I just can't really find myself liking PoE2, for several reasons

I too was a main necromancer in poe1. Let's hope lych has some focus on minions (it has an undead army on the ascenssion illustration).

Pleasantly surprised that this thread hasn't been swarmed by forum trolls yet.

The reason the pacing changes drastically is because the game wasn't ready and rather than starting Early Access with no end game, they simply tacked on the PoE 1 system.

bumping this for justice.

The discrepancy between campaign and end game is really sad, and the worst part is that ggg can't see the problem they created

I'm not asking for a dark souls clone when i say i want a more meaningful combat, i just want poe 2 to be it's own game and not poe 1.5

Yup didnt they admit they had no endgame so basically "shoehorned" POE1 type endgame in to fill out the content.

Thats why it feels like two different games. worrying thing is they appear to have gotten away with it and now seem to be doubling down on it. I cant see it ever being addressed

"slow tactiful combat"...yea right

That's the problem with this game that I have. It isn't challenging in the slightest. It's boring and tedious AF.

Okay but really, what does diablo3-ified even mean. Diablo 3 didn't have spirit. I am really confused here.

i think, if they would adress this issue, they would also have to adress so the core mechanics themself are utter garbage. if they were to actually make the endgame slow, and the combat engaging, everyone would run away because it's godly awful. they want us to be more combo-y, yet the game keeps denying you 100% full control of your character because it thinks you need help with aiming, positioning, and so on and so forth. imagine if this wasn't promoted as an arpg, but like a souls-like rpg. this game already would be dead after these few months of EA. "you were developing this garbage for years and years? yet i can't even leap slam wherever i want at any given moment?" (hint: namelocking while using a mouse for targeting, and in addition "snap to target" you weren't even targeting. you often can't even target the ground because the game will make you snap to an enemy *facepalm*)

for as long as the endgame is zoom zoom zoom, and clusterf on the screen so you can't see it anyway, the complaints will be less severe, simply because 100 people will complain about 50 different things, instead of 100 people all complaining about the same thing (core mechanics are utter garbage!)

GGG could also just be tired of entitled crybabies who think the world revolves around them.

Just saying.

That target snap killed me several times.Hover mouse to enemy but skill attack a different one.
