PoE 2 Is For Tourists
" Your consideration boils down to "This game should just be PoE1 with absolutely no changes whatsoever and anyone who disagrees is a tourist who will leave because they don't like the same things we like and we can't tolerate the idea of this game being for them, not for us." Have you considered that to the extent there are 'tourists' in this three day old game at all, you are the tourist? The player coming in with unrealistic expectations and demanding the game be altered to meet them? Play Path of Exile 2 as Path of Exile 2. Who the bloody hell cares about PoE1's loot levels or character power? This isn't PoE1. Go back to your own game, "tourist." She/Her

The saddest part of this is how the self-proclaimed veterans who love pointing out how new others are have to be told by those new people and "tourists" that the thing they're struggling with and finding "too difficult to play" isn't particularly difficult.
In no community ever before have I seen "veterans" priding themselves on struggling with a game casual players breeze through. It's usually the other way around lol Last edited by Fae_Lyth#6750 on Dec 9, 2024, 5:57:17 PM

Regarding endgame and predicting leagues, I can only imagine every league will be a crafting league, because else I don't see what the heck the reason for the endgame is.

"Stash tabs are one and done purchase, and even if you won't need them, PoE 2's existence was paid for years to come with just the early access. People who enjoy playing PoE 2 and continue playing it will buy supporter packs and cosmetics. Also stash tabs and cosmetics are usable in both games, so even if you're playing only one, you are supporting the existence of both games. Here's an actual food for thought for you. Why would GGG make PoE 2 more similar to PoE 1? If the games are sufficiently different, like they are now, they will attract different kinds of people, and this will be great for fans of either game, even someone who will play only PoE 1. But if PoE 2 gets too similar to PoE 1, the games will compete in the space for attention and cannibalize each other. |

" People like you are the root cause why many modern ARPG sucks. Games should be fun all the way, not some elitist crap like "spend 100h slogging through everything until you reach last 0.1% of the endgame content and THEN it's great!". The campaign should be the greatest part - that's what most people will play. If the endgame bragging right game is good, it's perfect. If not, people can still play through the game and have fun. Making games just for minority that likes to hang out until max level and perfect gear is simply a path to nowhere. For instance, that was the biggest factor why D4 is the most bland crap ever made - it's a game that has everything even slightly engaging hidden deep behind hours and hours of grind, while only the weakest and most bland parts are available for the first-time players. |

" Oh I doubt your characters were born before the turn of the century.. well before. Time. the same thing that everyone struggles with. I cannot devote enough time to the game. I get bored after about 90 ish and the end or red maps, the game gets super repetitive, and at that time, the question of "is this the best way to spend my time?" is generally, no, there are other more fun things to be doing right now. I don't need to define my self worth by digital pixels dude, so eat your heart out. Would feel bad to be worried about what people on the internet thought about my digital pixels. I literally use games as a thing to do to shift my brain into neutral for a bit. I work a stressful job that requires a million times the effort and brain power than POE does, games, of all kinds, are essentially digital fidget spinners to disengage my brain for a bit. I'm done buying anything until we get some clarity on the future of POE1 and POE2 and I know GGG plans to spend effort on a game I want to play.
Tell us if POE1 still has your top tier support or if POE2 will get a mode for more casual play. |

" Is POE2 going to be a league reset type game? The answer is yes. Where did I say "I want POE 1 please"? Your entire reply to me makes no sense. You made up my post in your head and responded to a make believe post. Im very confused. " Even the POE2 devs have said that people spend the vast majority of play time in end game. And the campaign here wasnt that fun, just slow. If slow = fun, then sure, but thats not the issue. You think people will play the campaign and quit? Those are the tourists were talking about. The actual game is end game. The majority of design and balance is all focused around the end game. The players who will spend the most money 1000% will be spending 95%+ of their time in end game. And saying D4 is designed around end game was a joke right? D4 has no end game lmfao. It is 100% designed around the "Play campaign and then everything sucks". My mind exploded reading that.

" But there is no crafting lol Get item > magic > 2 affix > regal > 3 exalt If you get something you don't want, start over. I just made a recipe for every piece of gear in the game. | |
" You are all over this forum and you have played one character to level 86 since freaking HARVEST LEAGUE... when you didn't finish the campaign. You are also either intentionally misunderstanding the issues people have with the game or you are incredibly dense. What are you even here for? |
