POLL: Did Exilecon increase or decrease your overall hype for POE and POE 2?

Not gonna lie they dropped the ball when it comes to release date of PoE2, putting all those teasers before Exilecon only to showcase some low lvl, overtuned graphics showcase with no skill tree or links or even gear, act gameplay on the actual Exilecon itself was like a spit in the face, one would understand if they ALSO showcased a t16 map with some bonkers build someone made in the dev team but no... probably because its not even close to ready , hence the disaster year long for just a beta.


As i watched the reveal hype went up and up and up then crashed after seeing 7th June 2024 BETA screen :D

But im sure game itself will be amazing once its out, as old school PoE 1 player more methodical gameplay is more than welcome than current paritcipation trophy mentality of pressing 1 button to clear 3 screens away.


TLDR: very tiny increase instead of a massive one only because release date is no where in sight

Decrease.

Not only was I not excited by PoE 2 but I was effectively informed that PoE 1 will hemorrhage players thanks to GGG splitting the community.

I feel like I've lost 2 games in a scenario where the 1 game I've spent over 10,000 hours playing was supposed to be getting a huge update.

Very respectable amount of hours and well said.

Increase for poe 1 - now we know nothing about their plans. Mystery is a little fun(for awhile) and then poe is currently fun as hell I just want more crafting in the game for ssf....

Insanely decrease for poe 2 - The combat looked slow, the changing of the trade system seems really foolish, AN rares running around with 3 mods at level 40..., Whoever is over there doing poe 2 balance please stay on poe 2 and not poe 1. I like my exp.

what a b8 of a thread. let it die already

Why would you want a thread that's got a lot of support for your side of the current discussion to die?

I don't get it, Maybe its just down to we each see this thread through a different lense and even though we're looking at the same thing the result is entirely different.

he doesnt like it when players voice out that they dislike how poe2 is turning it out to be or when players voice out they're not happy for the separation of poe1 and 2.

same energy with r/d4 where you arent supposed to complain about the game. if you do, you're a whiner.

mhm, you might want to check out my post history which is filled with criticism of this game. The Exilecon is exactly what changed my perception on the matter quite drastically.

The OP in not a poll. data isn't displayed (unless there is an undisclosed deadline). Looks like author put it out for ppl to argue over things, and since no-one here seems to adhere to the OP premise, the b8 is a success.

If I'm in fact wrong, and this gonna get tallied- count me as 'strongly increased'

I mean probably not lol but nothing's stopping someone from doing a count at some reasonable cutoff point.
