PoE1 slop enjoyers, rejoice!

If you're a PoE1 slop enjoyer, this next patch is definitely for you. You're getting all the bloat in just one update! The "content" hungry mobs will be pleased! Your instant gratification is here! The perfect things for a consumer culture enthusiast! Play it for 1 week and move on!

Impressive!

It comes with the added benefit of even more power creep too!!

Now they're even showcasing themselves how to "melt bosses" by two tapping one skill. (well, they were already doing that in build showcases but now it's even more in your face) And even better.. RIGHTEOUS FIRE babyyy.. it's finally here and in an even more broken variant it seems... with minions! And no apparent downsides??? For when you want to be 80%+ afk in your favourite ACTION rpg while watching whatever you slop enjoyers watch while "playing".

Oh, but perhaps you are more interested in culling screens of insignificant monsters from full hp "one screen at a time" - Mark. Though, that sounds a bit slow to me, I don't think a poe1 slop enjoyer would be satisfied with that. It needs to be at least two screens.

MMM or perhaps you want to be a truly skilled martial artist and sit in place while clones of yourself kill everything while you hold a button. The true expression of skill... I'm feeling like a GOD just thinking about it... I achieved so much by pressing one button, I'm so proud of myself.... though it sounds like too much effort to keep a button pressed like that.

OH.. and everyone can copy builds from the 3% even easier now! So you have to think even less. Which was the only thing you could actually do anyway to have some sort of fun. Not that most of you didn't do that already.

OH OH.. and not A SINGLE thing about combat mentioned. Not one.

Honestly though, thanks GGG... for making it extra clear where you're taking this game... to the grave (for me, at least). Thanks for lying to us about the combat initially, thank you so much!

I'm amazed that reskinning the old poe1 league mechanics tom two extra months of development... they didn't but we'd have a 9 month league is they didn't delay it and that would leave poe1 with 9 players left on exilcon

people still expect the "slow meaningful combat" that was advertised many years ago at exilecon? the EA has been out long enough now that everyone can notice that is not the direction the game has been going pretty much right from the start

Just enjoy the slop dude, don't waste your precious content time here, commenting. Get yourself ready for it. Go figure out some afk druid build or you'll be left behind! But, I mean, you don't need to actually think about it, just search for someone else that does it for you to minimize the effort as much as possible.

That isn't fair. GGG has two teams now, one to develop PoE and a two guys to copy those mechanics and lump them into PoE2. That's how you make a sequel that's different and better than the first game. Duh. Sounds like you don't know anything at all about video game design.

I believe you have walking simulator meteor bear for that... but if you can't figure something else out.. well that's a problem, you'll be left out like that. You're gonna press buttons while everyone else is melting screens? pff. Good luck buddy.

I agree. I am quite disappointed. Now there are 2 PoE1 games.

I will keep saying until some people actually starts to understanding it.
You cannot have slow paced combat when you have timed events!

Unless GGG changed it’s core thinking about the game this game would always turn into PoE.

+1

The game isn't what I paid for. Do the right thing, GGG, and let people refund their supporter packs atleast?
