Its actually insane how much better poe 1 is.

funny playing trade for the first time in a long time and joined a couple parties for "muliplayer" vibes, and every time I was amazed at how much more goofy POE1 is than POE2.
its just so.... dumb... I'm struggling to remain enthusiastic which is how I started. The build crafting is the only part thats interesting any more. The gameplay is like a parody of a game. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4.
If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years. |

I played the beta and can say I enjoyed PoE 2 less than PoE 1.
I don't like dodge roll replacing dash. I dislike how skills like shield charge changed. I don't like the currently very limited skills. That will probably get better. PoE 2 is in beta so it has a lot of room to go. Need more time with it but at the moment zero desire to play it. I actually went back to D2 just for a little time. Simpler is better for my near-boomer brain. |

Play POE Beta and then compare it to POE2 EA. This thread is ridiculous.

All I can say is wow, poe feels so dated after trying the "event" last night.
I just can't. |

" LOL! PoE Beta was made by a handful of nerds. PoE 2 Beta is being made by a multi-million dollar company with 100+(?) employees. You think that is a better comparison? The truth is of course somewhere in between. As of now, a PoE 1 event (not a league, mind you) is making the playing field leveled, with close to the same amount of players in each camp (though probably more playing PoE 1, as Chinese players aren't being counted in PoE 1 as they are in PoE 2). That should tell GGG everything they need to know; both games deserves professional support and development. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz#3529 on Feb 21, 2025, 11:09:45 AM

"played open beta and a for a while after 1.0 and while PoE2 of course has better graphics and more up to date combat mechanics etc. I do not think the campaign area design and the campaign in general is better than any version of PoE. PoE 2 sucks in that design aspect, and I doubt they can or would be willing to fix it at this point. |

I really missed;
Awful graphics for most of the game The zoomed in camera Piano flasks Force logged into town every time Can't pause the game, pretty cool Click to move But hey free mtx for lvl 80 so going to grab that real quick |

corporate games are bad.
real game development is an art. PoE 1 was a great game. PoE 2 is a photocopy of a photocopy or an idea of a photocopy of a diluted, tedious corporate moneygrab. i'm looking forward to see what Chris does next. since he has left, it leaves an opening for him to create something new on his own again with a team he chooses. |
