A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players

You had the best game in the world
You were thanked for creating and supporting it
You made another game based on the best game in the world, everyone was happy that someday the best game in the world would get visual updates and technical optimizations to give us an even better game
You promised that poe2 development would not affect poe1 in any way.
Everyone waited and hoped.
But you saw the big numbers of players in poe2 and just chased after temporary users who will no doubt abandon your game, which has nothing to do now (and even if content is added - poe2 is much less enjoyable than poe1, and most importantly - much more boring) when any other high-profile release comes out, because your new target users are interested in tickling the CNS, not thinking while playing the game, and these users bought it EXCLUSIVELY because of the hype, like when cyberpunks and other things come out.
And as a result, instead of working on the game and parallel work on porting the game to a new shell with all the necessary optimizations, you decided:
- to throw away the best game in the world, poe1.
- for a PoE2 that doesn't even offer 3% of the fun of playing PoE1.
- disappoint all your players who enjoyed an interesting game, not a sandbox for dummy users

Which means you didn't get the world's best game and its improved rudiment in development.
And a dead game and another dead game, but some money.

Congratulations.

I hope one day I can play the best game in the world.
And it's a shame that now I have to find a replacement for it.

I'm hoping we can still see some end-league events to offer your POE1 players something

booo

WHERE IS CHRIS??? BRING BACK CHRIS!!!

Played poe1 for over a decade and have over 300 hours in poe2. I enjoy both games and will continue to support you guys.

Rather than a league, I would rather see communication on game-altering features to poe1, such as WASD and pause. Are these possible to implement? Perhaps beside a very small content update?

Lots of new money from poe2. Expand your team, continue to grow and learn how to manage two products. I will be here for it!

ty, ggg!

So devs were pulled from poe 1, because poe 2 development was too slow and wasn't going to meet it's deadline, then they were needed to express finish a half baked endgame for the delayed EA release, then kept on because the launch fires needed addressing, now are being kept on to prepare for .2 and in the future will be kept on to deal with the post launch issues that will come.

But yeah, totally after that, there won't be any other urgent reason to keep poe1 devs on poe2. I completely buy that.

Not cool GGG.
At first it was going to be an extension of PoE1.
Then you assured us development was going to be happening on both at once since you were splitting the games. Which was fine cause we could always go back to playing our dear PoE1.


But unfortunately here we are. PoE2 is just not fun for many of us and now you are shitting in your own bed.

We have been waiting, patiently. But we cant even get a blank league reset?
Hell, all the effort on PoE2 and its still bland and half cooked.

Seems to me that PoE2 shouldnt have been released yet.

Unlucky.
