Why the fuck would anyone play POE 1 when POE 2 is available? I have nothing against Poe 1but it's literally a game that's been around for over 13 years and is falling apart. The developers simply didn't plan for the game to become so big
>>
>>723886405
Is this and its sequel worth playing? The last ARPG I really remember going all in on was Marvel Heroes with a few thousand hours in the past, and this game suddenly popped on my radar and supposedly the devs want players to swap between games during seasons or something and that's why stash tabs and such carry over between games?

My other option is to buy Last Epoch & D4 + Expansion when Steam sale hits in about a week, but I heard something about a "stash tab sale" coming up on the 23rd for PoE and was interested in that too.
>>
>>723886405
Now that baldy is out, they instantly churn out all the QoL that was deliberately missing from the game, curious. Are they just gonna rip off Last Epoch as well?
>>
i will still flicker it's comfy playing flicker with a controller
>>
>>723890416
Because 2 feels less fun than 1.
>>
>>723890416
because poe1 is good today while even poe2 fans are mostly just saying "don't worry guys the game will be good eventually"
>>
>>723890625
Wait until they release Poe 2 and it become free. Poe 1 was a great game about a decade ago but not now. Especially for new players, they designed the game around people who treat it like a job. Poe 2 works in reverse and shows promise.
>>723890941
>>723891026
Poe 1 wasn't fun for years.
>>
>>723890625
I would strongly recommend poe1 over last epoch

Expedition to Kalandra was just 2 years out of 10+. It was fun again for most of the playerbase after that. Affliction league revitalized the game and that was 2 years ago now

>>723891820
1. an actual minion UI where you can just equip/augment itemized specters in an inventory screen
2. new ways to augment your specters/minions beyond just minion damage scaling and having 20 of them shooting 6 projectiles each while you're an aurabot for them
3. a reliable way to see specter abilities outside of using poedb

The last "fun"/somewhat good league was Ritual. After that it all went to shit (implying it was not like that since 3.0).

>>723892879
guy who has "played literally every archetype in the game" confused about why spectres aren't given super special unique treatment for no reason

My bad, didn't realize you're a first-order thinker.

if you actually played PoE, you'd realize GGG already does this for specters every time Ghazzy DMs Johnathan directly.
>>
>>723892857
>citation needed
I don't know how but Poe 1 works worse than Poe 2
>I think Chris getting a bag of money from Tencent
It was years after the game's release. Initially Poe 1 was just a fairly small game that was released unfinished and needed updates.
>>723892869
The difference between good and bad leagues for the average modern poe 1 player is whether they can complete all endgame in a week. Seriously, people are getting really frustrated every time their build requires them to actually play the game instead of just pressing one button.
>>
>>723886405
Why are they intentionally killing POE2 by updating this old shit still? I dont want to play the POE1 campaign again. I can't. It was fun a few times but it just feels like a slog now.
>>
I had more fun playing the single Act of Titan Quest 2 then I did the entirety of PoE2.

PoE2 least started pretty good but by the time I started moving around Act 3 the game fucking sucked horse cock.
>>
>>723893407
retard
>>
>>723893390
It's just old recycled content and Poe 2 stuff. Poe 1 will no longer receive any major unique updates, they sent almost everyone to work on Poe 2
>>
>>723893390
they know where the money comes from
>>
>>723890797
I kinda wish you could do good flicker builds without having to be crit focused.
>>
>>723893407
that's nice, i thought titan quest 2 was garbage in it's current form and would rather just play the original
>>
>>723893026
As fun as Ritual was I really don’t miss the old Atlas system.
>32 Watchstones
Nah fuck going back to that shit.
>>
>>723893580
30% of the flicker builds on poe.ninja literally cannot crit
>>
>>723893584
That's fair.
>>
>>723893026
Nah, it was Delve.
>>
>>723891543
Same except I actually like PoE2.

What killed PoE1 for me was realizing that leagues don't matter. If you want to farm the league mechanic, you just map. Any dedicated farm generally shits on normal mapping. Endgame mapping? With T17s you're farming the boss drops and not the league mechanics too. It literally doesn't matter to me what the league is, all my currency comes from other things anyway.

At least in PoE2 leagues still matter.
>>
>>723893659
I miss the OLD Atlas where there were no watchstones, and you did not need to grind Atlas and shards for 5th slot. And there was none of that retarded atlas passive tree either. They nerfed to shit every league mechanic and then made "atlas tree" that is not even 10th of what old stuff was.
>>723893872
I fucking hate delve, because they could make it better, but instead its more of the same.
>>
>>723894054
>not even 10th of what old stuff was.
you either didn't play the game back then or have on 3 inch thick rose-tinted glasses. not to mention most of the mechanics didn't even exist back then so your farm was shit like perandus and tempest.
>>

>I kinda wish you could do good flicker builds without having to be crit focused.
What's wrong with crit? Jewels are too pricey or something?
>>
>>723895279
thats not how the atlas works, and there are 6 slots in the map device not 5.
the 5th slot was added back in legion league.

Ah, right, makes sense. But also how can you get the trial plaques from global chat?
>>
>>723897139
Indeed, it doesnt. Just skip all of the content and grind atlas over and over and over. Maybe run some "juiced" "favoured" maps, meaning you run the same map 1000 times and just cross your fingers for good drops, because nothing gets your heart going like a zing sound from filter.
Great fucking game.
>>
>>723897590
there are 6 different lab trials that can spawn randomly in maps, you used to have to do all 6 of them to unlock the last labyrinth and finish your ascendancy. it was a massive pain in the ass and people would join each other's maps to get the trials they needed

GGG has no idea how to do leagues unlike diablo devs. Diablo always gives you transmogs and weapons, in POE you just lose your life, again, for free.

That's actually my friend's. I've (only) spent like 1300.
My friend group has at least 80k hours between us. None of us have had a mirror drop.
I got a mirror shard drop from harby when I abused the good watchstone, and i got 2 from settlers, multiple hinekoras locks, magebloods, and reflecting mists, no raw mirror though.
>>
>>723897662
>there are 6 different lab trials that can spawn randomly in maps
Oh shit, they're random? I never knew that, guess I got super lucky with getting them all blind.
>>
>>723897590
Someone finds a trial in the map. They announce it, you ping them, they invite you, you go to them and run it in their map. Bang, you got the plaque and can do uber lab (assuming you have the offering).

Back in the day you needed all 6 trials to unlock uber lab. Now its just one - any will do.

I'll just go on Blight maps again. That's still a pretty fun time waster league.

>>723897836
It appears you have a case of lack of comprehension.
Game sucks because in order to experience it not even in full you need to do a lot of setup. And if you want to experience it in full you need to treat it as if it is your main source of income.
Obviously, vast majority of people who are not NEETs or dedicated PoE streamers will not do that, so they skip as much of it as possible, which means they will be stuck on doing atlas, or the most boring/plain mechanics that require only minimum investment. However, in order to get even a minimum of satisfaction from that, maps have to be done in statistically significant numbers - 1000s, and that consumes a lot of time.
Both ways of engagement suck. Both consume autistic-level of time investment. Both are bad.
And then there is you, a fucking retard, who thinks both statements cannot be true, so he posts one of the most idiotic reation images as if it is an ultimate "got you". The irony of your post and the image attached to it is lost on you.

Reminder that Diablo 3 solved the leveling issue in 2014, there is literally no reason why you need to constantly redo the same acts in a campaign to experience the endgame that you've done 100 times.
