Announcements - A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players - Forum

This is big mistake. You betray us. I'm not a big supporter but I always try to buy supporter pack as much as I can. From now on I will stop buying any supporter pack. GL GGG	Posted by evilband7#3437 on Jan 30, 2025, 7:39:13 AM Quote this Post

In early interviews he did not even know what was going on with PoE1. He wanted his new shiny thing (I assume so did a lot of designers and managers in GGG). It was supposed to bring the "VISION" alive. They had tried to push it on PoE, but backlash made them abandon that plan. So now we have PoE2 and its alpha state. Sorry, Jonathan, but the statement is company speak 101. Announce a massive disaster - after the fact. People had been expecting this since ruthless mode and PoE2 EA was announced. And they were laughed at. To GGG it might be the economically sensible thing to do, but for players like myself, who love PoE1, it is a slap in the face. We were told PoE1 development would not be affected in am major way - but it has been for years. GGG expected PoE2 such a massive success, that people would just forget about PoE1. And like a lot of similar cases (Harvest, AN, trade), people just do not agree. Back when Settlers was announced, I had the distinct feeling that this was going to be the LAST PoE1 league. (Just the tone of the "bridging the story gap to PoE2 and Kingsmarch"). And now it turns out that they just lied about the work on 3.26. They said that it could have launched end of 2024, but timing was not right ... But PRE-production had not even started and all PoE1 devs are seemingly part of PoE2 team now. Even the fact that microtransactions are supposed to be compatible with PoE2 now appears to an attempt to soften the blow of PoE1 being abandoned. Seriously, awesome way to betray trust. I trusted those statements ... Any for the video: Is Jonathan now also Game Director of PoE1? Thought that was Marc's job? Strategy seems clear: 1. Build up hype for PoE2 0.2.0 2. Promise to fix EVERYTHING EVER 3. Announce the announcement of an announcement for the future of PoE1 some time later 4. Admit that now PoE1 does not seem to be worth the effort anymore with PoE2 being such a massive success 5. Keep Standard and HC going 6. the end. And all the excuses about what the next Jesus patch will solve... You SPLIT the player base, and just ignored us. Even the snide remarks: "PoE1 players often do not like PoE2" - like we are some backward degenerate unwanted remnant of the past. But GGG seems to be happy with that. Don't want to ramble on - I just feel incredibly let down. POE 2 is the furthest thing ever from being a massive success. It's an absolute dumpster fire and for 6 years of development it's a joke. Unfortunately it is both. It is a huge success in terms of reach and player base. It has seen higher spikes than PoE1 ever had. But it is also exactly what you said. Coming from PoE 1 the game is a really bad joke and seeing that they pull all resources from PoE1 for this is disheartening.	Posted by h_marvin#3641 on Jan 30, 2025, 7:41:45 AM Quote this Post
Can't say I hate POE2, but after the campaign it is a boring and broken mess. Many things fixed in POE somehow appeared again in POE2, the atlas and the towers are horrible, you thought the sextants were bad- the towers are worse! I have 4 characters in maps and I really can't bring myself to open another waystone. I was hoping for a new POE league because in reality POE is, with all it's faults, a much better game than POE2. The only truly better "thing" in POE 2, for me, is WASD movement. I don't like the skill leveling system, I don't like the 1 support rule, i don't like the lack of movement skills, I don't like the fact that in the "slow game" i can explode screens of enemies using just 1 button. I don't like the charm system and the fact I have no control. I don't like the fact I have to play CI and all my builds are ES. I hate I feel obligated to play magic find. I hate Sanctum with passion and now I have to do it! At least I loved Ultimatum but I miss Izaro, and have never thought I will say that! I'm disappointed because the work horse who raised and held the company afloat, the one who made GGG is left to die for a new one. I would have thought that POE is important enough for GGG to be treated with respect, and us along with it! we are the ones who remained league after league and we are the one who supported the company over the years. I don't know how many of the new players will be on board with economy reset 4 times/ year and how long will they stay after the newness will fade, we are the ones who remained, some of us from the beginning and we were pretty happy with the state of POE right now. I am sure in few years POE 2 will also be able to stand on it's own, at this moment it is a mess and POE1 should have priority. Or, just tell us the POE is dead, is gone and we will choose then if we want to stay or not.	Posted by AncaMosel#1972 on Jan 30, 2025, 7:41:54 AM Quote this Post
