do you often find yourself struggling with abstraction or are you being intentionally dense?

300 != 0, obviously. but 300 is effectively nobody.
do you think the future of those games is bright?
are the developers going to pay their bills with wishes and fairy dust?

Sorry to tell you, but simple math is not abstraction. If you think that, than maybe simple math is too hard for you? Btw: the word you're looking for is "exaggeration". But of course you wouldn't know that.

So tell me: Or at what number is your threshold for 'nobody'? What's your threshold for somebody and everybody then?

The games you've mention are doing just fine, btw. But that's something you wouldn't understand, since 'nobody' is playing them. El oh él.

Honestly V rising is more what they aim to be but it's just recycled POE 1 bits, is anyone surprised the code works exactly the same.

It's poe2. You're in for a rough surprise if you expect anything fundamentaly different from poe1.

They wanted PoE2 to be a large content update at first. Then they changed to a different game because “the vision didn't work in PoE1, it would change too much fundamental stuff” — they said something along these lines in a stream some years ago. And now we shouldn't expect PoE2 to be different?

So you copied and pasted OP's post in AI and had AI then write all the counterpoints. You added nothing of value in fact I am not even sure if you read the AI response. Next time, do everyone a favor and respond back without copying and pasting stuff in ChatGPT. I want to hear what you think, not some AI.

Pardon my late reply. I did no such thing. How do you even figure that? I am curious.

Further, I have written well over 1,700 posts on the Forums here (well before AI ever came along), and I do not need or use AI in any of my responses to fellow players who post on here whenever I disagree with them on certain matters.

Here is proof (along with other posts I've put together) that I do not need or use AI assistance. I am, therefore, very capable of doing my own thing: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3857553

Next time, instead of 'assuming' somebody is using AI, without a modicum of evidence to support your claim, how about adding to the discussion yourself here by making a few points against what I responded with to the OP vs. casting out ten-hooked baited responses that achieve nothing more than empty discourse to see who bites?

With all due respect, it is not really wise to paint everybody with such a broad brush.

You said you wanted to hear what I think... Honestly? I find you to be an assumptionist who is the one guilty of adding nothing to the discussion here.

P.S. Here is my oldest Forum Post composed on June 1st, 2013: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/402049 on the 163rd page on my account under the 'Recent Forum Posts' section that you can scroll through (in case my other 'proof' was not good enough).

And here's another very old post https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-posts/HeavyMetalGear%25232712/page/162 as an honorable mention, regarding PvP modes, created many years ago that can still apply today (if ever proper PvP were to exist in PoE 2).

I've been cooking here within the PoE community for a looong time, fellow Exile. Where are your contributions to the PoE community?

GENERAL CONCLUSION?

There are still humans out here who can actually think for themselves without having to rely on AI!


There is still a lint of hope for humanity. Have a better day :)

There's a game called "no rest for the wicked" which is everything like poe 2 wanted to be.
A souls like with hack n slash elements

Wow what a great business model.
I wonder how that other one is doing..



Nobody likes these games.

No one likes POE1/2, it has 1/1000th the player numbers of Umamusume!
Can we make POE2 an anime horse waifu gacha please? That's the only way to make this game good, right? By making it popular? Popular is all that matters!

That's the correct answer for a silly guy.
Games are not made for player-count, otherwise we will have just roblox and fortnite clones and horse-girl gacha games.

Path of exile wearing something else than just "calculating player base".

but, this what poe 2 have slowly dying due to game being toned to poe 1 players and the entire meaningful and methodical combat doesn't exist..
lack of identity of poe 2 makes it just poe 1 without all of the poe 1 content. So 0.5

Poe1 needs more attention in the endgame because t16.5 and t17 are actually punishing. Currently poe2 has no hard content in the endgame, the progression stops in around 3 days where you no longer need to increase your character power because you can already 1 shot whole screen and kill the hardest bosses in a few seconds.

Itemization did already increase in current patch with abyss mods for example, i'm sure they will add more variety in next craft leagues.

If they dont want life to be on tree then they shoud double the life numbers on gear and to be more on par with es, es numbers on passive tree and jewels should be halved.

Comparing last epoch to poe is delusional and last epoch shouldn't be something you strive for. You mentioned that you dont want ggg to make builds for you and yet you want poe2 to be like last epoch that literally makes builds for you by design. The itemization in last epoch also isn't something you really want since you get perfect gear in 30-40 hours of gameplay.

Having different objectives for map completion is a good idea.

GGG can directly see when player doesn't like current direction(0.2) that's why the game was made easier and faster. GGG wants to make profit and them realizing that player doesn't really want a souls like gameplay forced them to make the changes.

There is a reason why no rest for the wicked is unpopular and will probably fail as a game and i doubt they want to take that direction.

problem with life is also made by spell-casters..which are problem for everything as they create stupid supports and ascedancies that prevent the HP to be good and didn't allow warriors to stack it - but allow HP to be source of damage and survivability for casters like blood mage.

While casters - stack ES and HP..by stacking ES... to 44k by simply taking just ES nodes
warriors sits in math class counting it's estimated reduction.

which should be inverted as it's mages to be complicated and muscles/warriors to be simple and just stacking it's buff body :v

Just stacking 1 defensive layer isn't the best way to build defense in poe1/poe2. As a warrior you scale life, armor and armor mitigation to elemental and chaos damage. You can reach 10k life if u want to compare to 44k es. Es means thhat you already take all prefixes and scale the passive tree so if you now count all prefixes and as many passives on the tree you probably get to the same hit pool. Right side you can build evasion and es hybrid with ghost dance and deflection. There are solutions if you know where to look and what to look for. Just because you look at your favourite streamer gear a min maxed es stacker doesnt mean everything else is unplayable.
