Early Access Discussion - What was the point of Poe2? - Forum

Never played POE1 and never will. I do play POE2 and happily support it. So to me I guess that's the point of POE2. You know bring in some customers you didn't have before and wouldn't have had otherwise.	Posted by Antarious#5648 on May 31, 2025, 4:30:49 PM Quote this Post

They made Ruthless mode to realize the vision of an ARPG with "meaningful combat", but it was not enough for them. They wanted an entire new game. And so PoE 2 was made. It was everything that GGG aimed for. Slow combat that feels "meaningful" and a gameplay experience where every decision is "impactful". Why would they work on the version of PoE that does not align with the vision? Would you say that POE2 was "successful" at this slow but meaningful combat thing, like is that the kinda thing someone, a more casual player, who was more into Diablo 2, or the pace of Grim Dawn might find immersive?

The POE2 vision is a colossal failure, and one driven by arrogance and hubris.	Posted by 92ranger#4205 on May 31, 2025, 5:38:36 PM Quote this Post
I love poe1, I love poe2... But I might not be comming back to poe 1 Poe2 is a huge upgrade. It still in development and you cant compare a 10+ yo game with some that still in development (nearly at 40% of where it should be) So, glad we have both. But I'm moving forward If you want to stay, thats 100% ok. It's good to have some options.	Posted by GatoPreto1718#7829 on May 31, 2025, 5:46:22 PM Quote this Post
