Take on "Ben's" feedback

Ben's overreacting had some ok points but lost it with
There is no hope silliness.

Did he play poe 1 at it's creation?

It's came a long way baby.

You know you can check the join date of peoples' accounts right?

Yes he did. His account was made in 2012.

I joined in 2013, and I remember Ben was already one of the best players (we still had race seasons at the time.)

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.
Other than his terrible editing skills (Let the video breath a half second after a jump cut, Boss!) he's correct on most of his assessment.

Too bad most of the other Streamers are GGG honeymooners. Most of them just started a few months ago, and GGG are masters of the hype. They don't know the amount of disappoint and failed promises that GGG hasn't even bother to try to live up to.

Yes, yes, I've never reached endgame myself, despite having played since 0.8c but that's because of my stubbornness to try and make my own builds work (They don't) or playing the new Leagues for a couple of weeks and then getting bored with how simplistic and pointless the mechanic is.

And who thought Crafting made sense in a Loot Based ARPG? Even in Diablo 2, the alleged GGG inspiration, the Runes ADDED to the well rolled RNG loot you FOUND.

Anyway, in the end, yes Ben is right about the state of the game. Tedious is a good word for PoE2.

Could it get better? I hope so. But I got suckered by the hype before (Looks at the PoE2 'melee' system...)
I agree with Ben in a lot.

The map layouts are just horrible! You simply can not deny that...
Having only one movement skill is ass. Being fast is fun and also mandatory if the maps are this gigantic!
Most Loot is inside breaches... also all endgame mechanics are worse then in PoE1.
Crafting? lmao

While Ben has some good points, I find myself agreeing more with Quin on this one.

If anything, it’s POE 1 that feels outdated, while POE 2 is clearly the future.

POE 1, while currently the best ARPG, suffers from dated graphics, clunky animations, and a lot of bloat. These issues aren’t likely to improve significantly at this point. On the other hand, POE 2 looks and plays like a modern game, with stunning visuals and smooth gameplay. Plus, it’s set to receive major updates and new content, which will only make it better over time.

Sry I triggered you about a simple question about your hero.
I saw poe one from Brutus being the boss. It changed a lot.
He's whole it's doom take is ridiculous 🙄

Imagine being some rando with such a hugely inflated ego that you think you can write a gigantic wall of text criticising the best PoE1 player to ever touch the game.

What a gigantic, worthless pile of slop.

Ben was right in every single thing he said. I'm still playing PoE2 btw, and will continue to do so as long as I have company. But there's no denying it's a significantly inferior game to the original.


Who cares if he has won races? PoE is a PvE game and the most difficult part is knowledge, not skill. Imagine glazing someone so hard that you agree with every single thing he says.

I also don't understand searching for the last rare. If you use the right strategy for each map (some are slightly different), you will explore it 100% on your first go. Skill issue.

I agree with him there should be more map bosses though.

About mana, sounds like he's just stuck in his ways of poe1 where mana = useless on 99% of builds. [Removed by Support]


If you think imma listen to a nobody over the BEST PLAYER IN POE, you're crazy. Ben is correct you are wrong. This rare hunting backtrack mess is the same thing we gave blizzard crap over with D4 and you are just giving GGG a free pass.

Opinion rejected, end of story.

Your inferiority complex is screaming at me through my screen

Ben is not only a god gamer but a really smart dude. I agree with everything he said. I feel like PoE 2 is trying to re-invent the wheel just to be different from PoE 1, and it makes the endgame mapping system, crafting, items and more just a lot worse.


everything you mentioned has way more potential in poe2 than in poe1. clearly its wip, but i'm happy to see innovation rather than more copy paste


Nah dood, they prefer PoE1 with PoE2 skin, instead of something new from GGG.

It is POE1 beta with a POE2 skin. New doesn't mean good. Hence why some new leagues failed and their content never went core in POE.
