The endgame, the crux of the game, is in in its entirety. I'd say this thing may not have all the trimmings, but it's fulling fucking cooked. It's missing Act 4/5/6 and 6 classes and 24 ascendancies, but it's good to go. I'd consider those things being added in as free DLC at this point.

I've wondered if their plan is to slowly phase out POE1 and concentrate all their resources on POE2 at some point down the road.....wouldn't surprise me at all tbh.
Boat league has been going for way too long, but lets see how it shakes out once EA is underway officially.

Look at the people in this forum giving Blizzard money for their various reboots and rehashes of WoW. Complete abandonment of PoE1 would be a mistake. Given the amount of content in the game, it honestly doesn't need much. Just better shit than Archnemesis, Kalanda, Crucible, Necropolis, and Farmville. ToTA should be on that list, but I can admit it was least a modicum of effort.

2 looks so good graphically, not even mentioning all the cool content they showed today, that it would be hard for me to go back to 1 after.

It did look good, and most of the end game stuff was taken from POE1 already so that's why I'm thinking they may try and reboot with 2 while phasing out 1.
Who knows, maybe they will leave a skeleton crew on it, lol.
I, for one, really hope they keep both alive and thriving......just need a few unique and fun league ideas for 1. It seems to have a decent amount of devoted players every league, but maybe they expect everyone to migrate to 2 while also bringing a new audience?
Personally I was really looking forward to staggered leagues where as soon as one got boring you could move on to the other, and then repeat.

You've seen how messy and congested endgame PoE1 looks. I care very little about graphical fidelity in these types of games until some developer shows that combat can look good whilst still allowing you to discern important information. There's a reason PoE1 boss fights lean on audio cues.

Well visual clarity sucks in poe but humans process audio cues faster than visual that's why every good game has them since forever and why HC players always play with the sound on even while mapping.

Yes, but not everything can fit nicely into audio cues. Persistent effects like ground degens can cue when created but then easily covered up by other effects. I roll over searing exarch runes and other ground degens for this reasons.
Audio cues are definitely better, but I think desire for visual clarity is still something that should be striven towards. That they don't give us particle or opacity sliders is weird.

Damn they are ambitious, that’s a serious amount of content for early access. It’s more than most games years after their release. Obviously they are helped by taking stuff from PoE1 but still impressive.
I dislike that all league bosses they showed were all one-portal encounters. One death and you're kicked out. Combine that with the rate that their health depleted means they're 5-10 minute fights, and some of them are going to be real slogs.
