I 100% agree. I want LE and POE 1 to have vibrant communities that love the game they play.

What I don't want is the people who thought POE 2 should be like POE 1 to turn it into POE 1. GGG made a clear decision, that was smart, to try to capture to different audiences. I for one really enjoyed my time with POE 1 but I won't be playing POE 1 as POE 2 is more my speed and has been 10,000x more times fun for me.

I hope GGG really gets it together and give the POE 1 people a new league every 3 months like promised so they can quiet down and the new POE 2 community can turn POE 2 into something better than it currently is. Which is hard cause its already fking rad

+1

When I first played PoE1 the combat and graphics were a turn off, not the difficulty but the actual gameplay. I stuck with it and it became my 2nd favourite arpg of all time (after d2). PoE2 has the best combat of all arpg's now it just needs time to find its feet. GGG also need someone that knows how to make a good rpg to elevate it to D2 levels. It has the sound, combat and atmosphere but it's lacking role-play of D1 and D2.

No one wants to play a game where they are not rewarded for their effort.

Game where 1 ability dominates other 200 abilities and game where everyone plays one spec only , and how could you blame them...

Only players who have fun is streamers, because that's their job and most of them play 10-15 hours a day and never drop anything while streaming.

They seem to get most Divines while offstream , so that explains a lot...

Agreed. They've laid an incredible foundation. There is so much potential and I’m so excited to see where it goes.

LE is dropping fast

but...

Oblivion Remastered is picking up LOL

Do you truly believe that everyone criticizing PoE2 wants to make it into LE / D4? Have you tried these games yourself?

For digging for last months into this forum, I really think the majority of players who complaint about PoE2, want it to be really much more easier in any way and so, more like LE / D4.

It doesnt mean a majority of players of PoE2 want it. We all know people are quite good to complain, not to cheer up, specially on forum.

And I really think devs have to prevent players to disgust themselves from playing. Most of players have no idea how a simplify game could ruin the pleasure they have playing it. Specially with the pace of PoE2 with leagues every 3/4 months.

Wow your blackmail attempts of everyone is going to go play LE and poe2 is going to die has failed

poe2 currently has 76k people playing

LE has 74k

Also remember LE only has 2 platforms people play on

POE2 has 4 different platforms people play on

LE is a trash game and if you turn poe2 into a clone of D4 or LE then it will actually die.

LE - 88,156 24 - hour peak
PoE2 - 77,735 - 24-hour peak

Yeah, no.

In some aspects LE is better than any of the PoE games. In others, PoE1 is much better but it has been around for longer. PoE2 is not better than any of the other two.

The thing is - POE 2 was ass to play on this patch. It's propably the worst patch they ever released.

When you're familiar with how corporate software development works, you stop being surprised when a release trips. The corporate way of doing things was optimised for producing material goods out of factories (or workshops in historic eras). Software development is a tad less predictable but the corporate way shoe-horns it into tight schedules.

A release date is announced a month or so in advance. Something must be released on that day, no matter what. The corporate way eschews waiting until you're certain everything is ready, it wants to aggressively predict and deliver. We got a glimpse of how the 0.2 project slipped: "we're going to nerf things first then buff other things" and they ran out of time to do buffs before they had to ship.

Would it have been better if they'd waited? Arguably not, it blindsided them that many players just don't want to parry/disengage. As well as only now realising many players don't want to do the "chores" of disenchanting and vendor shopping. This is just fine for the corporate way: Fail Fast! Ship something, get feedback, iterate sooner. Unpleasant for the audience, but it gets results - eventually.

"No one", "everyone" - black and white thinking detected. Leaves your arguments exposed to easy counter-proofs, which in turn leaves you vulnerable to the No True Scotsman fallacy where you double down saying "no one who matters" instead of "no one".

You are essentially saying "the only valid way to have fun is to see good drops coming at a decent rate for playtime. Whatever is done to get the drops cannot possibly be a source of fun, it has to be in the drops that fun is found". It's a valid description for many players, but you cannot declare it applies to every last individual who plays the game.

People complaining in this thread...you need to get over it and go play something else. At this point it should be obvious PoE2 is not a game for you. Just take the L and move on because.. you are just being toxic right now.

Once again poe2 is beating LE.

No. All content should not be able to be cleared by all players.

The game is not going to die because you cannot figure out how to get a div to drop.

The game is not going to die because you cannot get your 4th ascendancy

People complaining about this game being too hard, and that it needs to be easier for them to enjoy, yet they have hundreds of hours of playtime.

Then a game comes out that does this, makes it so easy that you can walk through the entire game without even trying, and they love it so much, they play for a whole week.

GGG stop listening to this braindead audience, and make the game how you want. These people havent the slightest clue.
