I watched the video yesterday I think? When I was watching it I thought it was from a guy who didn’t play very much and didn’t understand it. He’s reasonings were very confirmation biased where he’d state a point of view then show some ambiguities that vaguely relate to them. So I can see why OP thinks he’s bought by blizzard. The video came off brash and naive. I’m a new player and didn’t agree with it.


play poe 1 for a while and you'll see why poe 1 is superior in almost every way and poe 2 is not redeemable


That is kind of hopeless. The new players do not understand, how good POE 1 really is.

Quin made a good point with the information overload. Hell, I don't bother with much of POE's content. POE2 is new and has less crap to learn, so new players will play it over POE.
The way OP talks about that video is almost as if they listened to every 2nd word ben said and still couldn't comprehend it and then we end up with posts like these that I have to read twice coz of how stupid they are. Same thing applies to when someone has different opinion than OP.

The real question then becomes why are you so mad and bitter OP? Childish and condescending responses the moment someone disagrees with you. And it doesn't matter if they write some clowny stuff, their opinion or backed up fact because the moment you don't agree with them you attack with emotions and not facts or objective truths.

At the end you talk about redditor but fails to grasp the fact that you yourself sound like one.

Can you show where I can't "comprehend" what he said or are you just saying words?
I couldn't read this after saying the campaign is the best part.
Act 1, yeah, but hits the floor after that.

Let's say act 1 is X time to complete, Act 2 is X*2 to complete, Act 3 is X*2*2 to complete.

The thing I hate most is all of those increments are filler. There's nothing meaningful in the second or third act to warrant it; it's a slog and only increases as one until you get to mapping, which may or may not be in a great state, but is lightyears better than the gruel getting to it.

I had more fun fighting Dominus on repeat during 2012/2013.

i understand what hes saying, and i get he wants something to strive for. but at the same time he also wants speed because speed and is talking about it feeling good when you get fast, only running maps with fast efficient layouts and not having to loot items so he can just speed grind content on a loop.

its a degenerate mindset.

i understand, i have it too, ive played poe1 for 20k hours, ive blasted through 10 hours of mesas in a day and then done it again the next day. thats what poe1 has become and i enjoy, but its also made degenerate junkies out of us.

80% of the maps are unplayable? he literally said that right? actually unplayable because he just wants to autopilot down a straight line while everything instantly dies and he doesnt pick up any of the loot. poe1 has let us do this for too long and its rotted our brains, if you have to actually play it then its unplayable.




i get that he wants a vector to improve his character. this is why ggg want magic find in the game, to have another way of scaling your character.

but speed is a problem because with speed comes idiotic gameplay, a degenerate descent into xp/orbs per hour junkie behaviour that is not really gameplay, its like a fidget spinner cosplaying as a Diablo game.

we speed up then the mobs have to speed up, you have to balance around it and then entire build achitypes become completely invalid options because they are comparatively trash in the face of the zoomies.

I really don't understand your point mate.
You talk about 20k hours. You bring up degenerate mindset. OF COURSE 20k hours is degenerate mate. That's exactly what hardcore playing is : degenerate... And it has nothing to do with the speed. Your brain may indeed have rotted, not because of the speed, but those damn 20k hours.

Real question is, would you have spent those 20k without the tools for that "degenerate mindset" to express itself. I know the answer as for myself, so does Ben, obviously.

Anyway, whatever, time will tell.
OP's entire post is the only L take. Imagine accusing him of being "bought by Blizzard." XDD

I could but I won't. Coz I don't give a f about you about what you think or what you say.

I know people like you. You came here with preexisting agenda(s) hoping to reinforce it and people can see it from the vomit you spew.

Let's be real. You don't care what I think you can't comprehend. You don't care what anyone who doesn't agree with you says. You don't invite people into conversation only altercation. And that's fine if you want your little echo chamber on forum go for it sadly GGG allows it you ain't first nor last but atleast call spade a f*ing spade and don't pretend otherwise.

What a waste of time thankfully it was right before sleep so I wasted only 10 minutes. Have fun here.

How is my post the "L take" when you can't even understand what an exaggeration is?!

Darling, YOU literally present yourself as the one who is unable to engage in a conversation. You've said I am wrong, I asked you to tell me where and you ended up with "I won't". Cinema.
