    I love poe, but the one thing that I don’t like is you absolutely need a build guide or else you’ll hit a wall and you’ll have to respec the skill tree.

    I really don’t like playing somebody else’s build. It feels like you’re playing somebody else’s character.

    I hope in poe2 the game respects my choices.

      That wish is nice but I doubt it.

      The Poe devs see the build complexity as the reason people keep coming back, to try out new builds.

      This game will be more of the same, but bigger and more modern. Which for casual players like you and me, will be fun for a season or 2.

        I’m ok with complexity but for the love of God let me respec in a reasonable way. Farming orbs to reset a single point at a time is nonsense.

    My friend finally convinced me to try PoE. I generally like it, but it seems… Unpolished? I dunno. Kinda stuttery. Too much going on. It’s like they’ve just accepted and (mostly) implemented every single feature request they ever got without necessarily thinking about how it should work with all the other stuff. Not really a fan of the item/jewel/currency system or the skill tree. Like, I just want to play the game and kill monsters and make things go boom, this is too much work and planning.

    I do love the carnage, though… When my level 5 or 6 fighter guy swung a regular white text sword for a regular non skill attack and it took out like 5 zombies at once, that was really nice. Never did that in Diablo.

    That’s my highly unscientific opinion after playing for about a week. Sounds like 2 is going to clean up and address some of my complaints, so I’m looking forward to it.

    This is hardly news. Path of Exile has server queues at the start of every major launch. I think it’ll be great news if absolutely nothing goes wrong with the launch.
