Early Access Discussion - This is NOT PoE 1 ! - Forum

From a lot of the developer's discussions, what I remember most was them saying that POE 2 will be POE 1 but just better in every way. It seems like that really muddied the waters with people expecting exactly that. The developer's vision of POE 2 is vastly different from what is in POE 1, and I personally like it. But, people had expectations of POE 2's game mechanics being much more like POE 1, and that is unfortunate. People were asked what they most liked from the early information leading up to POE 2, and the thing I liked most was that they created much more powerful tools to change things in POE 2 more quickly and efficiently. The changes in the first patch seem to point that out clearly, as they adjusted dodge roll along with adding checkpoints and loot drop adjustments. That patch did a ton of stuff, and they did it quickly. That is the best thing going on for me with EA.	Posted by DragonBreaker#2632 on Dec 11, 2024, 8:29:17 AM Quote this Post

This is not 'POE1 with better gfx' This is not 'POE1 story continued' This is not 'POE1 remake' If you playing POE2 as you usually do in POE1 - well, you do it wrong. You should not rush, you should not focus only on 1 damage type etc - this is another game! You focus on fire damage? Ok, pretty soon you will face a boss with extreme fire res. You like minions? Fine, pretty soon you gonna met a boss who will do huge AOEs and your minious would be perma dead. Or boss wont spawn any adds and you wont have a bodies to use your skills Etc. ---------------------------------- This is DIFFERENT game It has DIFFERENT concept! It hard to believe for someone, but there is a lot, who DO NOT like the current POE1 state, where the only gameplay you have is "set strictEST filter, buy 200 same maps and run them all in 10 minutes, then sell all you found to RMTers" I believe, there is a lot, who like aRPGs but dislike this speedster gameplay. I want being rewarded for completing harder content, but not for doing the same DUMB repetitive stuff, like completing 200 maps per minute! And I believe POE2 is for ppl like me. And I really love what I see there! ---------------------------------- You like POE1? Fine - play it! It is still here, it wont be closed and AFAIK it will recieve updates and new seasons still - what a problem? cool story, who asked?	Posted by J_Love#0714 on Dec 11, 2024, 8:36:02 AM Quote this Post

If they would end up here with te same crap as in POE1 "all you have to do is run 200 maps per minute or you gonna suck without anything" then it would be even bigger scam, than Scamblo4 did Auctioneer House - is a MUST! 'POE2' is not 'POE1 2.0'! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3614313 Last edited by SilverWF#6383 on Dec 11, 2024, 11:21:49 AM	Posted by SilverWF#6383 on Dec 11, 2024, 11:21:28 AM Quote this Post
I think naming the game PoE2 would imply a sequel ... maybe they should of renamed and marketed it something more like what it is than?	Posted by xssarinx#0364 on Dec 11, 2024, 11:31:22 AM Quote this Post
Currently POE2 is a very good game. Hopefully they don't ruin it.	Posted by swo0plt#5433 on Dec 11, 2024, 12:51:53 PM Quote this Post
They already said Poe 1 players are likely the ones to have the hardest time because of the drastic transition. It’s not what they know and they were hoping for those years of experience to mean something. Sadly it doesn’t translate 1 to 1. Loving the game as is as a new player to the series. If Poe 1 is any easier it may as well be d4 to me so not worth the time imo	Posted by Zalavaaris#3413 on Dec 11, 2024, 12:57:08 PM Quote this Post

I loved PoE1 and I'm genuinely enjoying PoE2 so far. PoE2 is more or less what I expected it to be. We knew it was going to be slower, we knew it was going to have a dodge roll mechanic, we knew it likely wouldn't be a one button spam fest. I knew what kind of game I was getting. I can't help but wonder what everyone hating on the game expected? Did you not watch any gameplay previews and just assumed things all on your own?
