Why did you stop playing the game?

I have 1500+ hours in the game playing minion solely. I mainly play hardcore trade league or SSF. Played a lot of standard in 0.1

What you are saying is simply out of touch. Minions got nerfed to the ground at the launch of 0.2 to the point the devs made a video recognizing they went way too far. The DPS was reduced by 90%. They rolled back and its still much lower than it was prior. In SSF Standard, beating T3 simulacrum isnt a thing.

But maybe for you beating boss maps is the end game, it's not for me.

I've seen many of your post and you often use hyperboles, like saying the nerfs are 1%.

90% is actually conservative, it was probably worse if you take in account the debuffs nerfs.

So, I love the core gameplay of PoE2 for what it's worth, and largely enjoyed the campaign. That said, I did not make it to maps when I played, and despite wanting to very much, don't anticipate doing so in the future unless certain kinds of slog are toned down.

The campaign and bosses are cool, but there's too much of that content to deal with on a repetitive basis. The maps are huge (smaller now, not small enough for how many there are) and the sheer number of bosses you have to clear every single campaign playthrough (twice with Cruel!) is absurd for anything but a one-and-done single player game. On a seasonal basis? Nuh-uh.

All that goes double with the resetting of mobs on death or map reload. Announcing that mobs would not respawn unless an instance timed out or you deliberately create a new one would instantly make me want to try the upcoming patch if they did it. As it stands, I'm not sure I'll bother without some really damn compelling hook.

I just do not understand The Vision™ anymore.

Examples:
- Look at what they did with essences... what does it tell of GGG's Vision™ of crafting?
- Gems link system is worse than in PoE1 (wasn't good either IMHO), why not just bound gems links to quests and/or character progression?
- Gems restrictions per weapons are way too restrictive
- I still do not understand why you loose resistances when you progress through acts (why not balance monsters instead?)
- Campaign is way too long, I have no desire to reroll
- Cannot easily swap between mouse and keyboard in 2025

Sadge

I agree with everything said pretty much.I am by no means a hardcore player.You have made anything past the campaign impossible for a casual player.Death penalty in atlas maps for casual players is going to make all casual players leave the game.Why would I bother playing for an hour or two in t13 maps only to die a couple times and loose most or everything I just accomplished.Nope,sorry,I deleted it from my system on the weekend.I will go back to D4 before I play this again.Loot in T13 maps should not be level 30 gear uniques.Really,give your head a shake.No in game trade system is laughable and loot filters? I died more times than I could count by picking up junk instead of attacking.Good luck with it.I wont be playing again.

No, it's in fact a real in game experience at the release of 0.2.
How can that be out of touch? Are we living in different dimensions?

I played SRS minions, I killed the Act1 boss in < 30 seconds, I did a bit of Act2 then rerolled because I was playing the game with game shark codes enabled and it was bring.

Whilst you are going with your feelings, here is evidence based in reality :

And here's a direct quote from GGG themselves :

The goal of those were to impact very high level minions and some outliers but it affected them on a more broad scale causing them to feel weaker than we intended, especially in the middle of the campaign.

Nothing you posted has SRS minions being buffed offensively in the early acts, only later.

Do you actually play POE2 or just mimic what your favorite steamers say?

At least now, it's crystal clear, for whoever reads this forum that the only purpose for your posts are sheer trolling. This toxic behavior seems to be the standard on this forum and apparently the support seems fine with it.

Enjoy the endgame of this game, which seems to be a toxic person on the forums.

100% true. Minions totally got nerfed into the ground in .2. Not even sure why they were nerfed so heavily bc they weren't OP in .1.

Looking forward to playing minions in .3. Hopefully appropriate changes were made for minions after the disaster that was .2. I'd like to see some heavy buffs specifically to the melee minions.
