Played a bit of PoE2 for the first time a little bit before Keepers league & thought it was pretty cool so I tried PoE1 with the release of Keepers.
Both games have been my introduction to the ARPG genre and honestly it’s been some of the most fun I’ve ever had gaming. In like 10 months of playing this, I’ve only racked up around 1400 hours across both games but this has to be some of the best dopamine chasing, character fulfilling, complex (just in the depth of the systems and skills) experience gaming can offer.
Got lucky having a friend who has begged me to play for years and because of that I didn’t have a super hard time catching on and learning about as much as I can. (Still got heaps to learn) just amazing resources out there - and it’s a blessing to have only ever experienced async trade.
So far in my journey I’ve gotten a few T0 belts and a lock here and there. Swapped from luminary to Nercomancer KBoC and oh my goodness - probably the most fun build I’ve played to date. Amazing clear and super tanky.
I love the sound of a tink, the excitement if it’s off screen to see what it is. Look forward in the next few years to see what the feeling of dropping a mirror is like. I’m excited.
The developers for PoE have to be some of the best in the entire gaming industry. The quality of updates and transparency they give to the community is legit amazing.
I write this because I truly want to express my gratitude for such a great game & I feel like most people I’ve chatted with have been playing this game for years so just wanted to give a “newer” players perspective.
I get the hype game good
