You have alienated your own playerbase

The incredible variety of takes on this Early Access release is really going to make it difficult for GGG to respond with universally accepted changes...

But there are a number of issues that we all seem to agree on. Those should probably take precedence in the developer's minds.

The balance is good, meaningful gameplay within an hour, not 5-10 trivial and boring hours later like POE 1.

Just be patient, guides will come out soon you can follow to trivialise the game.

Also dieng 7 times in a zone is a strong and clear indicator you are doing something wrong, there are tens of thousands of players in HCSSF into and past Act 3. Think through the mechanics, use all the tools at your disposal, understand how defences work and get comfortable with dodge roll.



Stop lying, there arent those players in HCSSF past act 3, not even close to 10% of that, game balance is shit, ive been playing PoE 1 and hard games all my life for over 30 years, the game is a mess, it´s the most urewarding pile of trash ive ever seen, im on maps atm, campaign was a slog, fixing gear problems was nearly impossible without spending hours waiting for anything decent to drop/craft, currency is non existant besides transmutations and augmentations, and even those are not that abundant, trials are overtuned, and now that i reache dmaps in hopes for it to be better, it is not, bringing 1 rare from a full map clear is cancer, and the maps are massive and slow to clear, stop with the effing copium, the game is frustrating and good luck getting people to come back to this slog every 3 months, will not happen, i know i will not be here for it and will quit both PoE´s all together after being a customer for 12 years.

we knew poe 2 isn't made for poe 1 audiences, why are you complaining? why the hell would they make 2 games for the same people LOL


I guess people got confused by.. geee... might it be the name? No, that couldn't be it. How stupid to expect Path of Exile 2 from a game called Path of Exile 2, right?

How stupid indeed to expect Path of Exile from a game called Path of Exile 2.

That "2" is there for a reason. It's clear-cut designation that it's not the same game as its predecessor.

why do you think every dev, every streamer, every content creator, every single person who tested the game has stated billions of times that poe 2 is going to be nothing like what poe 1 has become over the years?

the game is simply what path of exile used to be, but with some polish and QoL. nothing more

poe 1 is a terrible game, which was ruined by the community and they're fixing that mistake. just let them

I spent almost 13 hours inside the acts... and I'm not feeling it. Sadly. But to say "Ohh go back to poe1, if you like it so much", I mean yeah? That's fine, but there hasn't been a new league there because they took all the resources and dumped them into this game. So now I'm sitting here, not knowing what to do. I AM done with the PoE1 league and PoE2 is the biggest borefest to me.

Also people, don't forget, do you really think that PoE1 is gonna be supported for that much longer? Once they know that PoE2 is the bigger income (if that even happens) they will either shut down the first game or keep it alive on life support.

This been said many times that POE2 wont be liked by majority of POE1 , its same theme but different game. I love it more even tho its EA with loads of bugs, OP, or out of balance, yet as for EA its just perfect for my casual arse to enjoy it.

Serious cope here. Game is simply a bad sequel. I do not want to spend 20 minutes fighting an act boss, and I don't want death to make me waste 10 minutes of walking to the boss, in an area where it's possible to die 5-10 times.

If I wanted that kind of gameplay, games like Elden Ring, or even older darksouls, do it far better than anything POE can approach. I play POE for a top down ARPG, not a sweaty souls like. Some might enjoy that kind of game, sure, but I don't think it's a good sequel to what POE1 was.

There's a reason "Ruthless mode" never really took off, no one wanted that kind of game out of POE. Shame that the developers can't seem to see past their ego when it comes to that. At least they wont discontinue POE1 for a while.


You can be sure PoE 1 will not get the same support as it had before, and after seeing the new graphics, animations and some things they actually improved i dont even have the will to play PoE 1 too anymore after 12 years, i will just quit both games and play something else, unless they fix this urewarding pile of trash, whats killing the game is the massive loot scarcity.

Don't worry, there are other instant gratification ARPG games, like Diablo 4 or Flop Epoch.

You can love it, but the masses won’t play it as its gear towards a very select type of player from start to finish. Soul’s people won’t play it because they have souls’ games, ARPG players won’t play it because it’s not fast enough.

If they don’t change it they are done.
