Is it worth buying poe2? It looks fun.

Never

I have played PoE1 to death but am putting off poe2 until it reaches maturity. From what I have gathered from the non hyperbole, non contrarian /v/aggots neutral feedback, it feels great for early game progression up until the end of normal. But falls off in endgame due to being undercooked and full of placeholder systems

>tl/dr
if you have the patience, wait until 1.0 release. Poe 1 is right there and filled with content flowing out its asshole

>>717498061 (OP)
Why would you buy a free game?

>>717498061 (OP)
ask again in 3 weeks

>>717498061 (OP)
You will be paying to test the game
So far both updates have been mid so its up too you

>>717498061 (OP)
It's alright if you are going for main story though act 3 was meh.
It's worthless if you want end game.

do people really enjoy constant seasonal wipes?
I would've gotten burned out on my 3rd league and I heard poe1 had 75 leagues

You are not a streamer.

play standard

>>717498061 (OP)
yeah its pretty fun anon dont listen to other retards in this thread, i got like 50 hours out of it or something just know that endgame is pretty dead but worth the price tag. I played mercenary was fun

>>717498061 (OP)
If you think it looks fun then get it, you seen videos of the game play and you most likely get more than 30+ hours of enjoyment out of it.

but why though that's like playing unranked in fighting games

>>717498910
about half of them do, half of them dont. reflected in poe1 stats where leagues, after mellowing out from the initial rush of players checking out the mechanics, had about half of the active player base. while perma standard hogged the rest. Sometimes if the league was bad standard was even the dominant one with league dying out

hardcore were always a rounding error. both in leagues and in the perma hc. with the player base being so small that often then not the stable, active players know more or less all of each other. Like living in a tiny village. Same goes for other niches like ruthless mode and SSF in its various forms

>>717498910
I don't see a problem with that. Diablo 1 and 2 were literally about constantly replaying the game over and over again

>>717498910
Yes, they're fun when new powerful mechanics are added to the game for the player to tinker with. Diablo 2 type of ladder resets I personally find very boring. There has to be a bigger hook to get people back every 4 months. Anyway, it doesn't even take that long to "max out" a character in Path of Exile so the idea that one would play one character like in a MMORPG game is not very realistic. At some point upgrades become too hard to obtain.

>>717498910
What wipes?
League characters and the stash get moved over to standard after the league ends, you don't lose anything except the latest gimmick mechanic if they decide not to make it standard.
