Blizzard must be thrilled with the way POE2 turned out

[Pat Splat]

This ain't it. I can't believe GGG thought this is a fun and interesting experience. I might finish the content that's currently available, but I'll probably just go back to POE1.

hmm, a game that's been out over 10 years vs a game in early access.. I wonder which one's gonna have more depth huh?

You're going to be begging GGG for a faster game or quit.

10-15 hours to get to maps instead of 3 hours.

The game with 13 years of content has more depth and experimentation than the early access game that just came out a week ago?

Damn dude, that crazy.

What's next?

Sky, blue?

Water, wet?

hmm yeah when you put it that way, you'd think GGG would end up making the perfect sequel.

Here's the thing with the current gameplay, it's fun whatever your level is.

Bingo. If they try to go back to that zoom and clear a room because your sperg build worked out game loop im done.

Theres definitely a split on what the playerbase defines as "fun" im realizing.

Hats off to GGG for bringing that to the table atleast.

Keep that same energy. I'm just going to tell yall now...when league play starts and yall beg GGG for a camapign skip feature...the answer will always be Hell No.

Just be mentally prepared for it. Reality is gonna come quick.

guys guys.. trust me I'm gonna be right someday, even if I'm not now and haven't ever been regarding this game.. I WILL BE!!

I beat act 1 in less than 2 hours with a ranger reroll from char creation to last boss, it's alright.

Wow...2 hours.....only 5 more Acts left until the real game begins.

"real game" you're the problem, it's you.

For the record, I hate Blizzard and love GGG. I really want this game to be in a good place soon, but I think it's gonna take a monumental effort to get it there and rethinking many systems currently in place.

Per character.....per league. Standard league is gonna be quite popular I predict.

As someone who played 1 and 2 this game just aint it for me.

I see your point but then there's a little incoherence, if the real long and deep game begins at end game, then there what are a couple of hours before that in comparison ?

Numbers don't lie. The vast majority of POE 1 new players dont make.it past Act 1. Even fewer make it to maps. It's easy to play the campaign now since you spent 30 bucks and want to get your monies worth. When its F2P....0 incentive to stay. We've seen it every league for years. This train is never late.

But making POE 2 slower, harder, and less rewarding somehow will fix this problem. Lol

Difference is....Hardcore game mode.....Good luck starting over, Made a bad build...have fun starting over, Bored and want to play a different build...have fun starting over.

This time adds up and will take a toll. I know what's coming. 3 hour zoom zoom campaign lessens the sting.
