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

Poe1 league cant come soon enough. I want to like poe2 but its current state is just boring. I don't wanna fight bosses all campaign and I don't want it to take 3-4 skill rotations to kill 2 white mobs. Its fucking ass. I want to fucking blast.
Stay with poe 1 as poe 2 is just a dumb down version of poe 1 for the masses.
The greatest thing about Early Access is it brought into stark relief how much I like PoE 1. I think a lot of others are going to feel the same within the next month.

I always knew this, but I got caught up in the release hype - which is always fun, and I regret nothing. But 2 is everything I expected it to be.

PoE 1 all the way.

PoE 2 will see a lot of improvements. PoE 1 started off very rough too. But if ruthless is the direction they are hoping to take PoE 2 and keep it there...PoE 1 all the way.
Unfortunately even after finishing cruel, it's just not fun. Too slow and tedious. I'm already back to POE 1 :(
POE 2
Poe1
WIll most likely stick to PoE2, I'll most likely try PoE1 league every 3-4 month but maybe not clear them.

Had my fair share of 1button click build. While it was fun the first 500h hours (which is a fair bit tbh xD), Most PoE1 skill are the same. All melee build are right click next because. Interaction only occur on a numerical level.

While PoE2 is slower, I feel I have more control over what's happening, more strategy.
POE 1 is for those who like:

-> loot simulator
-> advanced crafting
-> economy
-> mouse click based controls
-> plowing through enemies.


POE 2 is for those who like:

-> challenge
-> roguelike games
-> souls like bosses
-> crafting their own gear
-> xbox controller

Since I like loot, economy and mouse click controls, I prefer POE 1. I do like a challenge but the poe 2 mouse click controls interfere here. And my dexterity is not good enough anymore to deal with these clunky controls and face souls-like bosses. And no I don't play with a controller because I have a huge stance against console games which in my opinion have ruined pc gaming.

Also you can play POE 1 with multiple attack skills as well. People referring to 1-button mashing only do it because of streamer FOMO.

POE 2 is designed primarily for console.

I can't play either. POE2 is total dogshit and I love POE1 but they made it impossible to run on my computer. It ran like a dream as recently as Crucible League and then overnight it was unplayable. The devs have told me to go fuck myself. I would love to play POE1, hell I would love to enjoy POE2 but I don't think I am the target audience for this game anymore.
