Does anyone else feel like the game is just designed to make you hate it?

Yeah i really tried to like it but those things are killing it for me:

- Campain is tedious, slow and too repetitive for doing it every league. Create way to skip it for alts.
- Trials are a complete mess. Most people hated these mechanics in poe1, why torture us... Bring back the old lab or better, just let it die.
- This sprint is the worst mechanic I've seen in any recent arpgs. Remove it and make maps smaller or chars way faster.
- You are punished for trying out new builds. Let us buy gems and support gems from vendors and give us the old hideout crafting bench back. Let gems level up with exp. No need for an extra rnd layer...
- Stay real. It should be poe2 and not a wannebe soulslike arpg. Don't forget what fan base made you survive all those years.


Fully agreed with this. Game for now is borring just give this grafic to POE1 and you can close project called POE2.
Game is a joyride, invigorating, rewarding, meaningful, swift, encouraging.

Really like it.
PoE1 nowadays looks more and more like a fan-made fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

I've been playing Path of Exile 1 since the beta and was hoping Path of Exile 2 would be just as good, but I was disappointed. I played a few hours in the new season and stopped because I wasn't enjoying it at all. I went back to Last Epoch and am having a much better time, even though the game looks much worse graphically.

I hope LE gets a graphical update. Thats the one thing holding it back. Its QOL and the way they allow you to make any build work is honestly what ARPGS are.

POE1 has this in spades, POE2 Feels like they want a Restrictive Dark Souls game and that sucks. They Nerf build diversity to push one shot mechanics and NErf defense also. It feels terrible.

Playing Merc feels great but Playing any melee is just pain

Agreed. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills every time I look at these forums, feels like these people are playing a different game than I am.

It has balance issues for sure, and is clearly incomplete. But it's still so well made, man. It's such a blast to play.

My theory is that most of the people who hate it do so because they're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. They're trying to play the game as if it's something it isn't, and when that doesn't work they think it's the game's fault.

It's not a real game. It is a parasite masquerading under the legacy of the best ARPGs.

The people who are captured feel like they are participating in the D1/D2/PoE1 chain of real games. They are playing PoE2 on console and they have no context.

This is mtx sales software wearing the corpse of the game we all loved.

GG GGG GGGG
Yeah great scam they have going. Game has so little content you have to play the campaign every time. Then they make grey mobs take several hits and it gets worse from there. All they have to do is convince their players that this kind of puke slow gameplay is fun and if you're dying too much you just have to "git good". Souls-like arpg my ***
