Why POE2’s Direction Is Worrying for Veterans and Newcomers Alike
" PoE 1 and 2 leagues will be 2 months apart so people can play both games if they want to(so poe 1 league starts, 2 months later poe 2 league starts etc.). The point is more profits. Unless everyone hates PoE 2 and it has horrible player retention, and it's not looking very good atm lol |

" Look at this, yet another Act gamer chiming in. Theres nothing tactical about this games combat in Maps. |

Slowing down POE2 doesn’t make it feel like Elden Ring—it just makes it feel tedious.
1. The only are slowed down are warriors...you put gear and its almost -10ms.. 2. people already have boss erasing builds, so you cannot complain about low dps.. the only ones who get it worst are melee guys... 3. I like roguelite feature, but its pointless when playing wrong build. i should reroll into those zoom kill everything builds.. but if i did that then where is the charm of poe2??? I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.

" You should learn to read, because PoE2 player count has gone down by -200k in the past two weeks already. Its going to plummet even much further down and never again reach the kind of players PoE keeps pulling with every league, unless huge changes happen. This isn't an issue of the game being unfinished, the core mechanics of the game are ridiculously dumbed down, restricting, stifling player freedom and build design, the campaign is far too long, player movement is far too slow. Many many issues that prevent this game from being a seasonal live service game, the way PoE2 is, its a one playthrough game for 99.9% of people. |

" This guy has never booted up PoE once if you look at his profile. This is the kind of people who defend PoE2. Positive reviews dont mean anything, almost none of those people will be playing PoE2 every 3 months for the next decade. This game is not designed to last like PoE is. |
|
" Stop dooming for crying out loud. It’s the holiday season, people have families in town etc…the game has a very solid base and is a lot of fun to play. You POE fan boys keep dooming as if you are trying to scare GGG into making knee jerk reactions. |
|
" Don't quit your day job to ever start a business... GGG in fact 100% absolutely does have to focus on making PoE2 into a seasonal, fast and rewarding feeling game, because the game is F2P. Their only way of ever making money with PoE2 is the same as with PoE: selling skins and stash tabs. And there won't be a returning seasonal playerbase buying those if this game doesn't stop being tedious and slow, among fixing its other issues like a dumbed down skill tree, gem system etc. |

I wholeheartedly agree with OP, I hope GGG will do something with the abundant feedback given. Love PoE, but so far PoE2 just doesn't do it for me.

" A LOT of the issues are that the games base is not very solid actually. OP listed many of these examples already. Talent tree, skill gem system, Atlas, crafting - nearly every core system that the game is built upon is absolutely awful compared to PoE's original versions of them. Your opinions genuinely do not matter, guy who has never once played PoE in your life. |
|
" This is exactly why newcomers won’t take you completely serious. You act as if people who have never played POE don’t have an opinion. Fact is , many people who are playing POE2 didn’t want anything to do with POE1. Your crowd is trying to dictate every decision GGG makes. You guys are acting like tyrants. The newcomers are simply saying “Hey there is a really solid game here that is really fun let’s keep the trajectory on this” POE elitist “ No, we want the whole game to almost be a carbon copy of POE 1” Ok I guess if that’s what GGG does than bye bye new audience. |
