Most PoE content creators are a joke and PoE2 still doesn't know what it wants to be.

There's no great streamer conspiracy to poison the community against PoE 2.
The truth is that it's just a bad game and streamers are repeating what their viewers say. Similarly, the arrival of LE provided a means for arpg fanatics to get their fix since 3.26 is nowhere on the horizon and the abysmal failure of 0.2/10 are unable to provide any arpg experience. In short, people are disappointed, upset, and betrayed. It's no wonder people are calling it out and suggesting alternatives. |

" Yup.Now I'm playing LE not because it's the best game and i like so zoom-zoom gameplay, but because I thought PoE 2 would be. After 0.2, I feel like I was betrayed, and Jonathan's vision brought me back to reality. |

" DUUDE, yeah dude! You know the game dude yeah! Look at my... uhm.. lightning spear thing ... that... doesn't actually ... use any ... spears or lightning for that matter... hmm.. and I'm in endgame... huh... kinda weird... and also killing bosses under 2 seconds... huh really strange dude   "Sigh"

" 88 level killing t1 map bosses, how hilarious you are. Go try artbiter or delirium, let's see what will happen. Go get me when you reach real end game. Last edited by ShaDarkLord#6528 on Apr 18, 2025, 5:21:36 AM

" No, streamers are just dedicated PoE 1 crowd and LE is a cheap knock off of PoE 1. PoE 2 is a different game and LE is more a game for that particular crowd, nothing else. Also type of people who will not mind the cheap, plastic, mobile esque artstyle of LE. I love PoE 1 as much for mood and art as for the freedom, if not more, and wouldn't touch LE with a 10m pole. |

" but it's POE2 exact right now in THAT state. Last edited by ShaDarkLord#6528 on Apr 18, 2025, 5:24:19 AM

I know its unfathomable to you, but maybe those content creators, who are gamers just like the rest of us, really aren't enjoying PoE2 right now? Even if we ignore the 3.15 level nerf fest, for the entire 2 weeks pretty much since 0.2 came out both games have had (EU servers) big issues with lag, disconnect and rollback, and the only acknowledgement in that time has been one response on the forums, and a comment during the most recent interview about DDoS attacks.
You can think what you want of content creators, but clearly GGG do actually value their collective community views and queries (which was the bulk of Zizaran's interview) otherwise they wouldn't be making so many changes to bust down the tedium many players are reporting. For my part, I'm just going to assume PoE1 is dead and as such until 2 is in a better place - If I want ARPG Dark Souls, I'll play No Rest for the Wicked - If I want a slower paced ARPG, I'll play Grim Dawn or V Rising - If I want a tactical isometric game, I'll play X-COM 2 - If I'm pining for a PoE1 like experience, where the developers seem happy to have me, i'll play Last Epoch Right now imo, PoE2 is simply boring, irrespective of skill nerfs of lack of loot, and fails at bridging the genres. |

" DOOD... You LITERALLY, not figuratively, play THE strongest ascendancy in the entire game, and I see your second weapon set. If you wouldn't delete everything in the game, I would think you play the game on a dancepad, well... even then it's unlikely that you don't nuke everything on sight. [Removed by Support]

" It looks better literally nowhere. Actually it looks as bad as POE1 back in 2013. On the same level with GrimDawn, Wolcen and all other B or C class arpgs. They only A-class aprgs (in terms of pure visuals and aesthetics) today are D4 and POE2. Everything else is indie games. |
