GGG failed to understand what the game needs

Hi everyone once again.

I want to discuss some things regarding PoE2 overall after playing an amazing event "Phrecia" and why PoE1 will be the better game even after 10 more years and why GGG is mentally unable to understand what the game realy needs.

This is an opinion from a non Streamer one that has no money benefit from playing the game in contrast to Streamers that will defend the game no matter what and i am ok with that i understand this is how they make their money they need the game to succeed but they dont see ahead the road.

PoE2 is set to failure on a torturous for us slow decline of frustation cause the concept overall has taken a wrong turn

Regarding yesterdays presentation i was dissapointed and here is why.

1:No proper crafting . Strong Essences gated behind unique map.Recombinator is a cheap way to give crafting. All about crafting feels cheap and gamba like playing a mobile game.

PoE1 has the perfect recipe for crafting.The fact that they removed everything regarding crafting is mental.

2:Gem system. I have mentioned many times through my posts that the gem system is horrendous. Taking away the XP grind and giving us a cheap mobile version of gem system and at the same time Power Walling us on the campaign is a criminal decision.

3:Portal system. On yesterdays presentation they were changes bad ones.Just give 6 Portal.Game is punishing enough with the xp penalty.I know multiple friends droping the game for good just for this aspect of the game only.

4:Optimization.Oh boy how sad this topic is. PoE2 is an impressive game on graphics visuals animations but its runs like a potaton when reaching endgame.
Just like PoE1 PoE2 will never have good optimization it will never run in endgame properly. I will always be on a barely playable state no matter what PC you have just like PoE1.

What PoE2 failed at the very end is to keep me interested,
When PoE1 over the years had news of upcoming Leagues or w/e i was taking days off my work just to log in Day1 on League start.

I had fiber connection installed on my apartment just to get a better Experience just for PoE1 i had my PC upgraded just for PoE1 and many many sacrifices just for PoE1 things i would never do to that extend if it was not for PoE1.

PoE2 is a game i will never drop a single cent other than the initial money i gave for access. I dont care about new Leagues if i miss them.I dont want to play the campaign again its horrible i want to zoom out blast monsters just like PoE1 and move to endgame on a resonable amount of time.PoE2 is not a game that gonna respect my efforts to get better its walling me through terrible game mechanic decisions.

Anyway see ya in PoE1 new Season.I am skipping 0.2 i dont feel like playing any of the game ascendancies and going through this horrible campaign again.

I think you have failed to understand there is no need for a another POE1, we have one...


This to me feels more like what you think the game needs and we don't need POE 1.5
I got the sauce.

POE1 & 2 enjoyer.

I also disagree with your opinion.
I supose you did not got the point about Poe2.
Repeat Poe 1 is not what they want or will do. Like why..?

Keep you interested by simplyfy everything, well, I doubt it.
Once there is no challenge everything becomes boring.

Is is a game, so it should not be too hard, not like rl, but it should be hard, at least that is what their vision was for this game.

Hard disagree with that one big dawg. I adore POE2.

Goodbye. Hope you have fun with poe1.
I personally enjoy poe2 and am looking forward to its development.

P.S. After crafting most of my gear in settlers, I never want touch poe1 crafting again in my life. Really hope ggg goes in a different direction with poe2.

yea right:

rituals
delirium
breach.... all that is an old content.

you think punishing player by losing his map on death a good developing???.
I think they very much understand they do not want it to be like POE1.

I think they want a different game that will appeal to different people and expand their customer base. They want two games not a replacement.

I have played POE1 plenty in the past but am currently only playing POE2 as I enjoy it more. With leagues, I don't really see myself playing both at the same time because I like to push as far as I can in a league before it ends.
not repeat are you sure ? everything they add in patchnote is poe 1 content xD
