Confirmed first 2 acts are complete. What you saw at Exilecon is it. At first I was blown away by the graphics, but after watching gameplay it looks bad. Druid demo looks the same, boring. Ggg made the wrong decision abandoning Poe 4.0. Ancestor is embarrassingly bad. Crucible was barebones effort bad. Past leagues same. All evidence points to this being the tragic end of what was an interstellar success.

Surely this time the sky is falling.

Everytime they show something new im like '' Wow it look like it could be fun ''

Then I remember the few things we know and I see flaw in what they do and im like '' Its going to be bad ''

The bear thing is the perfect exemple of that. Like man im sure not having armor isn't going to be a problem at all wih hard encounter and fuure content.

While that is true, there is a LOT that we weren't allowed to see from when they demo'd it at exilecon, and in typical GGG fashion the Druid trailer isn't telling us anything except there will be a Druid class.

The game demo was clearly designed to appear hard for the sake of hype. The players were given basic gear, couldn't see any stats, etc..

So we can't really form any kind of judgement until we get the game on our computers and are able to play it.
Until then... it's all speculation.
It could be great! It could also be heaping pile of bovine excrement like D4 is.

It is quite easy to think that everything in the world suck. All can do it, takes no skill. I agree with you in the part of PoE, at least a bit. That train has not even been built, no less left the station. A lot can be done before any release.

GGG must tell, should tell, what is the most important to PoE 2. Is it a bigger net that catch more players, makes more earnings. Is it to improve PoE 1, make it even better, and if numbers of players increase ort not doesnt be the top of priority. It is easy turn the "make it easier, not deep and not let the big freedom we have in PoE 1 be the lead word. But then it will end up like Diablo most probably.

This game would not have been as big as it is and lived that long if they went with PoE 2 first. The unique selling point that it is like it is, thats whats make something viable.

We all have thoughts, what is bad and what is not and also if something is good. I think information is the biggest issue, even that when talking and try to understandd new things in game - with the npc - there is a risk getting attacked (I think). Explain those things in-game. Not about calculations and that, some wants to know exactly, some don't. So when encounter new things explain. Abyss, delve, delerium and so on. Even, phasing and other expressions.

Lets play some PoE 1 now and its not that bad you say, its your mood speaking!

They have nothing to gain from that.

I mean skills being able to be used by all characters is neat and all but like they aren't USED by all characters.

I've been absent but last I check there's not a whole lot of Lightning or Poison based Marauder builds out there, even though you Can use skills based around them.

If everyone can use all skills/gems in PoE2 neat I guess, but probably still gonna boil down to "This grouping of skills is all you're actually going to use for this character" like we have now.

Unless things got like WILD while I was gone.

I agree for the most part.
If the entire game is going to be like that, then they will lose the majority of their player base IMO.
I don't want a slow, grindy play style where we have to work for each kill.
