Not to mention if you played poe1 or you played poe2 and wants to play poe1, all ur purchases (stash tabs or mtx) are shared to both games meaning you can use the stash tabs and pet you just purchased in poe1 also! And if you purchased the $30 and wants to upgrade to the $100 then your purchase will be discounted with the first pack youve purchased so $100 pack is now $70 !
Feels like Blizzard employed "simple out of college programers" instead of "real hardcore arpg gamer-programmers", which GGG seem to have a bunch of! 😆
@@barbademojon Not true. They just have the old Blizzard North people attend Exile Con. Brevik, the creator of Diablo, doesn't work for GGG. The other big names of Blizz North have their own company. GGG honors the greats, but this is all them.
Personally I'd say poe1 has too many drops and skill sockets being on gear feels just limiting after poe2 and yet it's an amazing game, you should definitely try it
More skills, more armour, more weapons, more monsters, more bosses and a lot more will come on release. Word is, there will be two more classes that will be released in the EA.
5:17 TLDR: It's basically poe2 with extreme power creep. Bosses are designed well and the overall game is fun in a different way. All the poe2 current league mechanics in the endgame already exist in poe1 with a whole lot more league mechanics to discover. Stuff that haven't made it into poe2 are: Blight, Delve, Heist, Syndicate, Einhar, Alva(temple of atzoatl), Affliction, Sentinel, Legion(a community favourite), Harbingers, Abyss, Harvest, Rogue exiles, Torment, Lord's Labyrinth, Beyond(kind of exists in poe2 but not fully), Shaper Guardians, Elder Guardians, Synthesis, Conqueror's. There's also leagues that were not made core in poe1 like: Trial of the Ancestors, Necropolis, Crucible, Metamorph(used to be core), prophecy(used to be core) etc. Main differences between two games: in poe1 you'll scale and use at most 1 or 2 abilities or else you'll feel powerless against most content. Poe1 is much more faster, with entire 10 acts can be done in only about 12-15 hours if you're a new player. Poe1 bosses feel trivial up until endgame, in the endgame they feel like act bosses of poe2. Gearing in the game is difficult and easy in different ways, it is easier to get better rare items and the modifiers you want, however the sockets for gems need to be the same color as the gem you're socketing, which makes it harder to get the right item you want. Poe1's crafting is vastly superior than the current version of poe2's crafting, like not even close, it's like comparing a mountain with a pebble. In poe1 on most builds, your mana will be reserved down to 3-5% mana for auras and the rest will be used with mana leech so you can keep using your skills In poe1 there's 5 flask slots which you can put flasks with different buffs and they're very powerful, they can be made automatic but only in endgame and with enough investment for gaining charges. Poe1 has about 10 times more unique items than poe2 which opens up even more build options. Poe1 uber bosses require extreme amounts of investments to kill, to the point where some builds just will not be good enough to fight them, however if you wish to finish all content except ubers, you can do so with any kind of skill and build with enough and right investment. Poe1 has so many discovered interactions and build variations that might pique your interest. Unlike poe2 where most people are sticking to their class, in poe1 there are builds like spell totems on marauder, explosive arrow ballista's on witch, sword skills on shadow etc. Ascending in poe1 is much more easier than in poe2, trial of the sechemaz is an optional side content in poe1 called the forbidden sanctum. You instead need to do Lord's labyrinth 4 times, which gets increasingly difficult with each ascention, but it's extremely trivial if you know what you're doing.
Also I forgot to say, but if you want to start playing poe1, start with Settler's of kalguur league because currently, there's no way to respec using gold other than in that league. It'll be a way better experience for beginners.
Ya man, brand new to poe, and poe2 has felt been so fun to play through. Truly don’t get the difficulty concerns, sure there are spikes here and there, but this game is so easy to feel powerful when you’re leveling. I have yet to experience the end game, since I’ve been having too much fun leveling different characters through the first three acts, but I’m excited to give it a try.
Welcome to Path of Nerds :D I give you a friendly advice, now that you have some experience, start play SSF (SC or HC) is completely another feeling, the trading economy unfortunately is ruined by RMT so play SSF for me is the best solution atm.
I do recommend Path of Exile 1. Also if you aren't familiar. Since you got the supporter pack and probably already spent on Stash tabs. Since players already had their Stash tabs transfered from 1 to 2. The same can be done from 2 to 1. Along with cosmetics for your character and hideouts.
POE1 has the build-up of a decade of seasonal content, most of which was rolled in to the core game, so walking through it and seeing the carnival of in map events that pop up can be an overwhelming experience. It also explains itself a lot more poorly, both in plot/narrative and in how its systems and abilities work. Making your own build is a recipe for disaster until you have a pretty significant amount of experience, because there are a lot of ways to screw up in a way that it's easier to start over from scratch than to fix it (though we'll see if they implement gold based respec next season, that might solve that problem). The visuals have improved over the years but they're still dated, and it lacks WASD support and controllers aren't as good as POE2's. But it's also an absolute masterpiece. The power scaling from waking up on the beach and struggling to beat a zombie to death with a hunk of driftwood until you're turbo zooming through the galaxy and adding as many optional difficulty modifiers to the gods you're killing as you can find to boost your loot even further is insane, in a good way. And the endgame is a lot better developed. POE2's endgame still needs work before it's release ready.
This is what PoE 1 players have been trying to tell everyone for the last 10 years. If you thought D4 was going to be a return to form then you haven't been paying attention, D3 was that alarm bell. PoE 1 was what D3 should have been. GGG is one of the best developers there is right now with how they interact with the community and work their asses off. It's about time they finally got the attention they deserve.
i'm in 120 hours. i upgraded my rx580 for 6700xt just for this game. 1500 hours in poe1. aAmazinf ! i'm witch level84 end game t15 map. and..... i played poe1 for 2 league kulgar settle it's insane fun. i learnt soooo much. k*** me im only 2 weeks in and im end game. i still have 5 more class to play to level 80 to learn. by that time there be another 6 new classes. the value is insane. i'm sooo happy for the chase n learning. 1 major tip. max ur rarity 100-200% on gear n charm. even t1 - t 5 maps drop tons on currency n divine (my first.) and take the " biome knowledge " atlas tee nodes for more currency drops. for now i'm mainly farming for currencies for my alt new character soon. also use gold more get more sell gold to buy t1 map to go very far. get more towers and tablets. *** major tips. league mechanics in poe2 is Extremely Rippy in high tier like t13-t15. *** it's ways easier just run t1 map and go for mechanics for "distill currencies etc". breach n delirium is pain. another is if "the place is corrupted+ irradiated(+2 levels). t15 maps becomes t18 maps!

If you see negative comments about PoE2, all you're seeing is people spewing negativity because they can. It's immensely popular. And it's not even what D4 should have been. It's what Diablo 3(!) could have been. The dark atmosphere, the simple yet complex mechanics. It's SO much better than diablo has been since diablo 2. Diablo 2 had the best damn cinematics possible, and deserved a good sequel. Blizzard has shit the bed pretty hard in the diablo microcosm ever since. The gameplay in D4 is decent. But it came out unfinished. And playing it even now, you run out of content pretty quick. All classes feel lackluster in endgame. And especially because of the viable builds available, most ppl end up following a guide and it so linear and has no proper progression. PoE2 is hard. The right kind of hard. The kind of hard where all decisions matter. All pieces of gear matter. I haven't even reached maps yet, but I have faith that GGG will polish it and release a game with a satisfying leveling experience as well as an improved endgame.
@@metallicafan416 It's not luck. It's randomness. It's different. But you gotta realize you can do pretty much anything up until endgame by buying stuff off vendors at each levelup if there's anything good, and then once you hit endgame, you use the trade website.
I did the 100 dollar game because I know what GGG is all about and they can have my money to build the greatest ARPG of all time. It’ll take tweaking and work and if my dollars can help get there then so be it
@@AntonKarpuzikov so there was some here however since I’m on Xbox and don’t have a capture card (yet….) I just record clips on Xbox and edit them there. I would love to record a run through though
Once you feel you "finish" PoE2, you can try out PoE1, afterall PoE2 is still early access AND there's gonna new league coming soon for PoE1, which gonna be another whole new content, heck, called it an expansion to the the first game near end of January which always spice up their prequel game, and that's what make PoE1 so successful in every league(season)
Poe2 is more beginner friendly, poe is fun but there is alot mechanics to deal with so can easily be overwhelming. You don't need to play poe1 to enjoy poe2 but check the lore, alot of stuff will make more sense in Poe2.
So many people have been missing out on the true successor of Diablo for so long. PoE1 has been the best ARPG for over a decade. There's simply no question now with PoE 2, or there won't be when the game releases.
Poe1 will always be around. The current league is good fun with its town building mechanic. I would say check it out. Try what the league does and maybe play casually now and then on the side. A new league will come out eventually and you can maybe alternate between 1 and 2 if it keeps your attention.
Agree with you 100%. Played Diablo series since it launched and became quite the fanboy. Never gave PoE a chance till D4 launched. I downloaded PoE only to realize a PoE2 was almost here so I dabbled with PoE a bit but mostly waited on PoE2 EA. Game doesn't disappoint and it's everything D4 should have been. Granted there are a few issues I'd like to see resolved, some already have and probably the majority will be over the course of EA. Only issue I really have is gearing. I'm standard SSF and I've hit walls on a lot of my characters. If you don't trade it's too easy to hit these walls because if you don't have high RNG then you just won't upgrade gear enough and by Act 3 you are hitting like a wet noodle. If they turned the trade system into more like an insta-buy auction house I might would consider it but it seems so rudimentary having to go on a website then track the player down in-game. I would rather just find my own gear, upgrade, or craft my own gear but the crafting in PoE2 is merely upgrade simulator. Other than that, game is absolutely worth the price of admission at $30 because even that money you can purchase ingame stash tabs or cosmetics.
Current blizzard is what happens when you fire all of your actual talent, replace them with a bunch of activists, and then market to as "wide of an audience as possible" instead of making a game for an actual audience the genre is meant for. You get nothing but toned down slop that have all their identity ripped out of them to make them "safe." This is why i havent played a AAA game in years (other than Monster Hunter). AA and indie games are the only ones who arent afraid to make games that are actual fun and have identity to them and GGG goes far above and beyond with their games.
Can't wait for the day people calm down so that they can properly critique the pros and cons of POE2 in mass. No hiding now... D4 has it's flaws, but POE2 has plenty to improve upon.
The game has a solid foundation and the best boss fights ive experienced in any Arpg that ove played but theres so many issues with it in its current state that makes me question people that endlessly praising it. Crafting being a complete gambling simulator with item like omens that can lessen the RNG are so rare they may as well not exist. Maps being so big that it feels like a slog to move through them, even with 30% movement speed on boots. The end game maping feels AI generated with overly punishing death mechanics that dont respect rhe players time. Magic find being so potent that once you find out how much of an impact it makes with currency drops you kick youself for not getting it earlier. In death effects still popping off and frustrating players even after the last patch. Just some issues off the top of my head. These will likely get adressed further into EA but the current state of the game isnt anything revolutionary.
While i love path of exile 2 diablo 4 is fun too me as well. I have zero complaints with diablo 4.....path of exile is still rough around the edges and needs a ton of work diablo 4 is much more fleshed out.
I disagree. Diablo 4 did have more methodical gameplay at the start and the community railed, rallied and cried against it. Because it straight up has a different audience.
I havent played poe2 yet, just seen a lot of videos and gameplay about it. Im kinda 50/50 on it right now since I love how the campaign looks from a gameplay perspective and despise how the endgame looks with screen clearing one taps for some of those builds. The latter is just a worse version of poe1 and I have no desire to engage in this kind of content. I hope they rectify this and stick to their vision because it feels like endgame was just bare bones copy pasted from poe1
@@celticreviews3899 people say this like early access means early alpha. The game is 6-12 months from release. We'll see where they want to take the game in the next couple months
@@JiggleBill You want to blitz through maps clicking one button while turning your brain off? No thanks. I think the vast majority of people who played poe2 preferred the campaign over the mapping experience. As it looks youll probably get it your way which is fine. I dont need to keep playing.
@@Kinta02 while it is possible to make one button builds most even in end game are not. Im running juiced T15s and my minion build has a loop of 5 buttons. It kinda sounds like you don't really know what you're talking about. Feel free to run maps like you ran the campaign, just take zero movement speed and kneecap your DPS. Maps have similar layouts with repeat campaign bosses. Have at it, but dont try to force everyone to do it. Yeh maybe end game in ARPGs isnt your thing. Finish the campaign and move on.
Cool so how does it compare to project Diablo or any of the mods? No one cares or thinks blizzard games are good anymore. Diablo 2 is the comparison point.
I’m sick of the poe2 gushing. It’s an average experience. Not as polished as d4 but has better boss fights. Poe2 business and countless idiotic currencies detract from what could be a much more fun experience.
The game is OK, but not more than that. It is definitely better than Diablo. But the difficulty is mainly in the character build and equipment. Once you look up a good build online, you can faceroll through the campaign. The game makes it seem that the game gives you so many passives and skills, but only a small fraction of it is viable. The items do not feel impactfull to me as well, most items are garbage. I am not hating on the game, but I don‘t get the hype.
Game isn’t for you. You don’t get it. The entire point is building the character. Once your build is done the fun is over. I’ll spend 400 hours theory crafting and making a build and then quit playing a dozen hours after it’s done. The fun parts over at that point.
@@snapshot79 tbh ARPGs like PoE are pretty niche still. Even more so once you start getting into the end game. It's ok though we all have that type of game. I wish i could get into MMOs but ive literally bounced off everyone ive ever tried. Just not for me.
I have thousands of hours in PoE1 for other arpgs I have played: Torchlight 2, Diablo 2 (resurrected), Diablo 3, Last Epoch, and Grim Dawn I by FAR prefer PoE1 to all of the above. although Grim Dawn had some individual things I loved, the main selling point of PoE was the end game. I am a relatively casual player. "Casual? in MY spreadsheet simulator PoE??" yeah, it's a thing. I found skills/items I enjoyed using, googled builds for them, and used those as a template. I changed some stuff around according to what felt best. but as a casual, I /hate/ farming the same bosses over and over and over and over. its so BORING. PoE fixed that. they have SO many end game mechanics. if I feel like playing fuckin tower defense instead of farming bosses, I can. All gear is tradeable and all end game activities can generate you currency. Hell, I know there are people that play PoE just to "play the market". they sit in their base all day and trade. because they find that enjoyable. that sounds awful to me, but the fact that there are so many different ways to play is absolutely amazing. PoE2 has half, or less, of PoE1's content. but GGG is planning on adding much more later. and the content that is current available does still provide players with several options for how they want to play "end game". The feel of the game is completely different, but that's not a bad thing. I think its really interesting. I'm actually quite enjoying the dodge roll, and I like that if you are skilled enough you can overcome bosses that may outlevel/outgear you. or vice versa. if you suck at Souls games like me, then you can just farm up a bit then try the boss again later. having the option of skill expression is amazing. I am a little disappointed with the current mapping in PoE2, and am sad that they already nerfed meta/trigger abilities. But the gameplay itself is fresh enough that I'm still playing it despite my go-to builds from PoE1 not being available. and I'm REALLY excited for the new classes that were not available in PoE1. *I think many players are a bit disappointed with the mapping, and it'll probably get tweaked soon as some random bonus facts: 1. GGG gave me a beta key just for having spent a lot of money on PoE1 2. I only spent that much money on PoE1 because I wanted to support them. I didnt even like the cosmetics I got from buying that top tier supporter pack. I just thought they deserved it. 3. they are planning to allow ALL purchased PoE1 microtransactions to be available for use in PoE2. right now they're not yet implemented, but that's so fucking nice of them. I actually feel like a valued customer, and that I didn't waste my money
GGG is a great company. A LOT of the systems in PoE2 are from PoE1. It's a different game, similar. Try it though, GGG is a good company. Would recommend a build guide until you understand the way things work.
You should play the next season of the original PoE (probably february). End game has much more content (more pinnacle bosses, search youtube for Shaper, Sirus and Maven) and gameplay is faster.
Not to mention if you played poe1 or you played poe2 and wants to play poe1, all ur purchases (stash tabs or mtx) are shared to both games meaning you can use the stash tabs and pet you just purchased in poe1 also! And if you purchased the $30 and wants to upgrade to the $100 then your purchase will be discounted with the first pack youve purchased so $100 pack is now $70 !
Yeah, if you had spent X amount on PoE1 they gave you access. After 10 years playing PoE1 I have some stuff, lol.
@@OldGoat-cw8he $480 to be exact
If you've already spent 120 dollars, I think you can just email support and ask them to upgrade your pack.

After diablo 3 there's no way in hell D4 was ever going to be anything close to poe2

by that time there be another 6 new classes. the value is insane. i'm sooo happy for the chase n learning.
1 major tip. max ur rarity 100-200% on gear n charm. even t1 - t 5 maps drop tons on currency n divine (my first.)
and take the " biome knowledge " atlas tee nodes for more currency drops.
for now i'm mainly farming for currencies for my alt new character soon.
also use gold more get more sell gold to buy t1 map to go very far. get more towers and tablets.
*** major tips. league mechanics in poe2 is Extremely Rippy in high tier like t13-t15.

another is if "the place is corrupted+ irradiated(+2 levels). t15 maps becomes t18 maps! (bosses drop tons on t11-15 maps.)

I did the 100 dollar game because I know what GGG is all about and they can have my money to build the greatest ARPG of all time. It’ll take tweaking and work and if my dollars can help get there then so be it
would be cool of you can record your first time gameplay
@@AntonKarpuzikov so there was some here however since I’m on Xbox and don’t have a capture card (yet….) I just record clips on Xbox and edit them there. I would love to record a run through though
Once you feel you "finish" PoE2, you can try out PoE1, afterall PoE2 is still early access AND there's gonna new league coming soon for PoE1, which gonna be another whole new content, heck, called it an expansion to the the first game near end of January which always spice up their prequel game, and that's what make PoE1 so successful in every league(season)
@@cabal123123123 i actually have it installed atm as everyone is telling me to play path of exile 1
Merey christmas bud! I feel the same as you screw d4 im never touching it again. Poe2 is too much fun! Try the witch minions build . So fun.
Poe2 is more beginner friendly, poe is fun but there is alot mechanics to deal with so can easily be overwhelming.
You don't need to play poe1 to enjoy poe2 but check the lore, alot of stuff will make more sense in Poe2.
Amen brother
So many people have been missing out on the true successor of Diablo for so long. PoE1 has been the best ARPG for over a decade. There's simply no question now with PoE 2, or there won't be when the game releases.
Poe1 will always be around. The current league is good fun with its town building mechanic. I would say check it out. Try what the league does and maybe play casually now and then on the side.
A new league will come out eventually and you can maybe alternate between 1 and 2 if it keeps your attention.
Everything about poe 2 awesome except it is not a loot game it's a grind game . I am done for now will come back at full release.
Agree with you 100%. Played Diablo series since it launched and became quite the fanboy. Never gave PoE a chance till D4 launched. I downloaded PoE only to realize a PoE2 was almost here so I dabbled with PoE a bit but mostly waited on PoE2 EA. Game doesn't disappoint and it's everything D4 should have been. Granted there are a few issues I'd like to see resolved, some already have and probably the majority will be over the course of EA. Only issue I really have is gearing. I'm standard SSF and I've hit walls on a lot of my characters. If you don't trade it's too easy to hit these walls because if you don't have high RNG then you just won't upgrade gear enough and by Act 3 you are hitting like a wet noodle. If they turned the trade system into more like an insta-buy auction house I might would consider it but it seems so rudimentary having to go on a website then track the player down in-game. I would rather just find my own gear, upgrade, or craft my own gear but the crafting in PoE2 is merely upgrade simulator. Other than that, game is absolutely worth the price of admission at $30 because even that money you can purchase ingame stash tabs or cosmetics.
I played Diablo for a few days and then I was like, all right Let me try PO2 and I deleted Diablo 4
Current blizzard is what happens when you fire all of your actual talent, replace them with a bunch of activists, and then market to as "wide of an audience as possible" instead of making a game for an actual audience the genre is meant for. You get nothing but toned down slop that have all their identity ripped out of them to make them "safe."
This is why i havent played a AAA game in years (other than Monster Hunter). AA and indie games are the only ones who arent afraid to make games that are actual fun and have identity to them and GGG goes far above and beyond with their games.
Can't wait for the day people calm down so that they can properly critique the pros and cons of POE2 in mass. No hiding now... D4 has it's flaws, but POE2 has plenty to improve upon.
@@LurnWell that’s true however it’s still better than D4 imo
currently they are in the best league ever for PoE 1, you should immediately drop poe2 and play it while it's still the thing
The game has a solid foundation and the best boss fights ive experienced in any Arpg that ove played but theres so many issues with it in its current state that makes me question people that endlessly praising it.
Crafting being a complete gambling simulator with item like omens that can lessen the RNG are so rare they may as well not exist.
Maps being so big that it feels like a slog to move through them, even with 30% movement speed on boots.
The end game maping feels AI generated with overly punishing death mechanics that dont respect rhe players time.
Magic find being so potent that once you find out how much of an impact it makes with currency drops you kick youself for not getting it earlier.
In death effects still popping off and frustrating players even after the last patch.
Just some issues off the top of my head. These will likely get adressed further into EA but the current state of the game isnt anything revolutionary.
While i love path of exile 2 diablo 4 is fun too me as well. I have zero complaints with diablo 4.....path of exile is still rough around the edges and needs a ton of work diablo 4 is much more fleshed out.
I disagree. Diablo 4 did have more methodical gameplay at the start and the community railed, rallied and cried against it. Because it straight up has a different audience.
@@insomniaddictesp i respect your opinion
still sane exile?
I havent played poe2 yet, just seen a lot of videos and gameplay about it. Im kinda 50/50 on it right now since I love how the campaign looks from a gameplay perspective and despise how the endgame looks with screen clearing one taps for some of those builds.
The latter is just a worse version of poe1 and I have no desire to engage in this kind of content. I hope they rectify this and stick to their vision because it feels like endgame was just bare bones copy pasted from poe1
@@Kinta02 well also keep in mind that this is early access and only halfway done
You want end game to be as slow as act 1 normal? No thanks. It’s a power fantasy. Let me build a powerful character.
@@celticreviews3899 people say this like early access means early alpha. The game is 6-12 months from release.
We'll see where they want to take the game in the next couple months
@@JiggleBill You want to blitz through maps clicking one button while turning your brain off? No thanks.
I think the vast majority of people who played poe2 preferred the campaign over the mapping experience.
As it looks youll probably get it your way which is fine. I dont need to keep playing.
@@Kinta02 while it is possible to make one button builds most even in end game are not. Im running juiced T15s and my minion build has a loop of 5 buttons. It kinda sounds like you don't really know what you're talking about.
Feel free to run maps like you ran the campaign, just take zero movement speed and kneecap your DPS. Maps have similar layouts with repeat campaign bosses. Have at it, but dont try to force everyone to do it.
Yeh maybe end game in ARPGs isnt your thing. Finish the campaign and move on.
Cool so how does it compare to project Diablo or any of the mods? No one cares or thinks blizzard games are good anymore. Diablo 2 is the comparison point.
@@malygos9301 so far at least to me I would put this on the level of Diablo 2
Is tat a skill tree well I’m leaving thi alone
@@matthewmoore5698 it’s a passive tree
I’m sick of the poe2 gushing. It’s an average experience. Not as polished as d4 but has better boss fights. Poe2 business and countless idiotic currencies detract from what could be a much more fun experience.
@@monalisa-bs4zs This is your opinion. People are enjoying it more then D4
Hot take POE 2 sucks. It's just no fun. Basically even worst then POE1 (if that's possible).
Actually go play d4 and enjoy a fun game.
@@stubbornlyundergeared6894 I mean this is your opinion
Some people prefer checkers over chess and that’s fine.
The game is OK, but not more than that. It is definitely better than Diablo. But the difficulty is mainly in the character build and equipment. Once you look up a good build online, you can faceroll through the campaign. The game makes it seem that the game gives you so many passives and skills, but only a small fraction of it is viable. The items do not feel impactfull to me as well, most items are garbage. I am not hating on the game, but I don‘t get the hype.
Game isn’t for you. You don’t get it. The entire point is building the character. Once your build is done the fun is over. I’ll spend 400 hours theory crafting and making a build and then quit playing a dozen hours after it’s done. The fun parts over at that point.
@ you might be right here, seems it is not for me.
@@snapshot79 tbh ARPGs like PoE are pretty niche still. Even more so once you start getting into the end game. It's ok though we all have that type of game. I wish i could get into MMOs but ive literally bounced off everyone ive ever tried. Just not for me.
I have thousands of hours in PoE1
for other arpgs I have played: Torchlight 2, Diablo 2 (resurrected), Diablo 3, Last Epoch, and Grim Dawn
I by FAR prefer PoE1 to all of the above. although Grim Dawn had some individual things I loved, the main selling point of PoE was the end game.
I am a relatively casual player. "Casual? in MY spreadsheet simulator PoE??" yeah, it's a thing. I found skills/items I enjoyed using, googled builds for them, and used those as a template. I changed some stuff around according to what felt best. but as a casual, I /hate/ farming the same bosses over and over and over and over. its so BORING.
PoE fixed that.
they have SO many end game mechanics. if I feel like playing fuckin tower defense instead of farming bosses, I can. All gear is tradeable and all end game activities can generate you currency.
Hell, I know there are people that play PoE just to "play the market". they sit in their base all day and trade. because they find that enjoyable. that sounds awful to me, but the fact that there are so many different ways to play is absolutely amazing.
PoE2 has half, or less, of PoE1's content. but GGG is planning on adding much more later. and the content that is current available does still provide players with several options for how they want to play "end game".
The feel of the game is completely different, but that's not a bad thing. I think its really interesting. I'm actually quite enjoying the dodge roll, and I like that if you are skilled enough you can overcome bosses that may outlevel/outgear you. or vice versa. if you suck at Souls games like me, then you can just farm up a bit then try the boss again later. having the option of skill expression is amazing.
I am a little disappointed with the current mapping in PoE2, and am sad that they already nerfed meta/trigger abilities. But the gameplay itself is fresh enough that I'm still playing it despite my go-to builds from PoE1 not being available. and I'm REALLY excited for the new classes that were not available in PoE1.
*I think many players are a bit disappointed with the mapping, and it'll probably get tweaked soon
as some random bonus facts:
1. GGG gave me a beta key just for having spent a lot of money on PoE1
2. I only spent that much money on PoE1 because I wanted to support them. I didnt even like the cosmetics I got from buying that top tier supporter pack. I just thought they deserved it.
3. they are planning to allow ALL purchased PoE1 microtransactions to be available for use in PoE2. right now they're not yet implemented, but that's so fucking nice of them. I actually feel like a valued customer, and that I didn't waste my money
Not quite. POE2 feels like a slog fest. Slow and boring. D4 is not an authentic D2 remake either. That’s what everyone compares D4 too.
@@primalwolf9045 your opinion
GGG is a great company. A LOT of the systems in PoE2 are from PoE1. It's a different game, similar. Try it though, GGG is a good company. Would recommend a build guide until you understand the way things work.
poe 2 isn't poe 2
@@obscurside3652 yes it is…it’s path of exile 2
You should play the next season of the original PoE (probably february). End game has much more content (more pinnacle bosses, search youtube for Shaper, Sirus and Maven) and gameplay is faster.
@@jbleargh I most definitely will thank you
