Path of Exile 2 is peak innovation

Yes I agree. Strongboxes are so much fun when you can have a pause in your game and make dinner for your family, go out with dog and then come back just in time to find those mobs hiding in smoke. Ofcourse when you are done on-death effects will get you while you are looting.

One more thing i forgot to mention, is that the frequency of updates is what really separates a true masterpiece like Path of Exile 2 from the rest of the pack.
Generally with this type of release, you would have to download files day to day, update game and its launcher 5 times per day.
Nothing like this with Path of Exile 2.
You just login.
And as a man with a job and a family i can really appreciate Grinding Gear Games respecting my free time like this.

Btw, didn't devs say during launch settlers of kalguur, that in poe2 we will start in it, and its important how much it was upgraded?

This has absolutely got to be satire. Everything in POE2 is in POE1, just watered down and ramped up in tedium, difficulty, and inconvenience.

Of course it’s satire. I mean, I also like cooking dinner while I wait for strongboxes to spawn mobs.

That made me chuckle . Lockboxes freezing you when it takes 20s for the first pack to be spawned is peak comedy .

Nice to see a positive post.

I agree, so much cool new stuff. Hoping they're working on some unique item mods and crafting elements now that they have the foundations online to top it all off and I will have very little more complaints about the game.

Holy shit pahahaha, diod it really go over your head?

What an incredibly uninformed and low iq comment.

Hey don't get upset at OP when Jon was the one that said he wants this game to be genre redefining and the best ARPG on the market. Be angry at Jon and his crew for fluffing up a bunch of recycled features as new and shiny. OP is just calling them out. The only thing "new" about this game is literally just the dodge roll. That's 100% it.

EDIT: Okay and crossbows. 2 things.
EDIT EDIT: Yes yes of course EA only has a limited amount of stuff.

1. Which arpg is currently better in the market?

2. New campaign, new ascendancies, new skills, new weapon types, new ascendancy system, new atlas system, tower mechanics, runes, new pinnacle boss, charms, dodge rolling, weapon set skill points, new skill tree, new atlas skill tree, new essences, new armor and weapon bases, new maps,

Yes your right, its only the dodge roll.....

PoE 1 is definitely better by a large margin, and i could argue Last Epoch in general is a better game too if we forget about their massively lacking endgame.

Right? I tought it was just me or something, everytime i open a Strongbox that freezes me i go like, wow, this is useless, it´s like they just threw stuff there for the sake of it.

To be fair the joke would go over the head of someone that didn't actually play the game they're in the forum of.

The negative ones are only from ppl who can't let go from PoE1 anyways.

Its actually like the Linkin Park fanbase - half of the fans don't understand that Emily Armstrong is the beginning of a new Linkin Park and not the replacement for Chester Bennington *sigh ...

Be open to different and new things guys - the old brew is not always the best brew. ^^

I think the endgame in POE 2 sucks big time and is actually pretty similar to the LE borefest of Monolith grinding.

I've played now 280hours (to be fair, I stopped maps for a while to grind Act 2 trials for currency) and have yet to see a single citadel. No bosses on my maps, I have yet to complete a single(!) delirium or breach stone. Also, the game is generally not that bad, it's just some really insanely idiotic design decisions, which are truly baffling

But iTs eArLy aCcSessssssS

Yeah, you know, POE 1 solved these problems with the Atlas YEARS ago. You could do content you like on a regular basis. Now it's rng on rng on rng on rng + a big addition of the maximum waste of time in each an every mechanic

Oh, people don't like Ultimatum in POE 1? Lets force them to do it and also replace the loot with unusable corrupted crappy yellows imaginable. What can we do more to make it more "challenging"? Sure, lets introduce some awfully long pasaages beween the trial parts, door animations and NPC scenes so people can enjoy the slower gameplay.Plus some afflictions which basically are unavoidable so you can just cancel the trail in an instant. And so people actually dont get their points that easy, lets add ANOTHER random bs drop so people have to do multiple runs (or buy that crap from the market) to have a shot at their acendancy points)

also, lets do really BIG maps, were you have to kill all yellows and have players backtrack over a whole empty map all the time because they oversaw some random yellow in some corner.

But I'm sure this will be totally addressed before they nerf anything what makes this crap bearable like ES, spark, minions ect. into the ground
