The gameplay looks incredibly slow and very similar to current ruthless league. I say this after watching Mathil play through a bit last night

    The slow gameplay is an issue for me too. Chris has been trying to slow the gameplay down for a while now (probably in preparation for this), and it's only pissing people off more and more.

    There also needs to be a better approach to crafting in PoE2. Learning the ins and outs of crafting in PoE is fucking daunting. I'm an adult with responsibilities. Nobody has time for learning that, or time for grinding that much currency...

    Ive got thousands of hours in POE1 but stopped playing a couple years ago because it started to feel like a cluttered mess. There were so many league mechanics vying for your attention and interrupting the flow of the game it just became tiresome. I hope POE2 feels more cohesive without all the fluff of 50 different leagues. The trailers definitely got me jonesing to play again though.

    I always wanted to get into the original game, but the excessive monetization ruined the experience for me.

    Hopefully they tone it down a bit for this release. I don’t want to walk into the first safe area only to be bombarded with microtransactions like I’m browsing the internet without an adblocker.

    It won't be toned down, because they're sharing purchases between PoE1 and PoE2 so people don't lose their purchases.

    All of that MTX people wear will exist on Day 1 of PoE2.

    Lately they've also been rewarding full armor sets for league challenges too which is nice. There has been 3 full sets in the last 4 leagues.
