State of path of exile

I've been playing on and off since warbands took a break from poe since ritual until phercia league. The game has gotten so much worse and just flat out not enjoyable since around then. The game just feels toxic at the high end. We are forced to play curse immune ailment immune cannot be hindered cannot be maimed cannot be inflicted with corrupted blood insane damage mitigation 5m+ dps(and this is very low) or the game feels horrible. Tier 17 maps should not exist. Its like the devs making these decisions just want to troll/frustrate players instead of create an enjoyable experience. A lot of this game is great. but so much garbage has been added to it it feels bloated. You managed to create a game that is highly addictive but frustrating to play. I enjoy difficult games but this is just stupid now. Everything has been taken too far.
The town is also very questionable. Its a copy paste of a phone game. This type of stuff is made to make players feel obligated to play more. Its not fun. I had a really good time playing poe2 so I decided to try this event. It reminded me why I quit playing poe in the first place. I considered not posting this but screw it. Please don't do the same thing to poe2. Etched in blood When you strive to write your name on the dense pages of History, someone else, inevitably, must be crossed out.

" It wouldn't be that difficult to pare back, stepwise, poe1 to a more manageable state if the desire was there. It does not seem to be currently. I agree with Kalguur not going core. poe2 was given to us in an already bloated form with an absolute shyte endgame on which they appear to be about to double down. Much of this is just fucking sad. |

what you see is the natural result of massive power creep. according to most players here, there are no consequences of the unlimited extension of item powers.
if you think about it, what's the use of an overpowered item if you don't have exclusive access to content where it's actually needed? age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

All 3 of you completely missed the point. Power creep is only a small part of the problem. The way this game is being made difficult is not enjoyable at the highest end. map mods are completely build disabling. Mob types like drains mana deals lightning damage for example. Its not difficult its just a cheap counter. This mostly applies to t17. Like I said before a lot of this game is great. A lot of the new additions since I stopped playing are great. beyond revamp/tainted currency, harvest bench, currency exchange. I enjoyed all the new "pinnacle" bosses I fought too. The game just feels cooked at the highest end. Overdone and dry. There are better ways of creating difficulty.

i get the sentiment of the op and many replies....
I miss hellgate london.... a lot. I wish that they had won the lottery of video game success. I even played for a while on hanbitsofts servers in south korea. buying another copy only to play alone as the game was dead even in korea among a korean audience.... how was I gonna communicate with them anyway? hellgate was good. I wish GGG would have a run at hellgate. did I mention hellgate was good? hahahaha im not even on topic anymore. I hate the amount of shards and fragments and other "reasons for people to buy more stash tabs" and straight up advocate for a base price of admission in order to curtail the requirement of stash tabs for income. JUST CHARGE US STOP BLOATING IT ALL UP! Last edited by AgnosiousD#2205 on Mar 9, 2025, 11:56:54 PM
