Looking for fair and honest oppinions on Current state of game
|
The campaign is still a 20+ hour suffocating slogfest.
Each time you want a new character to try a new build, you have to do this torture again. If you want to play poe2 on league start - you're basically throwing away your weekends. Sprint is just a bandaid. Real problem is GGG gaslighting themselves to make 60h campaign that no one asked for. Last edited by simakr#1183 on Aug 31, 2025, 1:00:31 PM

Best version of POE2 so far. Much better combat than other ARPGs. Far too easy, though, but better than the rest of the genre.
The balance is unacceptable and having to wait 4-6 months for them to MAYBE add another playable build is not how an early access should be ran. |

You should have really prefaced your question that people had to put what they are playing in their response. If they are one of the 41% of the player base on Deadeye, or the 11% on lich then they think the game is fine. Everyone else got major nerfs to where they are not even as good as they were after the first nerfagedon.
The game is bad unless you are meta builds, and even then, it's not that good. OFC they are deadset on Friday launches, ensuring no one is around to make adjustments over a long holiday, beyond bug fixes. |

Probably the worst launch so far, balance wise.
The content that was added is amazing, great and all. No, seriously. The new act is nice, the new league is nice. But the balance is, to quote that one streamer, dogshit. They said they're buffing all classes, but they buffed monsters instead. And it's a slog, it's way too hard and it's grindy af. How the hell are they doing this every single leaguestart is beyond me.

" I'm on Abyss league, 0.3 - the one where you drop stuff in the Well of whatever and where you get to pick random 3 mods. Just broke my leveling weapon from 125-215 dmg to 75-120 via Vaal ... ouch. I think I spend a day but definitely less than 48 hours. |

" And I believe you are wrong with that blanket statement. Lots of PoE1 player enjoy 2 and 3 or even 4 button builds. What they don't like is the way GG has designed PoE2 it is agonizingly slow to do so and the mobs are still PoE1 speeds. And for me the campaign areas are just to boring to grind over and over again for gear. Thankfully I was able to work around the errors with the old trade method and buy a weapon upgrade with my lucky Alch and Exalt drops. |

Spoiler
Game is better than 0.2 but still not POE 1, i didn't even find will to play..act 4 and i'm done.
Besides that GGG has promissed never make a stash tab for league specific content and all our stash tabs from poe 1 working on poe 2, and yet they release socketable and ritual tabs.. Feeling betrayed honestly edit: I was just not feeling like playing, now i'm finishing the campaign and having a great time. Nothing to complain about other than build diversity.

The worst part for me is coming out of story and starting maps.
If not on a meta build and having bad luck the first day will feel absolutely horrible. Also the grind for second character is an absolute no go. Even if you throw some D at the problem and oneshot everything it is still a slog. |

" If you want honest opinions don't come here or reddit. The game is spectacular, however this place is filled with mostly alt/troll accounts and no lifers that make it their sole duty to spew negativity on here all day every day. Take a look at the post history, the lack of POE history on their character page, the usual none or 1 supporter pack....yet they spend 10 hours a day on here posting their cry on every post they can. Play it, learn it. If you do it's easily one of the most enjoyable and rewarding ARPG experiences of all time. Also at the end of the day maybe it's just not for you, in which case that's why every other ARPG out there is exactly the same outside of this one. You got like 5-6 choices between POE1, LE, GD, D4, TL for THAT game experience. |

" People watch streamers, hear you can only play Deadeye, don't learn the game at all, and then come here to be petulant when they don't understand anything. I got a Smith of Kitava halfway through A4 and a Monk to the interludes. You don't need meta anything, you need game system and mechanical knowledge/experience. These people in act 1 that come here to cry almost assuredly don't use the 1-2 exalts they've dropped to upgrade their weapon, which 99.9% of the time is enough to carry you for another 10 levels.
