​@staskozak8118 I think people are using the wrong word here. It isn't easier, it's more intuitive. In poe 1 the info is easy to understand, but you have to find it and that is a mess. What it looks like so far is that the info is presented to you far better, and you can learn the systems better because the info is more accessible. My 2 cents which are worth nothing.

[@tobiasfischer1879]

I am someone who hates WASD + keybinds since I get my fingers all twisted. When I first tried out WoW it was rough, and, like you, the MMO mouse did not feel right to me. I ended up buying a Razer Tartarus gaming keypad, which is essentially a half keyboard for your left hand but has a joystick for your thumb. This felt incredible to use and it what I plan on playing PoE 2 with. Definitely recommend checking it out for anyone who gets their fingers twisted trying to hit keybinds with WASD like me.

[@roccoheat8662]

Razer Tartarus is great. Lately I recommend the Azeron Cyborg as the truely better device. True analog stick, with better keys and quality. I've bought and broken 3 different Razer Tartarus in the same amount of time I've had my cyborg now without issue. Really excited to play poe2 with it.

[@rellikx7519]

Pretty new to PoE played up to level 4 back when it came out. Just started playing it again along with Diablo IV to find a good ARPG for me and my friends, loving both of them but really excited for PoE 2 providing more simplicity, better graphics, better sound design, cross-play support and wasd movement.

I hope they show us higher level gameplay/maps at some point. The campaign/leveling part can be the best ever, the only thing that can keep me playing for more than 10k hours like PoE 1 did is the endgame.

Can you give any comment about melee damage capabilities comapred to spells/ranged?

[@vimzim8576]

I don't like that support gems are unique but will wait and see how they handle it. Something like added lightning damage was important in lightning damage builds where you used more than one ability. PoE1 generally had very limited supports for whatever you were doing that actually was impactful, be it damage over time, ranged attack, melee, etc... we generally went to the same cookie cutter supporters largely because the others were mostly garbage. I don't think the answer is making them unique, the answer is to have a lot of good choices rather than just a few. I think the generic weakness of PoE1 support gems is they for the most part are mostly just number padding, so the biggest number was the best, you just plugged it in PoB and whicheve rnumber was bigger was your best support gem. I think they could have got around this by having more secondary benefits to support gems that weren't numerically the best for damage, like adding a projectile or proccing some other effect. If the design is overly simple (and supports were) then it just devolves to min/maxing.
