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

ABsolutely not true, they will eventually remake POE 1 with POE 2 engine or just place the story in the new engine. They have the tools and money now to do it. People would play POE until they die, if they manage to do it.

There's no way they will do this. What will happen is that they will slowly redistribute server and O&M budget from PoE1 to PoE2 in accordance with maintaining the minimum EBIT on their forecasts. This is already underway and the PoE1 team is getting smaller and smaller. The servers will follow soon.

When you hear "they made $X!", that doesn't mean they have that revenue to spend. Anything surplus to their FY25 budget has already gone to the board, dividends (if any) and costs, etc. That money is gone and all they have now is what they were told they have near the end of last year.

Do you think a billion$ Chinese conglomerate would be happy with the return on investment from product they've already invested in superseding?

Man I like the lack of fact here.

We only have 2 times they mentioned how many people work on poe 1, the second time being to correct the first one.

I play poe 1 since closed beta and I really like the game so I will stay. The gameplay of poe 2 that I have seen so far looks soooooo slow, it's not my kind of game I guess.

I actually stopped playing POE 1 because I can't stand this nasty vomit inducing character model and animation.

The way the character moves so stiff and uncanny.

Can't wait to dump this garbage as soon as POE 2 launches I hope GGG kills POE 1

Stupid game never updated these outdated character models and dumb ugly looking Act 2

I think POE 2 once the shine falls off will have less people overall than POE 1.

It'll grow over time but I think people that stuck with POE 1 for years are not going to instantly fall in love with the different game play of POE 2.

POE 2 is going to introduce POE to a new player base who will probably prefer it, but I feel the Old School players will mostly stick with POE 1.

Move. I do not care what poe 2 is. Poe one causes me physical pain.

I get headaches and insomnia from the ludicrous light show that is end game content for poe.

The fragmented and bloated mod pool means only thing you pick up are crafting bases and the currency used to craft those bases.

Nothing legitimately good is found save for a handful of deliberately over powered chase uniques.. but rares? rares are in a bad spot and have been for years.

I am personally over all the hoops summoners have to jump through just to play the game.

And most of all I am done with the map system and the atlas and all the bullshit one shots that system is responsible for.

I hope to god they learn their lesson and stop with this terrible habit of introducing fun destroying mods that break your character rather than challenge it.

It was bad 10 years ago and it has only gotten worse.

there is a reason ggg keep on making defenses more and more accessible. Why block cap/ spell block cap, max res and chaos res went from super rare stats you had to make sacrifices to get to being so easy to get that the base line for characters these days starts at 80% all res and capped block.

Its because ggg is struggling to keep up with their own absurd difficulty spikes that they can't keep a lid on.

it sucks. good riddance. hope poe 2 goes a different direction.

i very much agree with this but I'm afraid PoE2 is going to be harder game...

I am all for challenge as long as the challenge is fair and at least somewhat well communicated.

the issue with poe1 and its current atlas and map mod system is that it is very easy to stack modifiers in such a way to essentially guarantee a one shot.

Take enough physical as element,
forget to roll over that -30 max elemental resists mod
ignore that - 50% block/ spell block mod
forget to see that monsters pen 30% of resist mod.
or the one of the 3 on death effects mods.

if poe 2 just has a conventionally hard set of fights which don't need to rely on cheap gimmicks like these to be enjoyable; it will be a vastly superior game

At my sense PoE2 is too much slow for me but I want try it.
I love zoom zoom and same my "slow build" (when I want take my time) are more fast than PoE2.
Or maybe there is only slow build in video.. I have only watch some videos.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Neither. The changes moving stuff that used to be base to scarabs are terrible. Loot outside of t17's /scarabs juiced is terrible, and I've had enough with GGG. They seem to have a extreme aversion to letting players have fun and find loot. You can farm a uber boss umteen dozen times and not get something that's on their loot table. Wtf is that??

And think about it; it's the only game in the genre where 99.9% of the stuff that drops is trash. Why are all rares that drop SO bad?? How any of you find this exciting is beyond me. I can only assume PoE2 will be more of the same, so I'm just done with GGG.

Chris bragged that they only need like 10,000 players buying MTX to stay afloat and don't care if many people don't like design decisions. Stay classy Chris, I'm out.

Imagine thinking any sane person would stick with POE 1

GGG hopefully will kill this game and move onto POE 2 with full support.

Nobody wants to go through these sh*tty old acts for the 1 millionth time for another season again.

poe 2 IS EVERYTHING POE 1 should have been if only GGG had the money

I was forced to endure this [Removed by Support] character models and animation for 13 years.

POE 2 is the game of dreams the last game people will ever own because it will be so good and we will all grow old and die together playing POE 2 down to the last breath
