I have to say this and get this off my chest now

I am SOOOO excited for PoE2. I am completely blown away by the November 21st reveal of more of PoE2.

I'm here playing PoE1 and I just got a drop that is pretty good... but of course I can't use it because of the sockets. I need it to have 3 blue and 1 red socket and wouldn't you know it rolled strength and dex... so I can basically kiss using it goodbye without sinking a whole bunch of currency.

With PoE2 GONE are the days of this happening. ALL your skills are just tied to a sockets that arent tied to gear. How amazing is that?! Finally, you pick up an upgrade and you get to actually USE the upgrade!

I'm actually just so excited for PoE2. It really seems like it is going to be everything I wanted in a PoE game... except damage numbers. I really REALLY wish they would just bite the bullet and put an option to turn them on or off. Just some small tastefully dps numbers flying up that don't feel too intrusive. But I really truly believe that seeing those numbers grow over time is just one of the many ways of feeling your character get stronger. I realize there is the meter on the bosses health that kind of shows it, you can get a sense of the DPS happening. But I'm a numbers guy and it really kind of blows me away that they haven't added them at all yet to either game. I'm fine if other people don't want to use them, but does it have to mean I can't use them either?!

But really you guys. 10/10 on the PoE2 announcement. I can't possibly be more hyped for the game. I'll be purchasing the $260 supporter pack as soon I get paid in a couple weeks. I'm paying you guys what I think the game is worth and I think you guys earned every penny of it. I'm actually even more mad now that Diablo 4 had the audacity to charge me $40 for a game where the numbers on the screen are so big that I had to look up how to pronounce it. You guys have done better than Diablo on every single aspect and I am comfortable saying that before the game is even out and before I have even played it yet.

The vision and passion you all have for your game touches my soul and I can really feel how much you all love the game. That to me is worth so much more than I can possibly give you guys. It is what's been missing from game development for what feels like forever. This company has tremendous leadership that has an outstanding outlook and view for the game. To me it is the perfect game, the only thing it really misses for me is dps/damage meters.

I mean the game technically already has a damage meter right. I can simply bring up my character screen and see my damage per second. I just want a degree of accuracy to that.

What if there were some training dummies people could put in their hideout and THAT was the only place you could see the numbers? Eh?! That's an idea?! lol Okay ill shut up. Way to go you guys. The game is 10/10 game of decade. GTA6 is really the only thing that can possibly hold a flame to PoE2 and it's just not even the same type of game so that's reaching lol GG GGG

Mate, I don't know if you noticed. But POE2 does have damage numbers. If you look closely at some of the boss fights as they are fighting you will notice numbers appearing at the top right of the Boss HP bar. Those are your damage numbers.

Yeah, i think they did a really great job. It seems thou its impossible to satisfy majority of forum posters.

You can EASILY and cheaply get your desired off brand sockets. Use what’s called the crafting bench. Force 2 red on it then go back and forth from 2-3 sockets. For the blues. Cost you a few jewelers orbs. You’re welcome. :)

It's so easy to get your colors it's no problem at all anymore. I mean even when the item is already 6-linked who cares? 6-linking costs nothing these days too, it's about 1 div.
