WASD is great, going back to PoE 1 is going to be hard
|
Honestly, I love the new control scheme. It took a few days to get used to it when EA released, but now it feels very intuitive to me.
I've been playing on M&K for over 20 years now, and you can call it a skill issue (and it very well might be), but I've had a lot of issues dodging bullet hells in PoE1 just with the mouse. With WASD, I actually feel in control. There is a lot of negativity in forums lately, but I want to say good job, GGG. New controls are awesome and having a proper responsive controls is on of the most important things to me in any game. I would even go as far as to say that adding WASD to PoE 1 (without the dodge roll of course) would be awesome. Last bumped on Jan 30, 2025, 5:45:44 AM

GGG is taking a horrible path, with the new management of the company you can see the change for the worse, much worse. They forget Poe-1 because they know that most (except you and a few others) would go back to Poe-1, abandoning this monstrosity called Poe-2, a punishing and tedious game, which does not come close to its predecessor, Poe-1. And you know that this is so: if tomorrow a good Poe-1 league came out, the few players who are left playing Poe-2 would leave to play the wonderful Poe-1 game, the authentic one. But my friend, if they have copied Diablo 2, in the succession of acts "towards the east, always to the east", desert, jungle... will the mountains of Arreat come next? They are not original at all, they have made a mishmash of incompatible soul and arpg games, and it is poorly done. They have transferred mechanics from poe-1 and have MADE them much WORSE. Poe-2 is poorly made, and I don't care that it's Early Access, because I've been deprived of the pleasure of playing Poe-1 for this? No thanks. Bring back Chris and the people who ran GGG, this is going very badly. |

" What does all of this have to do with the fact I think they did a good job with the controls in POE 2 ? Controls feel great to me so they did a good job imo, simple as that. Enough with all the negativity... |

I thought so as well.
Then I booted up poe1 since it was obvious that GGG wasn't working on anything and I never got to play Settlers anyway. It took me all of maybe two minutes to go back to my PoE1 muscle memory. It's really not all 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. |
