Is PoE2 even PoE?

Have you played Ruthless?

Because PoE2 is not like Ruthless

People say it's "like" Ruthless, but it isn't

Ruthless is better because the ascendancies have more impact and your tree as well.

In PoE 2 just gear matters, tree and ascendancy is whatever

Both matters, kinda the same as in PoE1

poe 2 is definitely not like ruthless, but if we see how the game developed with the interviews before EA was released, we can see a lot of ruthless concepts in the game.

even for the early pre release builds that streamers/players were allowed to test. the game play was much more deliberate and player power seemed to be much more controlled.

we can see some of the ruthless features existing in poe2. especially if you played 2 handed mace. playing 2handed tru melee, poe2 felt like a total different game. we really needed to learn boss movesets and play deliberately.

but every other class/weapon was more akin to poe1 zoom zoom.

You cant reinvent the wheel. stop trying.

POE1 is already a 9/10 game. You cant beat it by making your game purposefully inferior.

Yes there are things in POE1 that can be immproved. But your not going to get 10/10 by making your game worse.

I could never get in PoE 1.
Not saying 1 isn't a good game, I didn't play enough of it to judge it.

I really like a lot PoE 2.
Boss fight are amazing and a lot of skills are just so much fun.
It really feels like the first true step forward since Diablo 2 / Sacred.

I think people who prefer PoE1 are very lucky because GGG is still supporting it.

PoE Deuce, or "Path of Dodge Roll," will never be PoE. It is, immutably, its own thing, simply due to that one mechanic. Apparently, having one of a diverse variety of movement skills on every build in PoE was unacceptable to the Devs, so they removed those skills and instead attached a mandatory, one-size-fits-all mechanic to every character. Fantastic solution. =9[.]9=

they had to overhaul all skills cause poe2 was made for joysticks while poe1 was designed for keyboard/mouse.

and they wanted it to be slower so movement decisions matter more and you cannot just cheat the game by having a speedy char.

"Cheat the game?" There's plenty in PoE which doesn't give two hoots in hard vacuum about my speed. =0[.]o=

Lucky? We literally paid for the development of PoE2 while being fed the "2 campaign 1 game" "It's PoE 4.0"

If they stop supporting PoE1 I we literally revolt.

Now go enjoy your """PoE"""2 game, paid by us.

If GGG ever decided to stop supporting PoE1, it would be for their own reasons, whether that’s cost, time, or shifting focus to PoE2. If they make that decision, a revolt isn’t going to change it.

Paid by us? Ironically, PoE2 has already self-financed through all of its early access sales. If anything, PoE1 players should be happy that they’re benefiting from PoE2’s shared content, like assets and other resources, essentially getting a little extra value without paying a cent.
