Yes, Poe1 is old & outdated. I've played it hundreds of times. The fact that I can't dodge roll is pretty much a selling point for me by itself.
Better & smoother graphics, harder boss fights with a more in-depth & intricate mapping system designed for people to PLAN their routes and not just go in guns blazing.
POE1 was severely unbalanced and melee characters were nearly unplayable.
It seems to be a difficult thing to balance in these games, however, POE2 seems to be doing a decent job. For an EA game, it's in fine shape & will be a masterpiece on launch.
The thing with POE1 versus POE2, it's the same as OSRS & RS3. There will always be a cult following, despite which game is clearly better.
Oh & I forgot to mention WASD movement. Fucking game changer. Makes the game so much more immersive.
all of this ^ plus currency exchange in game? im never going back to messaging people to try and swap chaos for whatever.
