No idea why people feel the need to let everyone know that they have uninstalled something.

Nobody cares what's on your hard drive.

I care. Is good to know someone else did what I'm dueling on doing right now.

you people need to stop trying to say POE1 players are angry because its not the same game...

most of you literaly never even played POE1 deep endgame and expect to have a fresh start in poe2. and most of you havent even reached endgame yet and dont understand what people are saying.


all of you failed to realised only 3 people in the world liked "Ruthless" "Ultimatum" and "sanctum"

now the whole game is based on these things and were all forced in it. as if Ruthless couldnt of been a "On Off" option on character select screen

after 10 years of supports and waiting for a new continuation of the game with everything it was praised for. and the desapointment is leaking all over ggg forums, youtube, redit

so who are you to talk back ?

it will never end. period. unless they change stuff dramatically.

my self as well will not give another dime. and ive supported alot.

so stop trying to defend anything here... the new direction is the TOTAL contrary to expectation and promises and the entire forums proves it. so, sorry if the 100's of posts like the OP's desapoints you. but hes right

stop reading forums, try to finish your act 2, get to endgame, then youll understand !

btw am not talking about the bugs and unworking stuff here since its early aceess we get it... am talking about the core gameplay and its mechanics

I haven't played PoE1 in like 8 years. I don't even particularly like PoE1, it's overly bloated. I enjoyed it back when you could do a few maps without 15 NPCs popping up with different optional quests. PoE1 has been destroyed for a while.

PoE2 slowed things down, but in the wrong way. Making all monsters have 2-3 the move speed of the player is the opposite of a power fantasy. They use swarming monsters with fast move speed to distract the player from the fact that none of the monsters are particularly interesting.

The good news it is early access, but there is no way in heck I'm touching this hot pile of s... for another year at least. So many things wrong with it it's easier to do a list of the things they get right.

LIST OF THINGS POE 2 GOT RIGHT:

1) Still figuring this one out.

You are full of L takes aren't ya champ

Been playing Grim Dawn lately.
Feels great after POE2.

And Grim Dawn isn't some magical ARPG. It's just a much better game.
Take from that what you want.

I find the game really fun, and would probably play another 100 hours with zero updates.

Imagine buying into early access beta expecting a fully completed and optimized game. Clearly the early access part seems to go amiss from certain people. They opened the beta up to those that wanted to buy into it so they can get player feedback and instead quite a few for some reason believe the game is a fully polished gem.

Games and systems like this aren't for you brother man, you need to stick with call of duty or something else.

Wild that a post from 3 days after early access started has so much traction.

I uninstalled the game 2 days ago and it was the best decision I could made for properly enjoying these holidays.

Now I spend my spare time paying occasionally to PoE1 (trying to get the 19th achievement in Settlers), discovering other games and working, so I can have enough free time in a future for playing this "product" (if it is fixed).

No more frustrating moments, no more wasting my time and life lying to myself aND thinking "the next waystone will have better drop"

Only diehard streamer fans and players who have dissolved their brains playing TikTok videos could enjoy this game in its current state.

Also...
The graphics are great, but some things you can't just 'produce' by strongarming money into them. PoE 2 has no soul or lore at all. The main female explorer character whose name is so forgettable I already forgot it, if you zoom in, has a 'Yankee Doodle Dandy' metal helm with 3 huge feathers shoved inside of it under the metal. That's not lore, that's just goofy.

Act 3 is literally Act 2 from PoE 1 copy pasted and changed a little. I laughed out loud when I realized I was basically in Vaal Pyramids except laid flat down with the Soul Stones part.

1. Person that can't make a build that does a map in under 30 minutes claims TikTok brain rot is infecting the people making functioning builds? Sure...

2. PoE2 has no soul or lore. If you're talking about Alva as the "main female explorer character" then LOL. She's all over the lore and had an entire PoE1 season themed around her. Just because your "TikTok brain rot" has fucked up your memory doesn't make it a bad game.

3. And here's the big ROFL. "Look at me knowing all about PoE 1 when I just admitted to not even knowing the name of one of the bigger lore characters"

Absolutely. Fuck. Right. Off.
