General Discussion - What will happen to path of exile 1 when 2 comes out? - Forum

" xMustard wrote: it isn't a separate game. ppl need to stop calling it (GGG especially) path of exile 2. it isn't path of exile 2. its patch 4.0. path of exile 4.0 its the same game. they're essentially just changing a bunch of stuff and added another story line, another 6 acts or whatever that you can do instead of the 10 we have now. and specific ascendancies will be connected with each story line. poe1 will have the ascendancies we have now. poe2 will have to be played to get the new ascendancies. once they're all unlocked once, you can play whichever you want and choose whatever you want Wait, what? Hahaha. Ok, I somewhat feel dumb but GGG calling it PoE 2 is definitely not good and has confused me. I haven't paid any attention to anything other than hearing "PoE 2". It seems really odd GGG calling it PoE 2 though as it suggests an entirely new game.	Posted by Spider2k9#3231 on Jun 26, 2020, 6:09:39 AM Quote this Post

Basically "POE 2" could allow GGG to remove legacy features in a way that POE-2.0 doesn't. - POE2 may not be supported on the XB1/PS4. - POE2 may only support vulkan, change hardware requirements, change controller support etc. - POE2 may 'assume' an SSD as standard. - POE2 may get rid of various mechanics, clean up the item system, change the league->standard item mess etc.	Posted by dumbo11#6014 on Jun 26, 2020, 9:21:20 AM Quote this Post
Maybe I am the only one that does not like POE2. So I hope they dont change poe1 to poe2.	Posted by Setasuna#6680 on Jun 26, 2020, 10:18:35 AM Quote this Post
I presume we will have a separate PoE 2 stash and an empty character roster. I'd hate to have to buy new character slots to be able to play the new acts. ='[.]'= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah#7060 on Jun 27, 2020, 1:02:39 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
My understanding is that PoE2 is mostly marketing hype. It is a regular release of PoE just more new content than usual compared to a regular release including an alternative story line path. Both story lines will be available and one chooses which story line to play at character creation time. Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

POE2 allows GGG to create a working engine, not the thing we are currently using.

Don't abandon us. don't turn your backs on the ones loving poe.	Posted by satanttin#4601 on Jun 27, 2020, 4:00:30 PM Quote this Post
from what i understand it looks liek it's gonna be more like poe1.5 than poe2. you'll still be able to play the "poe1" story line if you choose so. both will lead to the same endgame/mapping. imo, calling it poe2 at all is a marketing trick.
