PoE 2 becoming a totally seperate game from PoE 1 is absolutely brilliant!

PoE2 wont be out for yrs!!! prepare yourselfs ahaha..only reason they gave a beta date was because of D4!!!

" The pool should be larger - PoE2 should attract a whole lot of new people, as well as returning souls who don't really play PoE1 anymore. The increase in total players is likely going to elevate Poe1 playerbase to never before seen heights. | |

I have to agree with the OP, separating the two games is not only smart, from a practical perspective it's virtually a necessity. Now PoE I can continue on its own path while PoE II is free to grow in any direction it needs to. Bravo GGG.

" If GGG weren't confident of a possible release window they wouldn't have given a very specific date for the closed beta, which has already been confirmed to last for 1 league (3 months) | |

" Well this change puts many people in a conundrum. If someone does not like PoE2 and they are worried about PoE1 getting relevant updates and love, wouldn't that make many people hesitant to buy supporter packs or MTX? Taking myself as an example, I don't think I'll be giving GGG any money at least until after the official launch of PoE2. I didn't care for most of what was showed about PoE2, which was exponentially aggravated by the news they will be separate games. I do not want my support for one game to prop up the other. I'd be more comfortable if there was a guarantee they'd both get the proper love and attention, but I just don't see that happening unless the majority of the player base barely touches the sequel. |

" Agreed. When they announced PoE2 years ago being an extension of PoE1, that was truly exciting, something big to look forward to and continuing to buying supporter packs felt natural. N ow that PoE2 is a completely disjoint title, they've indirectly confirmed that PoE1 is in maintenance mode, and has been for the last few years proven by the minimal effort league content provisioned by their small team of staff. Exilecon has left me puzzled and disappointed. PoE2 visuals looks amazing but gameplay looks like it's taken a huge step back into the classic 90's era. Gold, mana/heatlh flasks, what is that, a Diablo 1 clone? I know, it's more like Dark Souls since there's rolling and when you die you spawn a the beginning of the level.
