Listening to the community too much is what ruined PoE 1 for many of us.

" Dont want to interrupt your argument with the other guy, but this sentence is totally false. It may have contributed, but gives us zero rights/leverage to anything. If you want that, try buying majority of shares :D And also, a bit offtopic, in case you were right in that reasoning... guys thinking exactly opposite of you in gaming tastes may have contributed as well.

Another reason many players aren't flocking to PoE is that it has been demonized so much as "Zoom-zoom boom-boom garbage," both by a surprising number of people who are merely parroting what they have heard, and even by Jonathan Rogers, the senior game developer for PoE Deuce.
If some of the "recreational visitors" here to play Deuce would just dip a toe into PoE, they might discover they enjoy it. Or not. But at least it is a fully-developed game. =9[.]9= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/

" It was obviously trolling. But let's be honest. The people who like this game are a minority and the numbers don't lie. The game had a new league launch, new class, new ascendancies, 100 new support gems and after 16 days it has less players than LE (which is mediocre at best). All big streamers who pull new players in, left the league after 10 days. Last edited by H3rB1985#0551 on Apr 23, 2025, 4:45:32 PM

" Haha, fair enough :) Yeah, I agree, the majority of people dont like the current state of the game (me neither, although for different reasons as others). I agree on that, noone should deny that fact. IGN: Gonorreitor

It's that minority that made GGG great and allowed them to mess around now with POE2, turning their backs on the people who made all of this possible. It's that minority to whom GGG owes everything, and they chose not to respect them by failing to deliver a decent league (or at least any league) when they were supposed to.
In any case, considering how abandoned POE1 feels, if they release a league in a month, it’ll probably be full of bugs, and it’s expected they won’t even bother fixing them because the priority remains POE2. They’ll release a league “to appease people,” and it’ll be a garbage league (hopefully I’m wrong) that will barely get any support. That would be yet another sign of the brutal neglect POE1 is suffering in favor of a newer and mediocre game (mediocre, in my opinion of course). GGG no longer respects anything, they don’t respect their users, this is the current problem. The money has gone to their heads, and unfortunately, the good numbers from casual POE2 players are giving them the wrong idea, but time always puts everything in its place, that’s for sure.

Im a huge fan of PoE2, first off.
But this recent patch is hot garbage, absolute garbage. Why are loot and currency drops so low? Do you(reader) find it frustrating that you will likely not complete endgame because currency is so scarce you wont be able to trade for any top tier gear? Not to mention its boring not finding divines? I love when they drop, its fun. Campaign is all fine and dandy, but the endgame is a boring slog. Too many complaints to list, but fubgun hit em all spot on, like streamers or not hes absolutely right about the endgame. Im frustrated because i leveled a amith to 60, found out the clear speed is just always going to be super slow. Rolled a huntress to 75, then realized that the deadeye has much better ascendancy skills for a spear than the huntress! Now im plugging away in the endgame and its like a loot desert. I love the difficulty, crank it up and im good, ive played all the dark souls and elden ring on new game+ pick a number, but its just so boring not finding things like divines, perfect jewelers, lvl 20 skill gems, and so on. And for the comment about poe2 should be different than poe2, why should it? If folks loved poe1 give them more, and lets not forget the graphics on poe2 look amazing. This recent patch is trying so hard to be ruthless its just not that fun after the campaign. And if you love the endgame im happy for you, wish it wasnt so boring for me just killing monsters repeatedly and finding nothing. |

" "Dipped a toe" into PoE1 for a decade-odd prior to 2's release. Watched it steadily turn from a game about making interesting and creative build decisions and mingling mechanics in fascinating and fun ways to a game about actually factually literally nothing but Make Moar Biggah Numbah, where any build that couldn't hit 100M pinnacle DPS and also genocide an entire map in less than sixty seconds gets laughed out of existence. Watched the community go from a salty-at-times but fairly reasonable batch of folks to the worst, most toxic, xenophobic, and thoroughly awful batch of people I've ever encountered in gaming. Watched it turn from a game where newer/less experienced or knowledgeable players could still get into the early stages of endgame on a ten or fifteen chaos budget to a game where a fifty-divine budget is considered "beginner-level." Watched PoE1 become a wretched mockery of itself, to the point where I recently uninstalled it entirely. People act like the only folks who enjoy Path of Exile 2 are so-called "tourists" who don't understand the True Draw and Allure of playing a game where clicking to move your character is seen as a Shitty Newb Mistake worthy of derision and scorn, where playing a character moving and generating skills slowly enough that you can understand what's happening on the screen is also considered worthy of derision and scorn, and where knowing the mystery secrets of apparating a thousand divines out of nothingness in a single afternoon is required to progress in a new league. Nah. Maybe some of us who remember what Path of Exile used to be are still hoping PoE2 can stick the landing. Because right now, folks are pushing it further and further into just being PoE1.1, and if that's where it ends up? A game about moving faster than you can physically follow while spawning more attacks, spells and projectiles than you can physically keep track of and just completely ignoring every last single game mechanic the devs have worked up by dint of having just So Much Damage(TM)? Then I guess PoE1.1 gets uninstalled, too. And all of this was for nothing. She/Her
