Something is "wrong" with this game...

Game isn't at all difficult. You have no resistance, no EHP via defensives, and hardly any damage. This is because we have ruthless loot.
The end result is fights last 3x longer, instead of only a few abilities one shotting you, they all do. |

Yeah, I am also losing interest in PoE 2. One of the great things about PoE 1 is I could pop in, play for an hour, and feel like I made some progress. PoE 1 was a slow ramp that got you used to the mechanics, and would allow you time to build up to the next boss.
I'm only on my second day and so tired of grinding levels just so I can have a chance at Act 1 bosses. |

I will tell you what is wrong. When you press the skills it feels like its lagging. One thing that was actually good aboud d4 was the responsiveness. Sometimes when I cast one skill and immeditaly other one it doesnt even go off. If I cast a curse I have to double check If i even did something.
Just not a smooth good experience :( |

Unfortunately its a rather slow, boring game. Ruthless Souls 2 while swimming through oil. The really good things in this game are made irrelevant when my character feels like its moving underwater holding a boulder.
Unless serious changes are made, wont even bother finishing the campaign once, let alone for ANY league that comes out. |

" This is proof how different people are. That instant cast of D3 and D4 is one of my biggest issues with those games. I absolutely love the feel, pace and combat of POE2. I hate the 1 shot mechanics on bosses though and I feel like there are just waaaaay too many bosses. I feel like I am constantly walking into boss fights....I want to fight more normal mobs! |

It's the loot system there is no reward for accomplishing anything in the game. The drops suck and inventory space is crap constently going back to town feels creates a loading screen nightmare and makes the game sluggish and chore like. Boss fights are hard to set up combos and the roll roll roll roll roll roll hit the boss repaeat feels dull and repetitive.

In its current form it is a slow, tedious, clunky slogfest with weird floaty movement (pc), a roll mechanic that is rather frustrating as it doesn't have phasing, and incredibly sparce loot that completely ruins the power fantasy/progression in this "action"rpg.

I think for historical context it should be noted that the people burning out on poe2 play poe1 like 30-40 hours on league launch weekends. And that is seen as semi casual.
If they can't stomach it, it is real bad. |

It is weirdly clunky on pc, I like the challenging aspect and DOD system but it is extremely slow which is killing the fun for me.

Problem is this game is challenging in frustrating ways rather than fun ways. Easiest changes that'd "fix" things would be mobs don't respawn when you die, and bosses health bars don't go back to full when you die. You know, like poe1. The game would still be challenging but wouldn't feel like such a slogfest
