So far Chris is 0/2 with me. Poe2 lost me midway through cruel.

FF14 is not even close to the best FF story and has objectively the worst gameplay of any FF (though it’s ok for an MMO).

I agree that having to redo the same campaign acts a 2nd time is pretty shitty, but that's also when your build usually comes online so it was fun for me.

Mapping, however, is pretty bad atm.....I still run a few maps every day out of habit at this point, but POE1 mapping feels WAY better.

Playing with PS Move Nav controller + Mouse or Joycon + Mouse is probably why this game held my interest so much.

It is a very intriguing input scheme. Thinking about rolling through Enter the Gungeon with this.

Think Johnathan is in over his head and Chris not being there doesn’t help either. I’m done with PoE2 until they release new classes. I’m playing PoE1 until Monster Hunter Wilds. This meme pretty much sums it up for me.

not to mention they don't hire remotely anymore, you have to live/move to New Zealand. The pool for that has to be a few dozen, not even a few hundred.

Bald guy in all the videos. He used to be at all reveals, announcements, and when things went "bad" in a league he would write and release really long manifestos on how they were going to fix it and not do it again, so much for that.

For a while it said he had stepped down. He posted on reddit that was an HR mistake because he wasn't there the day they wanted some info people had to provide lol. I don't know if he officially stepped down or not GGG was his deal, but it's pretty obvious he isn't as active as he used to be.

Just reading the tea leaves, either Chris has moved on to a different role in Tencent, he’s exited altogether, or he discovered hookers and blow.

He had always been big in the no auction house or any in game trade stuff other than player interaction. Notice once he stopped being at league reveals and videos we got the currency market put in the PoE 1 league. Coincedence? Hmmm.

Couple of times in videos Jonathon said PoE 2 was the game he wanted to make and play. Guess PoE 1 was the game Chris wanted to play at one time.

I can’t fucking tell if the puzzle reaction is positive or negative. But I agree.

Currently level 75. Anybody got a baller quarter staff in their pocket they don’t need?

Not sure what the price is for a good one at my level.

Yeah depending on how decent you're after I think I still have my old one in the stash.....I get on around 415ish will check it out.

Was probably just 1-2 div when I bought it, not sure if itll be a good uograde for you or not but will let you know.

Sorry brother, thinking the one I still had was right after getting to maps. As soon as I can afford a staff with crit chance I'll hook you up with the one I'm using now.....really thought I still had a semi-decent one, but I checked all my stash tabs.

Just hit 95 and figured I'd try and run a Sekhama for the fuck of it.....went WAY faster than when I got my points, but thankfully I had the boon that restores ES / Health when you get super low because I was not expecting that lightning to hurt that much. Took like 30 minutes total if not less from floor 1 to finish, wasn't bad at all!

They ported over some MTX from PoE1. You can now finally use your pilferer's ring and figure out how often shit actually drops. The rarity testers should start now.

Thought this worth pointing out.

Players motivated enough to post on reddit are still not at the endgame of PoE2. We're 2 months into early access, which is the point where PoE1 leagues are considered dead due to player dropoff.

I have no idea what proportion of the PoE2 population this represents. But, worth keeping in mind when comparing the two.
