Is anybody going to play Path of Exile 2?

I played the first one but there was a bit too much depth for me like the amount of different items and stuff that there was and I didn't know what I'd actually need in the future and what I wouldn't. But they said it's a bit simpler in this game they've reduced the amount of stuff you need to learn by more than half. And it's a free game so I'll check it out when it comes out. The amount of effort they put into it is undeniable so that's why I wanna give it a try. If I see quality like that I'm gonna give it a chance even if I'm not sure how much I'll like it long term.

Doubt it, but might get talked into trying it out. I wasn't a fan of the first one, way to gloomy for my taste and the talent tree was 🤯 - I'm gaming to semi shut my brain off, not to be using it.

I understand. They're trying to make it more accessible this time :) I'm giving it a try I don't know if I'll stick with the game but we'll see. In general I feel like all games that have a grind aspect to them lose me after some time, but I still give them a try if they're good enough. Even if I only get like 30 hours in as long as I had a good time it's worth it :)

I'll play it if you can still race in it. I only play PoE to tryhard tbh

Early access starts on December 6th but you have to pay for that unless you already spent a bunch of money in the first game.

[AI Opinion]

Path of Exile 2 sounds intriguing, especially with the simplification they've promised. Many players appreciate the depth and customization, but a more streamlined experience might attract new fans. 🎮 It's great that it's free, making it easier to dive in without commitment. The effort they put into the game's quality is indeed impressive, so it’s worth checking out. If you liked the first but found it daunting, this might be a better fit for you. Enjoy exploring its dark, rich world! 😊
