Steam is going balistic

Loot is absolutely the #1 problem as there is no WHY to play at all. Every single other complaint in the game is lessened by the non-existence of loot and a WHY to play.

Loot can be substituted with GOOD crafting.
Which ISNT in the game.

One of them is a 1k hour player that says the game sucks...

So? If you played a lot you are forbidden from seeing flaws in the game? That makes zero sense.

Outside of the few meta builds I haven't found and couldn't think of one that doesn't require at least one expensive unique to work, or rather, to be fun. I have no interest in playing one of the boring meta builds for weeks just to be able to afford any other build in the game. While it's not 100div, it's certainly true that there is no build variety without having a lot of currency or putting in thousands of hours to have enough knowledge to figure out some super secret build using only shit-tier items.

Whining about mage builds being dead.... no you just dont know how to build anything without broken archmage and grim feast....

Are you seriously claiming that caster and especially elemental skills are in a good spot? Have you even tried them? ED+Contagion worked best for me, and even that did zero damage compared to the other chars I tried. Fire skills felt like a complete joke, Spark was worse than punching (yes, seriously)... just how is that ok? MAYBE you can make it work somehow later on, but it should be playable from the beginning.

If I can just slap a quarterstaff on and do way more damage with basic attacks something is wrong.

While the game isn't as terrible as some people make it out to be, it DOES have some major problems right now. It just makes no sense to defend it.

It is if you play the game still as a full time job (as they had over 80 hours in the last two weeks), but apparently leave a negative review and hate it so much.

Nothing requires 100 divines in this game to complete any content. At that level of currency, you are min/maxing a build.

You dont need to play a "boring meta build"

Thousands of hours is not something I have even achieved in POE2, much less.... anyone I can think of. I dont know if the game is out long enough, and people are unhealthy to that extent.

Yet I am doing fine, twice now, as I did in .1 but now in .2, with off meta.

Yes actually, I think all the spark/archmage absolute cry fest babies have 0 clue how to build anything. And so casters apparently suck to them.

Tells me you dont know how to build something. And rather than try or investigate this claim yourself, you just say something false about it.


Fire skills are all amazing (minus incinerate, as it requires you to just really only use that skill and stand in one place too much)

Flame wall
Fussilade
Solar orb
Flameblast
Firestorm
Fireball*

All amazing skills and do good damage.

Early on though? Pffft are you kidding me? Run through a zone, fire wall afk, Ember Fusilade bosses.

Once you get solar orb IN ACT 1 EVEN. Its over, the campaign is straight afk. Firestorm and flameblast is just insult to injury on how easy it is after that.

*if your computer can handle a massive proj build

PoE 2 Bad Baseg

Absolutely deserved reviews, good. Let's just hope they realize the "vision" was a mistake before this game loses yet more returning players. Or that won't happen and the steamcharts graph will just continue on that downward trend.

Because I can tell you right now not everyone will be back in 0.3 for maybe a new class, some campaign acts, ToTA ascendancy trial(LMAO) and some new weapon types.

Based on reviews. Based on player count dropping 100,000 players on steam over 2 weeks. Where's your proof there is no problem?

The context is your opinion and nothing else. It holds as much value as the critiques you subjectively dismiss.

Doesnt matter what you say or whether or not you think people are wrong. Substantial amount of people aren't a fan of the game.
