4. ZERO league mechanics or extra content. which means no masters nor even rogue exiles or even strong boxes. its how the game would have been with only expansions and zero leagues.

5. eternal orbs drop. (since no harvest and not as many crafting options).


Not as many crafting options? You don't have any decent crafting options at all with the removal of each league mechanic.
alt + regal, ex slam and chaos spam. That's about it.
Kinda makes eternal orbs useless as you don't have anything worth to imprint anyways
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

0 chance they do soemthing like this when they are already strained with poe 2, the regular game, and ruthless, and we REALLY don't need anymore people taken away to do side projects, if there's content you don't like, don't do it, customize a filter and see only what you want to see, all kinds of options


Like I said... I can play Diablo 2 Ressurected and Classic World of Warcraft Hardcore server is coming out...

If you ask me to customize my gameplay with the atlas passive tree you literally didn't understand the point...

some people don't need all those crafting options to have fun...

That's the whole point.

For some (Me) the game is too overwhelming and boring atm...

newer players dont know the struggle of older players trying to make mirror tier items.

the newer items players can make nowadays are crazy god like.

Yea!! Exactly!! but it was diferent than playing Ruthless...

We knew we would be stuck with a 5L probly the whole league, maybe never drop a exalted orb, or a really GG item or anything.. but it was so good to play... The game was well balanced for crappy geared characters etc... Nowadays it feels they balanced the game ontop of the mirror tier item softcore builds, and than if you try to play Hardcore you just get one shot from some offscreen mechanic that insta kill you.. it sucks... the whole balancement of the game is completly broken to Hardcore mode the power creep got out of control... I REALLY wish I could have the chance to play Old Path of Exile again...

The game that had this music @exsea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e3PCR9bfp0&&ab_channel=AronJerda

And than 4 acts... 3 dificulties... you'd need to 'regear' your character to go face the next dificulty so probably farm some dried lake before progressing to the next dificulty, grabing few orbs to go in poe.trade and get maybe a better rare boots with few resistances, maybe a gloves, etc... it used to feel so good man.. the whole thing was better.. the economy, the social aspect of the game, the rotations, the playerbase, everything was much better...

Even a shavronnes wraping and a kaom's heart was something less than 0.1% of the player base would get their hands on..

The whole game felt a lot diferent... so I really think they could do a Path of Exile classic if they really wanted.. I would totally play it...

And having rotation leagues in there, instead of pile them up to the game, would just put them for 3 months and than completly remove, like they used to do... A server where we wouldn't have piled up content like we do nowadays

power creep. its all about powercreep. member when getting 100k dps was HUGE? modern POE is definitely a different game than the one i originally signed up for. not gonna lie i enjoy modern poe more than i hate it, but it has a lot of rage quit moments.

one of the biggest issues i have with modern poe is it's balanced around GOOD builds with good gear.

i wrote previously how i fell in love with the game coz it was classless. you could be a melee witch, it would be substandard but it can work.

now we cant afford that. we need to be hyperoptimized. a big issue right now is that the gap between a new player going in blind vs someone who follows build guides is 50-100k dps VS millions to billions dps.

you're expected to have top tier gear now. the power we had last time was sufficient back then but not now. the stuff that we have now makes our old items look like vendor food.

it doesnt help that GGG is making the game balanced around these "good builds". if you're only doing 100k dps, you're gonna have a bad time. then there's 1001 item interactions where players become neigh unkillable gods. GGG understandably doesnt want that. they could increase the monster damage, but the player's could mitigate or even recover the life loss quickly. how do you overcome life recovery? larger hits. thus theres tons of huge damage spikes in the game. GGG WANTS to kill the top tier players.

unfortunately its the weaker players that feel the effects the most.

i remember back when shaper was introduced. i NEVER killed red tier shaper back then. i was like fuuuuuck this is bonkers.

now? red shaper is considered "easy". we're expected to fight BOTH red tier shaper and elder AS BASELINE. on top of that we have uber pinnacle versions.

poe classic definitely would be interesting to have, and would be a good alternative to fall back on when i m bored of the modern version.

sadly the old a1n1 lioneye's watch music will never be in poe. i think the composer is charging an arm and a leg for it. as much as i love it, i rather GGG spend their resources elsewhere if its prohibitively high.

but damn man.... that music IS POE CLASSIC.

we didnt have POB. i would spend a lot of time in town looking at my passive tree wondering how to make the best of it.

trade was slow and we didnt have hideouts. a1n1 was the place to go.

if poe classic were ever to be a thing, i would want the "old graphics" to be brought back

the old lioneye's watch without the ramp to the portal.

also i would want the old character selection screen from within the ship.

a nice touch would be having an ingame cutscene of the ship crashing. but yeah, not too necesary. resources could be better going elsewhere
