A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players

Since Jonathan took leed everyting is turning for worse.

You didn't foll youself, you foled us players, long time supporters, people who spred good world about poe, that's why poe2 was a huge financialy success.

Me as many other poe1 players don't feal poe2 fulfilling, thats why neglect from your site is like kick in the balls for us.

When you told that poe2 will not affect poe1, you just lied to us.

Who cares about boring, slow and clunky poe2, when we just want play the better version of poe... POE1

You should predict? What is here to predict, it's deamn obvious that release will be late if you remove essential staff from developping.

I feel betrayed, i feel nothing but contempt to you Jonathan! If I could i would refund all support becose of You.
And to be onest it is first time when i don't feel like playing POE.

Figure this, give poe1 and it's developers back, give lead on poe1 to Chris, take this shitty poe2 game and develop it yourself with completly other staff.

Nice management, clown

well shut my mouth! I be good ga googaly moogaly.

So you Kill a working and fun game with QOL and a lot of Content called Poe1 for a new game that is boring as hell in its current state and will take years to come even close to the former Game.
regarding Poe2 :
The Atlas ist just Stupid and Confusing.
All the maps look the same (regarding Layout) they are just stupid Mazes. All Boring the same (i repeat myself)
All the current Content isnt rewarding at all :
Ritual ? Just stupid waiting for the King of the Mist
Essence ? Not worth it as the essences cant be used for anything
Expedition ? What for ? that Item Gambling isnt worth anything.
Bosses only good for Waystones.
Breach ? What for beside a bit of Exp.

Crafting (even if i hate that gambling in POe1) : non Existant

Qol : Anything that was inplemented in Poe1 over the year is missing

Gold ? What a joke. not needed if you dont want to respec 1000 times

you cant even Specialize in what you want to play like in Poe1. even if you try to. its all stupid random (gimme scarabs back)

i could add like 100 more Topics, and if it would be possible i would try to get my money back for this early access stupid thing.

Conclusion : Poe1 = dead, Poe2 will never come to the state of Poe1 and is dead too.

No wonder that both games are at an alltime low.

after playing Poe since 2013 it looks like as it has come to an End.

I am not sure I understand the decision being made here. What stops GGG from hiring enough staff to actually deliver on the promises? Did POE 2 not give enough money, did Tencent not give enough money? is Path of Exile not a profitable business? Project based work is a thing!
I do not play poe2, I got my keys, that is not the issue. The issue is that I do not find that game enjoyable. So I am being actively punished because GGG wanted to make something that had nothing to do with the game that I loved?

If GGG chooses to go out and develope a mobile game for toddlers, and then release an unfinished product, and then yell that they need to use all the people from poe 1 and 2, because it is a dumpster fire, is that something that we should expect? is that something that is in line with the business philosophy of GGG? whenever that something goes bad in poe 2 that we should be fine with not having a poe 1 game?

Make it make sense. The solution is freaking EASY! HIRE ENOUGH PEOPLE. It is really that easy. unable to do so? then you should not have released a burning garbage can and called it a game. Early access must be expected to have major issues, major things missing, major balance problems, it is EARLY ACCESS, it is not a FINISHED product. Make it make sense.

Just give us some fun while we are FORCED to wait.

Here is my idea. Give us all leagues since sentinel including sentinel. So, Sentinel, Kalandra, crucible, affliction, ancestors, and necropolis. Give us access to the legacy items. Charms from affliction. Give everybody 2-3 charm slots. Give us necropolis crafting. take Settler recombination, and give us the old special mods. Give us the legacy tattoos in TOTA. And for the people who need a challenge upon all of this power. Make an NPC that allows all areas to have wisps. use the UI from Tujen hagling, and allow for increments of 500 wisps of each collour. But a limit of minimum 1000 difference between each colour, so you cant do 10.000 purple without 9000 yellow, and 9000 blue wisps. Maybe cap it to a maximum of 20.000 wisp.

This will be the most broken, rewarding, fun, and build diverse league in Path of Exile history.

All of this tech exists, it is just about making sure that each part work again, and done. It should take 2-3 weeks with a couple of developers to launch this project. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.

It is really shame that GGG couldn't hire few more developers to make a simple league. At this point people don't expect very complicated and detailed leagues likes in the past since PoE 2 is in developement as well.

Considering amount of cash GGG has made from Early Access this league could have been done a month ago by hiring few more people.

Shame really.

I agree with this sentiment. I do not understand the lag of people either.

You all can be so dramatic. Thinking like dogs.
“Everything happening now will be happening forever”

Being excited pre launch, then get sad afterwards. No update means it’s never going to happen again. Please grow up.

so much for promises

If PoE2's biggest threat is PoE, just make the sequel much better than the original to outcompete it in player numbers.
Please don't focus on digging PoE down just because you're afraid of having a new project less popular than it is now (PoE1 not having a new league is a big factor) >_<

Anyway, it's EA of PoE2 - literally no need to put all resources into it, there are no deadlines. Let people enjoy what's a complete game in the meantime.

There are deadlines though. Now that it's out, Tencent has a fiduciary obligation to their shareholders to generate as much value as possible. Obviously this is seen to be done with poe 2 rather than 1. There was obviously a deadline to put early access out, because it was very clearly not even ready for that (as evidence by this latest message)

In the world of public corporations, each quarter there is a deadline. Weather that means releasing new product or services, or laying of employees, whatever the case may be, trust me, in this world, everything is a deadline.
