Was excited watching the videos. Reading these notes, every character I have has been broken. I was barely able to do the content as it was. Now all of my characters aren't just nerfed they are broken. I need entirely new character concepts and gear.

All excitement gone.

I haven't played in over two months. If this patch was supposed to bring me back, these patch notes just made that highly questionable.

Were you planning on staying in standard and not playing the new league? Everyone's characters are broken, but most are moving to the new league where that is irrelevant. I understand wanting to dip back into older characters, but in interest of trying to balance an unfinished game it needed to happen.

Not everyone wants to start over in beta or whatever you call this sht show. If people want to play a different class go for it, but I like playing ranger, so since I already have one why would I want to torture myself through that story line again just to get back to mapping? Especially now that the class is gimped.

Easily the worst ARPG experience I've ever had. Literally no fun anywhere to be found.

Just wow.

Well will se how this will play out later in the game.

When PoE 1 league? Come on guys, poe 2 is boring xD

POE2 0.2.0 is one of the worst gaming experience I had. Do devs even play the game? This is pathetic.

u broke your own game why???

163 k viwers on SECOND DAY) poe 2 is boring shit

LE teams are very happy about the 0.2 mess

Well it happened.

I like new content, but nerf hammer hit me HARD.

All the tweaks adds up to:
- 75% reduction of DPS
- problems with mana
- main defansive mechanism no longer effective

Yesterday I had sustained 44k DPS. Today I have 11k DPS, problems with mana and I'm getting stuned again and again on simple maps.

FRUSTRATING.

That's a lot of words for proving the fact that you're a bunch of clowns.

Where's the power fantasy? Why do I have to spend 30 hours waddling through the slog fest that is the current campaign with white mobs that are tankier than they should? Why do I always feel weak and never powerful? Is that what you want the end-user to experience for hours on end? Helplessness?

What is the current core loop of the game? Are we still talking kill > loot > upgrade > feel powerful > slowly fall off the curve > kill > upgrade because it looks like there's nothing other than kill > upgrade > kill > upgrade just to keep yourself slightly below the curve at all times.

We needed you to make PoE2, not discount Dark Souls top-down - which you have also miserably failed to replicate, because DS is a thoroughly balanced game compared to this unimaginative slog fest shell of a former great arpg title that you shamelessly named "Path of Exile 2".

I genuinely feel sorry for the designers working under the "direction" of the Game Director, or lack thereof to be precise. I feel nothing but pity for you.

Go back to the drawing board and find out what the fantasy that PoE 1 managed to sell for years on end is, then come back and change this slog fest for the better.

Nobody wants a slow paced failure of an arpg - people are already waiting for the new LE update and D4s new season. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

It's hard to make fun games when you don't want to make fun games.
