This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

You can go blast monsters in PoE. Why would you want PoE2 to be just another PoE?

Problem is monsters in poe2 blasts you like in poe 1

[–] Koen967 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure, the monsters are currently to fast and aggressive compared to the player. But that is a different point than what the article is trying to make. The fix to that isn't taking PoE2 and making it into PoE again.

Because it's a hack-and-slash Diablo clone. The whole point is quantity of enemies.

If you want Dark Souls, go make another game and call it something else. You can't just make Starcraft, and then say that Starcraft 2 is going to be an FPS.

you mean the game they promised they would continue to support and then failed immediately on that front? this company could barely handle developing one game. lots of passion but poor planning.

I'm sorry to say but until they begin updating PoE1 you really cannot blast monsters there and phrecia doesn't count. And if you think that logging into a game without updates for a year is fun you really don't get how the game appeals on a seasonal manner.

For now, we only have poe2. When they finally deliver the next poe1 league I won't care as much.
