Elements of PoE 1 you DON'T want to see in PoE 2, ever

Same people tend to make same decisions. Decisions you personally don't want to see in PoE 2 at any time - put them here.





1. You can facetank endgame bosses, but there is this one ability that will one-shot you if not evaded (hello, drowning orbs).

2. Map, breachstone, anything has "N random modifiers". Of course you can just start new map, but still.

3. Maven summoning random bosses. Make memory game last 10 rounds, add 3 new things to look after, but spare me this RANDOM c**p.

Zoom zoom on the level that is impossible to see what is on screen. That is what made me stop playing POE1.

whats worrying is that while the repeatedly stated it will be slower, they added the most mob dense time sensitive mechanics from poe. very weary about those.

1. Town log-ins. I'd like the option to start in my hideout (though I understand their desire to advertise MTX via communal areas).

2. One-way friends lists. Currently, somebody can add you as a "friend" without your say-so. Even if you deny their request, you will continue to show up on their list. It's so senseless and it facilitates weirdo behaviour. It's called a Friends list for a reason.

I hope they don't put Ruthless in PoE2.

League bloat. They're off to a pretty awful start tho. If the base game is good enough you shouldn't need all these shiny things that constantly pop up in maps to keep players engaged.

To be fair tho, it's almost like they were forced to do this because if they didn't rehash a bunch of old leagues players would just go "but POE 1 has so much more content!".

Seems they planed to add those as core means to getting certain modifiers. I think they feared the removal of the bench woudl resolv too many peopel if they did nto add some more forms of "tuning ".

Campaign replays. Seriously, how many decades does GGG need to make the new season initial leveling less boring / faster?

Orbs of Regret, but fortunately they already fix that.

I was hoping for fewer time-gated mechanics, but they have shown in the livestream that they have once again been added. I just don't like mechanics where I can't pause in some way. If I have a character that can go AFK for a minute, then let me go AFK for a minute.
