Why POE2’s Direction Is Worrying for Veterans and Newcomers Alike

I'm not playing Poe-2, I'm fed up with the rutless changes and I don't care what they do as long as they don't make Poe-2 a worthy successor to Poe-1 and I agree almost 100% with what OP said.

TLDR: Bumpity Bump Bump.

Well said to the original post.

I've tried for dozens of hours. I'm done. And since POE 1 has been left in a rather clunky, unwieldly state (with no new league in sight if we are to be honest with ourselves...), I'm sort of left without an arpg. D4 isn't fun either.

Why is it so hard for video game creators to stick to that which works and stay in their lane? The developers think they are fine artists but they are in reality commercial artists. I think this misunderstanding of role and identity is at the heart of the problem.

If you want to make video games as fine art, make a different game that's artsy.

Forcing players to play a slower, clunkier, longer, less-fun game isn't "art". It's you losing your player base. Which is insane because you have the blueprint right there in poe 1.

Zero sense in making POE 2 a copy of POE 1.

Quick comment on the currency take. I played over 350 hours before I got my first divine orb and that was about 3 days ago. And exalts are few and far between. Most people can't engage with trade to level up gear and progress but they also can't craft because barely and currency orbs drop. People will 100% be forced to buy currency from 3rd party sources and it's completely understandable. Fix trade or fix currency drops but they both can't be inaccessible to newer players and possibly older players have similar issues with drops. I was running with 100% rarity and was lucky to get 1 exalted ord every 20 hours of play. Its a serious issue.

Drops seem to be slightly improved in last few days but its still not enough to be able to craft. And grinding exalts for 100 hours to be able to afford a little weapon upgrade isn't good.
