PoE 2 is boring and not fun

This is the best we got after FIVE years of them working on PoE2. Let that sink in. 5 year and they released half the total game and had to port over the Path of Exile endgame.

POE1 has been effectively abandoned so the "just go play POE1" is no longer a legit argument. The OP has everything great but, astonishingly, actually missed some stuff because they didn't get to maps. It gets worse then.

I did get to "maps". It's a waystone system now and it's like they decided to shove Delve into mapping instead of keeping it how it was with PoE 1 because they have to change mapping for the sake of showing people it's different on PoE 2. It's awful. Same layouts, less map atlas choices, overly complex and convoluted compared to how it was with PoE 1. Idk wtf I was even looking at half the time I was mapping. All of it boiled down to just mapping in groups with an MF character and farming for gear to play lightning arc. If I want to play lightning arc, I can play it on PoE 1 where it's way more polished and has 100's of other spells you can play like ice nova coc, lightning warp ts, etc. This type of gameplay isn't allowed on PoE 2 because you're supposed to play slow to enjoy the character animations they took time making. They spent years conditioning PoE 1 players to a dopamine fest of zoom play via fast-clear speed builds and now we should start playing the game like it's dark souls. No thanks. Keep your PoE 2. Thank God they didn't merge PoE 1 into this. Would've completely killed the game.

irrelevant. the problems with poe2 have nothing to do with it being EA. the problem is in the core. the devs want the game to be overly punishing with very little rewards. right now the game has zero fun in it. for this game to be enjoyable the devs ned to change their entire thought process and i dont see that happening.

Exactly what I said. They can make as many changes as they want at this point and it won't make it what PoE 1 is. Imagine making a sequel just to take away a majority of what made PoE 1 fun in the first place. Almost feels like they accidentally made PoE 1 into a successful game then decided to make it into something else.
