Why tho? In PoE 0.2 you had one viable build with lightning spear one button 3 screen clears and 55% usage of the player base.

I rather play PoE and chose a couple of more builds


Right and so, if you would rather play PoE1, you can understand my point if you had to play PoE2 in order to get an MTX for PoE1. You would rather obtain that MTX in PoE1. My preference is for PoE2.

I've been playing PoE1 for a long time, and at this point I would much rather play PoE2 which imo has superior gameplay and aesthetic/visual clarity


Hahah thank you. I needed a good laugh today. The gameplay lol. Vaal Guards lol. Arbiter fight lol.


Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, even in PoE2's early unfinished state, the gameplay is better. You are referencing a couple specific examples in PoE2. Well I've finished all the content in the new PoE1 league and every single encounter is trivial, boring, and has always lacked visual clarity.

I'm not saying PoE2 is perfect, especially in every particular example. But generally speaking, PoE2 has better feeling gameplay. It has more in common with older versions of PoE1, or its predecessor Diablo II.
They'll be in 2 in time, 2 needed a few other things solved first.

Like there is NO WAY I'd want the much needed nerf to Volt Support (the reason Lightning Spear is so hegemonic there) to be delayed even for my favorite POE1 MTX to get in. Likewise the loot fixing patches that have already happened. 2 needs prioritization and MTX are somewhere in the middle of the list.

The game is literally a rushed early alpha, and GGG needs to prioritize getting the missing core content, classes, skills, weapons, and all the promised MTX ported in. These were highly advertised and promised, so they should be near the top of the priority list, not delayed for years. The balance changes can wait, what matters more right now is getting the game into a state where it feels like a complete experience. We need the actual content and promised features in the game, not just more tweaks that don’t matter when the foundation is still so incomplete.

Balance changes are the most important thing, if 020 went live without the Archmage nerf, it would have been even more DOA than it was. All the Huntress work would have been a waste of time, and then the next league would have been zero build diversity again once the Lightning Spear - Volt stuff went from 'unplayably bad because Archmage so much better' to 'LS-Volt is the best build left'

Be like if in POE1, Vessel of Vinktar was still at OG power levels. Builds that can't use it would be considered total unplayable trash, and all the work put into enabling them might as well not be in the game.

If Duellist is the next class in 2, it needs to be delayed until they fix the lack of build diversity. Otherwise all the work on it is wasted, because the game won't be worth playing until the balance fixes are done.

That's definitely my preference, but my point is that every has their own. So if someone prefers mindless left-click screen clears, they should be able to get the league MTX without going into PoE2 also.

But I'm just spitballin' here.


so like lightning spear or incinerate shenanigans? both games are the same with clear, only one of them has movement skills and normal-sized maps.

God build?! https://pobb.in/bO32dZtLjji5
Honestly, all of the bloated MTX is a cancer to this game. I'm glad I don't have epilepsy.

Right. I'm not talking about the prioritizing new MTX, or its usability in both games. Rather, making the challenge MTX obtainable in either game, so that someone with a preference for one game over another, either PoE1 or PoE2, can obtain that MTX in their preferred game. It's not a call to rush MTX over mechanics.

I realize that a challenge MTX might be intended to suit the theme of a league. But on the other hand, these MTX will be usable in both games anyway.

If you agree with this statement, then you should agree with mine.
If you both would rather play PoE1, then making challenge MTX obtainable in both games would allow you to do so, and still get the MTX.

Which game I prefer is my business.
