What a fun thread.
And as much as it disappoints you it starts to feel more like poe1 quite quickly.
I do think that is by design, why else would there be delirium and breach or even ritual?
I also think the long drawn out dark soulsy fights dont fit this genre that well and to get that discussion out of the way i do like souls games but i also think most of them arent as hard as they are made out to be.

There is more irony in this as well, GGG want a different game but they go putting POE1 content into the end game already and making it look pretty much like POE1, as well as just using old POE1 content as filler for ascendency trials. Maybe this is just temporary of course and to just give people something to do for the time being in end game for those who need it so badly.

The other irony in all this and that I want to mention is that 'original' POE was difficult and slow, before the game become clogged up with endless content, pre ascendency boss fights did take a lot of time, skill and thinking to work out. Go back 10 years and watch Havoc doing the first Uber Atziri kill and how long the process takes, doing bosses and juiced up map bosses always felt a great challenge and took time back then. POE2 already seems beyond this, people are crushing content and bosses like modern POE1.

So why can't GGG get the balance right? I would think POE2 should resemble POE1 in the early years but it doesn't already, maybe because people just know how to optimise so well due to so much experience and there is so much more shared content and knowledge.

I'm so tired of this one, Just make multiple difficulty modes.

-Easy Mode(slightly less loot)
revives in all content including labs(exp too? idk)

-Standard(default loot)
revives in maps only(costs something? exp/an item?)

-Hard Mode(second best loot)
no revives at all period, more exp is lost than usual

-Hardcore(best loot)
character is literally deleted upon death


Or do something else, But don't make this out to be a side vs side thing, we are all in the same boat here.

+1 to op. POE1 vets are being replaced and this is them attempting to fight back. They will state they know how GGG works. They implement mechanics the dev team want and their vision for the game moving forward. The community hates it. They complain and whine constantly. Then the dev's revert those changes. They are complaining and whining endlessly on these forums in an attempt to get the devs to make the game the way they want it.

I hope the devs do not cave in.

If GGG wanted to replace the core community of PoE, they would have called this something other than "PoE2". The fact is they needed the vets to buy into this before the hype train came rolling in with no regard to the community and its culture, and they still need them to sustain the game model. Like people have pointed out, once the initial hype subsides, its going to be the people who have proven again and again they are the fans that will be left holding the bag and having to wait even more for things to get fixed.

I.E- get over yourself and your replacement bologna.
