Feedback and Suggestions - Is it worth to start playing Path of Exile in 2024 as new player? - Forum

I would not recommend it in its current state.	Posted by ExsiliumUltra on Aug 1, 2024, 9:50:33 PM Quote this Post
Give it a try and see if you like it before POE 2 comes out. Grim dawn has a lot of things to learn in it as well. I wouldn't say they are drastically different for beginner players, so if you liked one you will probably like the other. The difference being that POE becomes a lot more expansive, you likely wont be as knowledgeable as you are on GD after 100hr in each. I would say at the beginning of both games they are fairly similar difficulty and mechanically. The difference is with POE some people skip all this and jump onto a build guide and go straight to the deep end.	Posted by Belegur85 on Aug 1, 2024, 10:12:49 PM Quote this Post

Yesssss. Huge +1 to this. In general, I feel gaming is inundated with this stuff, sapping the fun out of every title with "how to unlock X in one hour", "the BEST guide for farming", "10 things you MUST know before you play Path of Exile". Like, it's a hack and slash game. Just play it. Learn stuff. Experiment. Repeat. Don't spoil those thousands of hours for yourself.	Posted by askreet on Aug 2, 2024, 12:34:22 AM Quote this Post
i would wait for poe2...current game is far too punishing and not very rewarding unless you sink a lot of time into it	Posted by Lyutsifer665 on Aug 2, 2024, 12:36:49 AM Quote this Post
Thanks for the heads up! It sounds like there's a steep learning curve for PoE. I'll definitely look into those third-party programs you mentioned and spend some time on the forums to find a good starter build. I'm prepared to invest some time to get the hang of it, even if it means a lot of learning at first. Appreciate the advice! mcdtalks.com	Posted by MiaGeorge on Aug 2, 2024, 1:28:20 AM Quote this Post
It is worth it. Play SSF. PoE never was in better shape.	Posted by de99ial on Aug 2, 2024, 2:17:29 AM Quote this Post

If you want to take the risk of having the "gear" you've farmed for years rendered useless with a snap of your fingers, then you should play PoE. If you like that a Free2Play game doesn't value the fact that the game is well programmed so that it works well with the computer's hardware, then you should play PoE. I would not recommend any healthy person to touch this game. I forgot something important, if you like hearing good night stories every 4 months in live announcements that later turn out to be a nightmare and a cover-up, then Poe is your game. This is a game. You put to to much attention to it. And care too much also. Healthy person will play game, enjoy it and go on with their life. Non helathy person with problems around itself might use PoE as an escape from reality. But thats all games and not only games.
