This is NOT PoE 1 !

It might be not obvious (or pretty obvious), but PoE 2 is not PoE 1 !

This is not 'POE1 with better gfx'

This is not 'POE1 story continued'

This is not 'POE1 remake'

If you playing POE2 as you usually do in POE1 - well, you do it wrong.

You should not rush, you should not focus only on 1 damage type etc - this is another game!

You focus on fire damage? Ok, pretty soon you will face a boss with extreme fire res.

You like minions? Fine, pretty soon you gonna met a boss who will do huge AOEs and your minious would be perma dead. Or boss wont spawn any adds and you wont have a bodies to use your skills

Etc.

----------------------------------
This is DIFFERENT game

It has DIFFERENT concept!

There is even guide articles at WIKI:

It hard to believe for someone, but there is a lot, who DO NOT like the current POE1 state, where the only gameplay you have is "set strictEST filter, buy 200 same maps and run them all in 10 minutes, then sell all you found to RMTers"

I believe, there is a lot, who like aRPGs but dislike this speedster gameplay.

I want being rewarded for completing harder content, but not for doing the same DUMB repetitive stuff, like completing 200 maps per minute!

And I believe POE2 is for ppl like me.

And I really love what I see there!

----------------------------------

You like POE1? Fine - play it! It is still here, it wont be closed and AFAIK it will recieve updates and new seasons still - what a problem?

Official notes about EARLY ACCESS (Steam ver.)
Path of Exile 2 is an Action RPG which is all about making powerful characters and getting epic loot. Finding the right balance for character builds, items and economy is crucial for this genre, and it cannot be achieved without showing the game in its current state to the community.
...
EA would be here as long as needed. We believe it will be at least 6 months
...
We need the community to give us feedback about game balance, the economy, and the overall game. We will be actively monitoring our forums, subreddit and social media and delivering updates continuously throughout the Early Access.

Stop pretending like you bought the FINAL RELEASE

You all KNEW what you are paying for and agreed with everything

And a game with permadead minions is supposed to be funny to a minion user? What's the funny mechanic here? Give up and start a different class?

gonna end very niche game then. i just want click movement be equal to WASD benefits. 10k hour in poe 1 and i love click movement. WASD make game feel slog and tiring.

Op is correct this is not PoE. It is just still using a part of rhe wraeclast land mass as the location of its story. It is not a good game yet though, not even close.

Thank goodnessfor that as I didn't care for poe1. POE2 is so much better.

Honestly, I understand both sides to a degree, but not the hostility that is present here.

I confess that I never liked PoE1. The gameplay of "if you numbers are higher than the boss numbers, you win, if not, go get bigger numbers from enemies with lower numbers than you!" was never that thrilling to me.
The last ARPG I liked was Diablo2, and that was more because I was an edgy Teenager and you could have a big Skeleton army in the game.

I really like PoE2, because it combines the best parts of an ARPG (in my eyes) and adds enough extra stuff to make your gameplay decision in the moment an actual factor.

But I also understand that PoE1 players are not happy that the game, which took most of the attention away from the game that they played, is so different from their old game, because at best it will mean their game only gets half the attention now, most likely even less.


But the people on this forum are all taking this to far. The whole forum is full of people spitting hate towards the other group.
People need to Grow up...

Why it should be the same or semi-same?

There is POE1 - they still can play it!
