I played poe from Harvest and today is my last day. Ive done. I want play hack and slash/arpg, no goddamn bugged souls. 10% of players like this type of gaming and yes - ggg stays with them. Its literally the most stupid approach.
Yes, Diablo 4 is atm better game than poe 2. Good Job GGG, one of the worst arpg's in the world is better than poe 2. And you made poe 1 - the best arpg in the world. Thats all from me.

+1, yeah so far poe2 feels like a knock off of poe 1 that picked alot of negatives from poe 1 while adding even more junk to the game that limits player agency. Skill gems tied to weapons and the limiting of multiple support gems is just a step backwards to a class system like diablo 4, not to metion the current passive tree is just filled with boring percentage stat nodes, which feels like a reskin of diablo 4 paragon board.

And before people starts telling me how PoE 1 is still available ill tell something:

1 - We asked for a modern (graphical fidelity, animations etc) update for PoE 1 for a long time, why should we get the end of the stick?

2 - If anyone thinks PoE 1 will still get the same support as before they are delusional, they already said no more new 3 month leagues, it will be 1 new then 1 old, and that´s just the start, in no time PoE 1 will be left in the dust.

3 - They will make sure PoE 1 doesnt compete with the new game to try and make the investment worth.

100% poe1 development has been impacted for years with many broken promises as a direct result of poe2 being developed and theres no real guarantee poe1 stays getting developed. it's fully within poe1 players rights to want poe2 to be closer to poe1

I doubt that the development of POE1 can continue alongside POE2 without impacting its quality; it would be economically unsustainable.
I hope I’m wrong.

if you want poe1 go play poe1.
if you want Dark Soul go play Dark Soul.
If you want poe2 go play poe2.
If you want a hard game go play a hard game.
If you want an easy game go play an easy game.

If you don't like poe2 but somehow most people like it. Maybe not ruin our fun, and go play something you like.

How do you know most people like to when the forums are clealry showing people dont?

The hype week is over, between now and janauray reality will set in and peopel will just move on to soemthing esle.

This seems a great idea if GGG can pull it off.

Clearly there are 2 sets of players. Give them 2 options. Normal and Difficult.

People who have fun with slow progression and speed, want to invest 10+ hours or more, like mechanical game play, want to fight bosses repeatedly, learn and excel, feel the excitement/rush after fighting n number of times either a boss or sanctum or ultimatum and finally overcoming the challenge can play Difficulty Level.

People who want faster progression and speed, have lesser time to invest, want to play several classes/characters/builds, kill and loot, try to farm currency fast and make a super dps build and then play with it can have Normal Difficulty.

Why should one fanbase not allow the other to have the option of a game they want to play?

"lso why do we need games to be a "skill level check" and why does the only skill in the game are reflexes? I mean in PoE2 being able to dodge roll everything is more important than ANYTHING else... your build doesn't even matter compared to your dodge roll..."

100%
In POE1 you could build a dodgy character if you wanted to but you could build a face tank character too. I like to build and play Face tank.

You cant in POE2.

What is stupid is we were told it was a POE-Like game and we got a Diablo/Souls-Like game with a POE skin.

I swear sometimes it seems GGG is very disconnected from the players and from what a game good.

Splitting up the community is generally a bad thing imo..

They can't please everyone, they ruined poe1 for me over the years, i love this slower pace game play.

It's tragic to see the community destroy itself over this. An easy mode would not interfere with boring mode but the newcomers hate PoE1 players so much that they prefer the game to fail that to give us what we need to play.

The ball is in GGG's camp but I honestly think it's too late to save the community. Loads of long term players are/will leave(ing) and most new players will too within a few months as boring mode has no returning value.

Anyone else wishes they kept their original word from 5 years ago?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcd9BfVw7hQ

We would have PoE1 with nice graphics by now...

Well, Souls game might be popular with a very niche crowd

What? Elden Ring is one of the most popular games ever.

Splitting the community is better than having only half the community. There are thousands of PoE1 players wanting to play right now, but just don't have the will to drag themselves through this 'game'.

Why does PoE1 fanbase refuse to let us have fun with this game?
