Do you play both still?

I was just curious as to how many players jump between PoE 1 and PoE 2 and how many like myself haven't played PoE 1 since PoE 2 went into Early Access.

I just find 2 superior and more enjoyable. I do NOT miss the bartering system in PoE 1 at all (selling 3 flasks to get an upgraded version or selling an inventory full of rings to get... another ring, etc.)

Was there an active evade in PoE 1? I honestly cannot remember. However I am perfectly happy putting all of my time and energy into PoE 2 and do not miss it's predecessor in the slightest. Who's with me? I would love to hear your reasons "why" and "why not".

I started with 2, and I have over 1k hours… I love it.

Every time I’ve tried to play 1, it feels clunky and confusing.

Still planning on giving this league a shot though!

i play both, because why not? I definitely don't go as hard in poe 1 as i used to though. Usually play the weekend and a few more days after that.

I only play poe2 becaouse for me poe1 become too much of an arcane fast explosions, dash, skill, dash skill. Even playing with minions was just dashing arround map and ocasionally casting something plus i cant even look at 5 flasks anymore. I am looking with jealousy at poe1 and their massive ammount of great content. I love both and have great respect for them.

I still mostly play PoE1 over 2, although 2 is starting to look really good and if this new PoE1 endgame is a preview of how 2s endgame is going to look in the future i will most definitely be investing more time into it in the future.

Both, but still more of a PoE1 player.

I went back to poe 1 after 6 years. Was definitely a whole new experience. I like poe 2 more. Poe 1 questing and leveling feels better. Poe 1 had so many prior league stuff that I found bloated. I really like how diverse builds are and uniques actually good in poe 1.

I did not play Poe 1 much, I did the campaign once and I was not very interested in the endgame. Poe 2 grabbed me real bad, the game looks beautiful, the skills, graphics, wasd, wasd+mercenary, rolling, simplified skill system (I couldn't stand the coloured sockets in one).

I got new SSD right before PoE2 release and never bothered to re-install PoE1. It never even crossed my mind. PoE2 gives me everything I need in terms of ARPG. And when I'm bored with it I play something else. Or nothing at all. One thing I know for sure is that I don't wanna play more PoE when I'm already sick of PoE, even if it's different PoE.
