There’s been a lot of discussion around POE 2’s direction — should it be slower and more methodical, or lean into a faster, more POE 1-style gameplay?

In a recent video, Talkative Tri argued that GGG’s biggest mistake was moving away from meaningful, engaging combat and making the game too fast.

In this video, I break down that argument, where I agree, and why I ultimately think slowing POE 2 down would be a mistake.

This isn’t about drama or “who’s right” — it’s about what actually makes sense for the ARPG genre and where POE 2 should go moving forward.

Liking the video helps get it in front of more people.
