I'm too soft for Poe2

The game is tons of fun but the boss fights are overtuned.It's like doing mythic raiding in wow without DBM(encounter addon,u're pretty much blind and deaf without it)
Constant mechanics constant movement yes it is overtuned especially act1,that should be entry anyway.

DS and ER were easy. I just didn't love them. You're over here skill shaming after calling an arpg challenging, and I am casually doing things in pvp that you're physically and mentally incapable of doing even if you dedicated your life to it.


Lol, sure thing bud.

Who have I shamed btw? All I said is that I enjoy a challenge and am enjoying the game.
I got the sauce.

POE1 & 2 enjoyer.

poe 2 is an easy game if you play a good build, but there's a problem

they implemented so many changes to make it easier on casual/new players but accidentally made it much more difficult by designing a terrible passive tree.

the moment you try something that's slightly out of the ordinary, the game heavily punishes you for spending too many passive points on travel nodes. I tried to play a caster witchhunter and got to act 3 with it, had decent gear and I believe my passive tree couldn't have been better, but the moment I switched to a basic ass grenade build I started dealing about 500% more damage with a 2 ex crossbow and a gem setup I made in 5 minutes, simply because I spent less on travel nodes by doing so

this didn't even matter in poe 1, and people were still pretty much exclusively playing league starter builds. now it's going to be even worse in poe 2 because you're literally forced to play the most obvious build, and your build is determined by your starting location on the tree, not by your ascendancy. they failed big time with pre-endgame build diversity imo

It sounds like you're just adverse to challenge and probably suffering from skill issues as well. Don't presume to tell me what I like and enjoy, remember that going forward.


You've probably vomited out default "durr skill issue" so many times that you can't keep track. Worse than Ruthless loot makes the game feel slower. It's not a skill issue. I am still shit stomping the game and having enough fun with it. I pvp rank flexed on you because you made a dumb comment. I play arpgs to get a break from the skill intensive stress in highly ranked pvp, and you play arpgs because for you these games are skill intensive, remember that going forward.

If people talk down about something, I'll talk down to them, that's the way of the world. If you dislike the game, don't go about it in a troll's fashion, state you dislike it and state why... next time post what it was in response to, now enjoy your L and move on.

Have fun with your so-called, "GM and challenger ranking" you claim to have and intellectual dishonesty.

You're a walking strawman. I never said that I dislike the game. In fact, I said I'm having fun. Also, stop being salty about me shitting on your "skill issue" rhetoric. Grow up. It's okay that I am GM and challenger in pvp, and you are an extremely casual PoE player with no opinion that really matters here.

I won't be responding to your next strawman drivel, because you only have one trick and you're boring. So go ahead and make momma proud and get your last word in or whatever. I know how important it is for your self esteem.

Tried melee, feels terrible.

Game feels overtuned.

I'm too soft.

Guess this is gonna be a hard pass.

Nope it's not just you.

I played Warrior Titan.

Got to lvl 71.

Spent several hours trying to do 3rd Ascendency trials.

Uninstalled the game.
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands.
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands.
This is to be expected, a lot of players play this type of game for power fantasy, but they end up with peasant fantasy :)

IM perfectly fine with the difficulty.
What I dont like is the aweful click to move system, 100 times worse than in PoE1.

Game forces you to use wasd or controller, is crap design.


Honestly feels like they could've just dropped click to move. I get it's there to appease people who are most familiar with it, but I think it'd be better to just tear that band-aid.

Once you get familiar with WASD it's superior in every way anyway, that's why it's the standard for games. It's not worth having click to move solely so people who are scared of change won't have to learn something new.
