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

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

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.

Problem is monsters in poe2 blasts you like in poe 1

[–] Koen967 4 points 1 week 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.

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.
