Now that 3.26 is indefinitely delayed, can we talk about making POE2 more like POE1?

Absolutely not. They said they wanted to make a different, slower and more tactical game. Let them make that and let's see what the target audience will be like.

well my reasonning is that poe 1 still make them a lot of money. only question is will people really play a league every 1.5 months if both games have 4 leagues a year.
but one poe 1 league every 6 months with maybe sth like necro settlers in the middle or some poe 2 reused assets better than nothing

To receive money, you need a product to sell.

PoE1 ain't bringing in money if there's nothing to sell. I agree that if they had just kept releasing poe1 leagues at the normal 3-4 per year, it'd kept brinding in sales.

No thanks, you can play PoE 1 if that's what u want :)

Can't. Game is built around economy for the vast majority of people. With an 8 month old league, there's no more economy.

Then they should keep their promise and continue POE1 development unaffected. Pick one. POE2 becomes more like POE1, or they honor their commitment to the POE1 players.

I think as a company they were profitable by a lot on what i have seen on some articles .

Hell no. It's not POE 1. Let it go.

The mistake you're making is assuming PoE2 players are happy about any of this. We're not. Jonathan screwed the pooch on this one and Path 1 players are absolutely within their rights to be livid. Part of the promise the company made is that both games would receive support. Some disruption to the first game was inevitable during this period of getting the second one launched. This is swiftly growing beyond reasonable, however.

That does not mean the second game needs to be turned into the same utterly unplayable psychedelic nightmare the first game is. I know PoE1 grognards like to assume that Literally Nobody who isn't a 10k hours Streamer Memer Groupie Guy PoE1 diehard has any interest in PoE2. That is as untrue now as it's always been. Frankly the second game is still too fast and obnoxious, and there's far too many "I'm triggering a dozen Comets per second!" so-called 'builds' in play as it is. That's one of the reasons POE2 players hate the POE1 delays as much as POE1 diehards - all that ludicrous hoary shit is supposed to stay confined to the first game. None of us want it.

2 got 2 things right now

hard campaing and almost impossible level 100

i hope these stay, otherwise you can kill other game and continue with the other one

poe1 need heavy nerfs in the endgame again

or make poe 2 harder and i can unistall my 20k hour favorite
