Cool build, but cant help but feel this sorta playstyle shouldnt be encouraged by the devs for poe2.

Wasnt the point to get rid of zooming, and instant screen clearing and slow the game down, or have we already abandoned that idea.

Every meta build that has existed in POE 2 so far has been exactly this way. I don't think they understand HOW to make any other playstyle feel rewarding. Or at least something that scales without getting stupid.

I know, and yea probably not, hota monks, lightning spear, aoe maces, fully agree its nothing new.

Them promoting the zoom just rubs the wrong way, in terms of the proposed design ideas for poe2.

I have to respectfully disagree here. The devs have shown they can make other playstyles work - look at some of the minion builds or the more methodical melee setups that are actually performing well. Sure, the flashy screen-clearing builds get all the attention on Reddit, but that doesn't mean they're the only viable option.
Maybe the issue isn't that other playstyles don't scale properly, but that players gravitate toward the path of least resistance? The game's still in early access after all.

I was one of those who defended this game for the past six months. But even my patience has run out.

PoE2 is currently literally unplayable due to server issues. The game is UNPLAYABLE right now. There's no content, no news, no teasers, and no posts acknowledging that you even see the problem. The game has been abandoned.

Meanwhile, the "dead" first game gets a league.

Where else in the world does a developer release a second installment of their game, abandon it, and instead work on the first one?

Is Team Fortress 1 still being developed? Is Smite 1 still being developed? Is CS 1.6 currently under development? Is Overwatch 1 getting new content?

NO. Because you don't need to keep dragging along an outdated game when you have an IDENTICAL new one that's already brought in a fresh audience. An audience you're betraying and spitting on because the game is IMPOSSIBLE to play due to servers, not to mention the complete lack of content and updates.

there is no way around it, unfortunately.

the economy has this game by the balls. any issue you have in this game usually can be traced back to the fact that it has a dynamic player driven economy.

Its a pretty commonly stated economical principle is "Time is Money"

being faster will always be more rewarding, unless they counter a slower play style by rewarding it more. Which i dont anticipate ever being something they will address.

The idea of cutting back on the zoomy gameplay should have been stricken from your braingrapes as soon as you entered endgame in 0.1...Breaches, delirium mirrors on a timer, simulacrum...literally none of these things work for slow gameplay. ive made a couple warriors and all of the endgame content feels like absolute hog shit.

Would love for one of these brain-dead "influencers" to simply ask:

"You say you want more focus on meaningful combat...how do you expect for that to play out in an event like Simulacrum or even delirium mirrors where your effectively expected to destroy enormous hard hitting hoards of enemies on a timer in order to get better rewards? or the twisted domain which is also timed. because its hard to demphasize speed when you are directly tying the quantity and quality of rewards to a timed event. is the answer to remove timers and allow people to play at their own pace or keep the timers an rewards the most powerful players"

instead of:

"Auction house...when?"
"Any improvements coming to crafting?"
"Druid....when?"

The general quality of discussion in the ARPG community is just kind of bad/simple

The most ignorant people are the ones most convinced of what they say.

Jonathan explained DDos attacks are responsoble for the server instabilities. Now who could be responsible for those attacks?

Abandoning POE1 would be very stupid. To alienate its loyal 200k players instead of trying to keeping them.. how good would that be?

Also GGG have said they plan to update the game every 3 month. So that's what to expect.
