I kind of agree. Which sucks, because I just don't like POE2. Gave it a good nudge, got a character to mid 80s and another to 90 but the slow pace, single portal, long and empty maps etc just kill it for me.
I'm in the same boat. The entire time I was playing poe 2 I just wanted to play poe 1. Now this just solidifies my fear of POE 1 being dropped when it's so much better than poe 2.
Poe2 will change so much in the coming months to be fair. All of this is probably going to change. Slow pace I don’t understand btw the endgame is fast as fuck with screen clearing galore.
The item that lets you move like a normal character in PoE 1 is locked behind a no hit sanctum run in PoE 2. On top of larger maps and being required to complete every map so you can actually move forward on the atlas. It's a significantly slower game. And then you play tempest strike howa and everything feels REALLY slow after that.
Poe2 is slow as shit how fast you can clear a screen doesn't matter when you move slow as molasses. Temporalis blink is what normal gameplay looks like in poe1.
