Many players had high hopes for Path of Exile 2, but for many, those hopes have been shattered.

I love the hyperbole on this forum.... SHATTERED!!!

All our hopes and dreams :( SHATTERED!!

But not me because I am using EARTHSHATTER, I AM THE SHATTERER !!

The game was super hyped, EA came out at a time where people are starving for food and we all rode the bus and had a boatload of fun.

But yeah, POE will be POE. For good and for worse. There's a good chance a big chunk of people gave it a shot and found out the game is still far from accessible.

POE is basically for nerds who like to figure out why going from 75 to 76% Lightning Resistance makes a substantial difference to survivability, while adding 4000 armor doesn't.

And just like the UBRUNTRU nerds, they go in unison "AH BUT YOU SEE!! HERE IS THE MATH!!! LET ME EXPLAIN!! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOESNt UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLAYZ MY GAME!!"

So all those poor fellahs basically closed the game and went back to chill out in Diablo.

Others may be waiting for Titan Quest II early access.

You also have a big chunk of Diablo fans, who dropped Diablo II Resurrected for a while, full of hope and wonder, only to go back to D2R because POE is POE... in other words POE is not a "diablo like" game.

But who are we kidding, I'm a run some more meps.

You make a good point. The two cannot be compared. However as a new player to POE, I get a general feeling that the legacy player base is just fine with the possibility that POE 2 attracts no new players if it means giving up this ethereal exclusivity that is some sacred game rule of the past.

Even if it means making the game better, I read time after time that folks would rather die on the cross of POE 1, than create a game that would attract a larger audience.

No it won't.

Most players that left, left forever and it's not hard to see that the ones behind the helm don't wan't to change a dime of their ''vision''.

New players won't return, bots will.

Thier "vision" is Blind. And its ruining the game.

Its a vision of what the game could be, or might be in the future, but the game were playing right now, the game they have sold us, is not.

Even if they prommise to make good on thier blind vision later, its not there yet. But its not then, its now, and now its not good.

Were already playing now. or played. and the game just isnt there now.
