Worth the money?

[wonderfuljinn]

Hello, PoE fan here, spent like 1200 hours in the first one, would like to know if buying early is a skip or otherwise.

This one is slower and more tactical, in the first one you make build and enjoy the genocide, this one you gotta be paying attention still.

Very different games in terms of combat honestly. I prefer this but if you come expecting POE1 but prettier you'll be underwhelmed.

It's strange to me that someone who spent so much time in the first would even ask this question. But yes, as a long time fan, the supporter pack for $30 is a very reasonable asking price for the enjoyment you will almost certainly receive from playing this.

It is actually a better game, and I have thousands of hours on POE. That's my opinion, but one quite a few other share as well.

Not at the moment. It's like half of an actual game or a different genre (Souls-like) - starting from zero to none uniques, bad loot, slow-paced combat where you kite mobs instead of mowing them down in mass, aRPG-style

If you are looking for a PoE game, this isn't it. Everything you feel in PoE1 is the opposite here. You won't feel powerful or get tons of loot, and you won't move quickly. Get ready to learn to dodge roll, it will be your most used "skill" for any class.

If you aren't looking for a constant challenge or don't like restarting new characters due to mistakes blocking progress then you might want to hold off for a bit and see if some tweaks are made.

don't let others decide for you, it's your taste and your money that's up to you.
watch a gamplay video and make your own opinion unless you want to reinforce a choice already made.
here you would have opinions and all their opposites.
Personally I like this game, it's a real evolution of POE, but you have to like testing/building a character

[Kangaxx]

Doesn't worth. Especially if you're PoE1 fan or ARPG fan.
This game is bad for now.

[Ki11s0n3]

No. Game is fun, but not worth paying to play early because you get basically nothing for doing so unless you buy one of the $60+ packs which aren't worth it to begin with as costumes should not cost $60+.

It's worth it.

Just don't expect loot explosions and zoom zoom gameplay.

Its different, but very fun.

PoE 2 is immediately clear that it is the son of PoE 1 for better or for worse.

Don't expect a game that takes you by the hand and takes you for a ride hopping on the meadows, the game puts you to the test from the beginning and the bosses require strategy and a certain skill.

You are an Exile... there is no mercy for those like us here. :D

dont listen to the chills here in this forum. its just hilarious whats goin on right now. most of the answers here straight out spread false information.

im playing warrior and altho i invested almost everything in defense my kill speed with average gear is pretty fast

dodge roll is 100% not my most used skill. i use it occasionally to dodge heavy attacks. it just a cool feature to use

all that crying , and theres a lot of that rn, comes from people wanting to rush through the game. without going back or stayin in the current area they are in at the moment
to farm some exp and or items

then they cry about how bad/slow the game is altho they obviously dont understand the most basic aspects of arpg games

go spend the money to get a key and enjoy the game. its already quite polished for an EA

[Polaire]

Camera doesn't show everything, loot is not really rewarding, body block is everywhere, map are huge but exploration is useless, melee is broken, hard tracking is insane. But yes it's a good game

[Witch]

If you have other games that you like to play, just wait the release. If you are a no life with no game to play, it's worth.

[Pumix]

300 coins and poe2 beta, worth it 100%

PoE2 is a ruthless mode. if you like ruthless mode - buy it.
