Honest Suggestion: Rename POE2 "Savior of Wraeclast" and make a real POE sequel.

Let the people on the current game have their game and lets get a true sequel like you originally intended.

Guy I know PoE1 meant a lot to you and it's frustrating that PoE2 isn't the spiritual successor you hoped for, but the ship has sailed. You've got to know there's zero chance of GGG spinning up an entirely new development project while PoE2 is still in development - especially not to create a product that would be in direct competition with it.

As long as we're coming to terms with hard truths, you guys should also accept that the idea that PoE2 players are an entirely distinct population of people and that all PoE1 players are unhappy with the product is just utter fantasy. There's obviously a core contingent of PoE1 diehards that are unhappy with the game, but you must know deep down that a huge portion of the current PoE2 player base are former PoE1 players. GGG certainly knows it - it's why they made the decisions to divert development resources despite knowing full well how unpopular that decision would be with the PoE1 core.

There are POE1 players that like the current game. I would debate that its a large contingent. A good deal of the diehard streamers that have been here years are now playing Last Epoch or something else.

As for the supporter packs, I bet if GGG announced this they would have all the funding they need.

a good deal of those streamers are just straight shilling for last epoch right now. Not even trying to be secretive about it. "Should you play path of exile 2 or Last Epoch, btw this video is sponsored by last epoch".

From the start of POE2 it is not "Path of Exile." You either survive the noose or not. You are not actually exiled to Wraeclast by Dominus or anyone else. From there onwards POE2 is so heavily diverged from the original. Clearly there is an audience for the game but its not a sequel.

So I would suggest that the team working on POE1 actually start making the sequel.

So how would that sequel look?
1. Most of the league mechanics from the current game get kept. The least popular and least played mechanics are cut.
2. Full scale graphics revamp. All new artwork, rendering and texturing.
3. Brand new campaign replacing the current one but with engaging cinematics and story telling.
4. Add a "Ghost of an Exile" NPC that appears like a ghost graphically and teaches new players how to craft and how to get the items they need. So for example when they drop that three link the char would appear, stop time, and tell the newbie why they should grab that item.
5. Revamp of the currency for late game drops to get 6 links or even six links with built in advanced skills. For example more "Supports socketed skills with Brutality"
6. Character creation screen to get rid of gender locked characters.
7. Some better voice actions for character monologue (please make female witch be a little less b*tchy).
8. Combine Delve and Maps into a new atlas endgame. Each node in the delve tree is actually a map. The maps go endlessly and get harder. Once someone is at a certain depth they encounter random pinnacle bosses.
9. Add all of the Phrecia ascendancies (appropriately tinkered with) to the original making 5 ascendancies per class.
10. Add 2 entirely new classes with 5 ascendancies.
11. Smooth out the passive tree so cluster jewels are no longer needed.
12. Have everyone start dead center of passive tree. Choose your own direction, no need to traverse nodes to get to witch. Class should only be used to determine ascendancy type and innate skills.
13. Add new currency types especially at end game to craft more advanced loot.
14. Allow loot filters to be customized in game and even be shared for a specific class or build in game.
15. Rebuild the workbench to include things like horticulture, runes and other kinds of crafting in one device.
15. Seriously dump the settlers of Kalgur town as it is like age of empires inside POE and more annoying than anything. (opinion). If you arent going to dump it, let it be the hideout.

You want to do this and I will spring for the $1000 supporter pack.

Let the people on the current game have their game and lets get a true sequel like you originally intended.
