LA Ranger, level 17. Every single white mod is LA, Rod, Salvo, dodge, dodge, back, back, dodge, dodge, LA, LA, Rod, dodge, LA, dead finally. Times four for yellow mobs. Bosses are times 50 assuming I dont run out of health/mana pots first.

Couple things:
* Low levels should be fun and exciting, not a SLOG
* I get the combo combat, its fun for the first 15 minutes... not ALLLLLLLL THE TIME
*GGG seems to have forgotten how to make the game fun and engaging

I love POE1 and am a big fan of GGG. This is the second patch now where the basics of even a decent game are missing. I'm sure the endgame has lots of cool stuff.. I wont know.. I cant do this anymore. This game is just a boring slofg



If you're LA Ranger (assuming the goal is LA Deadeye), then this sounds like a gear or gems issue. LA Deadeye makes up 80% of the top 1000 by level and by DPS. I would suggest trying to get some gear upgrades. Run the last campaign zone a few times and start with a better bow and phys dam rings if possible. Then go from there.

You can see streamers clearing campaign as LA Deadeye with few problems. There is no streamer client, they just know to constantly upgrade gear.
uninstalled
ggg needs to nerf the monsters hp in story mode by 50% atm only the most meta build isnt a super slog. its not fun. the game should get hnarder as you get to uber bosses not before
I don't really have feedback that can fix the game. I can only say that poe2 is unfortunately slow, and it's because damage doesn't come quickly enough -- or bosses have been given too much hp. it's kind of astonishing that this is the case 8 months into early access. I really have no desire to play through poe2 repeatedly when it's not fun and it's basically the same issue every build. the only difference is that long range has more ability to survive these really slow battles. but then you run out of potions anyway, because the purposely give you 1 of each potion. and although it's technically "better" that they give you less to worry about with potions, they also purposely make bosses have 2x as much hp as poe1.

so you're dealing with bosses that have more health -- or you're forced to deal low damage. you have less potions to play with. and the game doesn't really encourage you to keep trying. it's basically a punishing, unfun mess. and I don't know how long GGG has to figure this out, before people uninstall and stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. I know I don't want 100gb of my drive taken up for a game that leaves me feeling like I've wasted my time.
GGG uses enemies like it's Dynasty warriors but makes the player act like it's Devil May Cry.
PoE1 1-Button-Gameplay is boring af.

PoE2 is way better.
AGREED WITH POSTER! Holy damn this game is sloooooooooooooow and boooooooooooring! I can NOT believe yall are the SAME people that made poe1... MAKES ZERO SENSE!

Please give EVERY TOON IN THE GAME 50% INCREASED ATTTACK AND CAST SPEED AND THEIR BASE MOVEMENT SPEED SHOULD BE SPRINT! (yes I said 50; not 20 not 30 freaking 50 AT LEAST!.. still feels slow? Make it 100%)

Picking a skill gem is like picking what torture you enjoy... How is this even possible? Give gems WAY more projectiles from the start; take away all the OMEGA ANNOYING DOWNSIDES of support gems... like wtf????? Poe1 gems when I read those I wanna use them cuz they seem cool... poe2 gems im just reading those going... WTF are dumbass needless limitation?!??!?!

MAKE THE GAME FUN!-> limitations on gems DO NOT = FUN. Limitations on speed DO NOT = FUN.
How yall seem to understand this concept in poe1 but not in poe2... I do not understand.


For now I am DONE with poe2 until I hear this stuff or something comparable is in the game!
If this never happens I am PERMA DONE with PoE2! Other then the graphics this game nothing but a GIANT step backwards to PoE1

Yeah, game is still boring af compared to PoE1

Disagreed, POE1 barely qualifies as a video game and is incredibly boring. I might as well go to a casino and play the slots, it has just as engaging "Game play" as POE1.

the sorceress infusion stuff seemed exciting, you would think you can make anything work with weapon switch and the tri-ele stuff. but nope. it's still better to just go contagion for clear act 1-2 and it's still better to just use the skills that were already good and specialize in one element. by a lot. it is just nicer for more builds to be able to use frost orb, and now you can shock stuff I guess.

ultimately the cool ideas locked behind infusions are mostly locked behind bad mechanics. "infusion reappear 3 seconds after being taken, from the same spot" what an ascendancy node. only good in arena fights and if you don't already sustain. "do x amount of damage to drop an infusion on an enemy you then need to pick up" or "wait for orb to expire" are just boring and unsatisfying ways to generate infusions. the only fun way is passive through the spirit reservation but the chance to spawn infusions is so disturbingly low that it does not enable anything on it's own.

flameblast getting a cooldown because of solar orb overlaps makes it unusable without them and really weird to build with especially because solar orb is only on staffs

My feedback on infusions and casters in general:
