You're making an ARPG in 2025, but you're stuck in 1999

Reading through this thread I still cant wrap my head around how a chunk of this playerbase feels literally threatened by any possible introduced to the games mechanics.
"It's good this way because it's always been this way, go away now". As if suffering through the tedious inventory somehow makes you superior to somebody that might actually like to enjoy the combat instead of letting the game turn into a sidejob. And your literaly only argument to counter ANY improvement is to make comparison to mobile games and entitlement. You have no factual arguments how lets say the ability to sort your inventory would make the game worse. Talk about being stuck in the past. Here's a hint, wanting to hanging on to all these outdated mechanics doesnt make you "better", it just makes you a sad old man sitting on the porch yelling at the kids having fun in front of him. |

" You didn't understood the other poster's words at all. You as a zoomer have such twisted taste that anything that isn't modern slop designed to addict you is immediately "literally unplayable". Here's a hint, it makes you akin to a child that was only fed in McDonald's up to this point and when presented with an actual meal, you can't handle it. |

" Naw, the OP is right to question things. Your response is just the intellectually lazy jaded response of somebody who is too entrenched to think "there has to be a better way". Add to that your dumb examples to prove a point (what point I'll leave to the audience) y I hAvE tO pLaY tHe GaMe!?" So witty. So original. GGG have the once in a lifetime opportunity here to revisit systems that are missing the mark and delete or improve. They are squandering it. I've yet to see anything in POE2 that diverges meaningfully from POE1. |

I agree with OP on all points.
The list COULD go on and on. We, as the PoE1 players who did play it from the start (at least I did), were hoping that PoE2 will be like.. you know, PoE1 BUT BETTER??? Then we got.. well.. this. Crafting is butchered. Rolling in the dirt like a level 1 townguard 99% of the time, split second of DPS, back to rolling. Oh so fuuuunnnn.... I'll just stick to one-shotting bosses, ty. Mana is hilarious by the way. You play mana-stacker with mind over matter, a node on a passive tree that seems legit - guess what? Deal with 600-ish mana-per-use flask - the most you'll get from a normal one. You should get the ONLY unique mana flask in the game for 23-26 divs cause it literally gives you enough mana to play on bosses. Otherwise - pray your flask doesn't run out and invest in passive flaks nodes (the broke loser way). Last edited by galloper#2354 on Jan 11, 2025, 6:57:00 AM

Gen X here and the zoomers are correct. There are a lot of things wrong with modern games, but none of the things the OP mentioned are any of them.

Honestly i would enjoy it if more games were stuck in 1999.
Gamedesign from my point of view is at an all time low, the ammount of copy-paste mechanics and games and similar games in general is annoying. I really like when games are different - its perfectly fine if you dont like every aspect. Dont get me wrong - i even like Diablo 4 - at least until the endgame - but that doesnt mean i would want POE2 and D4 to be more similar - to be honest the more different they are - the better. Some of the points i agree with - like mapsize etc. - but that has nothing todo with ARPG 2025 vs 1999. Last edited by _N0ctus_#6387 on Jan 11, 2025, 8:08:15 AM

" Yeah the thread is sort of pointless since the Title has almost nothing to do with its content. 90% of the things the OP points out are issues - but they have nothing todo with modern or old gamedesign. The only thing the title does is emotionalizing the debate for no reason and ruining the discussion about the valid points the OP made. Last edited by _N0ctus_#6387 on Jan 11, 2025, 8:11:25 AM

Game is great but developers are not. They are ruining the fun for everyone for some reason, abandoning the game for 3 weeks was a cherry on top. Who would abandon their games for 3 weeks after releasing it and millions of people playing it.
There are so many companies would wish to be them, they would never go on vacation this long, they would work on the game. They ruined the fun, if they don't introduce a new content with this upcoming patch and a new optional league launch, this game will be wasted. They had to release this game on January if vacation was a must. Last edited by Kage#1250 on Jan 11, 2025, 8:16:27 AM

" Agree with everything 100%. I would also add, why are the devs using forum with so many missing functionality that a Discord or subreddit would have by default? It’s time to leave the 90s in the past, GGG. You’re missing 20 years of user experience improvements for absolutely no reason. Last edited by Sandcubicle#5745 on Jan 11, 2025, 8:25:43 AM
