Had a thought about why GGG would abandon PoE 1.
" Johnatan like shooter game according to rumour . Just wait and see how much they milk out in 0.2.0 This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee. About the username: Did you know Kowloon Gundam is made in Neo Hong Kong?

" All the time. You couldn't even watch one single interview or PoE 2 update video without Jonathan badmouthing PoE 1. That alone is sending some bad signals for the future; when the head of a studio are trash talking and making fun of the game that made them all millionaires and that made PoE 2 possible. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" They already did. People expect 3.26 is 3 months after 3.25, and GGG give a false hope in November 2024 back then as January 2025 for 3.26 news. And then internal it looks like they don't have any plan for 3.26 when 3.25 is released. All the staff are in this company politic on all-in to poe 2. poe 1 is dead. Even they finally made a new league, for sure half or even most players are not coming back, just due to move on, or not interested to read poe related news to make them know there is a new league for poe 1 instead of 2. Meanwhile just wait and see the poe 2 will hold how long until Diablo 4 refugees move on to other games. This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee.

" Going all in on 2 will prove to be a mistake given it's: Half-ass state at release and the huge amount of time it'll take to fix it Poor decisions on the mechanics it ported from 1, The fact that it seems to intend to not be casual friendly in the least which is a real issue because... the studio has engendered permanent bad will amongst 1 loyalists whom I think won't play 2 thereby reducing the games potential player base amongst better-than-average gamers. Director's conceit and bias. Like a squirrel in the middle of a busy road, he might make it but... |

the truth is probably more like:
NZ hiring laws and their studio being the other side of the world from most of the qualified people. plus a 15 year old proprietary engine and philosophies with very precise intentions... means their best designers are also their best engineers, and they're just swamped in work. the 'institutional knowledge' they possess takes many years to acquire and it's hard bottlenecking development/design. |

" The irony of this reply - no offense to you here - is that Jonathan is legitimately the reason (at least afaik), or at least was the major driving force behind why the aura stacker meta took ages to be corrected. Because - *drum roll, please* - Jonathan likes to play those types of builds. He literally admitted as much (that he loves those builds) in an interview at the time. His main style of play is aurabots. (Please don't ask me to find the video, it's been a couple years.) So, yes, it's entirely likely that he has a certain vision of how the game should be and is putting his foot down. [Removed by Support]

" The more players play PoE1, the fewer people will test PoE2. You need large audience to test things like trade which is the big pillar in this game. On Probation Any%

" everything has been tested and reported already, they just dont do anything with the reports. we had what, only 1 big patch in 2 months? Last edited by Lyutsifer665#1671 on Feb 2, 2025, 7:57:04 AM

" They do it on purpose, even the map stash tab is ready to be released. They're slowly waiting for the population to bleed out before releasing the giga patch. Forget about EA and often updates. They know how to maximize profits. On Probation Any%

" map tab is strategically not released yet so people will buy more regular tabs to store maps in....after 2 months it looks kinda bad though to still not release it |
