My experience with POE2

This is my experience with the game after 4 days, 10 hours, 31 minutes, lvl 86 witch.

-Great campaign, too long but great.I dont know how many people will enjoy spending 30 hours every season doing this.

-Loot still bad after update, I get regal shards from rares with 4-8 modifiers.Greater and perfect jewellers are just legends, you can hear about but never see them.Got just one greater.How I suppose to upgrade my skill slots?

-Trials for ascendancy too bad, hard.-800 honour per hit makes this impossible in sanctum.

-Bugs like game is crashing in maps, trials, minions are dying if they are out of screen instead following.Rares are very fast, can`t even run.Minions are getting blocked in doors all the time.

-Game poorly optimized, Rtx 4090, I9 14900kf I can`t even sustain my monitor hz, 165.Sometimes my fps drop below 50.

-Waystones sustainability seems to be a joke.Looks like some atlas points are not working properly.

-Most of the uniques are useless.(you are doing the same thing like POE1)

-Best notable in skill tree are not working at all.

-It`s a joke to put headhunter in game, you get all rare modifiers just for 20 sec but the thing is, you have maybe 4-5 rares in that huuuugeeeee map.

-We have expedition but no stash or tab.
-Breach too many monsters.
-Rituals areas too small, spawns also bad.

I love you GGG but you are going in the wrong way.Making a ruthless game is bad for everyone, this should be an option, not mandatory.At current state, game is not friendly for any new player.All the best!

Wanted to respond to just a couple things you said;

It takes a couple hours to get through the campaign once you've learned it, and you know the build you want to use. If you're still taking 30 hours after that is just an experience issue.

It's one week in, and that's not even a week in end game. You're not supposed to have fully linked skills yet. Now if you've spent a week farming t15s and haven't found any, yea that's a problem.

If you're losing 800 honor a hit, you need to actually use the mechanic of stacking relics, and get your own defenses up.

What resolution is your monitor? My 4090 does just fine on a ~2.5k monitor, but yea if you're trying to push 165 frames on a 4k you're going to have a bad time.

define couple hours ?

just opened tyty stream. he did act 1 speed run. 2 hours.

what a ludicrous statement

It was around 30 hours.For sure next time will be better, not for new players.
The jewellers drop rates are very low.Got 2 divines but not a single perfect.
About relics, just an relic with 3 slot is missing, all of them I got honour resistance.
I play 1440p, sometimes I got 165 fps but most of the times are below 100, in maps 70-80 fps, breach/ritual 40 fps.There is a new engine for this game, performance should be better for everyone.
DLSS on?
When I first played PoE1 it was more exciting.
When I first played Diablo IV it was more exciting.
When I first played Victor Vran it was more exciting.

PoE2 has made some pretty weird decisions on how a player has to experience it. I am not as thrilled by it.

DLSS on with DLAA
No matter what I change can`t see any difference.Like POE1.If I change on ultra perfomance still no effect.

I have a 14900k and a 4080S and I play the game on 4k at 144 capped FPS with almost no FPS drops and max quality settings. Do you have a damaged 14900K?

My pc pretty new, 5 months old.No problems with another games.Can you reply your game settings, if you don`t mind?
Performance is all over the place. It's worse on PS5 in the town, around other players, yet generally smoother than PC in the maps.

It doesn't feel very well optimized but it's very inconsistent and I don't think it's GPU bound, as the same area can lag where it wasn't lagging earlier, even in maps without other players around. Load balancing issues perhaps.

3090 with DLSS Performance Mode in a ~ 1920x1440 window, for those who will obviously ask.
