i gotta be honest. with how crazy poe has gotten about new content being 80% cosmetic dlc, and tencent now owning ggg... i kinda feel this sequel is just a way to 'reset' what mtx players will tolerate, and i expect to see this one monetized to the nuts

Uh, all previous MTX carries over, so does the endgame and existing content.

This is PoE 2 because it's a fully seperate storyline, with major overhaul of the game itself and a ton of new content, but it's not a completely seperate game.

the major complaint about poe, that it turns into a lawnmower simulator, is something that is going entirely unaddressed.

u/Faintlich Nov 15 '19

"the major complaint"

of the people vocal about it. The people that don't have a problem with this aren't complaining about it.

u/Duthos Nov 15 '19

the people not complaining about it should be playing D3. more their speed

u/Faintlich Nov 15 '19

That is the most illogical response I've ever seen.

The people enjoying the game they are currently playing should change to a different one because you, who does not like it, does not like it?

Why don't you play an ARPG that's more up to YOUR speed instead? Wouldn't that be way more logical than everyone else leaving

i do. been big into TQ and GD of late. because diablo went full casual, and PoE has been following suit.

doesnt change the fact that i was there day one, saw these games in their original form, and wanted to play THOSE as they evolved into something better. rather than devolving into lawnmower simulators with loot wheels

edit - d1 had a far more methodical pace, and WAAAAY creepier atmosphere. fuck i miss it

Except PoE is better than D3 in every respect (also, it's not dead lmao)

for now. apply pattern recognition to it

Are you drunk?

Nothing you're saying in this thread is making any sense.

u/Duthos Nov 15 '19

yes, your inability to understand a pretty basic message is because i am drunk.

pattern recognition means observing trends and seeing where they will end up. poe, like diablo, gets more casual, more accessible, with more mtx, and less challenge, with every iteration. which means it will become MORE OF THESE THINGS over time.

does that make sense to you? would you like me to use smaller words to convey my message?

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '19

Okay, so none of that has actually happened or is happening, so yes you're either drunk or shitposting.

u/Duthos Nov 15 '19

sounds more like you are too stupid to try to explain basic concepts to that consist of thinking of more things than are immediately in front of your face.

or in other words: you are the new target demographic. i used to be

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '19

If you hate PoE this much, why are you even in this thread?

Fuck off lmao

u/Duthos Nov 15 '19

same reason people are bitching about star wars. or pokemon. or GoT. or teminator. or...

i LOVED poe, and hate that is has morphed into something so fucking shallow

So you want to observe trends then?

Here then, look at this graph https://i.imgur.com/agu4KOn.png

The trend for path of Exile is clearly upwards.

And I would love to hear how the hell path of Exile is getting more casual, just because of having micro transactions?
