'ain't gonna last' as a game?

it's already over 10 years old

We tested it extensively
Considering Diablo 4 was so much worse than Diablo 3, PoE has nothing to worry about, at least untill Last Epoch becomes fully online game.
Despite certain things I am not happy with the game (The one-shot them or be one-shotted style I find the "arcade-y" nature to be incredibly fun, so I guess that's my allure of playing it after years of taking a break from it

On an off-note.. I cry every time I lose 10% XP when I die :S

Here’s a thought. If ggg can’t deliver a great league (I mean just look at tota, just terrible lazy game design, same with crucible, and LoK etc), how can they deliver a quality game with poe2? It’s obvious, their glory days are long gone.

Please define glory days!

Sorry if its early morning and I missed your irony!

I never get one shot by anything on any build I play, unless it's something like sirus meteor or atziri blast. Just be tankier?

Easier said than actually having it in practice

I do have a couple of tanky builds (And I mean tanky) but it doesn't change the fact that there will be unlucky modifiers that will directly counter whatever build you have made. And if said unlucky modifiers came up in any situation, a one-shot is lined up to be exactly that, a one-shot - with no time to react or dodge and you're only saved by a blanket which is your stats.

I guess that's why I am excited for the slower gameplay of PoE2 because of the fact there will be more player agency to prevent said things~

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the gameplay of PoE1, but it doesn't take away the fact that a lot more numbers are involved than player agency.

It can be this, but certainly doesn't have to be. Some games are checkers, some games are chess.

Yet playing Poe is like sitting in a college auditorium listening to a professor explaining how to build the DOS system...

So don't do it? PoE is absolutely cozy for those that know how to play it, but if you don't enjoy the process of getting to that point nothing anyone else says is going to change that.

As for PoE "aint gonna last", it's been here for over a decade already and isn't slowing down, so I'm not sure what planet you're on.
