Also, it's bizarre how they're treating this almost as a league launch when it's an update to a beta. Like why are they doing these teasers and hype streams for a beta update again?

This indie company, GGG, needs to sell "supporter" packs.

Ya how dare ggg hype up their new game, I'm disgusted myself.

I created a thread two months ago warning that the game is shit and the playerbase would plummet within months and y'all laughed. I created another thread one month ago warning the same thing and y'all laughed. Who's laughing now? lol

It took less time than I thought for the playerbase to realize that POE 1 is superior in almost every aspect.



GGG wanted to focus on the soulslike audience and ignore its own playerbase and in the end it didn't please the soulslike audience or its own playerbase.

Even if GGG brings a new season with more content, the comeback will be much smaller because no one has the patience to redo all those horrendous trials of ascendancies and basically the same build.

How to fix this mess? I'll give some advices.

- Shutdown the game, right now! Redo from the beginning the game, even if it takes some more years in the oven

- Redo the whole skilltree as it is now the main problem of the game. It is soulless and one-trick, unlike POE 1's.

- Rework the optimization because the game is failing too much in this regard! How can Resident Evil 4 Remake and Marvel Rivals have a much better performance than an isometric game? It's shameful!

I think you can start with these, which are the biggest ones that come to mind. Remember that Tencent and Netease share the same mindset and this implies that when Tencent realizes what a disaster this game is, layoffs will happen!

Now go on, y'all can laugh at me again while I'll enjoy my POE 1.

BTW here's my POE2's review.

PoE 1 started with...endless ledge?


I say watch the numbers when they release the bear. If they do that one right, plus an endgame, I see bears everywhere.

PoE 1 also started out with four nerds in a garage. I think it's more than fair to expect "a little bit more" from a multi million dollar company.

You also mention "an endgame", as if PoE 2 doesn't have one. I agree. But instead of creating one, they seem hellbent om band-aiding the half-arsed endgame they've got, which to me is crazy.

You're a bit late to the party, mate. This was already being discussed by me and several others back in October 2024, see here.

[...] Trying to (realistically) maintain two games, let alone two divided player crowds, is imo delusional and likely doomed to fail. If you try to build upon your legacy in a way that is associated with your legacy and yet something entirely different, anything that doesn't meet expectations will sour the legacy (franchise). Or do I really need to remind you of Diablo Immoral? They are following the Diablo formula - stepping in their footsteps - whether you are ready to admit it or not. They want to be the next Blizzard. [...]

And I hate it when I'm right in such cases. I really wanted a shiny new PoE for everyone to recommend to friends, but unfortunately for me it missed the mark on so many fronts.

They need to stick to what works, poe. This poe2 nonsense is a waste of time :D.

is there even going to be a new league in POE2?

they completely dropped POE1, our favorite game of all time, and then nothing with POE2. It's been over 4 months...

I guess gaming really is 100% dead

This thread is hilarious. Everyone’s subjective opinions don’t matter. Of course, a seasonal ARPG in early access is going to lose players a few months in.

EVERY SEASONAL GAME IS LIKE THAT.

We already knew the endgame would have shortcomings—they literally threw something together so we’d have something to mess with while the game is still in development. This was communicated.

The funniest part? The people screeching “game is trash, I’m done!” after dumping 500–1000 hours into every scrap of content early access had to offer. If someone plays for a few days or a week and decides it’s not for them, fine, that’s reasonable. But when the sweatiest degenerates who have done everything possible are still fiending for more, then start raging that there isn’t infinite content in early access, all while breathing like an addict coming off a cocaine fueled limp-dick goon session complain he can't slooge for the 18th time. yeah, I’m not taking that opinion seriously.

For an early access game, with clear communication about what to expect, the current endgame is exactly what it was meant to be—a placeholder. We all knew this.

The game is fine. It will keep improving. And let’s be real—you’ll all be back, frothing at the mouth, for the next goon sesh when the new league drops.

Y’all are STUPID.
