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

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.


Weird that a lot of the people in this thread slamming the game and saying POE is far better have next to no POE characters in their profiles. This dude has 3 none above level 40.

I like the change of pace, didn't just want a reskinned poe 1, I have poe 1 for that. I have been taking my time and learning the new game and I am enjoying my time in the game. Not going in with poe mindset of smashing through the campaign. This game has a lot right for me but us in need of tuning. Act 2 and 3 were easier than Act 1 so that needs tweaking. Loot is not as abundant but I found ways to utilise what I had and by Act 3 I had a ton of rare and a few usable uniques. I have run a few classes and find the idea of getting no rares in 8 or 12 hours a bit ridiculous. No one in my gaming group has had that happen and that's across 30 plus characters.

I really think ascendancy needs tuning, didn't enjoy the two options so far and can't comment on the next option as its not in early access but as it stands I can see this putting people off. Too much RNG to access a vital part of your build.


There are some areas that need tuning and some areas that need a look but at it foundation this is in a good state at its core. The current poe mindset is to just rush the campaign but this is not that. This needs to be played differently, if that's not for you and you just want poe 1 again that's fair enough I guess but giving feedback that this should just be POE ain't really it.

Have you heard of alts? It's quite common to have steam & PoE client simultaneously due to mules being a thing in the past. And besides that, I'm pretty sure there's selection bias. Anyway, PoE1 is better than PoE2, for all the reasons stated in OP and then some.

PoE2 made me want to go back to PoE1 after really, really long break in PoE1.

One is 12 years old, one is in early access, who would have thought poe 1 would be further along and far more polished?

POE2 was supposed to be an expansion to poe1 but then someone at GGG got the idea that they should make a worse version of the game and split it off.

In your opinion, thankfully yours isn't the only one.

Well howdy doo pardner, my opinion means more to me than yours and I think POE2 has less value than a crusty sock. My only consideration at this point is that they've taken effort and development time away from POE1 to make this dumpsterfire and I want to spread those feelings around.

Get back to me when u fight the filthy boss as they gave me a lot of trouble


Completed story (first time). Ice sorceress is not a great mapper, but very efficient bosser, with 1800 ES at levels 40-45 its irrelevant what bosses do, unless you get hit by each and every attack. Comet with frost wall solves dps issues and you can do bossing deathless at first attempt.

No idea how did you hit a wall there when you're the "40 challenges guy" and I am just a noob who constantly gets insulted by elitists here for repeatedly suggesting GGG to care about someone besides the latter:)
...sad but true..

I hit a wall cause my best dps is frost bombing and spamming ice nova as no other ice spells I have hit anywhere near as hard. Bosses like the filthy take minutes to kill where any attack does like 60% of my hp and big combos one hit me
One cannot help but wonder how such a lust for loot can affect a persons mind. Although these exiles appear to be our salvation, it would not take much for them to turn on us as easily as they fight gods and demons.

List of POE1 complaints that are the main features of POE2



private profile telling me to play D4 when im giving feedback that im glad POE1 is separate

/ignore



Private profile? I didn't even know my profile is private. Is my opinion less valid than yours somehow? Didn't I pay for POE2 early access? But that's exactly the issue with sharing forums with the original game.
