Game could be fun if faster
|
Keep in mind that the current iteration of this game is the slowest PoE2 will ever be.
Add a few years of powercreep and PoE2 is going to be just as fast, if not faster than PoE1. Plenty builds are already faster and more spammy than Poe1 builds are. Given this obvious trajectory, I really dont understand why the devs are even trying to push combo gameplay. Not that this playstyle in itself was bad or anything like that, it just doesnt fit the reality of the game right now and it´ll only get worse. Thats honestly whats annoying me the most about PoE2. It just doesnt make sense now, it doesnt fit and it wont get any better in the future either. Its just confusing tbh. |

" NO. POE2 is meant to be tactical combo and not POE1. The shove POE1 stuff because alot of things are unfinished, those are placeholder. What annying the most about POE2 is it's way too much like POE1 and need to be reverted back to it's original promised vision. These faster spammy just doesn't make sense for the game they promised and designed for. |

" Shame that they didn't get the memo, and made all the farms speed dependant and clearspeed the best survival tactic. |

Game is fun and amazing.
Wouldnt mind some more base movement speed tough. Monsters on the other hand i'm not sure they need more. You get bully already in the grelwood by wolf draging you all across your screen =) SSF player

" This is where we disagree then. Its not about some random league mechanics, placeholders or not. Its about core mechanics like items (PoE1 affix system), bruteforcing said items either by clearspeed or spam-crafting (also PoE1), moving power from the skilltree towards gear (resulting in items and thus item acquisition being even more important), monster density (was PoE1 but slightly changed now) and monster AI/behavior (PoE1). So the very core of PoE2 is PoE1. Nothing has changed. Why would you expect a different outcome, if you implement the exact same core? All of this rewards speed and speed alone. You wont get anywhere near as much in terms of loot, XP or other means of progression if you go slow. You just shoot yourself in the foot instead - multiple times. I dont care what GGG said or advertised the game as. Doesnt matter. "Ignore what they say, observe what they do" Goes for anything in life tbh and applies here as well. The game rewards speed exponentially more than anything else. Consequently players will go for that and abandon everything else. This right there is the core issue plagueing this game. |

" Bingo. Sometimes it feels like the PoE 2 community is divided between realists, idealists and power farmer-div/h types. A whole lot of cognitive dissonance to be had here. |

" The plague is the people still clinging to that 5 year old showcase video and the promise of a vision that completely goes agains't the core you mentionned. The cure is to give us the speed and make it clear to every single player without the slightest shadow of a doubt that this is, was, and will always be the way foward so that we can finally put to rest the asbolute sheer delusions that this game should be slower. It absolutely shouln't be slower. The current movement speed is slow as fuck and absolute trash. They need to undo the nerfs they made to movement speed with 0.4 and bring back the speed of 0.3 They should make a video, a public statement and make it clear that this game is built to reward speed. They really underestimate the animosity some people are cultivating toward their company by not clarifying this. If they want to make the game slower, please I really need to know now so I can delete my account and move on. Last edited by Oinkaments#6390 on Feb 22, 2026, 8:51:21 PM

Nah.
Can play POE1 if you want all the crazy zoom Or the few builds here and there that still do it in EA, cant imagine they will last though. As they shouldnt. Mash the clean
