What's the point of the early game being such a slog?
" My coworker who quit during 0.1 mainly due to not having time. returned this league and logged off after 20minutes of gameplay as he played warrior LMFAO. I know exactly how he feels tho as i also started warrior. im going to quit this league until things get patched and i'll just stay with standard league for now. |

Im done with the league..
I had more fun doing NO SKILLS grim dawn self challenge, than this FAKE trade league where its forced SSF on me because trading is disabled and any non-insta buy never responds. On top of it, zero damage skills are quite bad. You want to try respect perhaps and try something else? NO GOLD. You want to overlevel a bit? CANT, areas have levels and you will be hard capped by xp gains. You want to farm slightly lower area hoping to get some drops? lol, its not even worth commentating on this. I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.

Also started monk and wanted to see if they fixed some of the skill balance. So i figured I'd try Killing palm with falling thunder combo. Nope such a scuffed playstyle that doesn't work on bosses that don't spawn adds, and even the bosses that do, also do some mechanic at the same time so you really have to scuff to make it happen and then the result is still underwhelming.
Why even have these stupid skills as lvl 1 skills? Why not make ice strike a level 1 skill instead, along with tempest strike, and wind strike and glacial cascade? At least these skills work. Finaly got to hollow palm and it works, but i still get 2 shot and zerged because evasion does fuck all at this level. Have to dodge roll like a mad man from all the explosions and try find a window to use tempest then roll away again, it's engaging my fingers yes, my sanity no. Why cant they make skills feel good to use? I don't understand, it's not that the game is hard, it's that its so scuffed to play and dodging all the time to find a strike window isn't fun it's tedious after the Clearfell map. |

There is no power fantasy in this game. For whatever reason GGG are terrified to let players feel any power, control or flow in the game. it's all one-shots, on-death cheese, ground effect cheese, everything has to be a hassle to use, everything needs a downside, you can't just enjoy something there has to be a punishment.
There is an epic amazing game here buried under layer after layer of anti-fun, anti-player, punished-for-trying design that adds nothing but frustration demotivation to even keep playing. I think I'll just uninstall and give up on the idea GGG will ever allow players to just have ******* fun. It sucks so bad to see a diamond of a game rolled in the same crap every patch. Console loot filter for POE2 Please!

This!! I don't want to spam one ability because I get swiped at once and 2/3 of my health suddenly disappears. Don't get me started on uniques being able to spam their abilities so fast that all I am doing is dodge roll dodge roll - ability health pot dodge roll dodge roll...
At one point, I blinked and I was dead.. just during normal act 1. I quite literally screamed out loud, "WTF Killed me?!" |
