PoE2 was made for manchild dad whom got traumatized by PoE1. They couldn't made a build, they couldn't equip a gem, they couldn't get pass the shore. They couldn't graps a single thing in this game.

So they made PoE2 so manchild won't have to make a build, chose a gem, chose what stuff to pick. There's no fun, no loot, no speed, no killing. So they can't do anything wrong. PoE2 is a bowling game where there is only the place for 1 pin and 1 bowling ball, you can only shoot straight and cannot miss.

I am having so much laugh reading the forums full of "use dodge" "I beat act1 boss so far don't see what you are talking about". This entire launch made me against freedom of speech.

uhm.. delusional. path of exile 1 is still free and playable. why make the same game twice?

Are you asking me why people expect for PoE2, sequel to PoE1, to be like PoE1?Do I have to tell you why we breath air? Please come eat sue side.
Or maybe I have to buy the next dark soul in hope to play a solid aRPG? Your mother should have kept her legs close.

everyone who dislikes poe 1?

poe 1 used to be good, but now it's a terrible game that's genuinely despised by the most, including me

i see that you're one of the "i need a sequel which is basically the same game but with better graphics" guys. grow up

For me. It's slow and visceral and should remain so. Change it and I'll bolt, same for most people I guess. Thankfully you are the vocal minority.

Actually, it was made for newbs and casuals. See, GGG realized that the first Path of Exile was bloated and its story is kinda tacked on. They made interview videos explaining this. They're still on YouTube.

The first game is also very, very complex, which is scaring off people from trying it. And a company wants more people to play it, to pay for their MTX (Which is how GGG makes money), so they change PoE2 from an expansion pack to a full on game.

Another thing they wanted to change was how to actually reach End Game for Path of Exile, you have to build specifically, you can't really experiment. Which led to the creation of programs like Path of Building, and GGG does not like this.

Ergo, Path of Exile 2 is meant for casuals and newbs. To be fair, and I need to remember this myself, this is Early Access. Yes, they're selling us MTX already which usually means it's a fully functional release, but it's not and it needs a lot of fine tuning.

Imagine calling the guys enjoying the "too hard" poe2 "casual and newbs" when you have barely gotten to 70, I can see why you guys complain so much.

It is made for people who don't like the mindless brain AFK/zoom-zoom/blow stuff up with a single click from 2 screens away gameplay of PoE 1 and want a slower, more deliberate and calculated, more streamlined and less bloated Path of Exile. It's that simple.

The fact that GGG even felt the need to make this game speaks volumes about the way the first part strayed from the initial vision they had for PoE, mostly because of the playerbase who kept wanting PoE to be more like Diablo 3 instead of letting it its own thing. GGG is at fault for going along (mostly) everything its players wanted because they didn't want to be labeled as "a developer who doesn't listen to feedback", even if that feedback was often downright stupid and taking the game further and further away from the path Chris & Co. had in mind for PoE.

So now that they decided to put in the time and resources to make basically a fork of Path of Exile for people who wanted a different Path of Exile game, stop trying to turn it into PoE 1 yet again. Play PoE 1, play Diablo, play Grim Dawn...just stop bitching about it not being PoE 1 because it's not meant to be it.

The game is still in early access, it's still rough, things still need tuning and will be tuned over time, it's not releasing for quite a while yet. It's like it's your first rodeo, damn it. Provide GGG with some actually useful feedback instead of "why is the game not like this or that"...FFS.

For everyone who is praising this amalgamation of whatever that is.

Do you know this game live and die by GaaS?

Are you willing to return every three months and go through the campaign again?

Are you willing to create numerous characters every three months?

If even one of the answers is no, then you have no idea what POE is really about.

You make no sense W/E, try to if you want to talk to me. Or come eat sue side. I don't talk with people pretending that having a sequel having nothing to do with the original game is normal. It changed genre. I'm so done with internet freaks, you are less than a dog I wish you could meet me, I would bash your skull for being so idiotic.

Every game that has been a success and classed as a great game always come to a point where their player base starts to fall off. They create expansions or sequels that half their player base dont align with, causing a decline very quickly in their playerbase. Poe 2 fans are split between people who want it 'bang your head against the wall annoyingly hard & boring' and those who expected a extension of what PoE 1 was. PoE 2 feels like a completely different game, and I personally don't like it. When you have to sit and force yourself to play a game it's no longer aligns with what you set out to do when playing a game in the first place. I don't play games to get frustrated and need to spend hours doing research just on character building, and nothing about the game is rewarding. The game is gender locked completely taking the RPG element away from it, the fact people that defend gender locking blows my mind. How does it have any impact on those who like being forced to play a certain sexed character? Why is giving someone the option to play male or female such a horrible idea? Thing is it's sheer laziness on the developers part. I'm sure they will down the line capitalize on it by giving people the option to pay to play a different sex it's just stupid and unfortunately they have lost lots of players who loved the first game. Eventually this game will be played by a few thousand players with their forced sex locked characters, on ruthless mode. Its the beginning of the end for the PoE name mark my words.

yes, I have done it in the past and will keep doing it for poe2, you guys are the only ones that think that if poe2 is not the same as poe1 it will fail, YOU didn't do what you wrote at all, you are complaining about something you don't even do, you are the one that has no idea.
