"Please ignore every opinion if its not mine"

Yeah. Just make the game hard/slow like Ruthless and watch the numbers.

Lets see how far an online game goes with this directive.

It's important to realize that there are a lot of players... playing the game and not complaining that its not enough like PoE1 in the feedback forums.

The point of the post is to highlight that there are those of us enjoying it and not making forum posts, an entire player base that cannot be enticed by the zoom and boom speed creep of PoE1.

I don't mind a little challenge. But I hate the (especially asian type) grind forever games to reach anything or way to hard combat with no fun (I do not define 100+ attempts fun .. no I did not yet need that in poe2). If my hand explodes with pain from overabuse of hour long attempts, then something is wrong ... youngsters will feel that later, don't think it won't come.

Again I like a little challenge. But keep it fun. I dodn't think Act 1 was much fun, due to every mob swarming you with way more speed than you have etc. Nah. The game should still give you some sense of being the fantasy hero (no, that doesn't mean it has to be autogaming easy). But if you're just a puny little thing stressing to survive the entire game, then I'm not sure what clientele is happy with this .. grind-addicted masochists? Self-declared Elitists with no job and too much time? Only very young people whose hands and reflexes are still at maximum in life?

People who don't want things to fall over and die. Some early game skill balance goes a long way, but some classes can make early act 1 a slog. Try Soso, merc, monk, witch and it feels WAY DIFFERENT. You feel like a powerhouse off the get go.

Ranger and War you need your first bonkstick to get going. its not communicated well.

Sadly I was too busy getting lots of chars to maps w/ the guild off rip so I wasn't an earlier thread... The biggest thread on this board is just a complain thread made literally hours after the game first came out. They didnt even give it a chance.

Agree.
Actually POE2 is not a sequel to the current POE1, and the earliest POE1.
Understanding it makes you less likely to complain too much about the game's difficulty.
Even I actually prefer the current POE1.（Because I really like the feeling of growing fast and defeating enemies quickly.Although I don't hate difficult content）
I think POE2 will be another good game.Though I probably won't be touring POE2 for a repeat season.
But I have to say that complaints about difficulties should stay with POE2.
This is because the season updates for POE1 and POE2 are intended to alternate.
I don't know how long it is between season updates for POE1 and POE2.
The assumption is POE1 season - four months - POE2 season - four months - POE1 season .
Then there will always be POE1 players who go and try to play POE2 in intervals as long as eight months. (And vice versa).
Based on the above points, I'm pessimistic that this bickering will continue.
And in the end, the odds are that both games will turn out to be games with improved graphics and similar content.
I'm not sure what to do about this problem, it's probably better to give POE2 a non-POE name to begin.

Step one: never, ever take any feedback on reddit seriously.

The subreddit is actually hilarious to read right now.

Same w/ this feedback forum. Kind of tragic.

+1 also got bait and switched, loved this game before they made it baby mode and now I will never play PoE 1 again.

I don't understand the players that say they're disappointed because they were looking forward to this game so much and it's not for them. If you love PoE 1 so much, why would you be looking forward to a game that's not the game you love?

Literally makes no sense, I've been looking forward to this game since I first played PoE at launch and I really, really hope they don't mess it up. I will be so sad if they ruin this game because of a community that has no idea what an ARPG is or should be.
