A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players

C'mon guys, give it a couple months rest till the dust settles. Then complain if you still want to.

It's so funny to see grown men crying over a video game.

You spend money on the game. And you played the game. You probably got one of the best deals in the gaming industry when looking at how much you spent and how many hours you played. You paid for the present, not the future.

It's evident that 99% of people here have no clue how software development works. It's basically impossible to do precise timelines for new projects. You can't predict all the shit that will go wrong and all the shit that is much harder to implement than expected.

And anyone talking about how PoE 2 is dying is a moron. Concurrent player numbers after two months in PoE 2 are similar to the best day 1 peak in PoE 1. Get fucking real people.

You are not important because you spent money. Over a million other people also spent money, and they spent it on PoE 2, not PoE 1.

But the most funny thing is that all these crybabies will be back with money in their mouths as soon as the new PoE 1 league comes up. No matter what they said before.


I wish developers smooth sailing from now on so we can have a constant flow of new content for either of the games. Please don't listen to idiots who have nothing else in their lives besides playing the same game for 12 years.

Finally someone with common sense

ok.. ggg fucked up happens... i just hope to see poe2 bosses and graphics in to poe 1.. poe 1 is the better game for veterans and ppl who play lot of hours. poe2 is better for new and casual players.. i just hope we will not be betrayed in order to please the casuals......

Is this some out of Season April Fools Joke?

"The development of PoE2 will not affect the development of PoE1 in any way. They are handled by different teams."

Thanks for giving us a shit game instead of new leagues

I don't mind poe1 delays at all, but there better be big changes coming for poe2.
Funny how most people complaining about the delay somehow did not complete many challenges in a 6 month league. Some even have 0. What is that about?

It's called being a spoiled man child heavily addicted to dopamine.

One major reason why people complain so much about PoE 2 is because you have to actually think to be good at the game, you do not get huge dopamine spikes just from playing, you have to earn them, and even then depending on the outcome, you might or might not get a dopamine spike at all.

Modern games are designed to be addictive in every possible way, while PoE 2 was designed as a game that heavily punishes your mistakes, but also rewards you for playing correctly.

It becomes even more clear once you start playing on HC, the game does not reward you with dopamine spikes at every turn constantly, like Diablo 4 does for example, where loot rains from the sky and it takes 30 seconds for all items to drop from a single Whispers cache. You have to earn everything, fight smart, position yourself, plan ahead, don't walk up to melee range of huge monsters that deal heavy physical damage, all of these lessons you learn while playing, however these people do not want that, they do not want to grow. They just want to "ZOOM".

Reading almost 30 pages of replies makes it clear and apparent that 95% of complaints come from people who only play games to constantly ride on dopamine spikes (like junkies), instead of actually playing to be a better player overall. Like you know have goals to accomplish, things to improve, knowledge and skill to gain, concepts that are largely being cast away in place of this new way to play games, presented to the masses.

Doesn't matter what it is, how it plays and what you do and how you do it. As long as you "have fun" i.e. ride on dopamine spikes to get even more addicted.

Fun became such a subjective concept that it can no longer be defined by those who preach for it. Like ask all these people crying in here, what it actually means for them to have fun? I bet all my years salary that 99% of them won't be even able to give a clear and concise answer.

"I just wanna turn off my brain and zoom" of course you do, how else would you feed your dopamine addiction?

Just look what happens to actual, functioning adults (I presume) when they learn they will not get "NEW STUFF" in their "FAV GAME" in a timeframe that seems acceptable to them. (When in reality it's not even them making the decisions, it's the addiction). Just look how fast all sanity and decency disappears.

I can't even imagine how hard it must be on the dev team reading all these spoiled, man children junkies acting like the world is ending, because they will have to wait a few more months for a league in their favourite game..

I love PoE 2, I cannot be thankful enough that there is a company on the planet who is still not afraid to make genre defining decisions and very risky choices in their games. And I know that the team will not stop, working hard to make PoE 2 the best aRPG ever made while maintaning PoE 1 for those who prefer that game (and for those who will play both, like me :).

GGG you guys can do it! It's gonna be a great time once you guys manage to solve the issues with the team and get on track with releasing leagues for both games on a schedule. You'll all look behind and realize that all that hard work has payed off!
