The Palpable and Uninformed Hate and Dismissal of POE1 Veterans Sounding the Alarm is Worrying

Can I ask you directly; how far into the endgame are you? And can you wholeheartedly say that you think the map layouts and map sizes are good for the game's longevity? And if so; why do you think that? What are they "adding to the game"?

Yes I think they should come out and state there intentions. It would relieve a lot of tension. And I hope they stand their ground. Most of the posts I see is people complaining that's why I'm making my voice heard so hopefully the devs will see that some people do like their original vision of the game.


And if they "stand their ground" on the game in its current state, most of the POE1 player base will either go back to POE1 or most likely just quit POE altogether, taking the millions of dollars they would have spent on MTX with them. Then on the first league reset they will lose most of the playerbase they have left who will throw a fit when their progress is wiped and they have to trudge through the mud again. The second league reset will finish the game and end the project. Meanwhile they will have moved resources off POE1 and people wont go back to that either.

That, sir, is how you kill a game legacy and a company.

He barely made it to maps in POE 1, I doubt he's even out of act 3 in POE 2 lmao

And FEW in ruthless have a destroy the map build.


The thing that kills me about all the posts we keep seeing regarding the "one button click" or "zoomy builds" is the fact that it takes time and work and planning, especially during league start, to get to that point. The average non- streamer isn't in a map wiping build on day one. Hell most of the time, people are building one character out to farm currency just so they can enable the funding of some of those uber builds.

Except that if youve played settlers trade ruthless - you wouldve never written anything of that. Its the CURRENT trade ruthless compared to CURRENT trade poe 2. The latter seems to be a step back.


Ruthless in Settlers league is a little less ruthless because you can farm currency offline basically. When I went back to my ruthless char after a week playing POE2, it felt pretty relaxing. And FEW in ruthless have a destroy the map build.


Well, because ruth have almost no endgame build and leveling build guides to follow, so its either someone is capable of coming up with stuff themself, or getting lucky, idk. The amount of builds that clear screens in poe2 is also not that big, and that number is dwindling on a daily basis.

But about scarcity - thats why I specifically said CURRENT.

This game as a play once through to endgame and its over is probably ... ok ish ... for the league mechanic it will be a nightmare. I predict if they reset the servers now they would lose half the people on the game and MOST of the trolls.

Time for a reset? :)


Oh I hope they do a new league reset whenever they put in some of the new classes lmao


I vote for DRUID !!!! Lets league reset NOW. :)

You managed to answer the first question. I guess we'll continue this another time.

Saying that PoE2 is even similar to ruthless is dishonest at best.


Pretty much and its people self snitching their knowledge on what ruthless even is as a game mode.

You dont get quad tabs full of loot in mapping from ruthless or multiple exalts, alchs, or anything like that.


You dont get to even choose your own gems lol


Its so telling on people saying that poe2 is ruthless, or even worse, people that THINK poe2 is

"
To be clear I said POE2 is WORSE than ruthless. Its Ruthless Squared


Shows how little knowledge or experience these players have with ruthless.

OP go read up or... actually play ruthless before using that term as you have no idea what you are talking about when you say POE2 is worse than ruthless


Except that if youve played settlers trade ruthless - you wouldve never written anything of that. Its the CURRENT trade ruthless compared to CURRENT trade poe 2. The latter seems to be a step back.


Thats hilarious now youre changing your argument

"oh no its not THAT ruthless its settlers ruthless"

Ok really quick how does that apply to gems being limited from vendors? It doesnt

Or your one movement skill that has no cd? It doesnt

Or vendors and their loot? It doesnt

Or gold drops? Especially since you will be wasting what little you get all on the city? It doesnt

You get utility flasks in POE2?

How about any ascendancy modifiers? Oh theres none in poe2? awwww


Educate yourself on ruthless before talking about it please. And definetely dont compare it to POE2 https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ruthless_mode

And it is YOU and those like you that GGG should rely upon for revenue for the next 10 years? Not the people that have been giving them that revenue but people who cant even finish the campaign in POE1 which takes even slow old me less than 1 day playtime to finish?

Yeah I hope GGG reads that comment right there.


I think you are vastly underestimating how many people PoE1 is pushing away in its current state lmao. PoE2 will allow GGG to tap both markets.


The people PoE1 is pushing away are also being pushed away by PoE2, lmfao. For literally the same reasons, but worse.

Even more reliance on trade.

Even tighter gear progression.

Even more punishing death penalty.

Even more 1-shot mechanics and on-death mechanics.
