Its actually insane how much better poe 1 is.

If they upgrade the Poe1 graphic to Poe2 Level and leave all systems untouched, I would not even want to play Poe2 at all. Sadly, The grahic is important to me and I am always going to pick the fastest meta in Poe2 no matter how "interesting" the other ones look.

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.

After a 6 week PoE games break I logged back in my SSF Settlers totembro yesterday, immediately I felt the desire to do all kind of things in the game : look how I can farm to improve my gear, setting up a better gold farm atlas tree, rolling and chain running maps... Twice I have now played way passed my recommended bedtime and all I want to do is engage with all the game has to offer.
Next to the graphics from PoE 2 the only thing I would love for PoE is WASD. Can't think of much else either.

I knew PoE 2 wouldn't be my thing beforehand, but I would not have thought even EA would pale so much in comparison. It feels so weird... Atm I literally don't even care if PoE2 comes out next year or in 2035. I dont want it to be this way, but here I am addicted to PoE1 again in a dead league.

Or maybe some day you'll realize why you actually play games and suddenly getting to the end as fast as possible will take a back seat to playing the thing that seems more fun even if it takes longer.

You can cheese it with the grace period though, right?

No, that's the problem. Either you can memorize the sequence or you die. If you logout and re-enter, she will reset it, and if you try to wait it out via Grace Period, you can't because she never starts it until it wears off. You cannot cheese that fight by normal means; you either nuke the shit straight out of her bowels or you'll get covered in feces.

The pause. 100% the pause. It's so nice that you can just hit ESC and go to the bathroom.

Its an attempt, evident by the fact a 7 aps monk with howa blows up the screen with herald of ice.

So far the only better things in poe are:

-better graphics
-portal scrolls dont exist.

Yeah and why couldent they have done that for POE1, preformed a major upgrade instead of makeing a whole new game.

Probably because PoE is too "convoluted" for the youth today to get into. They have to "look up" stuff, think and learn. Those are all "grown-up" words.

But inn all seriousness, I get it; as much as I love PoE, it IS hard to get into for new players - and GGG probably wants to grow. Or.. Clearly...

better graphics, but like it isn't even close. The graphics are magnitudes of times more impressive and satisfying.

agree, people under estimate how important graphics and especially uniform composition is in games. the fact that the graphics/audio of everything are detailed to the titts makes this a masterpiece. the rest will get added and campaign is already way better than entire poe1
