One thing?
N/A. I am still looking. TBD. "I've played a lot of videogames. It's my primary recreational activity. Best games ever: Elden Ring and Diablo 4."

The extreme levels of customization and choice. If two people make the same build without a guide, it can still look VERY different.
I also enjoyed the difficulty with what I felt was a reasonable safety net: ability to spam bosses to learn in campaign and 6 portals in maps. I know that's two things. Whoops. Thanks for all the fish!

The Atlas progression, from Tier 1 Maps to Uber Pinnacle content, along with the Atlas Passive Tree progression and the ability to target farm specific things in SSF is just awesome.

" Nah, there was a whole group of people who wanted an alternative version to the game that was just delve and only delve. You're not alone on that point at all. Thanks for all the fish!

It´s the crafting system. I played a lot of poe2 lately and my god do i miss deterministic crafting. I never had a poe1 league with several 90+ chars not wearing a single self crafted item.

When I started A3 Piety on merc was the end boss.
I remember feeling like it was just a d2 ripoff that would be sued into oblivion, but it was still better than d3. Then I got to Lunaris level 2. I was weirded out by the water so I zoomed in. I realized it was red...and thicker than water. The entire unwalkable area was...flowing blood. A lot of it. I was kinda creeped out but kept going. After you ascend the last stair case, there's just carts. Carts and carts full of bodies. I remember zooming in thinking those aren't really bodies...damn. They're bodies. That's the only time a video game has made me feel physically sick. I had to take a five minute break and get some water. Every time I enter level 2 Lunaris, I think back to that moment. Best level, best video game ever. Can't wait for what's ahead! |

In POE 1, currency drops is not hard to come by. I love that.
In POE 2 - forget it. You get maybe 1 regal orb for an hour or so. Plus you always get items that are not for your class and on a level that is a lot lower than your current state so it's basically useless for your current character. POE 1 is still fun to play. We just can't overcome the mentality that it's an old game so therefore we should go for the latest. |
