I know its your own opinion but saying the game is bad because you are having a hard time is kinda really unfair don't you think? One prominent POE stream said in the past, being bad at the game is a choice.

Just as unfair as someone saying the game is easy and great telling those who are not is unfair.

That's like an NBA player telling someone on the street being bad at basketball is a choice. Such a bad take.

YET NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN LEVEL 20 OR MORE THAN 12 HOURS PLAYED.

How many people are going to play any game for 12 hours before the game starts being fun?

My 2 cents, your fault for reading.

Well my favorite part about Poe2 so far is the lingering hype from before launch, after that the fun has continued to vanish the further I continue with the campaign. Loot, Potions, Bosses, Character Speed and huge maps that reset when you die are among the most annoying aspects of the game so far.

If people want to be slow and miserable then keep the current state of game in 'Hardcore' mode and make a fun version that people can actually enjoy, I want dopamine not anguish.

The game is not hard its a frustrating spam dodge simulator.

Its exactly the same situation as Diablo 3 Vanilla, almost 0 loot, 99% of the loot is worthless, close to 0 currency, gameplay consist in kiting everything while using spells/attacks from afar and spam dodge in bosses while some DoT dmg the boss.


Seriously this feels like a dejavu.

The worst thing is the things that are being said about anyone who does not like the current game its the same thing people said back in D3 1.0.2: "the game is fine, learn to dodge. Skill issue" while playing ias Stack Smoke DH (in this case flamewall srs).


I dont want GGG to nerf the game, I didn't wanted D3 to be nerfed in 1.0.3, I just want GGG to fix the loot overall. Gimme something useful and some currency to craft and I'll show you how easy the game really is when my gear has enough resistances and life.



The worst thing is seeing how elitist a part of this community is. Can't wait for them to play 2nd season of the game just like it is now, act1-3 twice with this loot and overall dmg. Maybe GGG can add a new mode for that, I like the term ruthless...

if they dont tone it down with how hard it is ,i dont think i will be playing more then this 1 character , i will probably go back to POE 1.

Poe1 new league when? Bc I'm not looking forward to poe2 league XD

And running through maps while enemies automatically die is not?

Well that is any arpg's goal. The arpg formula is simple:
1.) start weak
2.) get stronger
3.) become the overlord
An arpg is kind of a power fantasy!

To be blunt, not including new players, these POE 1 players who say POE 2 is bad, boring, dodge simulator and such are pampered by POE 1 so much. If you have attempted the uber in POE 1 just a few times, you'd immediately notice some semblance about how you approach a fight in POE 2. The only difference is that, we are slower in POE 2 and thus, we dodge more. If you haven't done any pinnacle boss in POE 1, then I think that's also a valid way to play a league so I am not gonna blame you for that. Bosses have too much hp? too hard? then why do other people can do it quite easily? Is the the difficulty of POE 2 really the problem or on other factor?

I know its your own opinion but saying the game is bad because you are having a hard time is kinda really unfair don't you think? One prominent POE stream said in the past, being bad at the game is a choice.

Maybe you should remember, that the Ubers are done by a tiny fraction of POE's populace, most players never do them. And the tiny fraction alone is too little to sustain a game. POE is already not a game for casuals, so the playerbase isn't as broad as that of other games. And now designing POE2 for 2% of that playerbase - that is bad game design, and delusion. I have no other word for that. Especially as they marketed POE2 as "more accessible." Sorry, it's the opposite, and they need to hear that now.

But when that power fantasy reaches a point where you're no longer playing the game because it plays for you, i'd say it's a bit too much and definitely boring. To each their own of course but to me that was one of the biggest reasons why i stopped playing POE 1. I really hope POE 2 end game will be as engaging as it is now. While there are of course things in need of tuning, the core gameplay is extremely addicting to me at the moment.

poe1 is more fun. challenge =/= fun. characters are weak as fuck and content is a slog. I am sure there is a market for this game, ball torture is a thing, but im starting to realize im not the target audience. Calling it now that the people who enjoy current poe2 will do so for 1 play though and be done & league content pipeline will fail to recapture pervious leagues. i have zero desire to play this on a league format is the story is this much of a slog and will take 30-40 hours to finish for endgame.
