It depends on what you want out of an arpg.
if you want to feel strong and fast and feel like a god then poe2 wins, if you want slower more thought provoking gameplay minute by minute then poe2 is your game

I like to go fast and play lazy builds like autobombers that delete maps at a time, i don't think thats in GGG's "vision" for poe2


so for me i'm done with poe2 and just in the poe1 waiting room rn

Doesnt sound like you played POE 2... Lots of builds are just brain-off map blasters. Im running around with 70% move speed on my ranger doing maps in like 60 seconds (3 minutes or so if theres a breach). I delete entire screens with a single skill, and that one skill is the only skill used outside of bossing.

Theres also spark, monk, and more that are doing the same...

You know, I got to a similar point as well, but then I went back to one of my old characters and just ran some PoE1 stuff and it put a huge smile on my face.

It was like I got used to moving slowly, getting pushed around if anything managed to get close, dropping nothing, etc...

Playing just 10 minutes of PoE 1 really drove home how deficient the PoE 2 endgame is.

I think that even if they make major fixes and changes I will always prefer original PoE. I don't think they can make it as fun with the plodding pace and simplified everything of PoE 2.

"Crafting" and endgame is so dogshit on PoE2 that if nothing changes drastically, it will be dead faster than Kalandra league.

I am VERY tempted to reinstall PoE1 even though I am absolutely sick of the campaign.

I may prefer PoE because the Trials of Sekema and Trials of Chaos, which are the means to obtain Ascendancy, are garbage, and the action element of avoiding enemy attacks is added, making it difficult to play. However, PoE2 is easier to play in terms of skills and sockets. If they improve the first-time kill and Trials of Sekema to make PoE2 easier to play and increase the number of people, including ARPG beginners, I would welcome it and play PoE2.

Yea, that exists and people do it. I didn't want poe2 to be that, at least not after JR talked how it won't be as bad.

It is the same, but with worse crafting, worse atlas, worse mapping experience and massively upgraded game feel because of WASD.

Nice bait.

I'll gladly go back to PoE1 when they stop neglecting it. 2 was fine for a first playthrough. I'll probably give the finished campaign some attention, but crafting literally doesn't exist and the thought of returning for Leagues with how slow it is just makes me wanna take a nap.

I just need WASD into PoE 1 and I'll never look back into this mess of a ''new game''

Nope.

TR/CA and Exsanguinate/Seismic traps are a million times more enjoyable than any skill I've played in PoE 2.
