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

I don't understand the point you intend to make or its relation to my own post.
Imagine the lack of introspection that would be required to spend your spare time telling people they’ve posted in the wrong section of some company's forum, only to then try accusing someone else of brown-nosing.

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.

the souls like tag on steam makes me think no.

Don't abandon us. don't turn your backs on the ones loving poe.

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.

gambling with exalts


Tbh the true PoE1 endgame crafting is also nothing but exalt spam gambling
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.

Steam also removed "loot" tag from PoE Two at some point which was hilarious. (seems to be back tho)
