PoE2 stealing all the air in the room right now. They know the cannot delay a ... what is it now, 5th time?

at least they take their time with all the delays to deliver something decent and don't do the same mistake as blizzard with D4 to sell a rushed alpha product as finished game lol

4 months league do kinda suck and some events would be nice to fill the time.
but it's kinda reasonable that they also don't have the time for those but it is what it is in the end. There are lot's of other decent games to play in the meantime after all.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
The worst part is the timing and what else isn't yet on the market. There's three to four upcoming games around late 2024 to 2025 that I'm hopeful for, and all it takes one of them to do well until whatever else that'll arrive by 2030.

Having two filler or one main game is always better than none. 2013-2023 was the worst decade to be a veteran gamer, but the best for an indie company like GGG to achieve what they did with Path of Exile.

Games will have to continue evolving to meet the demand of the growing veteran audience. The type of games that were pumped in the market from 2010-2020 will have to be a lot more than just modern graphics to retain interest.

So true in many cases.
Lot's of bait games with just fancy graphic but little to nothing to offer in terms of gameplay or content.
I really do miss the old mmorpgs which had something for everyone to offer, but nowadays most games only cater the needs of the newcomer gamer with everything getting dumbed down and simplified as far as possible. Only a very few games actually do try to offer content for both "casuals" and veterans who like more complexity and long lasting long term goals.

I have no idea what universe you are living in. GGG has been serving up undercooked leagues forever. The "what we are working on" posts have often been infamous.

Point is that GGG is absolutely not known for bug free, polished leagues. It's quite the opposite. D4, while one could argue was bland at launch, is for the most part, a clean, polished, finished game. Debate if you will on substance and what subsequent seasons mean to you, but lets not begin with the comparisons of PoE on launch in 2013 and D4 launch ten years later. That's laughable.

With PoE2, the development creep was so significant they had to abandon PoE1. It's been 5 fucking years lol. I guess now it's a "new game", but this beta in November better be beyond reproach or players will rightly wonder what has been happening since 2019.

My experience tells me that the PoE2 beta is going to be messy, full of bugs, performance issues, scaling problems, snapshotting, PoE1 MTX transfer nightmares, 3rd party tools issues, and much more. We will see who is talking about a finished product then good sir. Should be VERY interesting to see the response from the PoE Defense Force if that comes to pass.

For me personally, if I had a choice:

1. PoE 2 beta this year and 4-month empty and full of bugs leagues, without Expansions, with a constant FPS decrease

or

2. PoE 2 in 2-3 or more years, but with decent attention to PoE 1, 3-month leagues, Expansions once a year and normal optimization

then I would definitely choose the second option.

I just want to play the game I love. I don't care about PoE 2 right now.

Even if all those listed issues happen it's going to be a more flawless release than D4 was with all its own issues and lacking content, without doubts.

It's going to be just another L for D4, which is not really a accomplishment anymore at all as blizzard gives their own game a big L at all times.
The beta of PoE2 will just make it even more obvious of how bad D4 is lol

I bet some D4 players are already in fear about the release of the beta, which is honestly not hard to see with how much specific individuals gush up about their sick poor Diablo 4 patches while they also try to bad talk other products in their corresponding forums while not even playing said products lol

You've been proven wrong on this forum so many times regarding D4 as topic, and even other topics about PoE, so don't bother to come up with a 10 page essay of your glorious game and why it's good or better than PoE, everyone's going to take it with a grain of salt anyways by now.

Lol proven wrong on what? An opinion on D4? Thats not how that works. You don't even know the difference between content and tech issues in a game apparently.

Anyways I'm not going for the "D4 bad" rage bait angle. Nice try tho. We will see soon enough how well GGG has been cooking on PoE2. Unless it gets delayed again.

some people on this forum are frustratingly extra biased. i've learned to identify and not to get too annoyed with them.

their mind is already made up. you have your opinion, he has his. we move on.

d4 was bad but now is good.

when poe2 comes out they will exist parallel to each other. some players would prefer 1 over another. both will prosper.
