POE 1 Players.......what the heck yall on about?

Im not gonna move on because i like poe1

Cant say i disagree that actually believing that the game is gonna be expanded for literal eternity is naive, but then... even if poe1 is not gonna get updated anytime soon, im still not gonna leave simply because its still the king of its genre. If i leave, where i would go to? D4? Maybe ill get into poe2 when it actually comes out, but i never get early access ever because i dont wanna pay to be a beta tester just for the sake of playing earlier(and consequently, getting tired of it earlier), i can wait for when the product is actually finished and ready, thank you

I can appreciate poe1 even on the state its currently in, its a very good game as it is. As someone who often play standard, i dont need a new gimmick every 4 months to enjoy the game

You're playing PoE2 because I paid for PoE1 under the impression that it was a game "intended to be developed forever".

You're welcome.

even charan is not entitled, and out of everyone he would have the most right to feel this way. its fucking baffling to me how entitled all of you are, not surprising just baffling.

I'm going to point this out again. People were giving GGG money for POE1, when GGG had already decided and or started on POE2, thinking the money was going to help make POE1 better. A lot of people, had they known that the money was going to POE2, would not have given GGG the money, because they had no interest in it. A lot of people on this very forum left at that point.

Okay, im the one that is going to point now:

When you buy a supporter pack, there is no option to select where you want your money to go, you are giving support to GGG in general. Its up to them if they want to use that money on poe1, on poe2, or just to make a soundproof toilet on their office

If you gave the money expecting it to go to poe1 and was disappointment it went anywhere else, its completely on you, ESPECIALLY because they announced they were working on poe2 for a while now, so if you actually didnt noticed at least some of the money was obviously going to poe2, well... yeah...

I stopped supporting GGG immediately after the Exilecon 2023 announcement that PoE Deuce was gonna be a separate game, instead of the expansion/improvement of PoE they had lovingly detailed four years previous at Exilecon 2019. And no less stellar a GGG luminary than Jonathan Rogers acknowledged in an interview that GGG knew as early as 2020 that they were going to take that different approach. But GGG didn't bother to tell those of us buying those Supporter packs for all that time. In my case, that was HUNDREDS of USD, and I'm certain I'm not the only one who feels cheated. ='[.]'=

OP missed the post/video where GGG said they wanted POE 1 and 2 leagues to alternate in order to give us something to look forward to right around the corner. Now it's POE 2 or nothing. Oh, but nothing wrong here. If the OG's don't matter then GGG shouldn't have given those that still like POE 1 the hope that it wasn't going to be shelved. Now the opposite appears true.

Blizz lost me as a customer after D3... GGG might be next to lose me. I have no desire to give them anything more. Making a video to be transparent about back tracking on past design philosophies isn't real transparency. It's SHEISTY

I mean the guy personally apologized, admitted to the mistakes and even stated teh players deserve better than that. sure this can be all BS and PR dmg control but i wouldn't straight up call this back tracking. if we are going to assume everyone is the absolute worst POS then everyone ranting now is just gaslighting the devs into pushing a new content for poe1, this includes you.

Now now, that's not quite true.

Some of them are gaslighting the devs into pushing out old content for poe1.

They lied to the players in order to get money for developing a sequel. They should have tried being honest instead of lying. It's really simple.

The difference between us is I never believed for one minute given the size of their studio they were going to be able to sustain development on both games. Especially given the immense hype of the new game.

Anyone who actually thought they would, yall are absurd and illogical.

The last couple years of POE1 leagues by GGG's own words were being made by 7 employees. While most of them made POE2

[Removed by Support]

Ofc they can sustain both... if less than 10% of your studio can keep one of them going for the last 2-3 years lol.

[Removed by Support]

I don't blame them for keeping the other 143 odd employees on the bigger game. I want them to do that.

Not putting out a new POE1 league of "different colored circle with recolored mobs in it" with 7 of them just like the last 2 or 3 years is actually dumb on their part. Like its shooting their own product in the foot and also putting the lie to their own words. Thats dumb.

Or maybe they were bold faced lying. about 7 people making POE1 leagues, seems like an odd thing to lie about. I think lying constantly for the last year of t Dev interviews is kind of stupid as well. But I'm mostly unhappy because POE1 zoomers are going to fucking RUIN POE2's combat with their inability to press more than 1 button.

I want POE1 zoomers distracted. Its the smart move for the future of POE2 not devolving into POE1button.

POE is a live service game that's updated every 4 months. No one asked for a sequel.

Poe 1 was perfect in 2019/2020 when they announced poe 2. Ever since they've DESTROYED poe 1 with testing for poe 2 and just blatant disregard for the game in general because they thought poe 2 was going to replace it and when they renamed it poe 1 they thought poe 2 was going to get 2 mill players on steam and poe 1 wouldn't need to be good anymore so they just milked us poe 1 players and lied to us the whole time.

POE 2 is worse than concord and should never have even been thought of being made
