The BIGGEST ISSUE with the POE2 community is THINKING IT SHOULD BE JUST LIKE POE1.

The end of POE2 is just like POE1, it's walking and shitting skills at an absurd speed.

This is crap.

I don't think it should be just like PoE 1 but PoE 1 definitely learned some lessons about what works and what does that they just decided to forget I guess.

And another thing, in the last few months, POE1's player peak BARELY left the 30k mark.

You can be ABSOLUTELY sure that the success of POE2 isn't due to a single bit of whining from POE1.

POE1 is stuck in a limbo of insane mechanics, with people blowing up maps in seconds and bosses melting in 1-2 seconds.

And these guys think that's fun.

I've said it before: if you like blowing everything up, go play Vampire Survivors.

In Affliction league rares had more hp than integer could handle. I am not sure about that.

I've never been able to afford to make a build like that and I doubt you have either maybe only 1% or less have. The fun is in making it work and improving it. You know playing an arpg. Poe2 leaned too heavily into the artificial difficulty and cut all crafting and looting aspects of an arpg
If you want slow play boulders gate 2.
If they want that inda speed they should've made a new ip

People arent complaining because they wanted it to be "just like PoE 1", people are complaining because the game is shit atm, it´s really that simple, it is shit, at least 80% of my time spent in the game is afk in the hideout because how booring and full of bad design decisions it is.

People don't want PoE 2 to be like PoE 1, then we would play PoE 1. But we're not degenerates. We want to take lessons from PoE 1, remember what we learnt and apply it to PoE 2. Bring the fun things and remove the bad and frustrating stuff behind us.

Makes sense?

thats true. i would like to switch between both games leagues and both games should be good.
in the first place it was called a poe1 expansion with updated campain, visuals and fixed melee. that was the reason for the whole thing. then it became its own thing what is totally fine. but i can understand everybody who is a bit disappointed right now. it delivered on campain, at least the first 3 acts, and on visuals and combat for sure. but if feels like everything else changed to the worse and melee is still bad. i dont want it to be like poe1, but "different" and "worse" shouldnt have the same meaning.

The game is owned mate, they are faster than poe1 and bosses dying in less than a second!

I absolutely hope it's nothing like POE 1.

I stopped playing POE 1 after about the 999th time slogging through the flipped-asset campaign which is required for EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER on EVERY SINGLE LEAGUE for some reason that only makes sense in the mind of a sadist.

But, ironically... here we are... slogging through an even LONGER campaign that's even more hilariously asset-flipped for every single character...
