General Discussion - After playing poe2 - PoE 1 is the Best ARPG (Awaiting Changes) - Forum

" Sarno#0493 wrote: I suspect you may have misconstrued their response, friend. Path of Exile entered beta in August 2011. Breach League was one of the all-time most well-received leagues and began in December 2016 - so around half a decade later. At this point the game still had four acts & three difficulties, so I'm not sure whether the mainstream view was that it was already "awesome." That was addressed a year later in August 2017's Fall of Oriath. Even at that point the endgame content - the bread and butter of an ARPG - was a shadow of what is available today. No Atlas trees; a more basic Atlas system in general; no Map-alternatives such as Delve (August 2018) and Heist (September 2020) - the list of pain points back then was extensive. I certainly didn't get the impression that it was Glorfndel01's goal to imply you were being unduely pessimistic with your timeframe. Quite the opposite - I thought they intended to suggest it will take substantially longer than ~3 years. Especially if PoE 1 starts getting leagues again... Except PoE Two doesnt start from zero. They have more than 10 years of experience now. They know what works, what doesnt work, what people like, what people dont like etc. Unfortunately they ignore all that experience and make same mistakes once again "because they know better".

Halt production on POE2, call it finished. Announce POE3 development has commenced. Release 3.26 for POE1. Call 3.26 POE3. Release POE3 makeover, giving it refreshed graphics, remove all doors and give everyone a free shark pet that sings Baby Shark Dance with a .2 second loop refresh. "End" POE1 and POE2, shut down their servers and never look back. Make money. You're welcome. I poop, therefore I am.	Posted by JunkHeadJoePC#0361 on May 19, 2025, 9:40:25 AM Quote this Post

Given that random Steam community members in the past took it upon themselves to tag games with such insightful tags as "Jews did 9/11" and "the holocaust never happened", I wouldn't be massively swayed by whatever tags may show up on a game's store page. Having spent thousands of euros on Path of Exile over the years, I will not be further supporting it financially until and unless GGG resumes offering Technical Support.

Steam also removed "loot" tag from PoE Two at some point which was hilarious.
