Early Access Feedback - How is this a looter ARPG when you NEVER LOOT ANYTHING!?!?!?!? - Forum

HOW IS THIS GOOD GAMEPLAY????? I want to have the enjoyment of FINDING good gear, of getting a good drop that makes me excited... not have to go and buy everything in the worst, most boring way possible!!! And then you have people swarming you in the chat in the most psychopathic way, telling you 150 times to quit the game because "it's not for you"... and you have "skill issues"... well, I guess not wanting to stop playing to go to an outside online market to buy stuff cause the game doesn't give me anything is a "skill issue" I dare you to get through the campaign without trading... I dare you!!! The game on it's own as it is, if you don't wanna engage in trades before endgame is UNPLAYABLE!!! Now tell me something... how is farming money and currency to go and buy stuff you need a video game??? It's not... it's a job... this game's gameplay is the equivalent of saving up to buy a new TV... it's PATHETIC!!! The game is 100% a real life simulator and you're simulating having a boring ass job where you go in and out every day until you have enough to FINALLY go buy something to pass the time a bit more fun for a while... that's it!!! Sure, you don't want the game to be Diablo 4 and have loot explosions... I get that... but have we gotten so f*cking stupid that we have decided that not looting a single usable item for HOURS AND HOURS in a row is good gameplay??? I'll make another thread on the most basic video game design thing which is how to make a video game FUN and not a chore so that this won't get too long... GGG... idiots might be glazing you right now, but this is NOT a good game... sure, it has all the ability to be fixed cause the base gameplay has a ton of potential... but as it is now the game is a chore... it's NOT fun and it's certainly NOT REWARDING TO PLAY!!! skill issue So, scarce loot and bad luck is a "skill issue" I assume that in your resume you have a special section about "being lucky" then???

Loot isnt scarce though. Mash the clean	Posted by Mashgesture#2912 on Jan 3, 2025, 10:13:33 AM Quote this Post

I have no rarity, and I just looted a divine a map ago Last edited by GODOFWARSANCHEZ#4574 on Jan 3, 2025, 10:36:10 AM	Posted by GODOFWARSANCHEZ#4574 on Jan 3, 2025, 10:35:51 AM Quote this Post

You've been raging for 13 pages since I opened this and went to bed last night, so I don't feel so hesitant to say this anymore. If you spent half as much time playing as you did whining about the loot you didn't get, you'd have more loot than stash space. You can't even control yourself well enough to get through your title without capslocking, no one is going to take anything you have to say seriously. Maybe go try the Elden Ring devs after Melania kills you, tell them the game is too hard and convince them what trash they made.

Game isn't for you, simple as that. Not interested in insulting you or anything but you need to look elsewhere because the devs' vision does not and will never align with yours. There are other ARPGs that slam you with loot so you spend more time looting than playing. Play something that you will have fun with instead of raging out at a game you don't fully understand Last edited by bringo322#0476 on Jan 3, 2025, 11:54:03 AM	Posted by bringo322#0476 on Jan 3, 2025, 11:52:04 AM Quote this Post

Maybe go try the Elden Ring devs after Melania kills you, tell them the game is too hard and convince them what trash they made. When I die in Elden Ring I don't get punished... also this is PoE and not a souls game so why are we comparing them? Yes, the devs think they can make this into Elden Ring because they're clueless about their own genre apparently but Elden Ring and a looter ARPG are not comparable and shouldn't be!!! Secondly, what I do with my time is not your concern or business... I type fast and so I can reply to people because I have office skills and so when I am interested in something I actively offer time to it... and right now playing PoE2 is massively less rewarding than trying to open an actual conversation about how this game is absolutely horrific and unrewarding because then they might actually fix this abomination and I can enjoy playing a game that rewards me for my time spent... So no, I'd rather type than play this game that rewards me with NOTHING for the 3 hours I play during the day... Ok honey boo boo???

+1 I prefer to FIND or CRAFT my gear, not to BUY it...	Posted by Hemfive#4236 on Jan 3, 2025, 2:40:05 PM Quote this Post
