Is PoE2 even PoE?

How does hating on rollslop logically follow from "poe1 having objectively one of the worst leagues of all time"?

Uh... I suggest reading the previous comments?

PoE is a PERFECT game for me. Why the need to break down everything and make new things and call it a PoE game. I don't get it.

This is an oxymoron. The game is PERFECT by your own words. Play standard league, no improvement to the game is required. Why does the current league matter?

Who is forcing you to play poe2? You have offered no useful criticisms. You pretend to know how the company works.

What is it that you hope to achieve? Did you learn this form of communication from reddit?

Because they will kill PoE1 eventually and I will either be forced to play Rollslop2 or find a new game.

And frankly, I'd rather find a new game than playing that rootless Rollslop2.

That's reasonable. Diablo 2 still good.

Might as well.

Imagine being in charge of making a second version of the game you dislike...

This wont end well..

Have you ever thought about WHY sequel games are made? This comment here is shockingly off-center. Much like the intense hatred you have for PoE 2 simply because a non-mandatory dodgeroll exists, your thinking is exceedingly shortsighted and on the surface.

The MAIN reason for any game, ever, to be made....again in the form of a sequel is to IMPROVE or CHANGE things in the previous title that didn't work (in the developer's opinion). It's literally 99% of the reason for their existence.

The other 1% is, of course, money. But PoE 1 was and is still making piles of money. It's a live-service, regularly updated game designed to be forever playable BECAUSE it makes money forever. That wasn't WHY PoE 2 was necessary to the company: PoE 2 was necessary because they looked at PoE 1 and decided they wanted to do something DIFFERENT.

They have been spelling that out since 2019.


There isn't a single gaming company in the world that is interested in making a SEQUEL that's just a straight up copy and paste of the previous title, simply because it shares the name, lore, and genre.

Imagine if the Hollow Knight community came out and said "Hollow Knight was perfect, why make Silksong?"

Can you imagine that?

even poe1 is a complete different game from poe1 5 years ago

One of the things i love about poe 1 is that pretty much anything is possible. if there's a thing you wanna do, you can probably find a way to do it. It really frustrates me that poe 2 cares more about making you hit a few extra buttons than just giving us the tools to do cool things. I'm so tired of every time they add something to the game there's some reason I cant use it the way I want to. Wanna fly through the map breathing fire as a dragon? Too bad, you cant gain rage while using that skill. Wanna play corrupting cry on a class other than Warbringer? too bad, they nerfed seismic cry so it goes on cooldown whether you stun something or not. Just let us play the way we want and if its too strong nerf it, but don't limit how we can play with the toys you give us. It really has destroyed my hype for the game that I waited for for years.

haven't played since last year but going to play the new league coming up. I heard they will slow down the game even more?
