I mean it’s still early access and every patch is an improvement.

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.

every patch is an improvement? tell that to the 0.2.0 patch .. and its been like 2 or 3 weeks and we still waiting for some kind of fix for the loot drops and other things .. i think adjust the loot drops and reduce exp loss on death and increease experience gain after 92 for now while you fix the other issues .. at least give us something to balance out the junk we have had to go through so far. I have never wanted to play a game and dredd playing that game at the same time. I want to play .. but i also want to delete this trash and go play D4 or some other trashy game

guess i will just try out poe1 at this point.

looks way more fun and after reading all this its shitty graphics but fun.

Man you have no idea, poe 1 is a master piece its the defination of fun im never bored of poe 1. I play it 11 years and i only pray to play it for another 50 years. Best game ever made ! Hopefully some day poe 1 will get visual update from poe 2

As we can see, "the vision" is killing this game. Not surprising.

+1 million to the OP, this game is doomed and it won't even be out of early access until like 3 years minimum lmao


PoE 2 Bad
3.26 when?

This patch is the worst ARPG i have ever played in my life. I have been playing since diablo 1. 600+ hours on POE2 so far, really want to like it, but this patch is just dog shit. No fun, no loot, terrible balancing.

Only reason im still playing is i bought all the supporter packs and feel heavily invested at this point. Pretty much forcing myself to have "fun".

Jonathan and the team needs to give their head a shake big time.

2 questions for you..

1: is it just this patch? because 0.1 was pretty awful in every way.. 0.2 just doubled down on what was bad with the game.. even if you take out 0.2 form the picture outside of graphic theres not a single possitive word to say about the game. . campain was fun 1 time i never want to do it again..


2: is it really even an ARPG game at this point? it doesnt even seem an ARPG to me. . it looks like a single player story heavy game that you run once and never again just that there are more people around sharing your pain

for me its not about this patch. the game design is SO BAD.

hope that they reconsider the approach

ya same here 0.1 was bad and everyone said it was bad then 0.2 is worse then people focus on the 0.2 instead of focus on the game its self as a game design vision and direction and understand that its not 0.2 being bad but the game as a whole being bad

Agree. And the post not only about 0.2. The full Poe 2 direction is wrong.

The game as a whole is NOT bad, the combat and the general polish is INCREDIBLE.

It's core design principles suffocating the fun.

These guys keep trying to come up with actiony mechanics that require very predictable difficulty and THAT is the problem.

Maybe they just need to have areas where items simply don't work at all, and THEN they can indulge in these hyper challenging mechanics like the Trials where they need to be able to predict player power.

As it stands, these designers are in thier head too much, it feels like they believe in their vision far too much which isnt realized, and the INCREDIBLE game that is staring them right in the face is being decimated by vague notions of some game they WANT to make, but only exists in their head.

It's frustrating beyond measure, because the game only needs some fun mods and a reduction of negative tradeoffs and this game would be INCREDIBLE.

But its in the hands of designers who prefer to punish the player than reward them.
