You're missing the point. This isn't about whether D4 and PoE are the same kind of game. It's about how absurdly slow GGG is moving.

GGG takes forever to do everything, Jonathan keeps pushing his own vision, and a large part of the community clearly isn't buying it. People are judging the game as it exists now, not some imaginary perfect version years down the line.

Right now D4 is bigger, more complete, and actually finished. By the time PoE 2 finally reaches a proper full release at this pace, Blizzard will probably already have D5 or D6 expansions, and half a dozen more content drops out. Then we can compare PoE 2 not just to D4, but to D4 plus everything that came after it - D4+D5+D6 with whole DLC

And yes, for a game that's already been in development for four years, the current state is mediocre at best. This is the kind of progress people expect from a small indie studio, not from GGG.

I really don't see D4 as concurrence to POE 1 or 2. Also people seem to keep forgetting that even if there is still a lot to do, it is absolutely not normal, that you get this level of quality in an f*in early access.

I'm really amazed time and time again, how much whining this community is able to bring up.

And by the time Blizzard makes D5 and D6 they now have

D3 D4 D5 D6 which all are gonna be trash games that no-one plays. but hey at least they hauled money in from all their stupid costumers than keeps believing in blizzard can make a great game still. Poe isn't about making content corner cutting content like blizzard do. Matter in fact blizzard barely fucking make content ? and if they do guess what you now have to pay again for the same game you already paid for what a deal



GGG is about making content and making it quick. Polish it to their best abilities, Listen to their community,

What made Poe 1 what it is today isnt just a group of friends that came up with an idea. It's long term determination with thousands of updates and tweaks.
If poe 1 came out as it was back when i played ( open beta) it wouldn't be stand a chance in todays age of gaming and expectations

This is what a lot of poe gamers also forget. Poe never was a fully fletched game it was always evolving and that takes time. First 2 years if not more of poe 1 we had something called De-synch it was obnoxious it was ass but they found a solution it took time and a lot of testing

So give ggg time to cook. Poe 2 will be great one day i have no doubts ( and yes im also a hater of poe 2 at current stage) but i also know how freaking long it took poe 1 to get somewhere
