I honestly think the KRAFTON buyout shook GGG so hard that they caved and just made the game into poe1, but with better graphics
Which is good because poo2 sucked ass
That being said, they really fuck around at "fixing" shit, don't they.
>evasion sucked, so here's a brand new thing nobody asked for
>armor sucked so we just added armor applied to ele damage on everything
>making ailments and curses somehow even more complicated
There's so many better changes it outweighs a lot of it, but the reason we are here is because they always think they have a "better" solution for something that isn't a fucking problem to begin with when it was in poe1
