From what we've seen so far, do you feel you're going to stay with PoE1 or move to PoE2?

That's really puzzling, what you're saying. If corporate jargon is reality for you, then I can only applaud.
If someone makes claims without any data to back them up, or without similar projects in the past, it's obvious that it's just PR, nothing more.

Path of Exile 2 will kill Path of Exile 1, mark my words.


We've seen doomsayers like you for the past decade, and we'll see doomsayers like you for the next one. That I am certain of. :)

What "data" are you talking about anyway? The game isn't out yet. And what Johnathan said makes total sense. If they don't stagger PoE 1 & 2 releases they'll compete with themselves. That's just common sense.
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

Hi there,

Please note the Path of Exile forums are intended for civil discussions. Further ad hominem attacks and needlessly negative discussion may result in this thread being locked.

That's always confused me greatly, in the forumwide resistance to PoE2 as even just a base concept - people just actively cast aside the developers' own words and act like Jonathan and the team are deliberately lying to them with malicious intent aforethought, and I cannot for the life of me fathom why.

Like, can one have doubts about how well something will work in practice, or not care for the direction a particular design decision went, or even be upset with PoE2 in its entirety and have no interest in the new game? Absolutely. Those are all valid. I've seen people say they were turned off of PoE2 entirely and permanently by the implementation of WASD movement, and while I cannot fathom in my gut why, their stance at least makes reasonable sense - they don't like how WASD changes the gameplay loop and are upset with the break from ARPG tradition.

But this idea that they're actively lying about the plan to support PoE1 after PoE2's release, or lying about the fact that endgame is gonna be faster and blastier than the early-game content we've seen so far, or that they'll do their best to work in MTX cross compatibility between the two games...it's like, why are you possessed by these insane conspiracy theories? If you just don't want to switch games that's fine, there's no need to invent all this secret Machiavellian maliciousness and nefarious hoodwinking some people are CONVINCED Grinding Gear is trying to pull.

Guys. Seriously. Truly. They're doing the exact same thing now that they did fifteen years ago - making the game they want to play. They've simply had fifteen years for their idea of The Game They Want To Play to evolve, grow, and be refined and honed.


Fortunately it's not a forum-wide sentiment but only a few select stragglers who just happen to be very loud about it. Since they don't have strong arguments in their favor they have to relent to ad hominem.

I sleep easy knowing that none of that matters. :)

On the topic of staggered releases though: as someone working "above warehouse level" I hope that it's not part of a plan for higher workforce utilization which would be to the detriment of the developers.

This is a very strange way to go about just saying I don't believe them :p

I'd guess that they would stagger the releases but I also think its complicated, its complicated from a development perspective its also complicated from a personal investment perspective.

I think their existing model has brought them a world of success, double releases staggered or not is not actually their existing model - will it cause burnout/washout, will players get overwhelmed?

I have the answer to none of this but i'm interested to see what they go for. I know one thing only which is I can't play new league every 2 months I'd just burn out.

I'm also their worst supporter so its probably to their benefit if they burn me out ;p

You know, I think you're right....I might be wrong on this.

The developers and advertisements and interviews are all just 100% bogus. In fact, there is no actual PoE 2 coming, PoE 1 will close the second PoE 2 is released, and it will be revealed that Grinding Gear Games never actually existed.

It's just the matrix. At least that's what my "above the warehouse" unique common sense tells me. Every manager knows that straight up lies are the way to go.

Also...."You are obviously wrong", when it was a quote from devs and NOT me. But sure I guess I could be wrong using none of my own words.

Yea they are lying! Obviously they will close poe 1 the second poe 2 is released!

In case someone doesn't get in it, its sarcasm.

The only reason they would have to stop updating or even closing poe 1 is if it stopped making money. Which guess what every company would do. GGG aren't our friend.
Why am I still here
PoE2 just looks so slow , tedious and uninviting to me .
