playing a Diablo-style game without letting players feel powerful is bullshit. the game can be challenging, but don’t nerf the player’s abilities

Pretty much this. I too am tired of GGG's mindset of no rewards and punishing / negative mods on everything everywhere everytime you turn around. And any rewards / items they do create that have any kind of coolness to them (not sure any exist in POE2 atm), always end up gated behind Bot / RMT rates. Literally impossible for MOST people to personally find. It always come back to the fuckin trade.

I'm actually playing D4 atm, and im noticing, for as much heat as D4 has taken (even from me), most of it was previous to POE2's release.

Now, i cant help but feel as if, POE2 is in no way better then D4.

D4 visual effects > POE2 visual effects. And by this, i do not mean the general graphics, thats just a subjective taste thing, But there is no denying that when i am playing D4, at no point do i feel like i cant see anything.

POE2 on the other hand, it seems i rarely can tell whats goin on in combat. Just too bloated full of particle systems and shit that mashes everything into a non-visible state.

D4 engine performance > POE2 engine performance. I won't even elaborate here. I am well aware many will say "plays fine for me". Thats neither here nor there. The sheer amount of people complaining about many performance issues to crashes bugs etc... POE2 is definitely in worse shape.

D4 End game == POE2 end game. Lets get real here. Both games just shuffle you over to some 'same ole' maps, and run ya through them over n over, until you get the right amount of whatever you need to do the gated content map... It's really not that different at all.

D4 Skills / Builds == POE2 skills / builds. Sure POE2 may have more, but again, if we're real, most of them are 100% useless. In campaign even. This is where i almost lean to D4 being a little more divrese in campaign, as you can use whatever the fuck you want and it will work.

Uniques... lol. Lets face it, as much as blizz sucks these days, well ... POE2 has brought an all time new low to 'uniques'.

Anyways, it is what it is. Personally, i stil like GGG more then modern blizz. I lost respect for that company long ago, but, at this rate, im not so sure anymore...

You're comparing a game which was fully released 2 years ago, to an EA game. You realize that, right?

People are just impatient, entitled, and selfish nowadays is all it boils down to. Game improves with each patch and will continue to do so, the only issues going on here are people are programmed to for instant gratification and the constant delusion that they are always the most important person in the room.


They told you it would be about a year before the full core game is even implemented, stop losing your mind over every tiny thing when they are constantly listening to feedback, and making pretty substantial changes with just in-league patches. Things will be fine, the sky isn't falling, POE1 new league will be great, POE2 will continue to grow and expand and will become even better with each passing month.

That. I trully think some people do not understand what ''early access'' means. Somebody please explain to them that they didnt pay for a game, they paid to become a test subject for a game under development.

That's why we as a test subject free to leave any feedback regarding this game, even negative because it's helping developers to find and solve problems in the game. It's a game created not for developers playing it, it's game for actual players. Developers couldn't generate income by themselves

Developers which weren't change anything regarding negative feedback - will be drown with negative review and leaving players. Also, developers may come to consensus with some players that don't like one stuff and players that don't like other stuff

Why you, as a player are trying to shut people feedback? Are you want to GGG fail with POE2? I won't

Don't you know that simple thing? No matter is it EA or not - people are free to leave their personal feedback and developers are free to hear it. As we saw the current retention - not much players are enjoying the game.

Why as a player you should care about retention? Well, because if you are casual player or playing trade league - leaving players mean that you couldn't buy anything for your build or you couldn't copy someone build because player that could create something for you is leaved the game. Not all the players are enjoying sitting for 20h in POB and testing different setups/characters.
