Do you want poe 2 to be as fast as poe 1, and why?

[Delaborga]

im of the mind that i like the way POE 2 has been approached, a slower more deliberate combat that feels more chunky and visceral. bosses that feel like your actually fighting them

in poe1 its just 1 button spams, with auras and zoom zoom zoom maps as fast as you can,
i dont understand why things like flicker strike should be in poe 2, if people wants the game to turn into a fast poe 1 style game then why do they even want to update poe 1 with leagues, there is NO reason to play POE 1 if it eventually just becomes so poe 2 is the same game but better in EVERY aspect, i like there to be a difference, but what do you want

lets discuss, i dont want a super slow combat, but i definetly dont need it to feel like im playing poe 1 again

i just want to do pinnacle as noob and with my bad pc , protected by my riches in game

As much as I love running at mach 5 and one shotting everything, I hope it doesn't play as PoE 1. If I ever feel like doing that, I'll just go back for a league or two.

Seems like they don't want PoE 2 heading in that direction too, but time will tell. From what they've shown so far, game is definitely A LOT slower, though, I don't think it'll play out as slow as showcased.

Yes, I don't like the "1 button clears screen" gameplay, thankfully by the gameplay videos we have it seems like they managed to get rid of that pretty nicely without sacrificing the fun.

[Tech Enthusiast]

Oh god, no.
PoE 1 is way too fast and ridiculous.
I don't mind screen clearing aoes so much, but don't also pair those with zapping across a whole map / dungeon / rift / whatever they will call it, in seconds.

Combat is not going to be like poe1, it will be fast end game but not fast as poe1, it's better now.

[Hanariel]

Too fast of a game like POE1 renders all your choises irrelevant.
You are a two handed brute with a giant hammer? Explode the screen and teleport!
A cunning rogue? Explode the screen and teleport!
A Powerful mage? Explode the screen and teleport!
A summoner of the undead? Explode the screen and teleport!

You got the deal.

Nobody likes cleaning a pack of normal monsters in 1 hour. On the other hand it's ridiculous running a game where you oneshot everyone with one click as if it's running a god mod. It's ridiculous and moreover toxic if you play in a party. It's been years I don't play in group in poe1 as it's not funny at all. The game should have the proper speed

doing a diablo 2 style feels more down my alley than poe 1 and d3 d4, so give me something more impactful, playing group in poe1 feels like your trying to speedrun vs your friend in a map

[Cheez™]

No I like it to be slower like the videos I've seen. In fact this was one of the bigger reasons that made me to actually buy the EA and be excited for POE 2. This and gems on items being a thing of the past.

[Everyone]

There is an asumption that normal monsters don't drop anything and if you go slow you get low rewards per minute. However, it can all be adjusted so that slower pace still provides the same rewards per minute. If that's the case, I don't think people will care too much.

I want something in between of early PoE1 and later PoE1. Before ascendancy trials and act 5+ got released, I think around time when Malachai got released was perfect. It was faster than early version, but not as fast when Kitava and Shaper got released. Looking at the stream, i think i like what i see, for now.

They got rid of movement skills and put dodge on a cooldown. So it is already will be a lot slower than current PoE1.

the righteous fire build is cool and all but i dont want stuff like that XD

Active blocking means you need to see where the attack comes from and who is attacking you. In POE 1 end game the're just a shiny mass of disco-blob enemies and you cant's see a thing.

PoE2 currently looks better in every single way. I dislike the game play of PoE. It's a mindless game outside of playing with builds. I know PoE has a fan base that I'm not a part of, so who am I to want PoE2 to be different. I can only say that I will play up to the moment I no longer enjoy it, which will absolutely be when it starts to feel like it's trending towards path of aoe.

poe 1 might be good game, but failed hard at some things. This is one of them .
