[POE2] Are we going to keep and fully use our bought stash tabs from POE1 into POE2?

Why do they keep calling PoE 2? its PoE 4.0

PoE 2 implies its a new game when it is not its literally the same everything with new systems (mostly the gem system?) and a new story added as far as i can tell

When any other game updates stuff with new systems do they just call it new game 2? cause sims games would be like sims 90 by now if thats how that works
If I cannot run my standard characters through the POE2 Acts, I'll be mightily disappointed.

Its literally called path of exile 2, what are you even trying to argue ? Its going to be vastly different than the currency game especially in mechanics and the campaign.

Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Labyrinth salt farm miner.

They explained why they're calling it "PoE 2" even though PoE 2.0 has already come and gone: it's purely marketing. They want to emphasize the new story-line and socketing system, along with the culmination of a bunch of engine enhancements.

But they've explained clearly that it's not a separate game. They're not building a whole new engine, they're not building a whole new client, they're not building whole new servers.

It'll be a continuation of the current game, albeit with a major overhaul of the item/gem/socketing system. There will be an additional new 7-act storyline, with additional new character classes and ascendancies, but you'll still be able to play the current 10-act storyline with the current classes and ascendancies. The end-game will be the same regardless of which character class you pick and which storyline you level through. They're not going to end 1.0 and start over with 2.0.

Therefore, you'll be able to keep your current stuff. Mostly. How will the gear change with the sockets removed? They're figuring that out. But the intention is clearly to migrate stuff (I say "migrate" even though nothing is going anywhere, but there will be big item changes), not to take stuff away.

My guess? They'll have us socket the active skill gems we want to keep into our gear, and then they'll transfer the gear's sockets to the skill gem, so a 6-socket chest (for instance) can turn into a 6-socket skill gem (or the equivalent, probably 5 support sockets). Everything else will either lose its sockets (gear) or get sockets rolled randomly (active skill gems). Nothing needs to be done for support gems.

Things with special socket requirements will be a nightmare to figure out.

The only thing that can be considered a new game on that page is if they took the new story and made a new game based on PoE

Every league they add new items some leagues they add new base types and they dont call it PoE 3 4 and 5?

When they added the class system was PoE called PoE 2? im going to guess and say no
Isn't the PoE 2 thing basically what's happening to Phantasy Star Online?

They literally called the addition of Act 4 as POE 2.0, and then Act 5-10 as POE 3.0

They just ran out of idea to just call the entirely new story campaign, probably new socket system and probably new graphic as POE 2 instead of POE 4.0

They wont earn money if we can keep Stashes and other MTX stuff...
So i dont believe we can transfer much to POE2 but a few things...

If POE2 is good enough to get me excited to play, i am willing to invest.



GGG already announce that mtx will carry over

These are version numbers im not really sure how games do these but i think the more and bigger things added the higher the numbers

PoE 2.0 is not the same as PoE 2 and if it was the version numbers would have to start over i think and they didnt

If anything this should still be call PoE version 4.0 and name it something like the other 2 things we had before (i dont remember the names but one was for the new atlas and the other was for??? the start of sirus maybe?)
