Early Access Feedback - Goodbye Jonathan - Forum

It's really the first time I tried POE1 after playing 300H POE2. Apart from the outdated graphics and operating system of 1 which made me feel uncomfortable, it completely outperformed POE2 in all other aspects. I simply can't figure out why there are so many fun systems in 1 that are not inherited in 2. It's not that 2 is completely different. It shouldn't have better game graphics or better optimization. More diverse and interesting BD, and (I think the most meaningful change is WSAD), the current poe2 is rather boring. After I played Longmao in this version, when I tried to play other weapons, I found that they were completely unplayable. With the same cost, I could easily clear various difficulties with my Longmao, but what about other weapons? There are so many skills, but they are all rubbish. And this shitty stun system. It's already hard for everyone to survive. You still do this. I really have nothing to say. I think it's reasonable for the game to be a bit harder and more challenging, but you directly turn the player's character into a cripper. Is that really something a human could think of? Please save your game well. It was so much fun at 0.1. I enjoyed summoning, bows and arrows, and lightning freezing linkage. But at 0.2, everything became useless. What on earth are you doing? The game is not optimized either. It's an EA game and an EA online game, but you don't want to update it diligently. A bunch of your robots are washing the floor for you. Then how do normal players who like this game play it?	Posted by ILOVE667788#8804 on May 16, 2025, 6:07:14 AM Quote this Post

To just give up on the game while it’s still being developed is overly dramatic, but the reality is I think you’re saying you’re quitting to bolster your opinion into having more credibility. If you delete the crying parts of your post it would be an actual feedback post to try and better the game. Even if there are players like you who haven't really played the game properly and are trying to excuse the official here, the game will only get worse and worse	Posted by ILOVE667788#8804 on May 16, 2025, 6:08:39 AM Quote this Post

I have almost 1100 hours in POE 2 for 0.1 and only 85 hours in for 0.2 I'm done with POE 2 until the next big patch. But even then, I doubt I'll play again unless something dramatic is done in the vision of the game. Right now, they have completely ruined the loot system that was absolutely epic from pinnacles bosses. If they really go in this direction further I don't think I'll ever be able to play this game gain in the future. But that's fine because I had my fun and was lucky to enjoy 0.1 and I feel overall that I got a lot of fun for only 30 USD. It's so sad though that the game is getting completely hijacked by some weird ideology, I have no idea why they're doing that but personally, this is making the game much much worse. When I replay a game, in this case a new league in POE 2, I plan for what I desire later. The problem here is that there are no longer any great desirable in this game. Everything got ruined. Balancing in 0.1 was a real issue, we were too strong. In 0.2 we are weaker and I'm fine with that, but the items are completely ruined. The fun of an ARPG is the itemization and progression. You want to have powerful items at the end of a long grind. There is no grind in here, what are we even grinding for? Everything is absolute trash with ridiculous drawbacks. In fact, even without the specific drawbacks listed on the unique items, a lot of them, if not most, would still be hot trash. The game is getting bloated with multiple trash uniques and nothing pops out anymore... I've stopped playing 3 days ago, and was logging in 30-40 minutes but then logged out because I didn't see the point or any enjoyment of the game. There's nothing to look for and the mapping system is absolutely tedious with tower juicing. I absolutely hate that system. In 0.1 at least I could grind pinnacle area for experience and loot, but hey, they removed BOTH. This game is dead to me until something serious is done about it. This went from one of the best game of all time in an early access state, to a pure beta/alpha ruined version with 0.2 Yes, version 0.1 was actually quite fun. I originally thought that version 0.2 could add new character BD with a simple weakening, making it more diverse. However, it turned out to be a mess	Posted by ILOVE667788#8804 on May 16, 2025, 6:10:09 AM Quote this Post
