Kinda sad what other people here are saying about POE 2
" QFT. Lots of people have no patience to learn new things, want to be hand held into end game and need instant tik-tok like gratification to enjoy something. Without patience there is no intelligent discussion and only impulse criticism instead being constructive. POE2 looks like something I've been waiting ever since Lineage Eternal alpha gameplay showcase and congratz to developers for such a game. Tears make streams. Fish live in streams. I like fish. /MonstaMunch Last edited by Powderoff#1246 on Dec 9, 2024, 3:06:49 AM

+1.
Glad they got rid of the ZOOM ZOOM - dash across the entire map 1 shotting everything before something touches you once and die gameplay. I hope that GGG doesn't yield to people crying and make it like POE1, if so why bother with 2 if its the same? I will agree that there are definitely some fine tuning things that need to happen. -Lower regular mob pack HP so its not as spongy. -Make gem drops more frequent to encourage people to try more abilities / supports. Help save the Kiwis!!

This Game is different than other ARPGs, i love it. People who dont like the difficulty or the new slower gameplay should just go back to poe1, d4 or last epoch. There are enough ARPG's out there who are this no-brain fast paced, just click once to win. I hope GGG is not nerfing the difficutly, this game fills a void in the ARPG genre!

I love the game so far and I'm one of the late joiners for PoE1.
Currently still in Act 1 and many deaths at the hands of mini bosses but still enjoying it. I can say most of the players that hate PoE2 are expecting high loot drops in single run and from what I notice the RNG is really random. Some mini bosses don't give good loot and their fights are really tough. Instead I get good drops from rare mobs and orbs from containers, weird I know. |

" Yes especially that "fixing" PoE 2 for the lawnmower crowd means the skill interactions and tactical usage would become useless, replaced by 1 click delete. |

I'm loving the slower pace and the difficult tactical gameplay! D2 vanilla feelings once again, 20+ years later.
Of course there is some balancing and tuning to be made, but the vision and structure are there; please don't change that, GGG. There are plenty other ARPGs for the people who are more into that fast-paced mindless blasting gameplay. |

It's horrible. PoE2 is tiresome to play. Dodging and backpedaling is not enjoyable. I find it extremely tedious. My first 15 minutes saw NO loot drop, nothing! Not even grey stuff and when it did, it was suited for another class. 3 skills per weapon? Seriously? Barely any support skills? PoE1 at least made it exciting in that manner. I feel like this game uses the PoE name just to trick people who played the first game into buying the second and now that they have, they can go have intercourse with themselves.
Then you read all the "git gud" or "harder is good" or "pampered by PoE1" or "it is not hard" but I'd love to take a look at the people who say this, I bet very few of them are casuals. While PoE was enjoyable as a casual, this... getting owned 4-5 times in a row by the first boss 5 minutes in kinda sucks. I've cleared the first act and was so bored of running in molasses that I just don't even want to try with another class. The game is beautiful but that's it. You can totally polish a turd as the Mythbusters have proven and this is it. Wrapped in gold. Great visuals with severely flawed execution. I am happy for those who enjoy this slow paced isometric Souls roll dodge fest, I really am and I really wish I enjoyed it too but I can't. It's not fun. So I uninstalled it (I was told that if I don't like it, not to play but I need to play it first to know if I like it or not no?, you genius you). So there. It's a horrible game, a very good looking, DEI/Woke free dumpster fire of a roll around backwards game. I was really looking forward to play it as the AAA industry has been acting weird and quite Rxxxxxxd for the last couple of years and BAM! They do this. Sigh. |

Just a cautionary tale for those of you who want things to stay the way they are:
Similar voices were very loud on the D4 forums after launch, too. Look what happened. You can say no one wants a one button. one shot zoomer build all you want, but the fact that every ARPG eventually either gets to that point, or dies off, is pretty powerful evidence that the players at large do in fact want exactly that. To put it another way, power creep doesn't just happen, it happens because the players want it to happen, even if a loud minority of them are screaming for it not to the whole way. The developers vision always ends up ceding ground to that reality. It happened in D3, in D4, and it'll happen here. |
