Its actually insane how much better poe 1 is.

So far the only better things in poe are:

-better graphics
-portal scrolls dont exist.

I logged in back to settlers hc and the second I started to leveling new char I completely lost desire to back to poe2. Its just an undescribable feeling.

yeah its amazing that they worked 5 years on this...probably needs 5 more to get it to the same level as poe is right now

Removal of Portal Scrolls in poe2 was a nerf, now it has a cast time while in poe1 is instant (and you can still bind it).

With the current DNA of POE2, I'm not sure 50 years fixes it. Many key things that make POE1 more enjoyable to me are purposely removed from POE2.

For OP:

Graphics are great, but not absolutely necessary for me either. Hell, I had a blast playing Vampire Survivors and that has Nintendo level graphics.

Exactly. People forget that PoE 2 isn’t meant to be a better game than PoE 1; it’s just the game they’ve always wanted to create.

Why couldent they have put all that time and effort into POE1 and updated that instead of creating a whole new POE which IMO was not needed.

And I think POE 2 is way better than 1.

Your point?

I play POE since it was in beta 2013 (on and off). Those characters are only from Settlers and recent leagues, I deleted others (not that many anyway). But yes, I only have around 1000 hours played. Why is that important? In POE 1 I managed to get all 4 void stones but I find POE 2 more fun. Graphics, animations, no bloat, etc. play big role for me.

Sure, the endgame of POE 1 is way more developed but I know POE 2 will get there.

I know what Early Access stands for and I remeber that current POE 2 endgame was rushed in just several months. Not sure what did you expect. Give GGG time.

It's okay to like bad games.
PoE1 is superior to PoE2 in almost every way and I say that as a person who used to hate PoE1 for how clunky and bloated it is.
