XvGodemis: Nothing has dethroned Poe 1 to this very day for me. I’m glad we get to keep playing the game we love while watching the game grow.

Crustle1: Still get hyped for every league start in PoE 1, after all these years the excitement just never seems to fade!

Hoping I will feel the same way about PoE 2 one day, but not looking too likely.

Cryttanz: I still prefer PoE 1 over PoE 2 by a mile, the end game progression and balance in PoE 2 needs a major overhaul before I can enjoy that game.

CaliTEDD: Poe 1 deserves my PTO. Poe 2 is for when I have time.

3DPrintedChickenSoup: Tuna is the man, thanks for asking the good questions.

SawtoothGrin1986: I hope so playing Poe2 just makes me want to play 1 more because of their "combo" system. Also skills are locked behind weapon types WAY to severely

diablomix: PoE 1 will always have a core audience. 3.30 on Nov 13th feels like an internal test to see if the OG can still grow in the middle of massive releases and PoE 2 looming a shadow over it.

lollawrence9482: I’ve put more hours in to POE 1 than my two year old has been alive. I’ll play it until my golden years. What a masterpiece of a game.

AutoflowerTV: Poe 2 is a great game but it just doesn't hit the same spot poe 1 does.

RJ36UK: Am glad they are bringing more in to POE1 as I have tried many times since POE2 release to get in to it but I just find it way to boring, the current release ended up taking me 3 weeks just to finish the campaign. End Game, I completed about 40 maps and that was it, back to POE1.

claus4461: PoE1 is still my favorite PoE. Really looking forward to a real shakeup and new mechanics. What I feel has been completely forgotten for many years is delve, I don't think I've been compelled to step into the mine in three years or so, can't even remember. I kinda hope they give it some love, would be really cool if they made it an idependent endgame option since it's already got a good foundation for a endless atlas type system similar to that in PoE2. Just needs it's own progression system that doesn't require you to also do maps and some unique character that sets it apart from mapping.

Maybe split the league mechanics in half and make a few things Delve exclusive?

barfbot: poe1 is the best arpg on the market

JBX5677JB: I am excited that we are getting another endgame expansion in POE 1.

I have tried to play and like POE 2, but the game is like a solid 6.25/10 even after its best patch. Awful crafting, awful endgame progression, awful balancing. It needs so much work. I think it will get there in like two years. Keeping POE 1 active and alive will keep me in the ecosystem until POE 2 gets better.

2025ParadigmShift: I want to play POE 1 I dont even care about POE 2

nethstar: Tbh, let's wait and see. So many promises that didn't come about due to whatever reasons and the placement of poe1's next patch being right before poe2 release feels strange.

Who knows how much of what they promised will be added or shifted to 'we wanted to but couldn't. It'll be there next patch'.

utmastuh: Dreamcore knows something we don't know. 3.30 about to go off the hook! Login!

114418514: 11:50 WASD has already been in PoE1 a few years ago, it's just locked behind using a controller.

greyfenix7123: Delirium and the leagues right before it to me was the golden age. Synth, meta, legion, deli.. amazing

FreezeR96PL: You might be right, but they've already run a league once before when WoW Classic launched, and the player count really took a hit. Now the league is starting between WoW Forever and GTA 6. I'll keep playing in the league, but I'll notice there are fewer players.

Gorrash: I'll believe when i see it, their game now is poe2 guys, just accept it already

uncledeath2246: I like both games and I have some issues with both, but I feel like to me the progression is much better in poe2. In poe1 if I dont play a solved build for the skill I want to play (like how so many attacks are tri-ele Taming Yoke style ele builds, or how most if not all slams are warcry builds, or how so many builds get to a point where you go "If I want to improve anything I have to rework half the build into something else" etc.) it feels very bad to play and feel like im doing well. In poe2 there are some issues how spells are insanely reliant on levels versus attacks but at least there it feels like I can pick something up and just keep progressing gear to let me do whatever setup I want. In poe1 it feels like if I dont have the correct combination of scaling vectors and solutions (like playing block vs no block is such an insane difference in tankyness) there's nothing I can do unless I spend mirrors on the build but the correct way to scale the skill/build does it in at most several dozen divs.

I dont want the game to be easy but I want the game to be streamlined more, not just throw us more random build pieces (have you seen how lategame skill trees end up with unique jewels and clusters and timelesses and so on??) to find a build between I want to pick a theme and be able to clear all the content with it. I also think the game needs a general scale down because holy hell we are past the days where 2mil dps beats the whole game for you.

IK-ul5su: As much as I love POE wholeheartedly, GGG's promise age like milk on both POE 1 and 2, like the balance patch postpone from 0.55 to 1.0. POE2 1.0 even want to launch on Dec, right before holiday, perfect recipe for a month long disaster of unfix bug. Good for them and hope for the best.

Soulhunter1767: poe1 with the graphical quality of poe2 (and only that) would be the greatest arpg ever made

Orange-StarKnight: Really looking forward to the reveals for POE1&2 that we know will happen at exile con in a couple weeks. The hype is real!

nimataheri3625: vision as bright as homeboys forhead

softcoreplebgaming9674: The reason why the poe 1 team will grow it's because it got smaller with poe 2 lol. They said they borrowed people from 1 to work on 2. So now they are just returning. Duhh

DM-gs2vo: The reason why poe 1 cosmetics must work in poe 2 isnt because poe 2 will replace poe 1, it's because at that moment they all work it will also mean that hardest part (the characters) porting to new rigs and engine will have been resolved. Resulting in probably poe 1 slowly being updated to a newer engine that poe 2 is on.
