Yeah PoE1 and Diablo 4 are looking better

I like the game and all but I'm not one for following someone else's build and like the grind to 300 in Diablo 4 I'm just bored, it's the same bosses over and over and over and over to get nowhere fast. The dying constantly now is aggravating. The whole game was fun as hell until I hit another bump where I have to backtrack to proceed. PoE1 was manageable and fun, now I feel like I'm playing demon souls, dark souls I could evade off of a cliff.. in PoE2 I'm stuck watching my character get mauled to death by 30 enemies who should've been vaporized by my lightning but because I'm not using a "meta monk" I'm getting nowhere fast. This is the elitism in Diablo 4 after they closed the "capstone dungeons" the game became stale and you had to use specific builds and yada yada yada. It's just not fun anymore after the 15th attempt at the same boss on the same level. I can't even get my experience bar to budge on enemies my level. I could go on but I just don't want to...
Back to PoE1

I would also like to say, I'm on normal lol, not even cruel...

PoE 2 is pretty much worse in every way imaginable compared to PoE 1.

Just waiting for 3.26

According to you. I think PoE2 is superior in almost every way to PoE. Yes, it needs balancing and the end-game is lackluster. But that is to be expected from version 0.1.

My first character in PoE2 was a bit difficult as well, but I didn't quite understand the mechanics just yet. On my 2nd character I just flew past the content. If you have difficulties even on normal difficulty, I suggest taking a good look at your build. And no, I'm not using meta builds.

Excuse me, but I CANNOT believe in claims like that.

Why? Who says that other than sycophants who feel Chinese mega corporations need their protection on the internet?

This game is not a case of "we adjusted enemy HP and player damage for POE2 slightly", this is more along the lines of "F*CK these players, throw everything you can at them to slow them down" .....and it's awfully reminiscent of the infamous "And then we doubled it!", uttered by some clueless prick about D3's inferno endgame, right after it had launched.

Bugs are to be expected, even performance issues to a degree. But if this is the first draft of their original vision for this game, we're truy f*cked.

sadly i feel the same way. visuals and gameplay itself are really good. besides that every aspect is worse. next time starting poe for me is when 3.26 launches

I prefer POE 2 over 1 for the simple reason that flask usage is annoying to deal with. I'd rather deal with random 1 shots then ever have to manage flask buff uptimes
