Early Access Feedback - Dear GGG, Stop Trying to Make a Game For Everyone; Stick to your Core POE1 Customers - Forum

What is the creativity here exactly? We have same item slots, same leagues, most of the skills are the same, limiting supports to 1/skill seems very fun, terrible micro corridor layouts, gear is generally useless, uniques are terrible, builds are very limited. They can't even fix minion ai FOR ALMOST 2 WHOLE MONTHS. Like honestly this is such a lazy cash grab at this point i don't think i ever hated a game and its developers more than poe2. And i was there during diablo 3 launch. Future is also absolutely bleak, developers can't even admit no one wants to do their horrible 'new' ascendancy trials on a fresh character, and that's just one of the thousands of issues with core mechanics It is very un-GGGish. Maybe the influence of Tencent and the AAA buyers? Memo to self, if I can get my ARPG off the ground, dont sell. At any rate the EA has been super disappointing for all of us who have been waiting years for this.	Posted by Kraythax#2592 on Jan 23, 2025, 4:32:10 PM Quote this Post
Yet another "PoE2 is not completely and utterly identical in absolutely every possible conceivable way to PoE1, therefore it is shit and garbage and horrible and the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY to save it is to make a game that is literally unplayable for anyone who is not one of the two or three thousand Ultra Wealthy PoE1 Uber Elite Hypervet" thread. Man, I'm really glad Grinding Gear is ignoring all these gatekeep-y self-entitled snots because they already have a game that is as close to completely unplayable as it can get without being an Ultrawealthy Ultravet.

I am sure you are. And when the game fails and goes down in the annals of history as being worse than D4 you will feel all smug? When they lose their core audience to the next ARPG that learns this lesson you will be here eagerly supporting them? No one one I know of, especially not me, wants POE2 to be POE1. We want it to be better than POE1. This game is SIGNIFICANTLY worse EXCEPT the graphics. The concurrent player numbers are showing this to be true.

Just look at their only big patch since launch, +1 affix on useless uniques that changes almost nothing. I honestly don't even know if people involved in the process play their product. At least when we had Chris Wilson he could hypnotize you with his sweet lies and light reflecting head. I can smell Jonathan lies from another country	Posted by Alivkos#3986 on Jan 23, 2025, 4:35:33 PM Quote this Post
Ah yes, make the game better for the 10k concurrent PoE1 players and ignore the hundreds of thousands of other players. Brilliant idea.	Posted by Sandcubicle#5745 on Jan 23, 2025, 4:37:26 PM Quote this Post

Amazing feedback, i guess this is why 24h peak players is going down everyday! Finally a solution worthy of being on feedback forums, just keep doing what you doing GGG since it's obviously working and people are going away to play other games!

Pretty sure you invented those numbers out of thin air. POE1 customers funded the creation of POE2. Ergo there must have been a LOT more than 10k. And indeed from experience I know that there are.
