the changes they made in a single league in the upcoming 0.3 league is nothing compared to LE single cycle changes LE will really be dead already just 1 week after its cycle release idk why EHG doesnt like money they could extended it for another week
Well, GGGames have been around 10+ years. So theyâve had alot of practice conjuring up cool ideas and mechanics. I played Path 01 back when it was in the alpha stage and well ⌠there wasnât alot there either. I still remember when they added mechanics like the guarded chests. That was a great, and still is, addition.
I watched GGGâs broadcast today. Loved how theyâve expanded the skill tree, the sprint added to the dodge mechanics, and now the ability to socket the same support gem more than once.
Iâm looking forward to tomorrow so bad. I canât wait to start anew with LEâs new season. Along with PoE 2âs 29th August release.

Eh, extremely weak bait. They added sprinting, but you literally - and I mean literally - trip and get killed if an enemy hits you. Why? Because 60% of the playerbase was playing Lightning Spear Rhoa last league. Because itâs movement speed + screen clear.
So they begrudgingly accept that people want more MS, but implement it in the worst way possible. Same with the Auction House - after like a decade of players begging they put it in, but you still need to actually teleport to the person and buy it out, meaning you will have endless cases of being too late, just like you have it right now.
Jonathan canât add a single thing without attaching 17 âOkay, butâ things to it. We literally had leaks from devs talking about what an annoying, obnoxious, self-centered⌠individual Jonathan is and how they lied about keeping up the PoE1 dev cycle on purpose, because Jonathan saw PoE2 as his, so he pulled resources from PoE1.
Sorry, but yeah, the changes arenât bad, but itâs still a sluggish, annoying to interact with game that is forcing you to use multiple skills, even if the player doesnât want to. Like, cmon, where the f is Righteous Fire even? Ah, yes, not there, because Jonathan wants you to press 20 buttons to deal damage and build combos and the average player just wants the screen to explode.

I plan to play both. Will see what happens. We have been hyped and then let down by PoE from time to time. And it is interesting that they do obvious mistakes as they admitted today on stream (admitted a mistake which was obvious if you think about it).
ya get what ya pay for, thatâs how the world works. Itâs more like the last 3 D4 seasons and 2 LE ones combined, hehe. It doesnt mean LE has a bad season, itâs just more focused. PoE 2 is in full production mode with a giga-huge work force working 24/7 trying to go retail

as a consumer of course we can view 2 companies and point out when one has an obvious advantage.
regardless of background. if a 30 year old coffee franchise can give a very rich taste compared to a local brewery that my friend just recently opened. i wont give my friend a free pass and say âwell he just startedâ.
thats how competition works.
but that said, competing against GGG is a fools errand. LEâs systems have diverged enough from POE that there are many things i prefer in LE over POE. it is adjacent to POE but not a direct competitor.
i would say this is true in all modern d-likes
d4= highly polished game that is good for gamer dads/filthy casuals
poe = highly polished game for sweaters and zoomers
le = budding game with MANY interesting ideas that differentiates it from the rest, respects players time for the most part (except for end game farming where it feels impossible to get upgrades)
tli = copies what makes poe1+2 great but has a much more lenient crafting system where players can actually craft their gear. and has a âfeatureâ where you get pet buffs (which is heavily p2w)
undecember = very interesting boss fights where you need to learn the boss attacks. i would say the base level boss fights are one of the most interesting among most d-likes, where you really need to avoid certain attacks and learn the boss patterns. tho heavily p2w
each has something that another does not have.
despite LE being owned by a new company i hope for the best. LE still has one of the most interesting takes on the genre. tho i find myself enjoying TQ1/2 more nowadays. still very likely to return to LE to test out my lich.

yea need to desync updates with Poeâs, LE should be able to compete now that they got that huge influx of cash from krafton,
No swordsâŚcanât take POE seriously
Absolutely. Releasing a month or so after a POE1 league would be ideal.
Le me know when POE2 is free. I wonât pay for a free game. lol
That would be the huge wodge of cash that went to the previous owners not the companyâŚ
But yes, it would be good to have a bit more of a gap, assuming GGG let them have that gap.
i heard theyre giving a free weekend for people to try.
other than that maybe give it a year or 2 then it will be free on release.
eh extremely weak bait i understand people like to cope when they dont want accept something and no PoE 2 isnt sluggish anymore they fixed basically everything that needed to be fixed you are just coping at this point and in LE you are also forced to use multiple skills per build but there are obviously some builds with 1 or 2 button presses too just like there are in PoE 2 i played only those builds in PoE 2 they are still there
where did you hear that? its not like GGG to give freebiesâŚ
Apart from PoE1. PoE2 is currently following the same track as #1 in terms of access, supporter packs & the like.
news just broke today with their announcement/breakdown of their new expansions.
its just a free weekend tho so, its not like its totally free.
then again youâre discrediting GGG too much.
GGG is much more generous now compared to how they started out. back in the day we didnât have such things as a proper challenge reward. at most it was a recolour of a seraph armor set.
but now we have full fledged armor sets that has secondary effects that can put older supporter pack mtx to shame. also we sometimes get free lootboxes or free lootboxes on purchase. we also get twitch drops, as well as mtx rewards from easy to achieve challenges.

to be fair we didnt even get a free box at the end of the year when in previous years we always got oneâŚbut anyway i was just curious where you heard that because i didnt see anyone talk about it on the poe forums.
Are you talking about the season pass? 'Cause you have to pay for that so it should be higher quality than just a recolour. Plus theyâre more experienced at mtx now so Iâd expect the quality of the mtx to have improved over the years.
I think he was talking about cosmetic rewards for 36/40 challenges.

âpoe is deadâ after all lol
well, a large number of the forummers there seem to hate poe2, and people who like poe2 would already have bought the pass so that announcement is meaningless to them.
yeap. there are other challenges as well such as races.
and if weâre going there, sometimes GGG has sponsors that reward the top players with actual gaming rigs/laptops.
