Thanks for trying GGG. After about 20k hours in POE 1, POE 2 just is not it.

As poe1 still exists and will get new content and leagues, no.

Poe2 was previously intended to be a poe1 expansion, so yes.

So will willfully ignore what the developer said and meant after the statement you use to make your point? They said years ago, that it will not be an expansion with shared endgame. So no, just no.

Poe 1 is ruined?
Odd..

I agree with the souls thing. POE1 has a lot of faults itself, but it was something you could enjoy casually while watching something else as well. And the player base of such players is much bigger I think than GGG realizes. Naturally, this triggers the some of the "I'm better than thou, hohoh Git Gud lulz" players, who can't read "casual" without throwing a fit and posting condescending oneliners to the forum, that add nothing to a sane discussion. But apparently, everything these days has to be soul like .. no idea why, POE1 didn't make so much money by being it .. maybe something for GGG to consider. It was enjoyable by casuals, but could still challenge the other bunch with the harder bosses. I hope POE2 gets tuned down a bit and can feel a bit more like a comfy cup of chocolate in winter again instead of a crazs rush fest. And I'm not someone who loves dieing to bosses 500 times first so you can have a hormone rush once beatin git (it's not at that stage yet it seem, I'm past act 1 wolfie, but who knows what lies before me).

I personally like the flow of the game. Most significant changes I would make is maybe 20% faster run speed, 50% higher drop rate, and make the enemies maybe 15% less spongey (at least early on).

Something like that.
