POE2 is essentially POE1 with a new mtx

I can’t shake the feeling that PoE2 is essentially PoE1 with some new visuals and systems that are still heavily based on PoE1. At almost every turn and corner, I can see clear remnants of PoE1. But when I read threads on here, people seem to want PoE2 to become even more like PoE1. I feel like if the majority of players had their way, it would basically become PoE1 in terms of difficulty, loot, and so on.

I think GGG had a vision that’s been distorted by a player base wishing for PoE1-style gameplay. I’ve played PoE1 for thousands of hours and was really hoping for a new experience in PoE2. But as it stands—seeing and feeling PoE1 everywhere in PoE2 (and yes, I understand they used PoE1 as a starting point)—it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Skill gems and supports: Mostly the same, just rearranged in usage and tied to different weapons.

Maps and campaign: Basically the same, just with updated visuals.

Skill tree: Largely the same—traces of PoE1 are clearly visible in the order and placement of nodes.

Endgame: Nearly identical, with mapping and the atlas system.

Ascendancy and classes: Under the hood, they’re essentially unchanged.

I bought early access because I heard it played somewhat like Dark Souls. But what I got was essentially the PoE1 experience in a light disguise.

Not that my opinion matters much or will change anything, but I would really like a playstyle that diverges significantly from PoE1. Something more like Dark Souls—increased difficulty, remove the repeated three acts but increase the experience gained until new acts are created, fewer mobs but more meaningful loot. Replace the map system with something like a Delve mechanic—or better yet, introduce a completely new endgame. Make it truly fresh.

—A disappointed player.

I think PoE 1 handies will stop be annoying with PoE 2 in June, when they get their new league and go back to PoE 1.

When they're busing playing poe 1, devs may be able to make more changes on PoE 2.

Sorry, that´s just ridiculous. Most people are smart enough from reading the game title: It´s POE (wow ! )
And if you watch one of the hundred gameplay and other videos from GGG you should check the idea too.

There are changes to separate from poe1 but it is still an argp hack and slay game.Even the uniques are often the same. It´s not a dark soul and the players complaining that it´s already to much touched by dark soul...
