PoE 2 is boring and not fun

First 3 acts are phenomenal in terms of everything. The best ARPG experience I had so far since Diablo 1. Pity it all ends there.

Sadly, I must agree. It's just nowhere near PoE1 in terms of fun. Can it be fixed and improved? Probably, yes. Will it be? I'm not sure, some problems seem quite fundamental (like overall area size and terrible layouts or "crafting system") and I wonder if GGG will be willing to make changes.

Campaign is very good, even if you have to do it 2 times.

Some enemies need adjustments for sure (too fast, too much damage, etc.)

End game (maps) is quite boring atm because drop rates are terrible and you are forced to spend time on the trade site to progress.

The campaign is where all the problems begin. Do you rly want to do this campaign every 3 months with multiple characters?
Well, atleast my answer is clear:
Hell no!!

Why on earth there was so much focus on the part of the game, every1 just wants to get done as fast a possible... and why it takes ages?!

It seems like the whole game is designed to encourage a single playthrough.
Its nonsense. Basically everything thats pulling ppl back league after league is in a bad state.

i agree with this tbh. game is slow, movement is slow, monster density is not great (even with later maps) crafting feels bad, map system is just not fun. poe 2 isn't taking 1/4th of my gaming time right now and it makes me sad.

Bump.

I spent all the time I had yesterday, doing some towers and juicing a few maps.

I logged on today excited to run the maps I juiced yesterday, just to die 4x to bullshit and I logged off. idek what to say about that. I had the day off too. I watched TV instead.

Some of y'all are funny.

I quite enjoyed going through the Acts and learning the character. Most of your complaints seem to be completely off the mark, you are expecting a complete product, not a EA game on its first release.

Overall sentiments I'd agree (Merc traditional lvl 63 [I finally finished a single map Tier-1 in the end-game/late-game w/ my Merc -- used Cloak of Flames so I could bypass most armor passive nodes, and just focus on fire resis -- re-spec'd quite a bit trying to get hyrid {Freeze} melee to work, but in the end, just went traditional Grenades {could path to Ranger for Bow/Poison perhaps but again no interest}]; Warrior melee lvl 54; and Witch minion lvl 21 -- no real interest in any of the other classes).

Though, I think when new classes are released I will still try them out (like Druid/Templar/Marauder [mainly melee-based]) also, so I cannot judge that yet at least.

Personally, I still have 1 more build to try on my list that I think is still worth exploring, i.e. trying Cloak of Flames for my Warrior (bypass armor nodes at least [yes, they can nerf CoF later, but it is what it is]) -- perhaps that may make enough of a difference for some improvement.

(Re. the 1 Tier-1 map I completed on my Merc, I echo the same [negatively mainly] things as many folks say about mapping/end-game basically -- no interest at all in mapping more to Tier-1+. Again, no need to echo the "rate 1-10 on end-game" threads [and general community/YT/Reddit/etc] general [negative] sentiments, but for brevity's sake, I rate end-game 1/10 [for that 1 map I completed] for the experience. I just have to agree w/ the majority here [I believe], unfortunately [again, just seems like poe1 clone end-game and very uncooked for it to be in poe2 -- folks can just play poe1 for that I feel {maybe breach/delerium/etc is diff but again no interest}].)

100% agree pal. I got over 2k hours in Poe1. I was very hyped for Poe2 but after only about 60h in Poe2 I got enough. It was extremely boring 60h. I was falling asleep and frustrated often lol. Basically for all the reasons u have mentioned this game is just a hidden ruthless mode.. This game is frustrating not fun atm. I know GGG and I know it won't change. I loved how I could just chill after work while playing Poe1. I found it very relaxing.Poe2 after work? No thank you. I'm not a masochist. I'll pass with this game hope others will open their eyes too. Oh and yes; Drops rate is complete joke atm.
