PoE 2 is boring and not fun

Poe2 is not badly made, I simply am not having fun playing it.

I have come to feel so about the complete APRG genre a complete none fun way to waste time.
I hardly played poe1 so have no reference.

In terms of poe2 really enjoyed it at the start but the end game.. especially as a casual player. E.g I work 9-5 and have 2 kids.. just feels to much like an extra job/chore just to play the game.

E.g setting up waystones, setting up the maps / towers. Dealing with all the rng on waystones.....

Which idiot thought it would be a good idea not to allow us to reforge t15 to t16???

Then dealing with the rng on the map it self . Breach in Val... Fook my life.

There is no skill involved in any of the above it's just time and rng.... Finally if it all lines up I can go kill stuff for some shit rewards...


My other gripe is crafting.. can we just rename it to lottery gearing.... Unless am missing something it's mostly just rng the omens do very little to actually craft...

the game is great. it's not difficult, it's different than poe1 and that's how it should be! I read these comments of whiners who want to kill the boss without leaving the city, they have their hand in their panties and scratch their balls!! the gaming community is currently a mass of crying pussies who want everything right away and preferably without effort. I dream of you going to D4, they need people like you there,.. 10 minutes and you're already lvl 60!


Best game for India Mobile!!

Maybe you’re just not good?

There is a lot more coming. A lot of what you’re mentioning wasn’t in Poe 1 right away. For christs sake give them some time. Go play something else for a while. Come back after a few major updates.

I would agree in general, no ARPG game deliver interesting enough combat atm. Early acts of PoE 2 good, but that's it. I doubt that endgame of PoE 2 will ever be fun enough for me to play, but maybe, or maybe some other game will. Like, Titan Quest 2 EA will be launched after few weeks, or maybe LE will be sold to developers who will actually develop it, or something else will eventually be made, because genre is changing and fun game may eventually come out in the ARPG genre.

GGG had so long to learn but made same mistakes as PoE1 beta and other functionality introduced throughout PoE1. That is unless this is intended since it's a 'different game'. I enjoyed the early parts of the campaign but the end game is too much rng and frustration.

I like the folks that give feedback of 'git gud' with on death mechanics, but then say stuff like 'D4 bad' when it's the same thing with on death mechanics. I don't have a dog in the fight but they tried to do too much and got too cute with mechanics. It's probably 1-2 years away from being tweaked with all the changes.
endgame feels too repetitive and boring.

in poe1 when i was tired of mapping i liked to change the pace with some blights/super-blights until the itch to map again catches on.

now i got nothing to change the pace lol

it feels a bit slower too. @91 in poe2 i feel like i would be 96 in poe1.

Replies on this post are insane.

People will eat whatever they are being fed. OP is right on everything.

Game is slow, boring and lost its charm. If you find something strong you cant commit to it because it will be nerfed to unusable levels. They dont know how to balance the game to not break builds.

Souls like has no place in arpg, you have to be strong, fast and feel progression to have fun. Right now it has 0 Replayability because i dont see myself wasting 20 hours in a campaign every league to make a new character. What if i want new character in current league? Another 10-15 hours of slow slag? And to what? Die to white mobs in maps and get one rare item from entire map, gold and chance shard from a strongbox?

Very high effort, very low reward, no power, no fun, no progression. That was is poe 2 right now
Just started Huntress (Spear) today (0.2.0B) -- will update a few thoughts later.
