From what we've seen so far, do you feel you're going to stay with PoE1 or move to PoE2?

I'm definitely mainly staying with PoE1. I don't play Trade anymore and I find PoE2 in the endgame, as an SSF player, is incredibly boring.

Once PoE2 has proper crafting I might revisit it, but until then I'm not touching it anymore.

It's not even remotely about zooming and going fast (Monks in PoE2 play pretty much like a PoE1 meta build), it's about the agency I have as a player to build the character I want through my own efforts, not waiting for Lady Luck to gift me with a perfect instance of RNG so I can slam a good item.

The endgame mapping loop also feels pretty dull. It's more akin to Last Epoch monoliths than PoE1 maps.

PoE2 obviously has potential, but it's a few years off being even close to PoE1 for me.

yeah only poe 1

waiting for a league similar fun that was scourge for me.
that league mechanic gave so much adrenalin and dopamine rush with epic music in the background.
a fun league like that the only thing that can make me pay for poe 1 ever again. I dont even care the loot or the shiny graphics. I only care about the game loop if its fun or not.

There is no doubt that my desire is to remain in POE 1, but with an annual league that is currently reality I will not play Poe 1 or 2 but another game.

Yeah, Monster Hunter Wilds it is. Easily 2-3k hours grind ahead with monthly updated content.

When GGG launches a new league I would play it, but PoE2 is so far off from what I consider to be fun or enjoyable that I doubt it will be ever a game I like.

for me , here is the plan : POE 1 forever and poe 2 as filler between leagues.
