Im real glad POE is doing so well, new league I get it.
But POE2 EA should be your primary focus! You haven't done anywhere near enough to respect this sequel yet. Have fun poe boys! Same ol' shit for us here! Level 97 Ice strike Monkey Последняя редакция: bellabears#7803. Время: 13 июн. 2025 г., 16:57:04 Last bumped14 июн. 2025 г., 13:50:47

yeah numbers don't lie
I prefer poe 2 over poe 1, not playing poe 1 anymore But honestly...get your shit together over here POE 2 got serious performance issues. And so far the devs don't do anything about it or can't do anything about it. Either way it is very bad!

" The game doesn't really compare to its predecessor. Constantly battling resistances, mana regeneration, movement speed..... the game doesn't feel good. The game constantly seems to be fighting the player not encouraging the player. I've never played PoE1 enough to count it... but the moment they add WASD controls I'll be moving over to it because it actually seems like it encourages the player to play the game and have fun instead of fight it at every corner. Just because some patches have improved it doesn't mean it's good. Последняя редакция: DankWeebTrash#7386. Время: 13 июн. 2025 г., 17:58:37

I like it being harder game. It gives more meaning to the combat.
Poe 1 and Diablo 4 are just snacks in front of TV. |

" The game isnt hard enough in my opinion. It's incredibly easy with "false difficuly" added through tedium. It's more time sink than difficulty. Id rather have harder fights that feel fair instead of tedious mechanics that just make you wait for good dps windows. I'd rather have difficult mechanics than be limited by recource regeneration... etc. Give me more fights like arbiter and Zarkoth. They are great bosses. Only thing I'd say is actually hard is Simalcrum and it's only hard because it's overtuned and small. Последняя редакция: DankWeebTrash#7386. Время: 13 июн. 2025 г., 18:05:55

Well, I expected like 270k or 280k max players, honestly.
I guess there are a lot of people like me, who kinda like the overall feel of PoE2's combat, effects and other stuff, but don't like the game itself too much to play. So I'm in a weird spot. I can't play PoE1 anymore, but I can't really play PoE2 as well, because it is bad. Последняя редакция: grynnder#7112. Время: 13 июн. 2025 г., 19:49:16

" Your analysis is genuinely perfect, I agree with everything there. I feel the exact same thing, it's scary lol. |

People... it's a league launch. Numbers always spike for a league launch, and then decline over time until the next league launch. You'll see the same thing again for PoE2 when they drop the 0.3.0 content in August (assuming they can stick to the schedule), and then again when 3.27 drops in October, and so on. This is the cycle of live-service life, and Path of Exile has been following exactly this pattern for over a decade now.
Stay sane, exiles!

" The forums can correct me if I'm wrong. But PoE 1 bosses genuinely look harder than most of the bosses in PoE2 mechanics wise. Its just player power is higher there from what I've seen. |
