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

I will probably play both but I may get burned out and skip some leagues(like crafter leagues).

This is under the assumption POE2 is a challenging but not an impossible game. Some bosses may need a few retries and even the mobs may be harder.

But if the game feels like you have to solve quantum equations on a sinking ship while a horny gorilla is after you... Then will I stop playing...

But I don't think this will be the case.

Which league mechanics or variations of being ported over from PoE1 to PoE2 will be the deciding factor for me.ToTa,incursion,and sanctum would be great.Am sure everyone has their own preferences but these three provide a great distraction from bossing and mapping.The variation of different league mechanics and anticipation for new ones is one of the key features that has set PoE 1 apart from other ARPG's.Hope that PoE 2 can pull off the same.

Anyone saying they wont like POE 2 or even to the extend not try it, is pretty much clueless to the fact that its the same guys/team/devs that made POE1 (the game those same players love and play) are the actual literall creators of its sequel.

POE 2 is not being made from an outsourced studio. Its literally the same people that made POE1, now are making POE2. They know damn well what they are doing and that's why the new game will have so much improvements compared to the first one - cuz its a new engine, built from ground up etc. and they can implement all the things they wanted to have in the first place and also fix some issues in the meantime (like "Melee sucks" etc.)

Straight facts.

Lol some of these post have gotten a bit out of hand. Of course the vast majority will try PoE2 when it fully releases. It's free for fucks sake. Why wouldn't you? What a pointless argument imo.

But it's also just as absurd to believe that PoE2 won't be different. You would have to have had intentionally not looked at anything the last few years. And if you did, you already know PoE2 will be a much different type of arpg compared to PoE1. Any other conclusion is massive copium or just straight delusion.

I expect plenty of PoE1 mains to not like PoE2. The real question will be how many people that were alienated by PoE1 or were simply not interested in the commitment it required, will find a home with PoE2.

PoE2 uses the same engine as PoE1 just to straighten up the "straight facts"

Im curious for a source about those facts.
I cant recall that they mentioned if they use a new or reuse the current one.

Given the Vaal Lightning Strike builds that make gameplay look like a tech demo its possible the reused their existing highly specialized engine but i then question why they not just use the new rig system in PoE 1 if its the same engine beneath?

POE 1 is such a shithole, they should just remove it and remake it with POE 2 stuff.

Period !

Weird how you mentioned the less important point and missed the main one:

"they can implement all the things they wanted to have in the first place and also fix some issues in the meantime"

What theres gonna be less than 3000 players on PoE 1 after 2 launches. PoE2 is lookin sick glad its aimed at being challenging.

im a standard player on poe 1 so i will play poe 1 and poe 2 im not quiting anymore i will play both at my leasure but on standard softcore non hardcore non solo self found non ruthless gameplay. i hope for the best i will horde items for my shop and to fuel my char i will run same build in both games axe and shield retail ground slam build.
