No matter how many nerfs to loot to make it feels depressing and low effort league content like Breach I will still never play PoE2.

I simply do not want to rolldodge in my RELAXING autistic excel sheet netflix watching simulator.

To me Poe2 is the new shiney kids money grabing game.

I hope in a decade or so some indie game dev gonna make "Spiritual successor of Path of Exile" and PoE2 becomes nowaday Diablo4 or whatever garbage Blizzard has gotten out. Its funny how this thing goes in a circle, eh?

it's better to play and get used to poe2 now.

poe2 is the better game and eventually, poe1 will be decommissioned and there will only be poe2 around.

And when that happens I'll just go play another decade of D2/Grim Dawn/TQ. While some smart person with business sense makes a spiritual successor to PoE1 and I then go play that.:)

PoE2 isn't fun. It's just slower and tedious. The funny part is it's actually an even easier game than PoE1. Hell I beat all the available content on a thorns build in like a week and a half, and it was a joke. Think I died all of like 7 times and most of that was just trying to rush through it to get it over with.

I've never had a game so much inspire the feeling of "ugg not another map, I'd rather just chat."

The thing about PoE1 is you can just pick a skill, pull up PoB, do a little math, and just figure out how to make it work, and it'll just be fun to play.

PoE2 skills. SUCK. So many of them mechanically feel absolutely awful to use. You end up picking your build around "what doesn't feel god awful to use" and little else.

Why would you ever use the majority of Hammer skills when they are so terribly clunky, and all have awful animation frames when you could just spam Lightning Arrow? The only Warrior builds I've make that felt remotely fun to play involves either just jumping around with Leap Slam as a hack-kneed way to get around the games slow ass movement, or used a Spear for similar reasons. Just to add mobility and shorter animation frames.

I swear Asian "giant swords" game design are the bane of fun in gaming. It's zero fun trying to swing around comically oversized weapons that move at the speed of Dorito gamers.

Person above me has never experienced the crazyness that is Forge Hammer, lol. Last league I was dual-weilding 2h maces, clearing with Leap Slam + Heralds and using Forge Hammer + Shockwave Totem for big single target damage. Some of the most fun I have had playing melee in PoE ever.

Stick to the lyrics: poe1 good, poe2 bad.

Let's be fair... PoE Deuce has been in Early Access for only a year, now. Gotta be patient, and wait for it to be good. =^[.]~=

You better get used to it though, at some point they will end the support for PoE 1 and focus on PoE 2 only.

Also poe2 gets 5x more players on league launches compared to poe1, so yeah it is what it is.

And how would you know that lmao.

Guild Wars has been "dead" population-wise since forever and the servers are still running.

Some of y'all need to chill out with the doomer rhethoric, seriously. Enjoy what you have

Where do you think they learn it from?

Just look at the patch notes for poe 2. It's freaking huge. I can't believe that they gave us such a crappy league after one year of wait and most of the good stuff like async trade only came to poe1 because the system was already in use in poe2.

I consider flames a low effort league. Where do i start, the breach tab that is still there to remind us what was lost? The farrul bloodline, something that was introduced this league has a node that gives minions accuracy, while removing accuracy from minions completely. I could go on.

We used to get major patches for the leagues at least a month into it, but now the latest patch notes write 3.27.0c.

I will also not be touching poe2 even if you pay me.

For me the next league in poe1 will be the last chance i give this game. If we get another low effort league then i m done.

Not unreasonable. If you don't enjoy it, then there's no reason to play it.
