Okay lets be rational. If everyone knows that poe2 is going to be hard. Then why Krip, Mathil, DM, Ghazzy & almost every content creator is saying this game is much harder then they expected. Oh, maybe they were not following the interviews & podcasts. And when they went to LA to play test the game, they were probably twiddling their thumb didn't they.

I want softcore experience. If there are sooooo many people enjoying the hard mode game. Then fine. Let GGG make ruthless mode and put the current game in ruthless. Where all of you will be playing. We very small number of people. Like I don't know maybe the way you are talking we are probably 10-20 people that are "crying" give us the version where we have easier game, 6 portal, easier Ascendency options. We are more than happy to be at a disadvantage. Pls, you guys go ahead and play the good hard challenging poe in ruthless mode. while we suffer in softcore.

Yes, big freaking elephant drums for ears is clearly what you have.

You want an easier game, go play one. This isn't the easy mode game you are looking for, and it won't ever be it.

Makes sense, that you could not come of anything better to say and admitted your defeat.

Most players(me included) that enjoy hard-ruthless style of poe 2 wouldn't play it if they would have easier mode, not because i like easier mode more(i like ruthless style waaaay more than softcore where you get everything soft spooned) but because why would i waste time for something i can get way easier in other mode. So no i like this as it is way more.

I am thinking 2 things here

1. Gold should not be obtainable by items you can trade. Gold should probably not be used for respeccing
2. Builds being overpowered means that there barely is one build on each class in one ascendancy only that is enjoyable to play. We are talking a or s tier and every other build on that class is a c tier or lower. At least that is what I experienced and what I got from Meta analysis done by others.
I think the game needs a huge buff on every underperforming skill. Or in some cases a buff so that skills or ascendancies so not solely rely on a unique to be playable.

But I am excited to see the changes in action. At least it will give me a reason to log in again.

Also Merry Christmas and good holidays
I sure hope Santa has a new poe1 league in store early next year

Ty GGG..

good stuff here, worth the time reading it after waking up.. :)

I am particularly happy about the Occult section (Chaos) changes, since I am trying to do my own build, and around 90% of Witches roll with minion build..

And I feel like chaos dot is only depending on skill lv upscale
(which I can not be sure yet, if it will go all the way) with a need of taking all or most of the chaos nodes, leaving some space for defence, that might not be enough...
Right now I am planning to keep it with Blood Mage, - not to change to Sorceress spells - because Chaos/Bone skills is obviously one way of the Witch.

By the way, I really do not agree with these one shotting deaths, I see from others, and they are coming from anywhere.. It just does not make sense to me. IF it is possible to build against it (at every class? ), without going way too far.. then okay, be it.
Also dying once and loosing a lot of.. stuff on maps, permanently seems too harsh and punishing, ppl will lose more than just ingame stuff.. and will make everyone look for builds, making the effort put "in more build", "a lot of viable builds" actually, useless.

I see that it is important for GGG to make a difference on this, (maybe their testers had easier time here, than the public :) ) end game ppl skills, that I agree with, but I personally think it could use a little change.

Patch when? :D

I told everyone GGG got our back!

Being hated by everyone due to massive and drastic nerfs is a repeat of Diablo 4.
Do you want to suffer the same fate?
There are only a few valid builds, as specified by you, and only one way to play: an avoidance game.
The lack of build and play variety is the biggest issue.
Ideally, there should be head-on builds (ways of playing) and evasive builds (ways of playing).
If you only allow long-range evasive builds, then the only users left will be those who want to do that.
Eventually, no one will play.
Just like Diablo 4.

KEKW cry me a river, bro the game is in EA, with at least 1 more year of devellopement so before crying and bitching wait for them to cook, GGG is one of the most reliable studio in the world and they proved it with POE times and times again, even in EA form this game is a masterpiece compared to D4, and it will become even better as 60% of the content is still missing. Come back in a year if you can't bear with it... and don't let the door hit you on your way out....

Thanks for your reply.
Even if this game only allows you to dodge, I have to admit that it is overwhelmingly superior to D4.
Even with that in mind, I would like to do a head-on build.
I think there should be options.

When can we expect these changes by the way? I'm not going to play maps until chaos damage and the purple balls are scaled back. They are 99% of my deaths.
