    I loved PoE2 at beta launch so much. The visual clarity, the deliberate combat, the difficulty, the art direction. Every fight was a challenge and you couldn’t just zoom along.

    Poe2 launch is pretty much the opposite now. Explosions everywhere, more and more garish art direction and easier than PoE1. I know I am alone in this but I’m really sad they abandoned their original vision.

      You aren’t alone, i love both old PoE 2 and the new version. We will probably get that vision back at least little bit when they release Ruthless mode for PoE 2

        The people who championed ruthless (Chris and hrishi) unfortunately aren’t with the company anymore. To keep ruthless up to date is a lot of overhead. So I really doubt they will add it to PoE2.
