Path of Exile 1 is my favorite video game of all time.

PoE1 isn't going anywhere, so those who love it, have it.
PoE2 is a different game that apeals to some of PoE1 player base (X%) and to people for whom the PoE1 is too fast or just want a different game. That is a good thing.


the problem is, endgame breach and delirium is all about clearspeed. if you want it slow, thats totally fine. but you will get nothing with being slow
While i understand poe1 is still around for the people who dont like poe2.

When was the last poe1 league start? You have nothing to play if you prefer poe1 right now. Ive completed all content in sctrade and hcssf that i care to do there. its been a hot minute since we had a league start.

It may go back on rotation properly soon but i just hope we dont see another 6 month poe1 league because of poe2 1.0
I loved PoE1, until it started to become a parody of itself in the last couple of years. I like PoE2 way better already, and it's version 0.1.

Stop equating yourself to the entire PoE fanbase. You should look up the 'true scotsman' fallacy.

And I have to say; once again, PoE elitists are showing in these responses that they are emotionally immature to say the least. The biggest mistake GGG made was to expect that people who poured thousands of hours into PoE were mentally stable enough to deal with the fact the PoE2 was always gonna be a (slightly) different game.

PoE 1 fans are allowed to think poe 2 is trash. Fact.
PoE 1 is the best. PoE 2 is something.

Yep.

Then why do I hate poe2?
I just cannot find 1 moment of fun in it. It's just a chore game where you have no control over your deaths. Truly breaks my heart.
Did my best to find some joy here but failed. 91 Deadeye. Logged in for the first time in a week today. Just cannot do it.

This goes down as the biggest let down in my 42 years of life. I hope to see so many changes that I know it's impossible for this game to be in a place I like it. I think that is what hurts the most. This isn't a game for poe1 players. It's a game for people who want to die a lot and find that reward. Not PoE1 fan base at all.


Sadly..I agree..

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


Facts.
I massively enjoyed the first three acts.

After that it feels like I'm done with the game.
Forced two builds into late maps just to see if it got better. It really didn't.

Can't wait for the next POE1 league to drop.

This game seems to be years away from anything remotely as good as the first.
Most aspects of the game is a downgrade.
Graphics and sound, as well as most of the bosses are great. The rest?
A clear downgrade.
It's hard not to see-saw between being a doomer and enjoying what poe2 improves upon. Unfortunately the more hours you play, the worse it gets. It's honestly baffling this game is in the state it's in for EA when there were multiple betas to test these systems and they seem like the worst they could possibly be in so many areas. It feels like every time I boot up the game I find a system that was solved in the original pop back up and I wonder WHY IS THIS HERE AGAIN?!?!

And then they delay the game just long enough to go on holiday so they can't deploy rapid fixes that poe 1 got during open beta. Why not just delay longer if you have such a jank product?! I know this is EA but it just feels bad to play and won't be changing for another 2-3 weeks.

I have less control over my deaths in poe2 than I do in poe1, mostly because I have a decade of knowledge on poe1. I have a strong feeling both will land in the exact same unfair one-shots being once a day eventually.

As for complaining about early access, anyone playing paid for the access. Paid product which I cannot complain about is just top tier corporate butt licking and that has to be shunned until people learn that nothing changes without asking for it - hopefully politely and in a coherent manner if that is received by the target.
