Upcoming Plans for 0.2.0g

How we get from "if it's too difficult for you go and play d4" to this state where lots of players are crying and moaning about this or that just because it's hard... Maybe some company may a great marketing strategy paying streamers for pay their game and bitch about poe2.


Very few are complaining it's too hard

We are complaining that the systems are arranged in a way that is either broken or woefully untested leading to a very boring game dominated by a single class and an economy that isn't worth participating it because most of the player base doesn't have the currency to do so.

It's not hard to identify and sell rares. But doing it as the main function of gaining currency objectively is dog shit.

It was never hard.

Starting out (A1-2) you are resource starved both with gold (merchant/gamble) and with regal/exalts (crafting) and you have no good way to solve for either problem.

This made these 2 acts feel "difficult" to the average aRPG player. Once you are into A3 and especially in cruel A4-6 that goes away, it becomes a total non-issue because you'll have solved for the problem with more resources, more gold for vendor purchases and if you are really smart you took your first exalt and bought gear on Trade.

But, by now a lot of those players had already quit. So you stopped hearing people say it was too hard since those still paying attention to POE2 have far bigger issues with the game at this point.
Let's go

I agree with almost all you've said with the exception of nerfing LS... I do not think it needs a nerf, I think the rest of the builds need to be buffed to be inline with the power and speed of LS. The player base has made it very obvious that this is what they are looking for. If it was the "vision" of a slow methodical play style, 80% of builds wouldn't be using LS for clear speed. I personally have said since day one launch all characters need more movement speed and less punishment for casting/attacking.

I have a lich which I changed to blood mage and a deadeye, the difference in clear speed between them is crazy. Bossing the difference is small, but clear speed its deadeye alllll day. The lich I changed because of how slow it moved and the fact that while casting you are penalized yet again making you even slower.

I had an add with elusive, that blue crap that drains your mana, the mod that you have to be right on top of them to attack it and a few other mods on it and all I could do was run and wait for it to kill me cause it was 2x faster than me and I couldn't escape its blue to get mana back to attack. its also painful when 70% of all adds are this new elusive modifier or the one where you have to be right on top of them to attack, I forget the name. so I went back to my rhoa riding deadeye because that's what im looking for in a ARPG. I don't want poe 1 zoom zoom, but I I do want to be able to move around faster than a snail not be stunned by every little thing and not be penalized for casting or dodge rolling. I refuse to dodge roll unless I have no other option, its almost guaranteed to be a death if your surrounded. Dodge roll and then a 1 second delay before you can cast or anything.

I digress... Don't nerf LS, Bring the others more inline with it....


It needs a nerf. It just doesn't need one mid league. They could have nerfed it inside of 2 weeks but they didn't so don't worry. It's safe. Next season it will get gutted.
guess I can agree with that, it would have just lead to another problem... no build that felt comfortable clearing large maps in less than 5 minutes. I want to be honest, even with all im on these forums, im still playing POE 2. If there wasn't a build like this im pretty sure id be watching Tv instead. not a fan of the super slow game play. I like my 5ish minute maps. I know some don't, and if poe 1 got an update and ran as smooth as poe 2 on console Id be playin that one and letting you all have the poe 2 ruthless souls experience lol.

On the brighter side a portion of the forum warriors will be in a different forum in a few hours... they will have a new target for a bit. Me, im still gonna be slinging LS waiting to see if I can go back to my lich who I really wanted to play this season.

Prism of Belief,Skeletal Sniper,Not effective,Serious BUG, please fix it as soon as possible

are you fucking kidding me? Patch announced 2 weeks ago, how much longer do we have to wait?
They are now thinking very hard about how to proceed. A few more wrong decisions and they could be left without a livelihood. I mean it.

The game is dying, are you still on vacation? We are having a hard time keeping the game going, you will slowly lose us too. Server problems are tiring in themselves.
Still not even communicating yet at this time they are 10k below last week for steam players, how much more will they run this out?

I am baffled how the "vision" is to force people to play ruthless , some of us work for a living and can't no life it so we can try more than 1 build a month. I'll gladly buy your cosmetics and such to support you GGG but if I can't even farm up a build in a reasonable time without using the amazon shopper experience that is trade then I am not sure this is the way I want to go. It's a shame since I really don't like last epoch's look but I love the power and variety of builds there, running through, smashing stuff, real loot, real crafting, not just rngesus take the wheel.

If they don't do anything this patch I'll wait for the next class and try again, I am not giving up hope they aren't so disconnected from their paying customers that they pull a AAA blunder.
