What Are You Not Looking Forward To In Path of Exile 2?

My concern is simple.
GGG made perfect game.
Fear that new iteration like New Coke.

No fears here.

more Lost ark inspired content.
All the pseudo mmorpg elements have no space in a arpg hack&slay game.

Not looking forward to doing 100 (IIRC) bosses during the campaign for every character just to get to maps. Same for however many of the quest rewards I want to have. If it's even more of a slog than it is in POE, not sure I'll want to play too much.

Not looking forward to any boss fight if they have multiple phases or immunity phases during the campaign or mapping.

Not looking forward to having to use combinations of skills to have optimal damage.

Not looking forward to dodge rolling at all, especially for boss fights. Not a fan of Dark Souls.

Not looking forward to playing most of the ascendancy classes shown so far. Hoping at least some of the remaining ones pique my interest a bit more.

I'll still try it, and hope my reactions to it aren't as bad as they are now in relation to what we've seen so far.

If it doesn't hit the mark for me on release, we'll hopefully still have POE 1 around for a while and POE 2 might eventually evolve into something I'd enjoy playing.

Oh, that reminds me: another game built around the idea that the goal is to "get to maps".

Treat the whole game as the game people really want to be playing, please GGG.

Boss fights taking 30-50% of the time in a zone and every zone having one. Complete turnoff for me. I'm really scared I'll hate PoE2 after a few leagues while PoE is my favorite game of all time and most played game after WoW I suspect.
I never liked bosses in PoE either, I never even bothered killing an uber boss, I don't play souls game cause I just don't find banging my head against a wall until my brain's synapses learned ability sequences and causes me to smash through the wall. I like being challenged but not in that way.
I love the hack&slash ARPG genre for the slaying of many monsters, not for dodging or rolling on the floor like a prick bashing at a hp spunge monster for a big chuck of the total time playing the game. That's literally the only reason for my fear for PoE2, I don't care for a slower game at all, that's all fine for me.

This is pretty much my feelings, except current PoE is not perfect, but it is great. When a game is fantastic and they make a sequel that is very different, it's worse every time. I've seen this happen with many other games.

So I'm going to enjoy current PoE while it's here, because I am aware that I may not enjoy PoE 2 nearly as much.

Also, I've already seen a number of red flags in the little bit of PoE 2 content that I've seen (crossbows that act like guns? WASD movement? really???)

[sorry, mistake]

I am a little worried about community split and performance issues.

Poe 2 wants to give a lot of cool content, there will probably be bosses that will cause problems on the beginning but after some time they dont gonna do much problems

The final game seems to me that it will still be fast, it's because a person who knows what he's doing knows how to scale dmg well and the speed will finally reach a divine level hehe

The point is that POE 2 will be more fun at the beginning, and maybe it won't be as fast as the first one in end game, I hope so

This insane speed is due to the fact that GGG once wanted to use this speed to cover the very stiff and clumsy gameplay.

As a player with many years of experience, I hope it will work out for them and I'm rooting for Poe 2 to be a great game
