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

Actually happy to get to 80 in this event, get the free mtx, and log off.

Probably move to PoE2, but it's a close call. I like things about both. I think PoE1 has better writing, but PoE2 has a more fun endgame system.

What?

I mean, I completely understand that some people prefer PoE 2 over PoE 1, even though I think PoE 1 is the superior game when it comes to everything, except presentation.

Anyhow, I REALL(!) struggle to find a single positive word about PoE 2's endgame, and think the whole system needs to be scrapped and build up from the ground.

We are all different, I suppose :)

don't poe1 anymore
POE 2 is just copy paste with better graphics with no endgame

im expecting poe2 content drop in about 5-6weeks.

might have a better idea by then.

poe 2 dont have RF build, maps are tunnels just like in D4 its awfull!

I'm playing POE2 right now and its been years since I did POE1. In POE1 I always just did hardcore league as a "see how far you can go" sort of deal and didn't ever do mapping or the like.

In POE2 I've been mostly playing standard and have gone into the mapping. The main reason is that the unique bosses are very swingy on character builds early game, with the act II opening boss being one of the ones that stands out to me the most.

To me, what makes PoE1 stand out is that it is a clean gaming solution that works well since it doesn't try to over complicate certain details. If a unique boss acts like a rare monster it means there is more flexibility in how that scenario can be handled depending on character build.

In PoE2, it is basically a coin flip with Evasion + ES being the most solid option 99% of the time, since bosses and many special encounters often result in the player getting boxed in. On pure evasion ranger, for example, I'm 99% of the time clearing the map and then kiting bosses to avoid getting murdered by lightning, exploding tracking death orbs, curse puddles, and all sorts of garbage. It's literally the only option since two hits and you die.

stay with PoE1. But honestly i feel so betrayed by the management of the game after announcing PoE2 will be standalone that i lost my desire to play either game kinda....

Unfortunately, I can never go back to Poe1 as long as it lacks the same graphic level as Poe2. Yea, Graphic is a big factor for me here. I heard and noticed they are upgrading Poe1 graphics with new assets better made but it looks just not enough.
