What aspects of the game are actually an improvement over poe1?

PoE1: You stand still in the middle of 1000 mobs attacking, not caring, 99% of the time you take 0 damage, 1% of the time you get 1-shot.

PoE2: You actively predict and dodge enemy attacks. You dodge skillfully, you survive. You fail, you take damage, or die.

Graphics. Otherwise nada.

If you play Deadeye nothing changed to be honest

If only the late-game continued to be that...

What you described isn't PoE 2 end game at all. It's kill first or die META just like PoE 1.

Oh my, this isn't true. I play non-meta builds. Ofc they are not effective as meta build. But they are viable, playable and enjoyable. Stop with this "meta or nothing" nonsense.

oh my this isnt true

* Boss gameplay - vastly superior to PoE 1 bosses. Too bad in endgame bosses get completely drowned in power creep.

* WASD (I don't use it, but people say its nice)

* Controller (ditto)

* Dodge roll - it equalizes movement across players, but unfortunately then GGG introduces power creep that only some people can use in form of blink. lol

* Tiered rare loot (needs to be expanded, 10+ tiers and start dropping in campaign)

It seems GGG is proficient in introducing good mechanics, but also self-defeating those good mechanics ;)
