Early Access Feedback - Whats next in POE2 ? - Forum

" You've probably noticed the split in the community: people that want another POE 1, and people that want a new game with a new direction. Well, as it seems now GGG has no idea which side to pick I'm afraid they knew that right from the start. The idea was to attract those who didn't like POE1 as well as many new players without big arpg experience (attract with modern graphics, animations, etc) and then turn it into POE1 eventually. Those who will stay - will stay, good. Those who won't, well, they won't then. And POE1 audience will all be there anyway. POE1 will be shut down (or will be left in limbo-mode like Diablo 3 where seasons keep changing taken from the pool of old seasons) because everything will migrate to POE2. And this already happens. Just look, we have already 5 league stuff from POE1 and zero unique POE2 league. But in the end they will make new leagues only for POE2 with larger playerbase. Profit.

Because most of those poeple have no real life so they live inside video games and take everything about them personally. Quite sad imo.

Even better - those who criticize the game want it to improve and can be constructive. What the people whose only goal is to put down criticism actually achieve?

Feeling like big boys who can handle the imaginary difficulty I'm not talking about people who come with constructive feedback. Quite the opposite - I'm talking about people who just need to reflect how much they dislike the game without being constructive at all. Those people often linger on this forum just to be negative which is not very helpful imo.	Posted by Sakanabi#6664 on Jan 30, 2026, 2:12:12 AM Quote this Post
Chris Wolcen is putting out more updates on his MTG collection than GGG on their new game Crazy times	Posted by Schranzfranz#4329 on Jan 30, 2026, 4:58:18 AM Quote this Post

My answer to Sakanabi's question is: some people have no idea how hard it is to create something. They think it is the same as having an idea. The reality is that creation is Idea + Engineering, and the engineering can take months, and shows you all the ways your initial idea was incomplete. People who don't understand engineering will sometimes turn it into a magical Abuse step: "GGG implemented it this way because they hate the players." 0.4 SSF: Gemling Minions: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/DistributedAutomaton-5739/character/CrystalController 0.3 SSF: Evasion-only melee challenge character: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/119e9	Posted by DistributedAutomaton#5739 on Jan 30, 2026, 7:31:54 AM Quote this Post
" lupasvasile#5385 wrote: All points to failure. It all depends on how they redesign the end game. Will POE 2 be its own game or just a reskin of POE 1? Either way, GGG really disappointed with POE 2 overall. Why do they focus on endgame instead of fixing the game crashes and the abysmal performance and visual clarity? I don't get it...
