I believe this is worth discussing now...

I'm genuinely curious. Does this guy think any of these "elaborate" musings of his are taken seriously or it's just pure trolling. I can never decide.


No offense, but it just baffles the mind that anyone would actually think that such posts are even read by GGG DEVs.

I do, actually. I would also agree if you stated that copy paper is usually white or sea water being salt.

Holy shit that was funny. Thank you.

I assumed this was a troll post as soon as I got to the part where you said PoE1 combat was superior to PoE2 combat.

I love PoE1 and have played it for over a decade, but using the term "combat" in PoE1 is being pretty cavalier with the term.

PoE2 combat isn't even in the same universe as PoE1 combat - comparing the "combat" between the two feels like comparing the "gameplay" of Yahtzee vs Badminton. It's apples and oranges.

It's okay to prefer apples or oranges but it doesn't necessarily mean one is "superior" to the other.

OP is very serious and believes in what he writes. If you read his post history you'll form your own opinion.

My opinion is exactly like the first response - just say no

Perhaps, we see the "combat" in different ways, because I define combat as what can be done with the character and in what manner / style and that includes not only moving with it, but using all skills including for movement.

The slower the combat is the less one can do to separate from its competition and the speed / pace the entire content (theme park) can be engaged / experienced of the game. When I'm in a scenario where I have to reach from point A to B where I don't feel being challenged it feels like a time sink, especially without a new / unknown experience.

Sprinting was recently added to improve the engagement, but I don't find myself using more skills in PoE2 compared to PoE1 consistently in and out of combat and with the utility flasks on top being removed. PoE2 concept was compensating the lack of these things through using a combination of combat skills, but PoE1 already had that as well.
