For 30 bucks I got over 300 hours in. Thats pretty good. But I guess if you are turbo autistic you need way more than that or its a cash grab.
I prefer it way more than PoE1. Not sure I will even play another League there. Do I hope they add more crazy stuff to PoE2, absolutely.
Comparing to EQ 2 is funny. A fully released game that was pretty shit from the get go.
Edit: That said, they did fail at continuing PoE1 development though, so that is a negative for sure.

To me the POE1 "screen explode rushrush" gameplay is vastly more fun than the slow soulslike POE2 approach. So yes, I understand the POE1 fans to be a bit miffed about this.

My bad, haven't kept up. Didn't realise they had recently acquired the remainder of the shares. Makes more sense now that CW decided to leave.

None of my builds in PoE2 that I have played are souls like in any way. Its slow at the start Yes but once you get some sort of build up the clearing speed is totally fine with me.
So far I have done Spark/Ice Strike/Poison Arrow/Grenades and they all start clearing shit fast at Act 3 or before that. Maces might be rough though.

Jonathan should be fired by Tencent, today. That faggot has no idea how to run a company. I'm gonna take all the people off PoE1 for half a year and then have a surprised pikachu face when realizing PoE 1 league is gonna be delayed because no one has worked on it for months.
Here's a funky timeline. 0.2.0 is a lucky to be released in Feb. That means 3.26 prod starts in mid March. And they are gonna do the most bare bones league imaginable. No settlers for sure, it will be just kill things to get things to do stuff with things. It will be shit. And it will be rushed. Early May probably if they rush it. The most troubling was the fact that he wouldn't even give a ballpark date (month) for a potential release. Johhny boy has no idea what he's doing. Only thing that can save PoE1 with prolonged time between leagues is a fully functioning auction house. Someone needs to drill that into his cum filled head. In the future best case scenario is a league every 7-8 months for a year or so, then 1 league per year and then it's gonna be put on legacy mode, that will happen in 3 years max. It''s gonna happen. And they are gonna cannibalize the game for PoE 2 content/leagues. We will see rehashed and revamped old leagues pop up in PoE2 and "new" leagues. They will consolidate 3-4 leagues into one and that's it. Just like they did with EA.

The money from PoE2 EA has been relatively public because it's the first "league" in which most players had to buy a key. Thus, the argument has been, duh, of course they would prioritize PoE2 development, look how much money it's made them. Though, I would argue nothing has been proven about how many of those players will convert into longterm revenue.
Does anyone know the per-league revenue of PoE1?

That's insane, they removed your post for calling for a faggot to be sacked? What could have possibly been problematic there!?

"We know what we want to do" combined with some pre-production? That's it? That they have done zero work on 3.26 since Kalguur launched in July sure isn't something I'd have put in the video. If they're going to half-ass something really shallow anyway then they should have done that in November.

I didn't use any slurs. I was respectful. I told he was unfit to run the company. I know how to conduct myself outside of this homo infested pit

So you want a man fired (this is the problematic bit on their own forums) for not updating a decade+ years old free game quickly enough.
This is while they have had the most impressive ARPG launch probably ever that people have put 100s of hours into, including likely yourself. And it's early access half the game.
Totally unhinged.

you say that, but its even worse.
its way closer to ultima online. expacs, splitting the teams, pulling the team off one project, people leaving, temporarily increased sales, etc.
ultimately, idk, I was pretty tired of poe1. poe2 pulled me back in, in a way poe 1 can't anymore.
..I didn't actually give them any money. I still had 470 points, and got "free" invite.
and also, really I don't see how two games is possible. is there ANY company that has successfully run two, without one just being pure stasis? like tf2 type deal?

Honestly they should've shuttered poe1 over a year ago and just rotated favorite leagues every quarter. The fact they're bouncing between poe1 and 2 with one team is so incredibly stupid you'd have to wonder who the fuck approved this. Context switching as a dev is hard enough when you don't have to constantly change your code base.

Well, the problem here is that they blatantly lied about having two autonomous, fully staffed teams. One for each game. They actually lied about that. That's Tencent's contribution right there and where the company probably is headed in the future.

As it is, it's pretty stupid. They must be betting on the games having different playstyles and slightly different markets, which means they need to nerf a bunch of stuff in PoE 2.
The original one game idea was best, they should just port Act 1-10 into PoE 2 with PoE 2 classes.
