Poe 2 is a real failure of the game fun
|
Hi.
Poe 2 is a real failure of the game fun! 3 points are particularly guilty of this failure of fun! 1. The craft that was one of the strong points of POE1 has become nonexistent and it is certainly the worst design mistake of POE2 (This point alone makes POE lose its soul): => Add more types of orbs and a craft bench like in POE 1 and go back to a richer merchant recipe system than disenchantment! 3. Portals that disappear when you get killed: => Don't delete portals upon death! 4. The ridiculously low and ridiculously low level waystone loot! And this is even if we took all the points from the talent tree to increase the number of waystone that fall and their level! It's completely stupid and demotivating! => Increase the loot of waystone AND their level This game will then have a chance to become enjoyable enough for us to want to play it longer And here, I am sympathetic because I could talk about all the other stupid decisions for POE 2 like * the insane difficulty! => make a standard mode (and a real standard => game accessible to all!), a hardcord and a ruthless for those who like to self-flagellate!) ; * the total lack of good stuff loot, an orb system clearly insufficiently rich compared to POE 1 which even has a more than surreal situation that you have to go through trade to hope to have a correct stuff so much the loot is = Zero and added to the fact that the craft does not allow to make a single correct object. (POE has really lost its soul!) ; * the fact of attaching sockets to gems rather than to stuff, which forces us to chain to an ability because we do not loot enough orbs that allow us to increase the number of sockets that we can add... ; * the excessively long and interminable acts (it is certain that many players will not even want to make a league so much they are painful and much too long to do). It's ridiculous! It's stupid! I don't know who makes these decisions but he did not understand the meaning of "having fun"! And the worst part is these ascendancy tests which are stupidly difficult! Without even mention the loss of xp on death which already annoyed me in POE1.. but hey.. we were used to that... Which makes POE 2 the most painful and punishing game in the history of painful games! Last bumped on Feb 1, 2025, 10:39:48 PM

" PoE2 is fun, and the devs know how to make a fun game. Fun is subjective. Unfortunately, it's not fun for you. It doesn't mean it's not fun, just that it's not a game for you. In the same way you aren't playing right now Chess, Minecraft, or Factorio, because those games aren't fun for you, they are still fun for their respective playerbases. The real masochists aren't the SSF and Hardcore crowd, but the people forcing themselves for some reasons to play a game they don't even find fun. You don't like PoE2 ? That's fine. It's not made for everybody, and it shouldn't. |

i had not so much fun until ~L80.
Now my main char is L88 soon 89 and i have fun clearing Maps with some good multiple explosions all over the screen with 260 Spirit to spend. pretty addictive to be honest. |

I could write a lot about how unfun PoE 1 is, doesn't mean it is not fun for anyone else.
" Yeah, definition if the fun might be so different :) For me personally, if brain is not involved in the gameplay, it can't fun. |

I do think waystones should stop dropping low tier if you are running t15/16. But the t1-9's may be from something else being upgraded to them.

All the poe2 brain dead supporters claiming poe2 is so fun but are constantly stalking the forums says you don't have as much fun playing poe2 as you do trolling poe1 players 🤣. EA isn't an excuse for 6 years of development for a sequel. Zero information after two months, don't tell me them saying delay without saying an eta is information its not its damage control. Once the rmt bots cannibalize themselves those steam numbers won't be much greater than the old poe leagues. Global chat is more dead than poe1 on ps4 once you ignore the bots.

" +1 I was almost a week without log in, today I logged to do some maps and Trials... after 20 minutes of gameplay I was yawning and almost closing my eyes. So much fun... /s |

" Did you know you can put 3 lower level ones in the reforge thingy and get a higher level one? |

Oh hey, it's the 4356423rd post about single death maps. Yes, it's annoying. No, it's not a pressing issue.
Waystone droprate too low? We playing the same game? I have half a tab of t15s and I'm a filthy casual. As for everything else. There's D4, go there. I'm so glad GGG is doing the opposite of your ideas. |

Regarding the trials:
Or rather the trial of the sekhemas, haven't done the higher level ultimatum ones. It is hard at first, and I did some runs to get used and introduced to it (I had not played sanctum a lot in poe1). But for every failed attempt I wanted to try again, I learned to plan the rooms ahead better, and what afflictions to take or to leave. Final thing I learned was to use relics with a lot of honour increase to bolster my numbers. Did a lvl 68 one with 6200 honour and thought now I'm golden! Well color me puzzled when the third boss took 2k of my honour with one hit and ended my run. That's when I learned that you need both honour increase and honour resistance. Next time I could try the trial I had a blast, it's intense, it's scary sometimes, and yet with the right preparation I finally got my ascendancy point #5 and #6, and beat that boss with 4k honour left. Such a good feeling =) Maybe this is experience is not what everyone has with the sekhema trials, but I love it. |
