Path of Exile 1 is my favorite video game of all time.
" PoE1 is not the same as it was prior to PoE2 taking the brunt of resources and development. This idea that PoE1 hasn't massively suffered at the hands of PoE2 is not correct. It has, and every likelyhood is that it will continue to do so. The very few things that have ported from 2 to 1 have, in my opinion, been net negative to the game, and the timespans of updates have been decimated. People copped it because PoE2 was on the horizon; now it's here and it's not at all what we want. Why would I give them more money now? It's not going to the game I like anymore; in fact, it's being used at the EXPENSE of the game I like. |

Holy people don't want to waste their life clicking zdps with no knowledge? Who could have guessed? You're willfully ignorant if you're not playing the current meta even as a new player. The game is so vast and long, to brick feels bad. Game bad GGG bad saved 30 bucks never give GGG money

" Exactly my thoughts. PoE2 is an incompetent, money-grab knock-off of PoE1 made by developers who never understood what made PoE1 good in the first place. A bunch of fake nerds coming up with bad ideas that they all get overly exuberant over and then implement without anyone of wisdom and experience in the room to analyze them and shoot them down. It feels hollow, and pointless, and disappointing. It feels like GGG just didn't have any real vision for the game other than to make another game. And it feels like it's intentionally designed to waste the player's time with needless repetition and bloat, and artificial difficulty (scarcity, size of zones, smallness of map discovery radius, gambling instead of crafting, loot loss on death, monster respawn on death, loss of map on a single death, etc.) Edit to add: Holy crap, a mod edited my post to remove the incompetent knock-off portion, but left the comment I quoted alone, and told me "I have edited your post as the removed content was considered needlessly negative." Are you kidding me? Don't like what I'm saying? Then don't develop an incompetent, money-grab knock-off with terrible design decisions which are anti-player and anti-fun. Don't go editing people's posts to take away their complaints. Especially when you can't even be consistent in it, and don't even do anything about the quote within the post which says THE EXACT SAME THING YOU CONSIDERED OVER THE LINE. So. Yes. I returned my post to its original format. You guys are REALLY making me never want to touch your games again. And I've been playing PoE since its early days, with ZERO strikes against my account. Never reported. Never toxic. And I've spent around $300 on it in that timeframe. But if you keep up with this kind of crap, never again. Never another penny.

The worst thing is, I love WASD in PoE 2 and now I can't even go back to PoE 1... Everything around PoE 2 breathes "You can't have nice things", it's about to push me in a gaming depression.

" 100% agree that this game is set up to waste our time. They think by wasting our time we will be logged in to spend more. In fact I am now logged in NEVER because this game is a waste of time. PoE 1 is the best. PoE 2 is something.

" Exactly, when a game disrespects your time and wastes tens of hours of it the average person will just quit and find a different game that actually cares about your time investment. PoE 2 atm has so many design decisions in it that feel like they're intentionally trying to waste your time, as a cheap way of inflating playtime statistics. Tired of this kind of stuff in MMO games, and I ain't putting up with it in an arpg either lol Until they remove their archaic death penalties that belong in the year 2000, I ain't coming back. |

At this point just gotta accept they came up with this stupid game to bait new players scared of PoE1 with the tons of systems stacked over the years.
There's nothing meaninful here. GGG just needed new cows to milk. And yes PoE1 will suffer from it |

" We're suffering right now, we should be in a new poe1 league with a game that has crafting and fun in it. PoE 1 is the best. PoE 2 is something.

There's plenty of issues for poe 2 but I feel like your complaints are a bit exagerated. If there's a game where you have no controls over your death, it has to be poe1, it's a shitshow, rare essence mob in a t4 maps have more hp than the shaper and does just as much damage.
For build diversity, that's true, there's barely none right now, however, despite me not liking poe 2, it feels like a bad complaint right now. It's an early access where there missing 1 ascendancies on released classes, half the classes are missing. Even released weapons having missing skills and half of them aren't out yet. It feels cheap to attack the game on that aspect. One thing that bothers me and it seems to be a pattern is that now builds feels like, you setup something then you make it go boom. Gas grenade into boom, gas arrow into boom, minion gas arrow into boom, storm arrow into boom, ice walls into boom etc... or it's a proc everything through a cast on something. I wish they would find more diverse ways of playing but let's see |
