Honest F for poe2

The game is a slog. Unenjoyable, slow and a chore.

It has so much friction and obstacles that its unfun.
I haven't seen a single streamer or a player smile while playing this game except of making fun of it or abusing some sort of bug/exploit.

The term "fun" has a different meaning here. It's only when there's a build that devs overlooked and is "OP" (which means playable cuz anything else equals suffering) and will get bricked with a single patch note, leading to even more pidgeonholes.

Only ppl playing and "enjoying" poe2 are poe1 addicts like myself full of copium that the game will soon get better aka spent 30 currency on steam to buy HOPE.

I can't quit this shit bcs of the thousands of hours I have in poe1, which was called as "ridiculous" due to the faster paced combat, movement and attack speed.

So the devs not only made a worse game but also shit on the temple it was built on by C.W. and try to force feed it as some sort of solution o ultimatum or whatever the heck they have in their minds.

I'm tired boss... And I can't quit.

I'm a new player, started at POE2 launch and never really played PoE1. I've been having a great time with 0.2!

Your opinion is yours but it is not shared by the whole world.

Only most of the whole world lol.

I hated the zooming ADHD builds in poe1.
I love poe2 in that aspect.

Tbh, I don't think PoE2 is bad. I think Trade is bad. I'm playing in SSF, and I'm enjoying the more gradual pace a lot. I end up appreciating everything I pick up or roll.

That being said the campaign is indeed a slog in 0.2 ...

I too thought the campaign was a slog. Then I got to the lack of any meaningful progression in SSF endgame and it suddenly didn't seem that bad in retrospect...

You've an account old enough to know that this will come later. Remember Maelstrom of chaos? Even early access PoE was just maps and nothing else with Act 3 Piety being the "end" boss. We enjoyed it then.

I'm not defending how shitty this patch has been, and yeah the end game aint great right now in comparisant. I think we're pretty much full circle at this point. Let's see what they come up with, it's already a richer endgame than PoE 1 was at a like for like time.

Yeah I'm really enjoying 0.2! I think the game is in a much better state now than it was in 0.1 and if GGG keeps cooking this games gonna be one of the greatest games of all time when it launches on early access.

Unfortunately there's a vocal part of the community on the forums / reddit / steam that's really just kind of unhinged spreading the same bad arguments about why the games going to be an utter failure and is unredeemable etc. but if you actually look at the numbers the steam reviews are still mostly positive and the game has retained over half of it's playerbase since the launch of 0.2.

The people that like the game are just playing the game and can't change their already positive review on steam.
