It's always funny on these forums watching 95% of the people defending poe2 be new players that have almost no experience with poe 1. They just have no idea what they are missing out on. Poe 2 has a lot going for it that is amazing but man there is soooo much potential for poe 2 if GGG would just get their head out of their stubborn ass and push the game even just slightly more towards poe 1

These new players defending poe2 is fine they love the game, but fail to realize the only reason poe2 is a thing is because of the support and money paid in by all the poe1 players over the years. GGG should remember this. poe2 doesn't need to be poe1 but GGG needs to keep the poe1 players in mind when making poe2.

They see poe1 players talking about poe2 and immediately think they are hating on it. No, we in fact want poe2 to be an amazing game. They just don't know how much better poe2 can be. I know it's EA and GGG does seem to be moving along in the right direction, I just wish they would be a bit faster about it

POE1 was very fun, BEFORE it turned into the zoom zoom boom boom mess after Fall of Oriath.
People like you and those no-life loser streamers need to stop trying to turn POE2 into that mindless bubble wrap pop fest.

Most of POE2 public are people that tried POE1 and DID NOT LIKE IT! So they are not an extended demographic base.

Really? And you know this how? =0[.]o=

By checking on the POE2 Communities, it is what most people that say they like POE2 repeat... You really think this huge number of people that POE2 has more than POE1 NEVEr tried POE1? [Removed by Support].

So, you're telling me that the vast majority of 850K PoE Deuce players (the figure Jonathan reported as the upper number) had played PoE already and formed a negative opinion of it?

That's ridiculous on the face of it, and you know it. =^[.]^=

I've read the whole thread and you keep repeating this

"they just have no idea what they are missing out on"

Why do you keep assuming that that's the case? Furthermore, why do you assume that even if that's the case, people would agree that what you like is what they would also like?

Poe is an old game, I don't know many arpg players who never tried at least once. What you're failing to understand is that many people like poe2 exactly because it is not poe1, and that includes me btw.

If GGG ends up pushing towards poe1 more than I would like and this turns into a game that I don't like, then I would quit. Just as I would quit if this turns into a game similar to d4

Youre absolutely right, this isn't Path of Exile.

It's Path of Exile 2, which they said so many times would not just be more PoE1, but a different style of game, and this style is a lot better.

PoE1 and PoE2 do not have the same target audience.

Amen. I can't stand POE1. It's not fun.

But POE2? I can't get enough.

Guy, we absolutely do not "fail to realize" that. Nobody anywhere at any time in any context has ever been confused about the fact that money from PoE1 was used to make PoE2 because holy shit no shit where else would anyone assume it came from?!

The failure to realize in this context is with the PoE1 players who mistakenly think that this somehow obligates GGG to cater to their whims and desires when designing PoE2. You gave your money to GGG for PoE1 and you got PoE1. End of transaction.

Maybe a little more combative than you needed to be, but... I can't say you're entirely wrong here.

PoE2 feels like the original PoE that I feel in love with, way back in open beta -- the deliberate pace, the dangerous monsters, the need to actually engage with the game rather than just skipping past it all in a race to get back on the grind, these are the things I wanted from PoE2, and 0.3 is delivering all of on them.

For those that prefer PoE1, don't worry -- it's going to continue to exist, and to get new content on the regular. PoE2's just shaping up to be a different game. You don't have to like both of them, but some of us really do prefer this one.

Poe 2 is tough. It's not for the weak.
They have Poe 1 for mindless zerg.
If all else fails, Diablo 4 exists where you can completely turn your brain off.

For the weak? Bro it's a video game. Touch some grass.

I won't enjoy PoE2 until
all builds can feel fun to play,
towers and delve mapping exists.
Not to mention performance, i thought having a "new" engine would bring better performance. But it's actually worse lol

The free to play players are not indicative of success. The ability to retain players is. POE2 has had much more marketing than POE1.
