PoE 2 is worth to buy if i a totally newbie?

[DaiMneNebo]

I never played in original poe and I want to know if it is worth buying poe 2? Because I heard that the first part was too hardcore and with a lot of grinding and that the second part will be more favorable to newbies. Is this true?

Everyone was a "newbie" at some point. Obviously enough people played PoE for it to be successful. Why not just try out the games yourself instead of relying on rumours?

True

Poe2 will be more accessible to new players in every way.

Nobody will be able to answer that but you.
Just watch some videos and think about it.

i'm gonna go out on a limb without having played POE2 and say that a game from Grinding Gear Games might still have a lot of grinding for gear in the game

I recommend you to try PoE1 during this week. OPther than the gem skill and sockets simplification, I bet PoE2 will be sam-my in complexity

Now is the perfect moment to get into a game while it is not bloated with decade worth of content. It is simpler to build basic understanding this way and continue to build on top of it with each following league.

It is more favorable to newbies. Each thing you may want to do in poe 1 has 10 ways to do it, while poe 2 has one, at least for now.

Good post.

Poe2 will be a lot easier to get into ,skills/support gem system changes/no more 6L items ,better system explanations, an in-game wiki, recommended support gems for each skill,gold respec ,currency AH (these 2 systems are in Poe 1 too)
Focus on a one thing at a time ,set goals , like finishing the campaign and take it slow, coop will be better too in Poe2 skills interact with each other like they showed in the gameplay trailer so if a player puts down a flame wall you can interact with that shoot lightning through it and it will buff your skill , a lot of interactions like that

All the Poe2 endgame systems Breach,Expedition,Ritual,Delirium,Trial of Sekhema(ex sanctum),Trial of the Chaos(ex ultimatum) are past Poe1 league mechanics with small/big changes, that they introduced back in the base game and that's how they build a massive endgame system
