Early Access Feedback - Why I am not Playing POE2 Anymore and Want a new POE1 League ASAP. - Forum

" GeoffC#1733 wrote: My biggest barrier is the trade league and trading. The currency exchange is brilliant, however, trading for items has so far been a horrible experience of silence and being completely ignored. PoE 1 much better using this same system, so I will put it down to new players and trade etiquette. I play SSF so I dont trade but the reality is trading is the leaset of their problems.

The problem i see is they were making this game for 5 years and they now want this to release out of EA in 6 to 12 months, i don't see it happening with how the endgame is. It honestly feels like they crafted a intricate mechanic for armour (though it seems they get that seriously wrong) then spent so much time doing that they thought F**k it and just threw RNG into the rest of their systems (towers, maps, breachs, deleirium, rituals, bosses, crafting, currency, loot, gear, etc) since it was easy to implement and required little effort, then when called out on it they've labelled it "challenging" and "difficult" lol Last edited by Drayvn#9190 on Jan 23, 2025, 2:45:14 PM	Posted by Drayvn#9190 on Jan 23, 2025, 2:43:53 PM Quote this Post

That and FIRE all the beancounters that dont play games and all and dont have a clue. You would be surprised to know how small a percent of game executives dont play any games. They dont know jack and dont care beyond revenue numbers. Usually they fail but still get jobs. When I worked at EA I awas astonished to discover less than 10% of the staff played any video game.

I also don't trade and ssf is just slamming orbs and praying, the only viable upgrade source is grinding gold and gambling with Alva. It's not Grinding Gear Games anymore, it's Grinding Gold for Gambling.	Posted by MaxGor31#4492 on Jan 23, 2025, 4:32:42 PM Quote this Post

SSF in this game is a very hard road. Trust a guy who never trades and always plays SSF on that.	Posted by Kraythax#2592 on Jan 23, 2025, 4:37:15 PM Quote this Post
" It doesn't have a crafting system. AND so little bases for your CURRENT character actually drop so you can "craft" on them. (STOP GIVING ME ARMOUR BASES, GGG!!! >:() Was this really GGG's vision for POE all along?
