Should PoE2 take the back seat?
" Pretty much. And both those points (map layouts and tower mechanics) are probably deal breakers for me. I doubt I will ever be able to enjoy the flow (or lack there of) of the endgame grind if those mechanics remain/persist. And what do they do? Band-aiding bad mechanics, with waypoints in bad layouts and more bad towers. It's baffling, really. I've said this before, but it can't be said enough: ARPG's will, especially in the endgame, always be repetitive. There's no way around that. So an endgame needs to be designed in such a way that the repetitiveness is as enjoyable as possible. Bad layouts and meaningless tower mechanics work against that in a major way. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz#3529 on Feb 7, 2025, 2:55:49 PM

" The guy you responded to did deformed the content of the leak : "until 2024 100% of the company was working on poe1" = big stretch "entire company has been working on every PoE 1 league this entire time [...] poe 2 development literally stopped during heist & others league [...] only 8 people have been working full time on PoE 2 [...] during 6 years of development only 3 years were fully productive if i had to guess" = some bits of the first part of the actual leak The leak is true , the predictions made back then by the author of the leak were then confirmed . BTW why are we acting surprised a real leak could even be published on 4chan ??? It has happened hundreds of times in it's existence lmao . Anyway nobody pretended some Anon smearing his employer would be a 100% truthful unbiased take . Some stuff he said may have been exaggerated due to how pissed he seemed , but it was no larp that's a fact .

" Maybe you're not reading or paying attention: the last COUPLE YEARS OF POE1 LEAGUES WERE MADE BY 7 PEOPLE this was during the heaviest POE2 work. 4Chan is a place where mentally unwell people go to play pretend and make up stories for other mentally unwell people. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years. |

Come on, guys.
Some people in here base all their arguments on a "leaker" that can't really structure a sentence on 4Chan, while others base all of their numbers on a fantasy number of developers working on PoE 1. We don't know anything. All we can do, is look at the facts: - We got 2 (two) PoE 1 leagues in 2024, only half of what we're used to - One of those two leagues, will probably be running for almost a year. - We used to get "expansions" once a year, with additions to the endgame. Can't remember last time we got one of those. People preferring the better game are clearly getting the short straw. The reasons don't really matter, but we all know those reasons can be shortened with a abbreviation ending with a "2". We all knew this would happen, no matter what we were told. It ALWAYS happens. I'm only disappointed about the scope. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" Who? Sorry but the opinion of three random streamer/content creators don't reflect the community. Lol There will be PoE1 content once they got time for it. The roaring minority really needs to be less demanding here. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun. Last edited by Pashid#4643 on Feb 7, 2025, 4:58:12 PM

" Really? A customer shouldn't be demanding the "bare minimum" and what was "promised" and talked about several times? I don't really understand that attitude. I don't really care if it's a minority. It shouldn't matter. My neighbor's dead cat understands why PoE 2 is the priority - that's not the issue here.

How's the economy in poe2 anyway? In about 1-2 months it'll be a cesspool like poe1's standard.
Let's see how many tourists remain after the first economy refresh heh. Second-class poe gamer

" It’s worse on PoE2. Filled with bots and price fixers, if you do get a response there is a good chance they will try to scam you. |
|
" There's no shortage of bots and or price fixers in poe1 either. GGG - Why you no?

I don't trust the supposed leak. "Swords have never been touched ever in the entirety of PoE2's development" oh yeah? What's this then?
https://poe2db.tw/us/One_Hand_Swords#OneHandSwordsItem https://poe2db.tw/us/Two_Hand_Swords#TwoHandSwordsItem Sure they aren't in the game yet, but this doesn't look like "swords have never been touched ever in the entirety of PoE2's development" to me. |
