Path of exile 1 but substantially worst.

Poe2 has 2.5 good qualities, you can move while casting/attackin (really amazing qol), ability to pause and the automatic stop on disconnect, and a lower barrier to entry for new players, i give this only half point since the way poe1 currencies work is harder to pick up but way more interesting and flexible then poe2 gold.

WASD is hit or miss, i really dont see the point but some ppl might find it usefull, so im going to count it as a neutral.

Everything else is just a a sidegrade or a downgrade, its not bugs or balance issues, the game is just desinged that way.

Campaing is long, i see plenty if ppl prising it but imo it has low repliability, act 1 is fine but act 2 has plenty of unnecessary loading screens and the drop meccanic for the idols that grant the altar buff is stupid, i had a play trough where it didnt drop, same thing with the sacrifical hearth in act 3, if it drops quickly good, otherwise you have to fully clear the gigantic zone, 1 time it i died like a moron when i was almost done clearing and the zone fully resetted, not fun. overall campain is worst than poe1, ye its prettier, already dont care at chatacter 4.

Ascendency, the fact that ppl buy them instead if doing it themselves should tell enough, nobody does that in poe1.

Endgame, why? map layout are terrible, 2 are good, 2 are passable, the others range from bad to awfull. map bosses are cool, definitely an upgrade but too rare, the map clear condition (kill all rares) is terrible, meccanics (breach, delirium, ritual, expedition) are just poe1 meccanics ported over. The new atlas has potential but needs A LOT of wotk, and the current tablet system is just tedious, its really rewarding but really annoying to do.

Pinnacle bosses, Xesh and Arbiter are on par with poe1 pinnacle bosses, I like Sirus, Maven and Exarch more, I rate them on par with Shaper and Uber Elderl, but the expedition boss and Sakama trial boss are forgettable.

Crafting, doesnt exist, and the 1 attempt per base philosopy it operate under just make it tedious to interact with. I know its an attempt to make item drops relevant, but nothing changed, picking up magic and rare items make sense only in ssf or on fresh characters up to maybe t10 maps in trade.

Uniques, are either from poe1 or generally boring, ingenuity is strong (and rare belts are ♥♥♥♥) but having the equivalt of 3 to 4 ring isnt exactly new, basically adorn for rings.

Builds, im not a build creator, but the core concept of every build i look at looks awfully similar. passive skill three is pretty boring as well and, imo, there is an overemphasis on aliments.

Combat, i see no "meaningful combat". jokes asides, at least in poe1 you can move around, in poe2 you either delete the screen or the game is unplayably slow, even then, poe1 memed on 1 button builds have way more interaction.

Mobility, I think the current design around mobility needs to be completely delated and reworked, there is no way to meaningfully gain mobility beside sucking up 60 spirit and reserving blink, and there is no way of scaling blink beside Temporalis. At the low to mid end any build that doesnt have blink is going to be worst at farming than a build with blink, it doesnt mean that builds wothout blink are weak or unenjoiable, but they are worst at farming items and curremcy. at the high end Temporalis is the best in slot for every build and if you are not using it you are trolling, period, doesnt matter what you are playing, or that the chest itself is garbage, having infinite mobility is just infinitly more valuable than anything else you can possibly equip. I have it, its fun to use but it has no place in a game where some ppl have to use dogerolls and get stuck in random walls or rocks.

There is plenty of forced tedioum in the game but i have written enough.

in conclusion, poe2 its easier to get into then poe1, but its substantially worst. I dont buy the EA excuse, the game has been in development for 5 ot 6 years. I dont think it was worth the effort to make, and the resorces spent developing poe2 would have been better spent in improving poe1. I belive a poe1 4.0 expansion that featured reworked graphics, the ability to move while casting/attacking, the pause fearture and improved new player experience, could have been marketed to achive similar hype and generate similar interest but deliver a substantially better game.

PS, sorry for all the typos and grammar mistakes present, no way i got even a fraction of what was in there.

good game
