funny thing is I play only crossbow builds on different classes and ascendancies. I play SSF only (HC on top of it half the time). I never found LL and all my things are mediocre at best and still have tons of fun and cleared all content there is (aye not doing 150 deli maps but its understandable on HC)

That's why you can't tell the difference. Try to play Deadeye on Rhoa, and then you will know what people are talking about, saying that playing melee or crossbows feels terrible in comparison with other builds/weapons/classes.
I can tell you that you will fill like you are palying a totally different game.
You have 4 days left - go and try yourself :)

I have that in poe 1 and I have stoped playing it long time ago. I have even went and tried new league and its the same stuff.

I am describing my situation.

You at the other hand speak for as "we" or "majority" which is not ideal imho

Let's be real, POE1 in its current state (and I've been playing almost every league since 10$ closed beta) is just zooooooooooooooooooooom. Nothing happening on the screen matters if your build is even half-baked.

Poe1 simultaneously evolved (mechanics, leagues, endgame content, sense of progression, itemizations, options in general) and devolved (gameplay) over time to the point where gameplay doesn't even matter that much. Does anyone recall what POE1 was on the release date? How different the game was?

You completely trivialize the entire game, but Ubers, with a copy-pasted build or good enough items. Damn, even a random build destroys everything. There is very little moment-to-moment gameplay left (literally restricted to ubers, where you have to pay attention unless you are using one of the meta builds).

Poe2, on the other hand, has a huge potential of becoming a much better game on the fundamental level, heck, imo it already is, just lacking content. Getting rid of everything that makes Poe1 hollow is the right move. Zooming through screens, obliterating everything in a split second, is exactly what has to be gone.

And to all whiners: just go play Poe1 if you don't like GGG's take on Poe2 and stop creating those whiny posts on reddit, because this is more than pathetic. Or find a different game altogether if you are bored with Poe1 and Poe2 is not ur cup of tea. Thanks

And kids, stop spamming rue is cat, grow up.

Reading the comments under the Patchnotes has been a blast as always. People actually think they have an idea about how the game works/should work is funny af. Especially when they have been around for like 1 year or so.

People already are suffering just from reading the Patch Notes, im sure Jonathan and Mark are laughing their asses off right now.

Also the Last Lament interaction literally was not intended guys.

EVERY trigger mechanic usually needs the trigger to go through. That is something that no other spell/skill/tech bypasses usually, so you should be glad they left it in the game for 0.3.

This was not intended and just because they showcased it in the BotW doesn't mean it wont be subject to change. BotW is them showcasing nice build ideas but doesn't equal "You should consider this build for your future". I wonder how many builds from BotW got treated like this that you don't even know of.

Most of the changes we don't even know if they are good or bad because you gotta try it to give a clear judgement (looking at you 40% Change).

And when the patch drops and there are actually some parts of the game that nobody likes im 100% certain they will patch it within the first two weeks like they did in the past. We even got them to ditch those damn stupid Archnemesis mods (even though it took some time sadly xd)so im sure this will be fine too.

And for gods sake... please stop reciting all the Youtube videos you guys saw like it's the bible....

See you all at league start anyway.....

First Login and then maybe some magic will happen, i hope my intention of the wolf Druid is not wrong but i have some funny ideas >.>

It still feels wrong to me to try to copy POE1 things into POE2 and just adjusting them a bit when you clearly worked out all the mechanics in the first game to suit the pace and gameplay to a much quicker than POE2, but it might be just me idk.

GGG doesn’t “copy” POE1 things into POE2 — it’s simply a natural progression over time.
There’s a lot from POE1 that will eventually make its way into POE2, but all of that takes time to develop.

I feel people forget that POE2 is still in Early Access.

Do you remember how POE1 evolved over the years into what it is now?
How many years devs spent developing and polishing it?

So why expect an EA version of POE2 to be as good as POE1 after only one year?
It doesn’t make any sense.

I’m sure that once the full release arrives, POE2 will become the best ARPG for many years ahead.

I completely agree with you, I'm as sure as you that POE2 will be the best ARPG ever, and yes I am aware that it's only early access, but seems to me that they don't know what they want. Whenever you start a project you should know what is your target audience, eg who is going to play the game. But seems to me they try to make a game that suitable for both newbs / 30mins a day players and the sweatlords who play this game all day. Crafting was in a good spot last league, accessible for everybody, all they had to do was to nerf the essence like they did now and make some mods harder to get on items when reroll, but no, they got rid of omens. Years and years of development on poe1 and for some reason they are still doing mistakes like this.

And I'm really sorry, if poe2 is a natural progression of poe1, why is there a poe1 anymore? Or they'll get rid of it when all the mechanics from 1 will be implemented in 2?

Anyway I don't want to be a doomer or anything, just threw my 2cents as I'm a bit pissed off with the lack of responsibility when it comes to poe1, which feels more like a playtest area for poe2 nowadays more than anything.

They are just testing out new things imo. And the omens were probebly a step ahead of poe 2. It was like you got rng rng rng and then an omen which takes away 99% rng. That was kinda weird to me.

You rather have no poe1 leagues now then what we are getting for poe 1? It doesnt take much of a brain to understand it takes alot of time for poe 2 to delevelop, they have a hard time getting the manpower so after poe 2 is kinda done with development. And it is back to just balancing and new league content...at that point they will have much more time for these things making both poe 1 and 2 better leagues then we are getting now...

But still i take a bad league every 2 months over a good league every 8 months so theres that.

Are you guys finally gonna remove the 10 seconds from rapid shot. I would like to use rapid shot without being locked in to grenades again like .1
Also can we just get rid of charges for example spearfield requires a frenzy charge to explode the spears why not just have it interact with the detonation skills to cause the shrapnel

Rhoa 100 spirit...

Sad to see homogenizing omens go. Last league I crafted a lot. Nothing that really sold and was so crazy, but I was just having fun crafting for myself and trying to sell something. Without proper non rng crafting I guess the majority of players can go back to simply ignoring every item drop and just trading our way to gear upgrades.

Personally, I'd rather choose one base item for each slot, find that, then work on it as I play making it better over time. Craft it myself with clear progress not rng spam, and only need to go to trade for very specific things or just to speed up progress.
