Its kind of funny cause a new league recently came out and a new one is not even 2 weeks away and yet they are still complaining about POE 2 and bashing it like anyone really cares about what they have to say. There is about 20 people on this forum specifically that probably spend 3-4 hours a day at minimum just complaining about POE 2...Its really kind of sad but also fascinating at the same time.

POE 2 is a hodgepodge of all the horrible design decisions GGG has made over the years. Things that has made the community literally furious.

It's unbelievable how deaf GGG is.

Jonathan STILL believes if he just shoves crap into the campaign we're gonna magically have fun.... As if the campaign being long ISN'T the problem (It's the biggest problem the game faces aside from tower design and map RNG)

Fans of GGG went from paying for launch party food for GGG, to sending death threats. Literally.

GGG has taken all the worst bits of POE and amplified them, and now refer to the winning POE 1 formula as a mistake.


We were given a bare bones skeleton of a game, missing literally every aspect that made POE 1 a smash hit, and taking the opportunity to destroy every single system ever designed by GGG, for the sake of shoving more RNG into every single interaction we have with the game.


Mapping? RNG

Items? RNG

Crafting? RNG

Tower setup? RNG x RNG


How and why they decided shoving RNG into every aspect of the game was acceptable or even a good idea is beyond me. It makes zero sense whatsoever, and I'm shocked every single person at GGG doesn't see this immediately.

Poe2 is an abomination, so is the vision of whoever came up with it. Downgrade comparing to poe1 from back in 2012 in every single way. Even engine optimization is horrible, no wonder majority of people quit.

1/10 is all Poe2 gets from me GGG, and only because it has 'path of exile' in the name. I am staggered as to how creators of Poe1 could possibly make poe2, its so bad in comparison its actually impressive.

They don't make POE 1 anymore dude, are you all blind/naive?

They literally upon release of POE 2 said they quit POE 1 until there was horrible backlash.

What makes POE 1 playable is BRAND NEW CONTENT EVERY 4 MONTHS. There has not been content in over a year.

Without new content there is no reason to play POE 1.

So we are waiting for them to make POE 2 either better (it's very bad in current state) -- or more like POE 1, which is to us, a better game.


We, the fans, dgaf what GGG, the company, wants.


We are the customers. They work for our enjoyment.

You notice all the new players say "Woah, patch 0.2 performs worse than 0.1, what gives?"

Just like POE 1, every single league will get slightly worse on performance..

They are making the same exact problems from the spaghetti code, to the bad optimization, to the poor design choices that were fixed in POE 1 (splinters for example)

They literally undid every single thing they worked for -- and made everything they created markedly worse, intentionally... to make us play for more hours...

in POE 1 I had like 3-5 characters per league. In POE 2 I couldn't even bother playing 0.2 past act 3 (made the mistake of starting necro, and having to reroll in act 4... got the 2nd character to 40 ish and just... couldn't. Logged off, maybe 0.3 will not suck.

Simply, the game is not fun . If I can't kill stuff and get killed then the game is trash for me.

If this is their vision, I'm against it. I don't mind making bosses challenging, but when I see white, magic, rare mobs destroying me, then the vision that has been put in the game is blind.

POE hasn't had a league since last June. They relaunched a league that was already launched in 2 "events" which were haphazardly thrown together to try to convince us they cared and were going to keep their word. The people that play POE come back every league and enjoy the league start, often buy new MTX then get as far as they want in the league and usually wander off to other games. They always come back though as POE year over year growth shows. Furthermore, the track record for delivering a new league is not good. By now GGG would have already announces the new league and shown some of the content. They wont launch it in 2 weeks. They are probably internally talking about shutting it down because of low player count but the only reason it has low player count is because it has been neglected and its players lied to. However, given the new TenCent mindset I will be astonished if they launch another league on POE1.

So your post is incorrect information either accidentally or intentionally.

Indeed I agree. And dont listen to the parade of fanboys yelling "git gud" or "skill issue" they are just playing the meta skills that will be nerfed in the next patch and then they will quietly go away without even bothering to appologize to those they have maligned.

If they don't take all this feedback into account by 0.3 I'm honestly moving to another game!
