I completely disagree. I’m flying through the campaign, and honestly, I wish there were an extra difficulty level because it feels too easy now. I didn’t feel much adrenaline during the new boss encounters. I’m halfway through Act 4, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. Playing shadow witch build.
Sure you are. Streamers have been playing through the game literally non stop since Friday for 20 to 30+ hours, afaik all without even getting close to reaching endgame and many re-rolling out of frustration but you in particular are "flying through". I guess you have a different definition of "flying through" a game than I do.
He is probably playing witch minions which does indeed destroy thr campaign with no effort. Sorcerer is slightly worse but ok. Lightning arrow about the same as sorcerer.
Everything else is a slog and a half.
I did not use minions since I do not enjoy minions. I used a curse / shadow build.
I love the game. Perhaps it’s more a matter of balancing different characters and builds. I hope and assume most people do not actually want a one button kills it all game. I also understand that hitting a white mob 8+ times could be considered slow.

I've said since launch, having your campaign be a souls-inspired ball buster is fun to play... a single time. 99% of players don't want to have to do it over and over and over again.
300k players disagree with that statement.
Let's see how many of those 300k players are still playing after the free weekend ends. Tuesday is coming. ='[.]'=
Strange, 270k peak after the weekend. Seems like you're talked way over your head.

Exactly.. this is not a fun game. It's frustrating and boring. Players like to blast.
Addicted gamblers like to blast, gamers like game play in their video games.
This is not a slog, this feels like something that resembles a video game, unlike POE1/LE/D3/D4.
The people who think this is a slog are not the target audience, and that's fine. They have POE1/LE/D3/D4.
I wish these people would just go play PoE 1 instead of ragebaiting here all day.

The free weekend peaked at, what? 350K? Currently down from those numbers by about 160K, which seems about right for free players not buying in. And those numbers will continue to trend downward over time, just like they did after 0.2.0, and probably faster. By the time 0.4.0 comes out, they will likely be even worse than they were before the current iteration.

You do realize that is exactly how ALL seasonal games work... right?
Numbers are highest at league start, and go lower the long the league lasts until there's a new release. Most experienced players only make it around a month, having achieved all they wanted to do (new content, uber boss kills, whatever) and move on to another game until the next league start.

Accurate critique , just here to agree with the OP the game is trash right now , and i dont think they will fix it because Jonathan thinks this is cool or whatever because he apparently hates PoE1 but loves dark souls and thinks dodge roll 500 times per fight is "engaging" gameplay. Fine remove my comment but that wont change that a reckoning is coming for ggg over this iteration of PoE.

This has to be a troll thread, if you are slogging with lightning arrow setup, you are doing something very wrong. Bosses explode in seconds, the rest of the content is cakewalk with LA.
