My feedback about poe 2 - and why GGG should stick only with poe 1 and forget about poe 2
|
Having completed maps T15, two citadels, I have formed my feedback on poe 2:
About the acts: Although we only have half of them, they are actually ok, the problem is that sometimes we don't find ideal equipment, and as a result we suffer a lot (and waste a lot of time) with the bosses. Now as the first time it's cool, but I can't see myself doing all the new acts again. About the endgame: Let's start with the good parts, since there are few. The look is beautiful, the atlas is beautiful, and despite being quite time consuming, the way to use the towers is actually ok, considering that it can be expanded. The songs are good (the blooming field music is spectacular). But it's not just beauty that love persists... 1 portal mechanic: This was by far one of GGG's biggest mistakes and I have no idea why they insist on this meaningless mechanic. When you die you lose 10% of experience, all map mechanics, bonuses, loot and everything else on the map. What is this for? Just the experience penalty as it was in poe 1 is fine. If we want to lose something, let's play hardcore. If we are in softcore we can die, yes, and without losing everything like we lost now. Dying in poe 1 may irritate me a little but it encourages me to improve the build. Dying in POE 2 makes me want to delete the game and not give GGG another penny (and yes, I will never spend a penny on you again). Leagues: Here I will be briefer. Expedition: Totally useless, doesn't give any rewards, but at least they said they will improve maybe in 2072. Breach: It's the most ok so far, the monsters are interesting, and it's a shame that we only have 1 boss of them in the endgame. Ritual: Due to the useless mechanics of 1 portal, I just step away, since most of the time the map layout makes you share the same space with dozens of monsters and then... death is certain. Map layout: There are some good ones, but I don't understand why all the maps are so huge. And there are many horrible layouts, but one of them deserves to be highlighted: Vaal factory. This map deserves to be deleted from the game. Giant, ugly, dark map, full of absurd monsters, dead ends and things I haven't yet identified that make me get stuck while the monsters surround me and kill me. There is a lot to improve on the maps. I could also talk about the terrible balance, about things that were fixed years ago in poe 1 and are now broken again, about many things here, but my final feedback is this: Put this look in poe 1, some songs in there, some monsters and bosses in there, and I will never touch poe 2 again. What was done was a massive atrocity to the game. Zuletzt angestoßen am 04.02.2025, 05:00:51

" Except he's right. Spot fucking on right. Although, there ain't going to be no PoE1 to go back to thanks to this new thing that has no roadmap |
|
" GGG never had roadmaps. Roadmaps are garbage and do not let developers actively react to feedback. Stop trying to push shitty practices from other companies on to GGG. And they didn't say PoE1 is no longer developed, only that they have to temporarily move developers to PoE2 until it's fixed. If you're saying that PoE1 can't exist without constant life support of a new content releases then you just admit that PoE1 is a garbage game, because plenty of game existed for decades without any new content and there were still plenty of players. |
|
" Except that's not how 1 works and never has. New content, new league, every 3-4 months. No one will play 1 or 2 without leagues slick. Same thing for 2 bubba I'm sorry you never played or 1 or failed at it, whatever, but it's been one of, if not the best, ARPGs, your know-nothing hatred for it notwithstanding. |

I don't think PoE2 will be allowed to fail if for no other reason that too many heads would roll and nobody that likes their head attached would act in any other way.
What the past 7 months implies though is that WE [both the PoE1 and PoE2 communities] better make PoE2 the best we possibly can because there's a risk that GGG can't successfully manage both. |

The game has huge potential to be more popular than POE 1.
I hope POE 2 doesnt dip in players to 20k or something like that. They need to bring some changes asap. True about expeditions. I would remove them from POE 2, they just take up space. Zuletzt bearbeitet von SacredChimes#1176 um 02.02.2025, 18:20:23

The reason that PoE2 was split off from PoE was because PoE doesn't have a future.
The 7-8k population it settles to after each new league is not going to pay their paychecks or bills. Worse, PoE is (according to GGG themselves) a mishmash of conflicting and bloated systems which is preventing new players, which they DESPERATELY need, from getting into and staying with the game. That's why they did it. PoE is not sustainable. |

GGG needs to do themselves a massive favor, come out and tell everyone they will not be developing PoE1 anymore and ONLY focus on PoE2. I just don’t understand this nonsense around another season. They’ve already for the most part came out and said they were full of shit about being able to have another league by late January. Why prolong the inevitable even more?

Yes let the game company throw all that money, hard work and expectations of the new players away.
let go of the 300000+ players that got into it... On steam alone currently there are 102,903 players... Do you even hear yourself? This is Arkham inmate level of detached from reality... |
