Listening to loud Min/Max gamers has made end game worse.
|
I have 800 hours in POE2, I'm not a casual gamer and I'm also not a min/max "google the best and fastest way to do everything in a video game" type player. Towers were fine. Finding overlapping towers was a cool benefit of rng. I never once thought "wow, now I HAVE to find overlapping towers otherwise my precious time is being wasted".
Well now thanks to loud content creators and their followers who just mimic their streamers gameplay. We all get zero chance to overlap map mods. We are all limited to the 3 tablets per map, and frankly I find it a bit boring now. Awesome... Last bumped on Oct 12, 2025, 5:16:32 PM

" +1 agree 100%, 1500 hours since launch mainly due to being off work from a car accident, Not once did I rush map nodes use T1 waystones to rush pat garbage nodes just to find a 3 tower setup, Legit 1% of player base was doing that and only saw it worthwhile to run 3 tower setups fuck 1 tower setup was already solid 2 was golden 3 was perfect, all of this comes down to player choice, 1% of community is getting more loot, not abusing mechanics, just taking advantage of them, other 99% isn't, they could, just choose not to as its really not that fun, shutting your brain off to rush through t1 maps just to get to a decent setup then use all your t15/t16 maps etc get good loot then move on, I would just run every map as a t15, I'd dedicate parts of atlas tree to say expedition farming, other parts for breach, all depending on what towers/nodes I had around, Sadly chances are the reason GGG implemented this change is because they didn't even want towers to have that possibility in the first place, they always saw it as too op, and finally found the perfect time to patch in that change... why midway through the season??? idk and its really aggravating, gonna make big sweeping changes to endgame? Ok dont do it untill next season please... Big changes are apperently coming to endgame in season 4, I think GGG wanted to get players use to the changes that will be coming to endgame, hopefully forced bosses get removed, I like bosses, I like dark souls, Bossing in this game is just a waste of time, 50% can be insta killed insta melted, other 50% have invulnerability phases or go invulnerable at end before doing some 1 shot attacks you have to dodge, I wouldn't have an issue if I knew wtf the boss was going to do, theres not enough clear indicators, ground should light up where that boss is going to slam, boss switching phases? make a really loud sound queue and possibly a simple appear above bosses head, make it clear to the player, and the size of the boss arenas??? are we ants???? I find too many guessing games with what im suppost to do during that specific attack |

Uhh....
The Min/Maxers were the ones overlapping towers though. They didnt ask for this unfortunately, your blaming the wrong people here. Mash the clean

They were quite literally complaining that the end game sucked because they had to constantly move through the atlus looking for 3 towers instead of utilizing towers as intended. They "didn't want to waste their time" running maps that were only boosted by 1 or 2 towers. I'm blaming the exact correct people and it doesn't change the fact that the game is more boring because of it.

" ah. so not actual feedback, just someone who is mad at content creators for some reason. plenty of people HATED towers, it wasnt some youtuber conspiracy. your logic makes zero sense. - you never thought 'wow i need to find triples' yet you are mad they are gone? - you are mad at the 'min/max' players yet these changes directly nerfed THEIR mapping strategy, not yours. ??? think before you post. this thread clearly has nothing to do with tower changes and everything to do with your weird aversion to people who make videos on the internet.

They always try struggle with overrated broken abuse builds, but thoose ways are sucks. They made overbuffedd map bosses and so? Abused builds killed thoose bosses yesterday, kill thoose bosses today, and will kill thoose bosses tommorow. But common players now should eat this shit =\
