PoE 2 Is For Tourists
It really does feel like a "streamerbait" game.

90% of these people blindly praising the game and rejecting all forms of criticism will play this game for 40-60 hours max and never touch it again, moving onto the next IP in a couple of weeks.

" 100% People are following a twitch meta, playing part of act 1, and then leaving a six hour steam review about how wonderful the game is. Retention won't even last through early access, let alone seasonal content after the game comes out. It's good for the studio they made significant revenue now, as without major revisions to core ideas the game will have shorter legs than Diablo 4 | |
Do you guys just want PoE 1 with updated graphics?

" You must be getting some crazy RNG. I'm at lvl 61 and I got 0 uniques, most of the rares I get are for str/dex classes and I'm playing sorc. Loot feels unrewarding, I'm still using a lvl 36 staff that I crafted somewhere in act 2. I've been picking up every single white ring/amulet in an attempt to craft some upgrades but keep getting crap. It does remind me of D3 launch and how bad the original loot was. |

" Ideally, yes. I didn't expect it to be that, but yeah I would have loved that. Full auction house, update graphics, add/change some bosses with annoying monologues and stall phases, delete labs. All I wanted to see. That was never realistic though, and I didn't go in expecting that. I just didn't think they would dumb it down to where once you understand it things become simpler than Diablo 4 and yet also constipate gameplay into a nearly impossible to enjoy slog with no rewards payoff at all. Hope you enjoy grinding slower than ever before, because all crafting is RNG which is just ground loot with extra steps lol Boss fights are cool though. So I guess there's that. | |
"No, but I certainly did not want the complete opposite of everything that makes PoE1 great. |

" What pisses me off is ZiZ and Tri are claiming that its the best game they've ever played. And they couldnt be happier with the current state of the game. Theyre such sellouts. |

" They can't be seen to be critical when they are hosting sponsored streams can they. Their brand is their business; is their livelihood. Give it a few months for the dick riders to go to the next game. Till then I am peace out on the forums. This post was sponsored by me.
