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

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.

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.

i fucking hate the trials of ascendancies, i dont like the idea of 1 try bosses for mapping. i find the drop rates pretty bad. but i m still having a lot of fun in poe2. i cant go back to poe1.

really hope things get reworked/toned down tho.

It needs major work. if not, neither. i'll be moving back to my other aarpg's (grim dawn, d2r, d4 and last epoch most notably) , don't like poe1 , like poe 2 a lot better but needs work.

Btw, no need to feel attacked because I like d4 , to each their own. feel free not to reply. being offended by my opinion is a choice you make for yourself, has nothing to do with me.
