I wonder when Jonathan will finally understand that no one wants an ARPG like Elden Ring, it simply doesn't work in this genre, and that is it.

I know some people, aka hardcore casuals, wanted to enjoy the campaign for 500 hours, but the idea was tested already, and it failed miserably. Why are we doing it again exactly?

So many Q&A and feedback, and Jonathan is sticking to his vision like he never understood why he was even able to make Poe2.

Well, I can't wait for his feedback.

I want it, and a ton of people do and deserve it.
Gambling addicts have POE1/D3/D4/LE, people who want an actual video game deserve to have one, too.

However, POE2 is now far too easy and a D4 clone.

So you know how many of those people are weekenders?

Exact numbers? Of course not. But the words "vast majority" come to mind. We'll know day after tomorrow, won't we? =^[.]^=

So these numbers literally have no merit.

Don't put words in my mouth. ='[.]'=

You guys think that full release is coming soon and they will fix it in few patches. Jokes on you if you expect anything soon, if the full release is in 2026 im gonna be shocked, when they announced PoE2 everyone was expecting it to release 2021, i was joking about 2025 and missed by month.

There have been three iterations of PoE Deuce in nine months. If 1.0 is full release, at three months per remaining iteration, the current rate, full release will take another 21 months. ='[.]'=

They haven’t yet tuned the skills or monster health appropriately during early acts (mostly act 2 and some of act 3). I’m sure in time this will be resolved.

Sorry my man, but this sounds like total BS. This patch they changed EVERYTHING in the game but the couldn't finetune first 3 Acts if needed? LOL
Do you believe this yourself, of course they could have changed it if they (=Jonathan) wanted.

Jonathan isn't the balance guy... And, if you knew anything about game design and balancing you wouldn't make such stupid comments.

Never said he was, but he's the main boss over this project so he must greenlit it first to even happen...

I guess they have to choose a type of player to appeal to. Some want tom play the game hard and minmaxing, and others want a more laid back experience. They have chosen to go for the former and apparently poe1 to suit the latter.

Absolutely awful take [Removed by Support]

I rolled a hollow palm monk as my first, didn't check any guides or anything before, just randomly went through the skill tree as i got points, extremely casual gamer nowadays, picked some skills on random that looked fun, have been pretty unlucky with drops (running gear levels 6-16 on my level 30+).
I pretty much one shot white mobs (and explode everything around them), yellow mobs die within like 5-10 seconds, bosses in like a minute or two.

Maybe things change later in the game but currently it really doesn't feel like a slog, I am having a blast and really enjoying this patch so far!

Then you can play No Rest For The Wicked.

The problem is not soulslike experience.

Problem is system in place and mob density, player power compared to mob power and the end game do not lend themselves to soulslike experience.

They made you slow, added dodge roll, made fights a struggle like in any soulslike, but they made mobs fast and hard hitting like in POE 1
