PoE 1 Appreciation thread. Reply with one thing that made you fall in love with it.

OMG you guys are hilarious.

These threads...just - LOL
I started playing poe back in Heist league. I fell in love with it for the same reason I fell in love with Diablo 1 and 2 years prior, replayablitly. Never really knowing what loot might drop at any given moment.
What I love more about poe than Diablo is the wide range of mechanics to choose from. For me, I love Heist and Ritual. Others may hate those two mechanics, thats fine, play Delve and Expedition if you want.
Or make separate atlas skill trees so you can play whatever content you feel like that day.
Some mechanics are more popular than others but rest assured there are a couple that any new player will find fun.
I love pretending poe1 has any sort of engaging gameplay.

I love the heavy trade focus even though trade is ruined by external forces and terrible trading mechanics after 1 week every league.

the ability to play a game that is both single-player and multi-player.

Long story short, we were three friends whow anted to play a game together but with the possibilty to progress each one on our own way because we were not always available at the same times.

PoE1 gives us the opportunity to start together and then progress at our own pace, play different builds as we were interested we were each interested in different classes and skills and help each other to stuff our char and progress against act and endgame bosses.

I'd also like to say a few words about the community, which has long been (and still is for a while) very welcoming and caring overall.


Same story, actually!

Three friends, jumped from discord voice channel from a guild of completely different game (E:D) — into unknown free game just for fun.

Probably crafting a mirror tier quiver in SSF around 3.19. Took like 2 weeks but it was the first time I had planned out a 6 affix item and crafted it from white to a yolo hunter's exalted orb to hit T1 fire multi.

Was also the league where I made an effort to learn Uber fights

I hate I ever liked it. I hate I made it past the website. I wish I were like the entire rest of 99.9% of the gaming spectrum that does not give a shit and are oblivious about poe/poe2.

Every moment, every second was a waste of our lives.

No one can be more glad this shit is over than ME

GGG go broke, get sued, everything.

That's true salt right there. Did you no-life it so hard it ruined your real life or something?
Hmm i just list my top5.

1. Theory Crafting with incredible build diversity.
2. League-Style with gametimepeaks every 3-4 months.
3. Skill-Gem-System
4. Chose-what-you-want-to-play-endgame
5. The everlasting improvement with new metas from time to time.

I especially dont understand why they "gimped" 1+3 in Poe2.
Especially 3 is what made Poe1 so special. Its just such a genious system. The special flair is lost a bit in Poe2. It doesnt feel as satisfying to slot in support gems.

You cared enough to put effort into a game to the point where you started to hate it, unlike me. And unlike me, you didn't put any effort into the important things, like your life, career, health and family. Now you're bitter enough to come here and try to spoil the mood for someone else. Your family would be really proud of you right now eh?
