      I’ve always been concerned about the time sink I see that is needed to succeed in PoE. Is that also needed for the sequel?

      I saw the skill tree for PoE 1 and shit myself

      Plus the whole F2P and “the auction house is the end game” that I hear has me a little leery

      I just want to play a dungeon crawler game and not interact with anything else period. No social, no multiplayer, no dailies nothing. I loathe free to play actually quite a lot because it’s manipulative as hell and tries to get you in is daily ecosystem

      Can I still enjoy PoE 2 even being an absolutely filthy casual?

        Honestly I just play poe2 casually on my deck and I just play how I want. “Succeed” in poe2 wasn’t something I ever set out to do…I have a job and family etc etc

            Yeah you can play poe2 as a filthy casual. Expect to get stuck though at certain boss fights and having to redo your build. I just ask claude lol

    What’s the point? Does blizzard have fans nowadays? Just get a copy of the second one if you’re into it, and be happy that you’re not playing a piece of shit. Aaa gaming is done, go indie, or classic is how I see if

      They are trying to wait 20 years for the next Starcraft!?

      Geesh, these companies aren’t even trying anymore. I thought the gap for GTA 6 was bad.

        Amd apparently this StarCraft they just announced isn’t even an RTS. It’s an open world shooter. 😆

      I just realised the only time I gave them money was over 20 years ago, tried WoW for a bit but didn’t really like it. Haven’t had any interest in any of their other games other than Diablo and I’ve only played pirated versions of 1 and 2.
