GGG has to decide whether or not they want this game to be mainstream or remain niche

" I think it will be funny to watch how GGG will try to prolong early game to make game more interesting for those who like this gameplay and at the same time make it as short as possible to make it less annoying for PoE 1 players who wants zoom-zoom. |

" Imagine Acts 4-6 being longer than 3, lol. MMO stuff there. Only way is a campaign skip. |

" There are 3 obvious ways. 1) Make monsters in campaign way less tanky so player could almost 1 shot them. Reduce damage and HP of bosses, or just to not reset their HP after player's death. Completely rework skills — remove all skill interactions and replace most skills with skills viable for 1-button build. 2) Forget bullshit about power fantasy, make endgame as slow and challenging as campaign, or much more challenging. Go with original vision and completely rework endgame to it. 3) Leave it as it is and let everyone hate PoE 2 regardless of their preferences. If we would bet, I would bet that GGG will go with third way. Последняя редакция: Suchka_777#4336. Время: 19 янв. 2025 г., 06:13:28

" This makes the most sense. The game's life already ended with all these bs. Next time they butcher some dumb items, and the few broken builds people are rocking, no one will play anymore. But who knows? They might just leave them as is, and only jobless fanboys continue to play. |

" People have been using loot filters to hide 99%+ of loot (90%+ in PoE 2) since forever. Also, 1 out of 20, 30, 40 drops we see is actually significant in some way if you consider selling to other players. Without considering selling? It can take hundreds of drops for you to get a very minor improvement in a single piece of gear. They never thought it through and making items significant was never implemented. Having an artificially small inventory makes no sense in 2025 unless they back it up with way less, but way more significant drops. This was never a game of choices. It has always been a game of numbing grinding, RNG and artificial difficulty. | |
TLDR: Bumpity Bump Bump.
