PoE 2 is boring and not fun

PoE1 for people who like to play games at high speed
PoE2 for people who need a few minutes to make a decision.


Feelsbad.

I enjoy them both, I'd like PoE2 a whole lot more if it was faster though >.<

I just wanted an updated POE1 -- new skills, classes, items, etc.

I feel like POE1 is an ocean and POE2 is a lake at best.

Your class and ascendancy logically remove most gems from play, putting you on a path with less depth (much like D3/D4). I also don't like the skill trees being different between classes, please one tree only. Sure you might find a few cute exceptions where you pull a weird combination of skills, but lookout for that nerf bat.

I loved POE1's almost sandbox elements. 3.25 was peak for me as well, just so much fun.

POE2 -- Boss fights are great -- overall though just too clunky and less fun for me personally.

I know this game could be great in a few years. I believe in you GGG. I'll be back. Just can't really get pumped to play this game right now. It does not feel like a fun power climb to me. Please bring more content based off POE2 back into POE1.

Simply not what I wanted, which was a new POE game (with gameplay similar to it).

I am lv70 and just entered map but already got my character bricked by 2 bugs.
1. Cannot do 3rd ascendancy as my Act 2 cruel Balbala wont't drop the quest item.
2. I stop gaining EXP no matter how many monster i killed. It just stay at 0% i cannot do anything at this point.

I dont't mind they made the game slower and more difficult but the way the do it is not optimal imo. What they did literally is:

1. Nerf everything, no movement skill, anything related to character is weaken.
2. Despite everything of player is nerfed. Monster (not boss) is not, they are the same thing in POE1. See the problem? when monster is so strong that can literally 1 shot you (hasted, extra xxx damage, etc.) we don't have the tools in POE1 to help to tackle them.
3. one try in each map. die = waystone lost.

there are a lot more but my patience have ran out and uninstalled till we get a better version of it, or not then I will be completely out and simple play POE1.

I really, really hope the devs listen to absolutely nothing you just wrote.

Honestly, this. I appreciate how much thought went into your post, but after about half of it I was just like..."He's describing all my favorite things about the game as if they were a negative."

If you want to read my GLOWING review of this game, please read OP's bulleted list again, but with the framing that I LOVE those things.

Hard disagree with OP.
It's all the PoE 1 whiners that are struggling with PoE 2.
Looking at "what people liked about PoE 1" is a lame idea; what, do you want two PoE 1's?
This is a different game, and some of us absolutely LOVE it for that.

This has NOTHING to do with Ruthless.
I'mm currently running only 14s/15s and I have to use several portals per map to bring out loot.
This is clearly an issue with understanding how this game works tbh.

Oooo are we playing the "Bump" game? I love that one.

Bump!

I wish I could see GGG's priorities list. Will it be adding more content? Or will it be fixing this mess from the start?

If they spent time fixing this garbage first they would have a good platform or "base" to craft on.

as far as i know, it's Christmas vacation.

True

It shoudn't. U get 3rd ascend by floor 3 sanctum or 9 floore ultimatum. There isn't quest item in act 2 cruel balabama

Consider that this game was not made for poe1 fans that want more poe1. I love poe2, and hope they make it nothing like poe1. If you ask "who is this game for?", remember, it is not you. Go elsewhere if you're so upset.

Bump.

All I ever hear from the "make the game harder" people constantly harassing everyone with any criticism is:

"you are not playing it right"
"you are bad at the game"
"you don't know how to enjoy the game, you want to ruin it for everyone"

Hey. Crazy idea -how about you STOP telling people how to play and enjoy a game, stop telling others what they find fun, and trying to dictate what a good or bad game is.
Its good for YOU.
Argue for why it should stay as it is, argue the criticism. Stop telling people they are bad players, don't know how to have fun, etc. "get good".
It's nasty gaslighting.

Worse, they even say "If you want it to be like POE1 just go back to POE1".
Well, how about YOU go back to POE1 and play ruthless mode? No?

Please GGG, make two game modes. Let everyone have their thing. I don't see why a hard mode, or ruthless mode can't be made for POE2.

As the game stands now, its not fun, its utterly boring.
Slow, stressful, feels like a chore.
