Relax internet gangster, you'll be fine and we will continue to love the GREAT game that is POE2. You spazzing like this is pretty immature... move on already and enjoy POE1, it's not going anywhere.

Lol, we both know you aren't about that life.

You gotta learn to relax my guy, it's really not that deep, have a discussion or move on.

The design is fine, the balance needs work.
Most of the complaints aren't really that it's not like poe1, except maybe in the fact that the boss fights feel like dark souls style walls and the mobility has been nerfed.
Now, honestly, I think the real issue is that a lot has been sacrificed to the altar of difficulty. Yeah, I think the objective has been achieved, but you get problems like being unable to dodge roll out of aoes regardless of timing because your low mobility doesn't mesh with the boss design, or bosses outlasting you cus they have no adds and a single flask isn't enough without a great dmg source.
You say "other people can beat it so it's fine" but other people have beaten dark souls 1 blind folded without leveling, can you do that? does that mean the game should be played that way all the time? If most players agree it's too hard, it doesn't matter if another player can do it, it's still most players.
To be clear, I think MOST of the game difficulty is fine. In particular, the final boss of a1 and trials are my only problems with excess difficulty, and the former can be fixed with a slight nerf to adds hp, while the latter is more a problem of length.
Honestly, I understand getting frustrated with the feedback you mention, but remember that saying "ugh, players, amirite" is not good feedback and is not a conversation, it's just saying "no, shut up."
The game needs work. It's amazingly designed, balanced and stable for being the beta release weekend, but that doesn't mean that nothing needs nerfing.

Doesn't dodge have i-frames to abuse for such attacks? Or am I imagining things? From my experience with act 2 poison boss i'm quite certain there are i-frames.

Man, having to do stuff without instant gratification just the way you want it must be tough. Chin up young lady, for there are many options that suit your particular squirrel minded needs.

It's funny to watch people defend a game that doesn't give them a sane reward for the effort they put in, it feels like if you take away almost all the loot they'll keep screaming how awesome it is, it's insane.

It's even funnier watching people get all weird about others defending a game they are really enjoying. POE2 has been great for me.

its not fun.
If I was doing x10 my current damage, 3x total hp and dodge had phasing it might be fun. but its a slog. if it takes 4-5 high velocity shots to kill a standard white mob then something is off. I am on the edge of ending my testing of this product based on how much fun I am not having. its so not fun that I should be paid to continue testing under these circumstances. someone would also have to pay me to play darksouls or elden ring.
