I've been watching videos reviewing it so far and it's about what I expected. I just learned that they removed the alteration orb. Lol. What? It's just shit like that which is completely dumb. They want you to craft with less deterministic methods, so they take away the orb that lets you roll magic items... huh? So now you get to do the exact same thing in a more deliberately annoying fashion by collecting white items over and over to use transmutes and augments. It's just not fun. Let me skip the part of collecting infinite white bases and just roll one of them. It's even worse that white bases have different percentiles, unless that changed in PoE2. So if you changed your filter to not show white bases unless it was one of the two or three very best bases and then on top of that only show it if it was above 90% or 95%, it would be a good while before another one showed up on your screen.

PoE1 is goated, imo. There is nothing more satisfying than juicing the shit out of a map with mobs ontop of mobs ontop of mobs and having the whole entire screen of 100+ mobs go boom in one massive explosion and doing it at break neck speed. I'll get to PoE2 when it's time. Hopefully shit changes in the next 10 or so months and I appreciate the people who forked over money to beta test it for me. If not, PoE1 is still going to be supported so I'm good with that too.
I wish the graphics in POE1 were great, I would absolutely be playing that. I'm at the point in gaming where if it doesn't have top notch graphics I struggle to play/enjoy it.

POE2 you can hardly find crafting mats for upgrades. I used what I had and rolled complete garbage so it's RNG and you hardly ever get upgrades. Just feels like the same spell effects no matter what you do and that's not exciting at all as it feels like your items have no effect whatsoever other than resistances.

I would be interested to hear what others feedback is so far playing.
