Just looking at PoE is tiresome. Can't wait for PoE 2 to bring some fresh air.

I got tired of farming at lvl 92, reached t16 maps. I can run them with less rippy mods but I still die randomly to stuff like group of casters all fireing their projectiles together and similar shit.

I got fairly good stuff for before they buffed stats of all monsters 1+ year ago so to keep their biggest no lifers playing 1 day extra (and screwing everyone else) but not good for current shitty game.

Kalgur stuff ended up as disappointment, again balanced around biggest no lifers with pathetic gold amount you get per map run. They should have lets us get gold slowly while not playing. Later I forced myself to do 5 maps per day and that got me almost nothing, I could not even upgrade shit anymore. Also there is nothing interesting about whole Kalgur thing, it changed nothing about the game. At least with stuff like delve you could specialize yourself to spend 90% of time delving if you wanted to.

It changed nothing about the game because the game didn't need any changing, base game is probably in the best state it has ever been.
Also skill issue.

Mate, just play nova of frostbolt, it's a very powerful build that requires zero aiming, no gear apart from an unique head that drops fairly often and can do anything basically with 0 investment or game knowledge (just stack cast speed / sp / mana)

I've seen it, it is eye cancer gameplay. Also not melee which was supposed to be theme of this league.

Could care less about Soulslike bosses. GGG really love to put that in the game don't they.
We had souls like bosses since D2. I doubt many people could on first try facetank or outdps most of the Act bosses starting with Act2 boss. And certainly trying to facetank Diablo in Act 4 lead to death or usage of all healing potions fast so you needed to run away to get more.

I remember fighting Duriel by running in circles and Diablo by dodging all his fire attacks and trying to hit him when I could.

GGG just took that concept and made bosses in PoE and now even more in PoE2

Fuck Path of Exile 1

Once PoE2 comes out I will not miss PoE1 even 1%

Both of you will get filtered by the first act of PoE2.
And Zizaran will get filtered because too many buttons to press.

I was not filtered by closed beta PoE that was slow and deadly. Where rhoas in mud flats could stun lock you to death and that side area with ice boss could murder you easily of you didn't dodge his attacks. Jail boss could two shot you and trying to fight merveil without 50+ % cold resist was futile.
And act2 boss rocks from ceiling would two shot any character.

Yet you're filtered by current PoE where you can have great defenses for very little investment.

Because it is a zoom zoom game now and boring. Having "great defenses" means having better/faster offense than your enemy and you are supposed to clear maps in 2 minutes while playing flask piano or you are playing wrong.

It is nothing like the PoE I started playing and felt in love with.
PoE2 does seem to be similar to that. Whole game will be slower because even normal enemies can kill you fast no matter your build so drops and whole game will be adjusted for that. PoE1 was adjusted for clearing maps in 2 minutes.

Can you show me on the doll where the bad people forced you to "clear maps in 2 minutes"? Go play Ruthless, because that is literally the PoE experience you want.
Also, flask piano? You know we've had flask enchantments for 3 years now, right? The only flask I press is the life flask and that's less than once per map on average.

Imagine thinking this sort of stuff will not be in PoE2.
Path of Exile 2's development is fueled purely out of spite and hatred of what PoE1 has become, and it required developing a whole separate game to address these problems. That's the reason they split them instead of doing the whole two campaigns one shared endgame concept. I highly doubt PoE2 will have these issues anytime soon, unless GGG doesn't have the fortitude to tell the zoom zoomers to stay in their fucking containment game.

^Nice fanfic :lol:
I'll just copy this from another thread cause it fits like a glove
The focus on coop was clearly a crutch to use "fun with friends" to attempt to hide the uninspired game at its core. American Kiwi game industry is so hopeless now they can't even match a mindless mid budget action game from 2011 2013

Bro should've hit spacebar and rolled away within 0.1 seconds, his fault.
Actually, he should've read the fucking monster mods. Zizaran dying to not reading? That never happened before.
