Path of Exile 2

Chris said:

So BG3 was in EA for 3 years and opened with I think 1/3 of the game.

PoE 2 has been in EA for 3 months and opened with 1/2 the game. They have 2 years and 9 months to keep pace with BG3.

I'm not sure why time in alpha is relevant or angering you, you didn't pay for that and wasn't forced to play nothing else while you waited. Obviously they were working on PoE 1 leagues which slowed PoE 2 development down.

The question should be if the content released is adequate for the cost and comparable to other EA offers in terms of how much of the game is playable. It clearly is, people, even some complaining, put 100s of hours in.

I enjoyed a game for 100+ hours, which I pretty much finished, and was a clear upgrade to the previous game.

I then played Oxygen Not Included and painted 1000 points of Warhammer 40k.

I'm looking forward to the new class and gems next month.

But the smart people are raging at a dev on an internet forum. Really?

I thought I’d be playing a beta with shit changing so much over the course of a week my head would spin, instead fucking d4 has had 2 seasons and we haven’t seen shit.

I finally had to block him.

Really though I see no reason to play this over Last Epoch next month if PoE2 end game is going to be the same. LE is apparently revamping their entire endgame so thats like 30-50 hours or something of stuff to do per season if its any good.

I love the game and plan on playing it more, and probably have more play time than most people here. I can be disappointed and upset while still liking the game.

LE til I get bored -> check out the Huntress and any new skill/support gems they've added in PoE2

I will say that the timing on release seems like there is clear intent behind it. GGG is trying to turn into a behemoth and is acting like it. Things aren't looking good in that regard from my perspective. They're getting Blizzardified and they are losing whatever goodwill they've earned over the years at record pace.

Chris is this true? I think you should let him know if he's past a certain amount of /played then he's not allowed to be critical.

I have plenty of played time but there are a lot of faults with PoE2. Graphics, first 3 acts, and fluid combat are the game's strength. The end game and crafting pretty much need to be overhauled. The idea of the towers is okay, but just not implemented well. Last Epoch has them beat in that regard. The maps are just pieces of what the first acts displayed with extra zones that probably are represented in the future acts. The end game really has this "Thrown together in a hurry" feel. It is a shame with everything they have to draw from in the first game. It is almost as if the first game never existed and this is their first attempt.

I enjoy the game because it is fun to play, but it lacks depth. It is why I will log on and play for like an hour and then quickly get bored. That will stop for a while when the new patch in Last Epoch drops. I just do not think this next patch for PoE2 is going to be that big of a deal. The hype feels way off. I think the company needs to truly figure out what they want to do with the first game. In all honesty, they should just scrap it and devote all resources to PoE2.

Poe2 right now is like p99 while eq is on expansion number 34, so its really only got nostalgia old players and noobs playing right now

Except when I was posting in the PoE thread since beta? And the Diablo threads too?
