달리 패스 오브 엑자일 2에만 초점을 맞추지는 않을 것입니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 1과 패스 오브 엑자일 2의 미래

그라인딩 기어 게임즈는 패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시 이후에도 패스 오브 엑자일 1을 계속 개발하여 두 플레이어 커뮤니티를 모두 만족시킬 계획입니다.

유저층에 대한 깊은 이해와 게임 개발에 대한 적극적인 참여는 마크 로버츠와 조나단 로저스의 리더십 아래 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 현대화를 이끌고 있습니다.

개발사의 재정적 동기에 대한 회의적인 시각도 있지만, 두 게임의 지속적인 품질과 발전에 대한 미래는 밝아 보입니다.

칼가 정착민 확장팩에 비추어 본 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 미래

그라인딩 기어 게임즈의 대규모 확장팩인 칼가의 정착민은 패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시 전까지 플레이어의 참여를 유지하기 위한 현금 확보용이 아니며, 회사는 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 지속적인 업데이트 계획에 대해 투명하게 소통해왔습니다.

이번 확장팩은 패스 오브 엑자일 1의 기본에 상당한 변화를 가져왔으며, 패스 오브 엑자일 2의 현대화와 상당한 개선 사항을 통합하여 게임에 대한 지속적인 집중을 시사합니다.

단, 패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시 후 속편이 훨씬 더 많은 플레이어를 끌어모을 경우 패스 오브 엑자일 1 업데이트는 3~5년에 걸쳐 점차 감소할 수 있습니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 1은 게임 디자이너인 마크 로버츠의 의견을 반영하여 업데이트와 새로운 콘텐츠가 계속 추가될 예정입니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 1에서 화폐 거래 시스템을 구현하고 아이템 수량 기능을 제거한 것은 플레이어의 우려를 해결하고 게임을 개선하겠다는 의지를 보여줍니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 1과 2는 길드워 1과 길드워 2와 유사한 개발 방식을 따르기 때문에 서로 다른 핵심 타겟층에게 어필할 것으로 예상됩니다.

길드워 1과 2의 독특한 개발 방식

길드 전쟁 1과 2는 근본적으로 다른 게임 경험을 제공했고, 개발 초점이 바뀌면서 커뮤니티가 분열되었습니다.

월드 오브 워크래프트의 소매 버전과 클래식 버전처럼 패스 오브 엑자일 1과 2를 동시에 운영하는 방식은 많은 플레이어의 지지를 얻은 천재적인 선택이라는 찬사를 받고 있습니다.

그라인딩 기어 게임즈는 두 게임 모두에 업데이트를 제공함으로써 패스 오브 엑자일 1과 2 플레이어 간의 격차를 줄이는 데 기여했습니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 1과 2는 대대적인 밸런스 변경과 완전히 새로운 게임 경험으로 앞으로의 미래가 기대되는 게임입니다.

다가오는 출시가 매우 기대되며, 크리에이터는 더 많은 게임 콘텐츠를 스트리밍하고 제작할 계획입니다.

패스 오브 엑자일 2 출시를 앞두고 구독자 25,000명 달성하여 시청자의 지속적인 성원에 보답하는 것이 목표입니다.
