Finally uninstalled PoE2... the wave of relief is crazy!

Wild that a post from 3 days after early access started has so much traction.

I uninstalled the game 2 days ago and it was the best decision I could made for properly enjoying these holidays.

Now I spend my spare time paying occasionally to PoE1 (trying to get the 19th achievement in Settlers), discovering other games and working, so I can have enough free time in a future for playing this "product" (if it is fixed).

No more frustrating moments, no more wasting my time and life lying to myself aND thinking "the next waystone will have better drop"

Only diehard streamer fans and players who have dissolved their brains playing TikTok videos could enjoy this game in its current state.

Also...
The graphics are great, but some things you can't just 'produce' by strongarming money into them. PoE 2 has no soul or lore at all. The main female explorer character whose name is so forgettable I already forgot it, if you zoom in, has a 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' metal helm with 3 huge feathers shoved inside of it under the metal. That's not lore, that's just goofy.

Act 3 is literally Act 2 from PoE 1 copy pasted and changed a little. I laughed out loud when I realized I was basically in Vaal Pyramids except laid flat down with the Soul Stones part.

1. Person that can't make a build that does a map in under 30 minutes claims TikTok brain rot is infecting the people making functioning builds? Sure...

2. PoE2 has no soul or lore. If you're talking about Alva as the "main female explorer character" then LOL. She's all over the lore and had an entire PoE1 season themed around her. Just because your "TikTok brain rot" has fucked up your memory doesn't make it a bad game.

3. And here's the big ROFL. "Look at me knowing all about PoE 1 when I just admitted to not even knowing the name of one of the bigger lore characters"

Absolutely. Fuck. Right. Off.

it's so funny to me to just self-report your skill issue like this

funny to me to see the toxic poe community do its thing while putting a mask on acting like you're all super happy and welcoming.

the second some one thinks differently than you it's rage time

There's a pretty big difference between someone coming over, having a nice dinner and some conversation, then going home...

...versus someone coming over, taking a crap on my couch, kicking my dog, throwing a chair through a window and leaving.

Happy and welcoming goes out the window when people come in being wildly disingenuous a-holes from the start.

That's NOT how it works... the people that paid the bills of the ungrateful divas of GGG are not disposable and this game SHOULD HAVE BEEN made with their best interest at heart... if the devs had any kind of soul or values...

Nope. Not your IP, not your game, not your rules. Sorry, they don't have to bow to you. PoE 1 DOES still exist.

The fact that long time PoE1 players despise this game shows that this game has a very bleak future ahead of it...

6,500 hours in PoE1. I love PoE2 - and despite it's EA bugs - see so much potential beyond all the good already there. But I'm probably lying, you'll tell yourself, so you don't have to admit you're wrong.

PoE1 vets have supported the game with hundreds of dollars (even thousands for some) and have sustained these ungrateful devs for a decade... especially before the big Tencent money...

Refer to above, since you like being so entitled EVERY OTHER SENTENCE. Also, it's been shown time and time again that Tencent doesn't FUND them...they are left to run basically as they did beforehand.

The fact that this game is bleeding out long time fans left and right shows you where it's going... nowhere!!!

Go outside. Breathe fresh air. Get help.

This game is pretty much the same as the Prequels of the Star Wars series... long time fans of Star Wars thought they were cheap and stupid cash grabs, new hype fans loved them... they all watched them once, but nowadays nobody gives a shit about them while the original trilogy is still watched all the time...

Translation: "I hate the new Star Wars movies so no one watches them. I asked. All 8 billion of you fuckers. And none of you like them."

Blade_Dancer_90#3602 wrote:

PoE2 is just the hype of the moment... nothing more... a cheap cash grab made with no care of love for the franchise or the fanbase... just to make everyone buy the early access and buy some shit from the store and then it will dwindle away slowly but Tencent will have their payday, so who cares, right?

That why long time players with significant investment got it free? They didn't have to do that, and if they're as despicable as you say, there's no way they'd pass up $30 more from their long time fans, right?

It's almost like facts completely elude you.

Anyway... people that praise this game have zero standards...

I'm not even including this whole section. It's literally "if you don't like what I like you're unimportant at best, vile and disgusting at worst." Actual sociopathic behavior.

And btw, the player count is going DOWN, not up... 550k players on EA day 1, already at 350k now... 200k players have got tired of the tedious, chore-like gameplay already... so maaaaybe Ruthless 2.0 will not be that "massive success" that the money-hungry streamers say it will be...

Finally, my favorite nugget that gets parroted over and over. Games always lose players over time. F2P and live service games even more so. That's why seasons, or whatever each game calls them, exist. To bring people back. New stuff.

You're a petulant child screaming at nothing that the world is unfair for no reason. You're creating scenarios that don't exist and living in a reality that is ONLY yours. NO ONE, and I say this with all the compassion I can muster, should take you seriously in the state you wrote any of this.
