"join us for more quality of life improvements" aka poe 2 ification of poe 1

PoE forums are more fun than going to the zoo!

Given that PoE 2 is an across the board improvement over PoE 1, where the only thing PoE 2 lacks over PoE 1 is 10+ years of content additions, then PoE 1 becoming PoE 2 would only be a good thing. I am thankful for GGG continuing to prove they are the greatest ARPG developers in the business, with 2 games to cater to a wide variety of ARPG gamers.

The YouTube build AFK zero mechanics dopamine fiesta of PoE 1, and the actual highly skilled high IQ gameplay of PoE 2.

Hah!

Pause is a nice QOL. Especially for casuals. It doesn't make the game "more like poe2".

I clear maps with holding one button down until everything is dead? As i don't need to press movement skills is this the high IQ gameplay of poe2 you talk about?

You played enough both games to back up your opinion. It's quite questionable, but we can all have different tastes and expectations, that's perfectly fine.

But then, you stumbled.

PoE Two is more birandead than PoE. They dumbed donw every system PoE had because it was "too much" for newcommers.

You have a point there. I showed my dad POE2 and his first response was "Did they make this for console players?"

does every "qol" need to be in every game ever? you ever think that a lack of something is actually a feature? we don't need pause on escape. we need pause on alva.

this game is a joke. too bloated and made for ben and other streamers

Hopefully, this is a clickbait/ragebait troll post.

Imagine there is a guy who so much hates Group AB, that if group AB has a new japanese toilet, he will on purpose restrict his bowel movements, just not too look like them or be like them.

ANd if they enjoy good food, and optimizations, he will, for certain, go back to eating worms and dirt from nearby puddle, because he does not want to have anything in common.

PoE 1 is by no means a perfect game it needs a lot of work and improvements.

PoE 2 is even much less than PoE1, but because they have much higher budget/resources/priorities, they somehow solve problems you had in poe 1 for decades.
