PoE 1

poe1 is just bad tbh. totem of the past.
I get why people are attached to it tho, it's nostalgic for them.

Best solution would be to keep poe1 in a life-support mode of continuous league loop (no updates).
And focus the resources on poe2 fully.

I have likely 10k+hrs in poe1 since 2012. I'm a Grandmaster supporter. I love that game.

I can't go back lol...

Maybe if it gets WASD.

PoE2 has the bones to blow it out of the water and there's enough to explore that I haven't run out of things to learn or try yet.

I'm so excited for the dagger + spear combos, I can't wait! Also, it's amazing to me to think that this game will feature shapeshifting.

Actually I feel the same. Also this poe1 league is extremely zoomy and speedy with shittons of lightspeed mobs and everything.

Tough Im alone here from my entire guild (around 20 players), they are enjoying playing PoE1 and didn't last in PoE2 for week when 0.3 released so won't call poe1 a dead game. Its just different. And I honestly like its being different and hopefully it will be maintained as such and these games will proceed developing in different directions.
I expect big nerfs and overall slowdown in poe2 in next patches to make combat more distinct and "engaging" and give much more clarity.

I doubt that would happen, unless they overhaul the entire endgame of poe 2 and stop porting monster from poe 1 like breach and delirium then perhaps it won’t be zoom zoom, but doing so require tons of work and time while they are saying that they’ll deliver new league in a timely cycle regardless of achieving what they promised or not.

True, it would also piss off the POE 1 crowd again, as the vast majority of them all want the mindless hyper fast gameplay. There really is a stark contrast between the core POE 1 audience and the core POE 2 audience. They just seem to like and be interested in completely different things.

Yes, but the PoE1 crowd already donated in PoE1, so they really need to attract the other side of the pie. At least i hope so :)

I believe this is the main problem, because 3D modeling, rigging, porting, etc., takes a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, you won't just end up with this output; you'll also spend a lot of time fixing things that never existed before. So, unless GGG integrates AI tools into their games to speed up development (which is a religious matter for artists these days, and for logical reasons, it's very frustrating), I don't think GGG will be able to build a well-functioning, complex game with new elements in a short time.

However, we all know that the game was sold in its early alpha phase, labeled as a beta, with almost half of the main content missing. This suggests to me that they need more money than ever, which also explains why some bald guys leave home immediately when things get tough. This is how it looks from here, may or may not be true at all. I hope they all find what they're looking for and find happiness in the future.

Thanks again for your replies. Good to see I'm not alone.
