It's a good thing PoE1 will still be running, sounds like that game is more your speed

Nah PoE1 has crippling QoL issues, Last Epoch is currently my favourite hack & slash

I thought LE had a similar pacing to what little I've played of PoE2 so far, but it's been a while

I think it lies somewhere between PoE1 and PoE2 in pacing, though that strongly depend on build. I played few that was basically PoE1 cathegory "delete 2 screen worth of mobs at once" and one "basically facetank all but one or two bosses but it take ages" tanky. Though imo strongest part of LE which i already see PoE2 failed incredibly hard is game difficulty scaling. LE can be as hard as you want or are able to go, PoE2 makes you shit bricks in act one of story.

I wish this was true. POE 1 is my favorite game ever. GGG was supposed to release the next POE 1 expansion this month but they delayed it until March. In the past, POE 1 expansions lasted for 3 months. By the time the current POE 1 expansion ends, it will have run for 7 months. We lost an entire POE 1 expansion because of this POE 2 release and it's likely GGG will cut POE 1 development even more.
