To all you POE2 fanboys, you should feel bad defending this. They released a game that needs considerable work and charged you $30 to playtest it for them. (I got my copy for free because I invested so much in the original)

They continuously lied about POE1's next patch not being impacted by POE2; it's not "transparency" if they only tell us when the next patch is supposed to be featured. That's called making excuses and leaning on good will.

If they're fine lying to the community about this and being consistently unresponsive to the player base the entirety of POE2's EA (rampant nerfs, no buffs, hackers stealing thousands of divines), you really think that they're going to keep their promises about POE2's future?

Johnathan and GGG have no credibility now; POE1 isn't getting a 3.26. We'll be lucky if they leave the servers up. RIP POE1, good luck POE2 boys.

RIP poe, its was nice while it lasted. I don't hate POE 2 but other than graphics, its inferior to poe 1 in every aspect. i don't get it, poe is a very polish game with a lot of fun mechanics, they should have used the best of poe 1 and add to that. what they used from poe 1 are shells of the original mechanics. ritual, expedition and delirium are crap in poe 2 and i don't know why. the ball was rolling already, why taking polish mechanics and make them bad again. its going to take at least 2 years for poe 2 to get even close to poe 1

Its almost like they didn't learn anything in 10 years of poe 1 and had to start from 0 in poe 2. poe 2 atlas is an aberration, and maps are so bad is not even funny. trials are mega bad and balance between classes and skills is non existent.

i hope they make it but this smells bad. with such a road map like poe 1 already stablished there is no excuse to have such and incomplete and primitive version of poe 2. Worse late game than D4. but hey, casuals are loving it so knock your self out. lets see how long that last without the loyal from poe 1..

good luck.

The shilling in this thread is pathetic, but that is to be expected from many in this community. I have seen it for a decade.

Just a reminder, this isn't a small indie studio from a decade ago. This is a studio owned by a large Chinese conglomerate. Jonathan isn't your friend. Chris isn't your friend. They sold out long ago and don't care anymore about the golden goose they milked for the last five years to help fund POE 2. Shareholders are all that matter and that will matter to them going forward.
