The gameplay looks incredibly slow and very similar to current ruthless league. I say this after watching Mathil play through a bit last night
This is the intent, and that’s a good thing.
The slow gameplay is an issue for me too. Chris has been trying to slow the gameplay down for a while now (probably in preparation for this), and it’s only pissing people off more and more.
There also needs to be a better approach to crafting in PoE2. Learning the ins and outs of crafting in PoE is fucking daunting. I’m an adult with responsibilities. Nobody has time for learning that, or time for grinding that much currency…
Ive got thousands of hours in POE1 but stopped playing a couple years ago because it started to feel like a cluttered mess. There were so many league mechanics vying for your attention and interrupting the flow of the game it just became tiresome. I hope POE2 feels more cohesive without all the fluff of 50 different leagues. The trailers definitely got me jonesing to play again though.
Hey, so 1 year ago they actually released a solution to this exact issue.
In Siege of the Atlas they added an Atlas passive tree which allows you to block content in the endgame, to make it a more focused experience with the systems you want to work with.
For every system you block, it increases the chance of the other systems showing up instead. Additionally, some of the legacy content in the game has been reworked to feel more consistent with modern quality standards.
We’re not at Path of Exile 2 levels of refinement, but Path of Exile 1 is in a great state at the moment.
I always wanted to get into the original game, but the excessive monetization ruined the experience for me.
Hopefully they tone it down a bit for this release. I don’t want to walk into the first safe area only to be bombarded with microtransactions like I’m browsing the internet without an adblocker.
It won’t be toned down, because they’re sharing purchases between PoE1 and PoE2 so people don’t lose their purchases.
All of that MTX people wear will exist on Day 1 of PoE2.
Lately they’ve also been rewarding full armor sets for league challenges too which is nice. There has been 3 full sets in the last 4 leagues.
You’re probably right.
Well they lost me as a customer out the gate.
I found it reasonable, aside from the stash space prices. I spent a lot of time on it and only dropped 5-10.
Excessive monetization to me is genshin impact
