Nothing can save 0.2 update anymore

"Who knows. P2W is already a thing for the Chinese PoE1 Client, but I think (still) that implementing P2W in the Western Version would be extremely hard. But hey, if they lose most of their supporters (PoE1 community) they could go for some extreme stuff... so... And btw, the initial statement about PoE1 being old yadda yadda is so weird. Take "Klei Entertainment" with "Don’t Starve Together" (2016). The game performs pretty well and gets support over the years. The age of a game doesn't matter when it's good, especially if it gets support. [Removed by Support]

The diehard GGG supporters are on Kremlin Grade Copium. The league has already died down to 50k player peaks on steamchart one month after release. Even if you say "hurr durr, steamchart numbers aren't accurate", the trend does matter.
This is a loss of over 75% of the player base for 0.2 in 1 month. To put that in perspective, the majority of POE1 leagues had over 50% of league start players still playing after 1 month. This is an unmitigated disaster. A 5-alarm fire. |

I still like it in all of it's flaws. That being said, I haven't played PoE1 more than like an hour or two years ago.
My frame of reference isn't there like these older vets. That being said, my frame of reference is between 0.1 and 0.2 and there are things that I like and things that I don't. And there are things that I wish were there. I absolutely like theorycrafting and experimenting.... only very little is viable. I didn't know this before this league. In fact, it's now sinking in. I don't want to meta build, I want the game to be engaging with my imagination. Weapons are tied to too many skills IMO. There are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many illogical choices in the game design. I really like the monk and the thematic concepts of him. Last league I had an invoker. This league, I went Acolyte. An unfinished ascendency but whatever. I decided on a chaos/poison build only to find out later, poison (a chaos damage type) doesn't scale with +chaos. Well, it does if the delivery type is chaos but I use a quarterstaff. Poison scales off of the physical hit. 70+Levels of passive tree chaos nodes. 70+ Levels of wondering what the hell am I doing wrong? This is just one example of the illogical choices. As small as this may seem, it actually speaks volumes. The best example is the overall nerf to damage in so many forms. Enemies swarm you around every corner but they nerf the damage to counter that swarm. Then, after that. They nerf evasion counters. Acrobatics? Wind dancer? Whyyyyyyyy? Then stuns and interrupts were increased? What? Nothing here makes any sense. Slow and meaning while the mobs are anything but slow and meaningful in their engagement. I get one shot from off screen A LOT but hey, cant have people abusing wind dancer. This must be that vision stuff I hear about. Slow and meaning only applies to enemies coming at you in groups of 1-3 with telegraphed movement. Not birds or gorillas jumping on me or killing me from either off screen or close to it. 80+ evasion and 4-500 es, res capped (over capped), omen in bag. vs 6 armed gorilla offscreen or right behind a swarm. Dead. Omen still activated in bag. Hell, even Melania has wind ups and telegraphs. (shes the blade of miquella for those wondering). Good thing we don't have those people running around abusing that hexblast skill, right? I guess I don't get it. Why is Sekhemas so hated and simultaneously ignored by you? (better nerf that acolyte though) Why are you releasing a new class when Acolyte still needs work? Why is this advertised like a full release while still early access? Why isn't this still in closed beta if you need to make all of those sweeping changes like in 0.2? What's the point of a breach if you don't want screen clear? Nothing makes sense in the direction here. WHY DOESN'T POISON SCALE WITH CHAOS? Stop advertising leagues as huge content upgrades because that comes off as gross. Just add stuff until its done. It really just seems like GGG dislikes its customers. |

" its not about comparing it to poe 1 , you dont need to be a poe 1 veteran . the main thing that matter is.. are you having alot of fun? do you think it is a good game for you to play many many hours? do you think its a good and fun enough game to play another 10k hours and repeat and join again to play basically every 3 months? these are the things you need to think about. . do you think the game respect your time ? its not about being poe 1 or not being poe 1.. im pretty sure not a single poe 1 player expected poe 2 to be exactly like poe 1 .. but people kinda expected it to be a PoE game.. more ARPG style .. than it is right now.. and people are complaining not just because we think poe 1 is better we knew from start that at first poe 1 is going to be better.. . but many of us dont find the game to be very fun.. or we play more hours than avrage player and we are fairly familiar with how GGG/poe does things so its easier for us to explore the game faster.. so while many people are still on the exploring the game part.. i was already with a maxed out to perfection build with mirrors investested and there was nothing more for me to explore.. and then after theres nothing to explore if you play or you dont play comes down to 1 simple thing.. are you having fun playing the game not just exploring the game or not.. for me this was a big no.. but everyone is different and if you are enjoying the game this is great for you .. . but try to also think about the long term.. for example ive enjoyed the campain in the first time.. but its so long and so slow that im not enjoying doing it 5th time.. and i dont want to do it basically ever again ... do you? will you enjoy doing this long 20 hours campain again every 3 months? will you enjoy runing these same maps and layouts and content again in 0.3? and farm these items and all that? or are you enjoying because you are exploring it still but wont really enjoy doing it again for fun? only you can know but it was never about poe 1 vs 2 we bring poe 1 becuse we want to play poe 1 and GGG do not deliver on their promises we feel cheated in a way |
