Speedrun event doesn't fit into PoE 2 - Stop the "rush" mindset

Guys don't turn PoE 2 into stupid zoom-zoom flame dash explode all stuff type of game PoE 1 already is with speed run encouragement.
Hosting an even that is only about speed-running just doesn't fit into "slow and methodical" PoE 2 theme.

Please, stop copy-pasting EVERYTHING from PoE 1 as a bandage for missing content. Just fill it slowly with something new, more fitting to the PoE 2 style of game. Make it slow and methodical event.

2 mins of thinking -> make an event focused on:
Most XP gathered + heavy death XP penalty
Most X things found
Best X thing crafted (like most DPS on wep)
DPS dummy event - who can have most dmg output in 30 sec on a target
DEF dummy event - How long can you survive
Trial endless run - for masochists, most floors cleared.

Damn anything that just isn't copying rush rush style of PoE 1. It fits perfectly there.. not here.

Thank you for considering.

You are correct.
The race concept means.

You need to go zoom zoom and boom boom asap
find the meta build, get heralds rolling.

Yup, I'm sick of it.

PoE 1 eventually became a spam fest, maps going so fast that it took a minute to clear them with some builds.

It's ridiculous. The only thing they know how to do in this game is zoom players around. PoE 2's end-game is essentially the same as PoE 1.

I fully agree, but honestly after seeing endgame I think it's just going to be more of the same... seems it's the only way that GGG can think to challenge people.
Just look at the mechanics, delirium is zoom, Breach is zoom, it all relies on killing as fast as possible.

This is early access. This "Rush" speedrun event is so that GGG can gather data to make adjustment for the RELEASE.

They want to see how fast the campaign is and adjust it accordingly before they launch the rest of the acts.

is that what it looks like to you? because to me it just looks like camouflage for a further 1 month delay.

People race snails.

Please do not make POE 2 as fast as POE 1. Slow , methodical, combo game play is still what makes this game a seperate game and an exceptional one at that.

I agree the slower , tactical game play is where the fun is. Once you get to the point where npcs run at 5x speed and there are 20+ of them, and you are forced to use the one button kills all builds, the game ceases to be fun. I don't even do breaches anymore. I just skip them. Not only is it not fun but is also harder on your hardware and just not worth it.

All major devs have gone. Now Tencent decides what to do. And it decided that POE2 will be POE1 with better graphics.
