POE2 feels like you guys took all the complaints of POE1 and turned those into the core concepts

List of POE1 complaints that are the main features of POE2

POE1 - Flasks don't get enough charges
POE2 - Flasks REALLY don't get charges now and you only get 2

POE1 - Bosses have too many 1 shot mechanics
POE2 - Bosses still have insane dmg AND they reset the fight if you die

POE1 - Campaign is too slow
POE2 - Campaign is WAY slower

POE1 - Melee feels very bad because its slow and relies on warcries
POE2 - Melee is even slower and still relies on warcries

POE1 - Early game mobs are too hard and punishing for new players
POE2 - Early game is even MORE hard now and MORE punishing

POE1 - Rare items don't feel like they are worth ID'ing
POE2 - Almost no rares drops and they still don't feel worth ID'ing

POE1 - Please don't make the game like ruthless
POE2 - Basically is ruthless

POE1 - Don't make me spam movement skills non-stop during bosses
POE2 - Every boss is built around boss skills that can only be escaped via a dodge roll and you basically have to use it or die

POE1 - Crafting isn't deterministic enough
POE2 - Crafting is even LESS deterministic and no crafting bench

----------------

I could go on and on.....and I'm not even joking about these...
But it seems like all of the core complaints from POE1 were somehow taken as feedback for how POE2 should be designed

POE2 feels nothing like POE1, I know what game it feels like
It feels like D4...
and somehow feels worse than D4...
and I don't care for D4 at all...

I am so glad POE1 was not turned into this, thank you for whoever allowed us to keep POE1 because that will be the only POE for me

I've predicted poe2 will be like poe1 ruthless, and it is so. Except new dodge roll, guess it is better than no movement skills at all:)

Have you even played either of the two, ruthless or PoE2?
cause PoE 2 is not even remotely close to ruthless lol

This sums up my feelings pretty much across the board.

I have fun in PoE1 and even Diablo 3.

I didn't have fun in PoE2, just like I didn't have fun in Diablo 4.

Even after 10hrs in PoE2, it just feels tedious and just isn't fun.

Agreed

99% of my mtx "not supported in this game version". Not skill mtx, but armor skins. Either they are not ported yet, or this is a really nice scam:)

Scrolls of wisdom are still here. In nearly 2025. lol

Feels like ruthless with better graphics and a dodge mechanic.
