for johnathan's fun or players?

Simple question to ask is this game meant to be fun for players or johnathan?

because to be frank its not fun. as a casual i have failed a level 60 area trial of sekhemas 5 times now and have no coins to attempt again. And at this point of the game at level 74 i have died 118 times due to lack of good drops and defenses. So are we actual having fun?

Jonathan is apparently. I don't think he will listen to this posts anyway. I had 8 friends in my Xbox account playing POE2 , after season patch i'm the last one. Everyone stopped playing and i keep trying a little every day but can't do more than 1 map, i was playing an average of 10 hours a day in 0.1 where now i struggle to finish a map because the experience feels horrible

i am not casual player but not a "pro" for hardcore ssf
i died not that much because of good build, but i feel like my character acting like underwater. painfully slow. my main ability have 0.4 sec of unreducable use time (1 sec overall), and i have not that much variants to hit faster (with 1h spear lmao). and every slow-aura mob makes me to use my attack for years.
failed a lot of sekhemas until i got 80+ evasion to not die while animation-locked

I saw the interview with ziz and was shocked about jonathan. We are all wrong and his vision is fun.

Almost everybody thinks the game feels like work or like a old chewing gum.
Campain is fine the first time, or acceptable 2nd time ....

Mapping in this strange atlas is unfun. The idea that we have to backtrack even in this alice-in-wonderland atlas because we dont know in which direction the corrupted nexus are is just frustrating. You do one boring endless map after map with garbage loot .

It's not enough backtracking in maps ... no ! We have to run senseless in different directions in atlas too. The poe 1 atlas with the linear and rewarding (from ea h map 1 point) is even the 50 time nore fun than this bs atlas in poe2.

obviously for him only

he apparently enjoys torturing us, said multiple times as "slower gameplay" in interviews and that's what gave me a bad feeling even before the patch came out.

not only this, my legacy sorceress in standard league is unplayable as well

At the end of the day money talks and also a Jonathan has to pay his bills and the salaries of his employees.
Let's see how long he can and will stay with this opinion.

-1 for the title of this post. I do not like that it's a personal insult.
I am genuinely having fun with this game. I cherish the challenge which campaign represents for a fresh playthrough.
This challenge can be circumvented by experience, knowledge, and trade.

I personally love the boss fights and try to do my best to skips/clear mobs as fast as possible to get to the next boss.


I have probably died over 1000 times due to my lack of skill, my desire to learn boss mechanics, and my willingness to test strategies.

The game is too slow. There is one meta skill for maps -lightning spear with screen aoe clear, but if you don't want to play it, then swim underwater with -100 actionspeed and go through the map for half an hour. Its stypid
+ No loot = no character progression = no fun.

all my game friends (5) left since January already and they are not planning to come back.

Jonathan is not the right one for this job.....

And a dev building a game he himself does not want to play sounds ok?

Here's a wild thought. Maybe the game is simply not for you and you should move to something that is more up your alley?
