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

I think it's hilarious the salt in here claiming the game is a dark souls clone because... you have to dodge? Dark souls didn't invent dodging damage folks.

As i've said many times POE 1 is not POE. POE died in 3.15. They've used POE as a testing ground for POE 2 so much it's not even the same game and you'd know this if you got to play before 3.15. visually and mechanically they've ruined poe for poe 2.

I won't be playing either. they can pay all the streamers in the world to hype up the games but luckily I'm not a zoomer and can resist it.

3.14 was the last great moment in arpg history imo. I didn't hate PoE after that, but it hasn't been that good since. LE has potential. D4 is turd sauce. PoE 2 isn't the worst thing ever so far, but I don't feel any fomo when I log out.

Well, it's uninstall for me.
PoE2 ain't fun, to be polite.

See ya when new PoE1 league drops.

I'm honestly just too burnt out of PoE 1. I'm gonna play PoE 2 for awhile because its new and fresh and different.

So I'll be moving to PoE 2 for awhile. I just cant do the same song and dance in PoE 1 anymore. Slogging through 10 acts, doing all the same thing ad nauseum for the umpteenth time.

My only concern with PoE 2 is the campaign seems like it will be even more of a slog in its current state, so they will have to do something about that. But its at least "fresh" compared to over 13 years of the same song and dance Ive done in PoE 1.

I also think the combat feels decent. The early game power scaling needs smoothed out. I'm watching streamers literally obliterate maps and the only thing that looks different from PoE 1 is the lack of movement skills, otherwise they would be demolishing maps as fast as PoE 1. Its the early game power scaling that needs tuned so its not such a drag.

I'll play both, probably like one league per year in each, maybe more - I'm really enjoying PoE2 so far, so will see how the leagues will be (so far, campaign feels extremely replayable because there's strong progression in it + exalts are the main currency and drop in the campaign as well).

Poe 2 - Slower paced, fewer loot but higher quality, boss driven with more explanations of mechanics.

It's not "fewer loot, higher quality". It's "fewer loot, lower quality".

POE 1 for me. POE 2 is not fun. Too slow and repetitive. Gameplay is the same everywhere. Dodge, attack, dodge, attack, .......

I'm gonna jump back to Path Of Exile 1 as well.

I'll play both, at least for the foreseeable future.

POE II is obviously in Early Access, and while being a massively good game, it's rather light on content. Half of the classes are missing, many skill gems are missing, crafting doesn't exist (and I'm sure it will in the final game, crafting in POE is infamous for its complexity, they won't just ditch that)

So yeah ofc I want to play 3.26 league.

I will continue playing POE1. It doesn't look like POE2 has any fun factor with no loot. Nobody wants to play Ruthless 2.0. Looks to be a real failure after 5 years in the works for POE2.
