591+ Hours Played in POE2, and sadly I won't be coming back for updates until performance improves

Well, D4 IS Bad. And also Activision Blizzard are like, one of the most horrendous companies to give money to.

That said, yeah. I don't really understand why PoE2 needs to be a graphic demand leap over PoE. I see PoE footage and it looks so readable and clean, which it has to be because there's moments where there's tons of monsters and effects on screen. Meanwhile my biggest problem with PoE2 is how performance can really vary depending on the tile set. As an example. Trial of Sekhemas runs great, Trial of Chaos is a huge slog. And if a tileset change can have so much impact on performance it really tells me that the performance is being wasted on stuff that's not really important. That said, this is an Early Access game, yadda yadda. Let's hope it gets better.
