This is one of the best and worst games I ever played.

There are so many good things about this game but than there are so many bad things that just ruin it.

Trading is awful
Ascendancy is awful and torture
Loot is awful and unrewarding until late maps

End game is so bad. I feel the devs hate gamers and want to punish them. I can't see myself starting over every season. Only streamers have that amount of time it requires.

Campaign was fun but the thought of doing act 1 and 2 fresh and poor. I would have to hate myself to do that every season. Then to have to spend days on the trade browser pinging thousands of players. This game does not value peoples time. Than add to getting all 8 ascendancy points. I rather drink poison.

Great core game but its clear this game is about punishing its player base. There is no such thing as competitive arpg gaming. Nobody wants a game as casual as D4 we want PoE which had challenging content but also very chill content.

I'm baffled...
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
Agree, first playthrough is pretty nice and interesting, but I don't see myself doing this every league.

what happens when big GGG hypes this game up before EA and everyone toots their horn saying it's the 2nd coming of christ
"Path of Exile's engine is currently modern, lean and fast." - Chris Wilson, September 19th, 2019

"It looks like we broke something with 3.10.0. We don't know what it is yet." - Bex, March 16th, 2020
We are starting to see players run out of steam on this game. The newness is wearing off. The fun is equal to the proportion of frustration - hence cancelling each other out.

Honeymoon will soon be over for much of the player base. My friends and I are just about ready to quit now. If this much effort is going to be the 'de facto' requirement every new season/league, we will not be returning.


GGG, I implore you to consider this. If you will not even consider it, then I hope you are happy with only appealing to people with all the free time in the world. Best of luck to you all.
Yes, GGG is happy for players who have all the time in the world to play their game. This is their market. Casual gamers are trash to them.

So if one wants to enjoy the game:
Play - more - hours.
Buy more tabs.
Devote - more - hours.
Forget life. If POE is not your life then you are not going to enjoy it.

And most of all, never forget, it's just Early Access.
