This game is having an identity crisis, it doesn't know what it wants to be.

And the "crafting system" is just gacha with extra steps. Everything is just a worse,simplified version of PoE 1 mechanics. Passive tree is uninspired,too big and you waste too many travel nodes to get anywhere, no %life on it??,no masteries,all attributes in the game cut in half for some reason while requirements for gear and gems are still sky-high. Even stuff like Sanctum is just worse lol, worse rewards on it with a worse gameplay loop.

Areas being too large,radius at which you can see minimap icons feels reduced compared to PoE 1 which leads to aimless wandering in campaign/maps looking for your objective.

And some of the biggest problems are ofc how the game blatantly disrespects the player's time and has seemingly un-learned all the player agency that PoE 1 gives you. The one death per endgame area is by far the worst offender for bad game design in this game, it will push so many players away(if they didn't quit at a campaign boss that is).

And crafting being a complete meme is another big problem, no more deterministic tools for you I guess, have fun yolo slamming every item lmao(what you're really doing is pulling a slot machine lever though)



seems your only goal atm is clapping to every new the game is bad thread.

People are pissed off, as they should be. Many people spent money on the development of the game, where the money went towards something nobody wanted. On top of that, there are complete bullshit stories being told by the devs that have no basis in reality.

100% agree. This is a game the fans didn't want. We wanted a BETTER PoE1. Not whatever this thing is.


PoE 2 was never marketed about being a PoE 1 HD Remake . They always said they were going a different route with the new installment . Get a grip .

Wrong, it was originally revealed as a 4.0 expansion to PoE 1 during Exilecon 2019. The plan for the 2 games to be seperate was only made official recently. People feel scammed and betrayed, rightfully so.

If you did even a bit of research, you'd know this.

So why endgame is literally PoE1 just worse?

They also ignored several conventions blizzard made a decade ago that worked. Full random chance of equipment drops for classes other than your own to encourage trading and using the outside website is terrible. MF and light radius on equipment is a waste of everyone's time. Being unable to control affixes and suffixes when rolling is terrible. Having all of this useless junk without at least one currency tab and a gem tab on new accounts is terrible. Locking skills to weapons, most of which are 2 handed, is terrible. Having to farm and cut gems to into a mock skill systems and then store those items in the stash instead of just using skill points granted per level that are infinitely refundable is terrible. Charging a ton of in game currency to respec is terrible.

They've managed to make the game almost completely unapproachable for someone that wants to engage with their revolutionary gameplay, awesome enemies, and bosses without several deep dives into their systems. Also, forcing autoaim on mouse users is a tragedy.

This is, in fact, incorrect. For years we were under the impression that PoE2 would be new character rigs and a new campaign. Essentially a graphical overhaul with a new story to freshen things up.

Then we were blindsided when GGG decided to shove "the vision" down everyones' throats after milking supporter money. The fact that we were notified a couple of years ago that PoE2 would be a new game doesn't mitigate the years that we were under the impression that it wouldn't, and paid for that.
Love the games. PoE1 way more so than PoE2, but still enjoying both.

Hate the company. The scummy, lying, fake and shitty facade, the excuses, the failures, and most of all, the "Vision".

Keep both of those in mind when reading my posts.
