Path of Exile 2 is everything I've wanted in an ARPG
Is there things that need to be worked on? Of course it's early access; that said, I am having so much fun - the game has taken over my brain and all I want to do is play it.
I can't wait to see what GGG has in store and I alomst can't believe this is only the beginning. This is going to be epic. Last bumped on Dec 9, 2024, 9:05:18 PM

It is truly mindblowing what they have done.
Not only did they fix almost everything that was wrong with PoE 1. But they went one step further to create a completely new game which redefines ARPGs. This is a masterpiece. GGG I salute you. I hope they don't give into the tears of people who don't want to, or cannot adapt to this new type of game. |

I am digging the hell out of it, but then I also play ruthless (which I think is excessively stingy tbh and people who think POE2 is worse are very much mistaken, I mean maybe Uniques are about the same but gems and supports and currency aren't, not saying they're perfectly tuned either) I also hope they don't cave to the 1 button crowd. POE1 is there for that.
The entire point of forking POE2 into its own game instead of a second campaign in the same game; was to let the clear speed players keep POE1 and let people who want less brain dead gameplay have what POE1 was originally supposed to be. I've wanted quality over quantity gameplay in POE since early days. I've watched POE1 sled down a slippery mountain of catering to trivial 1 button gameplay and then be balanced around that which is why everyone wanted "loot 2.0" to address the very thing that the clear speed meta created, endless mountains of trash loot. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
