PoE 2 is a downgrade to PoE1

SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH ITS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE!

-Skilltree feels boring,not many options and your class gets funneled in one side of the tree feels really bad,as a witch for example you can only start pathing north even you start at the mid,why?

-Skillgems feel not good at all and you can only put one support gem each is super boring,poe1 was about freedom in poe2 there are way to many restrictions.

-How you get your ascendancy points is just a poe1 copy paste from sanctum and ultimatum and that feels very lame,you could have come up with whatever even a nice cool lab reskin but we got this instead.

-No crafting,using a transmution/augmentation into regal into triple ex slam is no crafting its called Gambling

-No vendor recipes

-No Alteration orbs

-No Tooltip on skills on your actionbar,why do i have to open 2 separate windows to check my stats? Gemcutting window "g" for skillstats critchance etc. and resist in character stats window "c" PoE1 had this all in one window and felt much better.

-Lose your drops on death,all enemys respawn = bad

-I miss leveling up my gems one by one,not the best system but it had player agency and this is what this game is missing alot

-Make a system like grim dawn where i can get my rune back or get my item back without the rune detroying the other vice versa

-Bloodmage Ascendency is no Ascendancy its a meme,your first 2 points are predetermined no player agency and if you put the 2nd point in your char is weaker than before,10% spell leech with only one instance of leech+leech resistance is underwhelming.
Blood orbs spawn in locations where you literally cant pick them up and the concept of constantly picking stuff up is just bland imo

-Sometimes i think the game doesnt know what it wants to be a dark souls argp or a poe1 sucessor,neither is the case at least for me,cause both games had one thing in common its called freedom and player choice

big agree with everything here esp gamba isnt crafting but just so you know you might get a bunch of noobs who dont even play poe2 come here and be like "wdym hard disagree"

Honestly the whole game is horrible atm with the new player experience. It barely explains anything to you at all and combined with bad UI design and stats either just not being shown anywhere or hidden behind a small arrow you need to click in the gems menu is convoluted.

Not to mention you still can't open the gemcutting menu with all the skills to browse them and plan out your next move, you have to click an uncut gem to open that menu which is insanity.


And this game was advertised as being more "new player friendly" in interviews. Well so far it's not looking good lol

Gamble was allways the most fun crafting method.
But im a gambler so im biased. I hate sitting in hideout crafting same item over and over.
But thats just me.
Cant please everyone. Good thing that theres gonna be two different poe games to choose from when this is out and they can work on both fulltime.
I like both and propably have to choose one of them season to season.

to add revine system in 2 man party is impossible

sure until they randomly decide to put poe1 in maintenance mode or worse cancel it in favor of poe2 like how back in exilecon 2019 they stated poe2 would be an expansion to poe1 more of the same now its a totally different game who knows what they will do in future

Agreed.

-The campaign is worse than PoE1 and almost every other ARPG, ranking second only to Last Epoch as the worst campaign.
