but we knew about this for literally years?

it has been stated hundreds of times that poe 2 is for a different audience and not for people who enjoy poe 1

why are people so surprised?

anyway, I think poe 2 is easier than poe 1 if you can use your hands effectively


Because they said it was going to be more casual friendly? They dumbed down a lot of system to be more inclusive to new players.

It's fine if you like it, It's just not for me (and quite a few others).

You severely misunderstood. They didn't dumb down any system.

Making something more accessible, does not include dumbing it down. There were strange and esoteric systems and interactions in PoE1, with many essentially hidden systems, that required outside research or prior knowledge, etc etc. Chief among them being exactly how crafting worked and how to get gems to interact properly with each other. Putting these systems in a more structured space that guides new players (stowing away depth and detail without obfuscating it) is what they tried and succeeded doing. Dumbing things down was never on the table.
Its for streamers...

Answering your question: It is game for people that like this type of game, but without zoom zoom combat.

There are 2 things, one is combat difficulty and another is build depth. This is game for people who want both, there is no such game in the market right now except Poe 2.

I personally love this, and it's not garbage just because you hate the taste of it.

This is how innovation looks like, most don't understand it at first. Why do you want to revert this, instead of respecting the design and going back to play other games?

As you can probably understand now, for people like me you just sound absurd, their reputation is better than ever right now.


its bad ! it has path of exile name on it dont you see ??? do you play even poe 1 ? so imagine elden ring 2 comes out and it's not souls like game ..

I didn't misunderstood anything?

You are clearly saying they dumbed things down / made it more intuitive to players so we don't have to rely on PoB or CoE anymore, which I don't mind at all.

However, the Ruthless difficulty / loot was not what I was expecting. I'm not saying the game is bad because of that, I'm just saying it's not for me. Also, experience from Ruthless in PoE1 seems to point that it's not most ppl cup of tea either.

So who is it for? ^^

The masses won’t like it as its not designed for the masses, and in 2024 where people don’t have as much time and money, this game will be done before it launches.

Now they are free to make it a souls game but it the majority won’t play it who like ARPGS and the majority of Elden Ring players wont play it because it’s not a 3rd person souls game.

They are done if they don’t make changes.

oh and their reputation is being trashed on here and social media right now.

I am so glad you are completely wrong. I'd be worried if any of this was true!
