so what you are sayin is that once poe2 game comes full out there will be no poe1?

What is likely to happen is they cut back on new leagues and run repeats eventually getting to the point it is just repeat leagues and the game is on maintenance mode.

Ahh PoE1 my baby...

Give us PoE 1 !

Still has more players than diablo 4 and last epoch.

Last Epoch, yes it has more. D4? They are about even currently on the 30d active player, but D4 has the high concurrent currently.

it's only been a week. also, it's early access. not sure how that compares to anything

Its true, path of exile 2 currently has more people play it than people on marvel heroes and champions of norrath combined.

I am just so bummed that we dont have a december league for POE1, I always look forward to the holiday leagues and I got some nice time off and no travel this year but POE 2 is just not the kind of game I enjoy and definitely wont be playing a game I dont have fun with on my time off.

Super sad about the lack of a new fun POE 1 league

The last time they made us wait this long for a new league we got 3.0 out of it, so we'll see.

To be honest i actually enjoy poe 2. I have 15k + hours of poe 1 and i still like the game but to me poe 1 really started to feel kind of bloated in the later years and i was never really fan of the zoom zoom, giga juice meta. This type of playstyle only favors certain build types and unfortunatley not the builds i liked .
So many builds and meme chars got indirectly nerfed and obliterated by the constant balancing the endgame to fit the top performing zoom zoom blasters instead of balancing the builds themselves, this resulted in a power creep which only rewarded builds and skills that had an ez time scaling high defences and dps at the same time while other skills and builds simply cant scale this way because of how they function and the items and skill tree nodes u have to use to make them work at all. Totems for an example used to be a solid endgame build, now they are pretty much unplayable outside of sanctum or Zhp bossing unless u plan to use all 6 portals and die more times than u care to count, yeah u might be able to find 1 or 2 builds that kind of work but truth is back in the days almost anything could be taken to endgame with a bit of investment.

To me poe 1 was at its peak around 2016-17, back then anything worked to some extend or could be made to work and nothing was yet too broken (ele wander perhaps), today its more like follow the meta or die and forget all the stupid and funny builds cause they no longer work and definitely cant do endgame, Besides back then the game was not yet bloated with soo many league mechanichs,splinters,currencies and piles of useless crap that u feel is mandatory to pick up.

Yeah a lot of Bs here but i kind of like the new take and since i have played poe and followed the dev team through more than a decade now i know they will make poe 2 a lot better before the full release. They are dedicated and most of them gamers too + they are very well known for listening to the community when making decisions. I just hope its not going to be another zoom zoom, 1 button clear all screen poe 1 copy
