We won't be able to play our PoE 1 Standard characters on PoE 2?

As far as I remember the idea then was that you'd pick between playing PoE1 or 2 campaign when creating a new character and then the maps endgame would be the same. So I don't think you would have been able to go through PoE2 content on existing characters even if they stuck to the original plan since presumably you already went through PoE1 campaign on them.

Can't there be some compromise so we can still play our PoE 1 characters we worked on for PoE 2?

Edit:
Maybe it makes sense on second thought if the pacing of PoE 2 is completely different and not as fast but it feels odd not being able to experience PoE 2 with previous characters we've made.

They changed their minds, at the time 2019 they thought they could do it but realized, no to much work to fix poe1.

mtx be transferable though, so something

When I heard things weren't going to transfer I thought they were having a change of heart on the MTX Transferring and I started getting ticked off! PoE1's toons not being playable tho no big

Its not possible since they are 2 separete games. Original plan changed few years ago. At this point its willfull ignorance if you didnt know. Even going with the original plan you wouldnt be able to play PoE2 with old characters. It was supposed to be different campaign and shared endgame. Since you already finished campaign you would have to make new character anyway. You were never meant to be able to play old characters in PoE2.

If you want to play PoE1 than play PoE1.

That would completely break the game.

Break the economy.

Break the endgame.

Break all the new changes.

Break everything.

That's a really odd question

They're making a masterpiece for you to go fresh and feel the beaty, savor it

Bro… I can’t even carry over my mtx from PlayStation. The fact that players are asking for entire characters is just astonishing. I literally LOST everything because ggg won’t transfer my PSN mtx.

Blame Sony for that, not GGG

How do you theorize this would even work? Skills are different, classes are different, trees are different, economy is different. How would your PoE1 character with different everything exist in PoE2 unless they made PoE2 just MORE PoE1 which is what a lot of people wanted. They can't change a thing if they have to make your characters exist untouched in the new game. Things end, play a new character, drop another massive amount of hours, move on.
