It's still the same engine, it's not different game. They're just adding a new storyline in, which is PoE 2. The overhaul and major changes are still just 4.0.

It that true? Isn't GGG changing out the core game/engine for PoE 2 to get us the much demanded QoP improvements? I wasn't able to watch all the ExcileCon streams yet so I don't if GGG said anything about the PoE 2 core engine. If it is the same game engine then that's very disappointing to hear. The major problems of playing PoE have always revolved around poor QoP once the bugs get worked out of any given league.

GGG's custom (home rolled) game engine can't hold a candle to any other game in smooth multi-player game play. Even just playing solo PoE, in combination with Softlayer/Networklayer Internet lag and overloads (packet loss) routinely wreck attempts at getting any quality PoE play time. If GGG continues to place more and more code on top of their custom game engine then it won't be a very pretty scene. Already we're at "the straw that broke the camels back" breaking point with PoE (Syndicate is a perfect example) and thus PoE 2 should move to a better game engine in order to be a 21st century top quality game. If GGG isn't doing that then at least they should get the hell off of Networklayer Internet fiber for our Internet link. It sucks to infinity and beyond a lot playing PoE here in the US. I never have any trouble with any other arpg or game so my SW Florida Comcast Internet link works well for every game. Comcast hands off the PoE data packets to Networklayer at the Miami NAP and from there to Dallas it's on Networklayer and that sucks a lot as WinMTR shows. Going to WDC the hand-off is in Atlanta and Comcast is clean (0 packet loss) and from there to the WDC PoE realm it's fraught with a lot of packet loss.

If GGG doesn't address either problem then PoE 2 will have pathetic QoP too and be a failure.

It has too many changes to only call it 'PoE 1.5', but missing some things you'd expect from a '2'.

I guess PoE 1.8572 doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Marketing. They knew they could get away with it though since PoE fanboys are on a completely different level when it comes to mental gymnastics.

It's kind of funny that my comments from like a 3 weeks ago are still floating around in your head.

It's even funnier you consider that memory span abnormal.
