Serious question for people who enjoy poe2 more than poe1

"
ok i agree the campaign is good but thats not enough reason to prefer poe2. end game is just like in poe,1 click builds. 90%+ are heralds or spark on some temporalis build thats even faster than a HH build in poe1.

Not campaign, but engaging combat (though campaign is good too, ofc). Sure, GGG missed the first shot with endgame, they are working right now on fixing it. And even currently endgame is somewhat enjoyably when staying away from broken skills like herald of ice, so we can already see the potential there and enjoy some of it.

I hate that all viable poe1 endgame chars end with screen-blitzing so much that less then 1% of monsters matters...


what are end game viable builds in poie2? heralds? spark? some temporalis coc build? lol


so is it the same or is it different fam? make up your mind


what are you talking about? poe1 has no temporalis so it cant be the same obviously but you should get what i was trying to say. poe2 is zoom zoom just like poe1 lol

why? this is a genuine question because for the life of me i dont understand why some people enjoy poe2 more than poe1. the graphics are better of course but everything else is better in poe1. poe2 still needs years to be on the same level as poe1.

no trolling please. private profiles will be ignored.


Not sure id say i enjoy poe 2 more than 1, but i can weigh in on this. When i first played poe1, there was next to no crafting mechanics, only went up to like, tier 5 maps, then i quit for a long time, and came back during Necropolis league.

That, was the most confusing 600 hours of my life. Nothing in PoE1 is explained, and, not to throw shade at the community, but the lack of ability anyone has to answer simple crafting questions was next to zero. Googling half these crafting methods doesnt work, as its either outdated, or just never written up in the first place. Most YT videos are outdated and don't explain it past when the mechanic was introduce, and it overall is a visual and mental mind fk to attempt to craft, which leads you to either, spend most your time day trading like its the stock market, or hardcore blowing all your currency on trial and error and messing up 20 crafts before you figure it out.

PoE2, while the crafting isnt refined, is at the bare minimum, almost idiot proof. You can grasp the general concept easily, and with a little research into weightings, you can succeed pretty easily, so it overall, while is frustrating to donkey roll, is a more enjoyable aspect of the game.

So aside from the above, i also think PoE2 is just nicer to look at, i watch people play poe1, and it just feels ugly to me now, but that might just be HD Bias

Ypu do release that current endgame is not in its final shape, right? Like, GGG said they want to fix it so it wouldn't be so awful, that they decided to postpone 3.26 to change endgame of PoE 2 ASAP.

yes maybe 5 years from now it will be different...but honestly who cares? people who want to play now probably wont stick around for that long. and just to give you a perspective they worked on poe2 for at least 5 years to come up with...what you have now. so its safe to say it needs at least 5 more years

5 years lol. I can't take you seriously anymore, it looks like you are just trolling. You think 3.26 will be postponed by 5 years until they are fixing PoE 2 endgame.

I mean, i can't really comment on something widely known to be incomplete, but to put it simply, its simple?

PoE1 end game is worse than Runescape Ironman Mode. To archieve 1 task, you need to do 10 others first, and while the map running system is simpler, and maps are overall more enjoyable in PoE1, i think for, something that, is again, INCOMPLETE, theyve done a decent enough job for retension.

Plus, i enjoy the endgame mostly based on the premise that i know that it can only go Up from where it currently is. PoE1 end game is always going to be the cluster fk it is right now, as it was 2 years ago, and it will be in 2 more years time.

Can Poe2 endgame be better, Of coarse, is there stuff id like changed? Yep 100%, does donkey running maps to unlock lost towers to put in tablets annoy the hell out of me? Yep.

But all of that is better than doing 10 different activities to do 1 single craft which then bricks and you need to do 3 other tasks to get the materials to try roll off the brick then roll on something else.

In Terms of Enjoyment overall, it's been hit and miss. Ive enjoyed it more on my Monk than on my witch, but hated it on my spark. I do hope, as a mostly SSF player, they tune down a few things(300 simulacrums and breach splinters can burn in grinding hell) but overall, its generally easier to jump into poe2, and just run maps with your brain turned off, whereas with poe1, i wasnt ever at a point in any of my builds where i felt i could just, tune out and grind.

why? they took 5 years to come up with what you have now...let that sink in. or maybe you think this is awesome, and not 5 years wasted at all...but then do answer my original question. why is poe2 better than poe1? more specifically the endgame because that is what matters not the campaign.

Well I think people gave you good examples of why they enjoy PoE 2 more than 1 but you are ignoiring them for some reason.

Why I enjoy PoE 2 endgame more than 1? Becaus I can reach T15-T16 maps with my own build without spending an insane amout of time learning all the mechanics.
