Excited for PoE 2?

Curious. Just curious.

I honestly don't see them doing generator spender combo systems well. I've looked at the showcases and it looks meh to me.

Poe has a ton of design flaws that if they bring into poe2 will clash with any modern systems. Imagine poe without the atlas, will that be fun on release? maybe. I don't really think GGG is going to make a campaign that is as cinematic as diablo's campaign, or as potentially interesting as lost epoch's time shifting idea (despite them not fully exploring it).

I am mostly concerned about engine performance. Considering how much MTX makes the engine crap the bed in poe1, poe2 had better get their performance locked down. The stuff they showed on stage and at cons had a lot of framerate issues. A lot of gamers may forgive an old game for having issues with modern tech, but not a brand new one.

Kinda neutral I guess? I love PoE 1, and from what I've seen from the videos
PoE 2 seems a very different game. I don't care if PoE 2 fails, but I'm also open-minded to give it a try and let it surprise me. Who knows - maybe it will be a masterpiece and much better than PoE 1. Currently I'm just happy that they decided against merging both games. Otherwise I would be very seriously concerned that the PoE 1 in its current form will be completely massacred.

I'm definitely not in the 'can't wait!' mindset, and don't care if it releases in 5 years from now. Also no matter if I end up liking it or not, I hope PoE 2 succeeds because I have a lot of respect for GGG because of PoE 1, and wish them all the success and profit in the world.

The "One game, two campaigns" trailer is still what you find there:

Doesn't seem GGG is all that excited, either. =9[.]9=

From what I've seen of poe2, I think poe1 is more my cup of tea, so I'm not super excited but I do look forward to give it a try and maybe it'll surprise me.

Nope. The game looks slow compared to POE 1

In the videos I see how characters constantly go down almost instantly. I don't need that kind of gameplay.

Also, what about FPS and especially FPS in a group?

Well...

I'll give it a try, but I've been more negative than positive about all their reveals so far.

Crossplay is a massive mistake though.

Can’t wait

POE 2 will be designed as a console game. And some of the earlier footage, on closer inspection, already gave that suspicion.

Final sentence in the Official Console Deep Dive Gameplay Exclusive Trailer of Gamespot:
"Yeah I am really looking forward to converting everyone to use a controller when they are playing POE 2."

It is not the first game series to abandon its pc roots to go for console priority design.

So the huge excitement I had with POE 2 campaign when it was announced in 2019-2020, not much is left over.
