PoE1, worth to start now?

Hi, im hit 40 hours in PoE2 but endgame is so boring at this moment. Im think about play PoE1, it is worth to start play now or wait for new league? I heard that new league is coming in February 2025, so it's enough time for me. What do you think guys?

POE1 is going to feel much different than POE2. Animations, speed, combat, polish, build diversity, crafting, everything will feel different.

I hear the current league is rather good and fleshed out. Probably not a bad time to jump in. Probably not many chatters though
I have around 400 hours in PoE so i know something about this game :D Just want to know it is good to start now, or maybe wait for new league.

Nobody can tell when it's a good time to start for you personally other than you. It depends entirely on your goals and why you play in the first place.

Wait or don't wait.
league is probably dead...it was dead even months ago...but if you dont mind then you should play for a month. who knows they could delay poe1 league yet again
Never a bad time to give POE1 a try. Its a better game all around.
Absolutely start now. The current league will last a couple more months, and is one of the best we've had in years. =^[.]^=

It definitly is! Thanks to Faustus POE 1 is better than ever.

I started POE 1 just a little bit before POE 2 to get a better idea of the franchise in general and the bit I played was fun. I didn't even finish the campaign though as POE 2 came out.

I thought it was great overall from my very limited experience.

-I didn't like fiddling with skill gems on armor slots though. I prefer the POE 2 system where skill gems have their own system.

-POE 1 can be confusing with trying to engage with it as a newbie or after a long while (I imagine) because even early on there is a lot of:
*Oh look you get your own in-depth town: uhhh... am I supposed to engage with this early on??
*Oh look you get your own mine to explore: Wait? Do I need to do this in campaign??
*Oh look, you get to start rogue missions... when?

You get the point. SO much has been added and I was uncertain of when to start engaging with what since it was all thrown at me even during the campaign.

LOVING POE 2 but... even having a lot more time than a casual, I think I need some patches to bring POE 2 into a bit more of... reality for a lot of gamers. I don't want it dumbed down to certain OTHER ARPGs but... yeah. Just finished Cruel acts and now mapping and... really starting to wonder about sustainability here.
