Endgame is really, REALLY BORING, compared to POE1

First of all i understand the game is in early and we don't have a lot of mechanics end game content we have in POE 1.

But... Travelling through map in POE2 is really boring, you can't choose to do a specific content only, you can't buy specific map layouts and spam you favorite content, u have to find the nodes that have the content u wanna do.

I risk to say that the only thing we, fans of POE wanted is just a optimized, version of POE 1, with new and better engine, graphics(maybe) and performance(priority), and we got a game that is different in MANY, MANY aspects, which make the game feels much different from the experience we get in POE 1.

I risk to say again when GGG launch a new league in POE1 ppl will immediately quit POE2, not because it's in early, but because is worst than POE1

You guys can take CS:GO/CS2 as an example. Valve tried the best to make the FEELING of playing CS2 as close as possible to CS:GO and they failed, ppl there wanted the same thing, new engine bla bla bla.

Now imagine that, if VALVE tried to make the same game but better and failed, GGG NOT TRYING to make the same but better, but different and MAYBE better, it will fail MORE.

Game was fun until i made my endgame build.

To finish this, i complained a lot about the lab in POE1, after ultimatum and sanctum ascendancies, i LOVE LABS.

For whoever is reading this, reply this, so we can maybe force GGG to change some aspects of the game and do better than it is.

I know the purpose of POE2 is to be different from POE1, but u guys from GGG know it will be hard to maintain 2 ACTION RPGS from the same company all running well, soon u guys will have to focus on one of them, and as long as POE1 still in settlers, i think we have an answer for this.

Yep I can't bring myself to keep playing it puts me to sleep. The core issue is that nothing feels good to play.

Hi, unlike those complaining about difficulty all the time.... this is a great topic.

POE2 is boring since 0.1, and that's fine if people have something to work towards.

Except economy is super trash coz of LS builds are so low requirement and super cheap.

Chase items are so cheap and so so boring also.

this league is just terribad... it only serves as a case study of how to not make a game. Anyone who claims player retention is still good is 100% in denial and dealing with copium.

Go farm ubers and T17 off-meta on HC SSF then tell me it is boring again.

I don't think u got that the GAME CORE is fucked, and if u NEED to play in a specific game mode doing a specific content of the game to have fun, something is rly not right.

The big difference from others ARPG to POE, and the proposal of the first game of the franchise was FREEDOM, to build the character the way you will have fun with it, to do the content you wanna do, the boss u wanna do.

And in POE2 I feel really locked. Maybe GGG is planning to separate 2 different type of players in both game, but as a advertising professional it don't seems smart because it can make customers quit to others ARPG. and you really don't need a lot for this to happens.

Is Ghazzy and others popular content creators jump off the game, GGG will have big problems.

Now coming back to the core of the thread it really don't need a lot for the game core of POE2 get fixed, for sure they will have many ideas for this and you guys reading this will suggest too but here is a small to do list:

1: Playerbase of POE DON'T like feel imprisoned to something because of game mechanics so, GGG have to rethink about the map of the endgame, I really don't know why they invented this, but it could disappear or give choices to ppl run maps POE1 or POE2 you can maybe make less cost to run maps like POE2 Removing the need for waystones as an advantage for not being so free to juice your map, in counterparts ppl who like the old style could do it the same or close way, but it will be more costly, as an advantage you could juice and personalize it the way you want.

2: bring lab and other ascendancy methods back maybe a needed mode of simulacrum could be great, lab back, maybe even blight ascendancies.

3: we really need the others currencies. No scouring, regret, alteration is a mess.

4: try to not make a build unfesiable like wardloop on POE1, if ppl wanna play with this and you don't like it or think is UP, NERF IT but not ban it, the lack of builds in POE2 isa mess and no great minions build too for an exemple

5: fix the core of the game, I don't think we need more content before this, clean the house before decorating it, check the structure, repair the walls, paint the walls. After this we can discuss about adding content.

6: hear the community, there are many players and streamers that have greater ideas then GGG, Ghazzy made a video about things to fix too, you guys from GGG should hear and give us feedback about what you guys think about the opinions of the Playerbase and do an archive of it, making clear your opinion about different aspects of the game and the whys. That will make yours life much easier.

There is a lot more to talk, but unless GGG make a meet with the biggest content creators of the community if will keep like a shoot in the darkness.

Ps: sorry grammar and mispelling.

PoE2 endgame is a fancy looking Delve from PoE1 without Steve in it.
