I just realized that

Path of Exile 2 to Path of Exile is

what Diablo III was to Diablo II

a dumbed down, casual version without any complexity, with overnerfs and mandatory balanced builds, with worse combat

which is ironic, given that Poe Project was created as continuation of Diablo II because Chris didn't like Diablo III

but I guess Path of Exile will never be surpassed, you just need to make too much content and complexity to compete with it

Last Epoch, Titan Quest 2 are all games for a week

so our only hope is that Tencent doesn't axe Path of Exile

POE was in development well before D3 was launched. 2008 or something....

Bro TQ2 has potentional to be an astonishing game. But yea its not early access yet.
It's a pretty shit take to compare a released title with a beta one. Let's compare when they fully release PoE2.

If you listen to jonathan in interviews they'd already release the game as it is if players were happy, if you still expect any crazy changes you are very naive.
0.3 might be the biggest set of changes we'll get before full release
I didn't really like D2 or D3... yet I like POE2. So from my subjective experience that seems like an odd comparison to make.
Saying PoE1 is better in combat to PoE2 is next level delusional.

It is not zoomies as fuck, but it is smooth, somewhat challenging.

In first title you absolutely abolish any map by spamming all the projectiles in the world to clear whole map from standing position, how is that good combat?
