Difficulty

Game seems way over tuned, I'm not sure how any new players are actually enjoying this. I've been playing since 2013 and have never had the campaign be this hard. It's to the point where I'm not having any fun at all progressing.

-Playing as monk

Same... I have 4500 hours in PoE1.
I don't think PoE2 is for me.
Very frustrating.

My Wife, who hasn't played PoE before, wanted to join with me.
She quit after 1 hour, said she would never return.
Just tuned for sweaty twitch streamers, and not normal folks.

I'll keep trying, but not really having any fun right now.

Also, crashed multiple times. Was on a boss fight in the "red" zone, don't remember boss name and don't care now, and crashed on my 5th or 6th attempt of him.

Yeah, this isn't fun.
I've been playing POE 1 for about 8 years. I started with a monk in POE 2. After 5 hours, I quit the game and I'm unlikely to play any more. It's a very beautiful game, but the difficulty is hellish and the game is not fun.
Was this game created only to amuse the 1%. Jeepers what a harsh start. Playing monk is so slow. Moving around is so slow- no movement skill. Potion system is too harsh on newbies and casuals. Much more of a limited choice progression wise. Entirely dependent on gear which is severely lacking. Overall a terrible feel two hours in.
yes map take such long time to clear , only to get to a super difficult boss that take hours of try hard to kill , so much time needed for such low reward ,
ok so i'm not sure how you guys are struggeling THIS much, but maybe try to not stand in stuff? I guess i'm having an easier time since i'm playing merc then you guys do but you have to bob and weave, enter combat then dodge when enemies are trying to attack you? from my experience, this reads as in "i want to stand in enemy attacks and never try to dodge at all"?
guys, its day 1 of the beta test, shall we not with the 'im never coming back this game isnt for me' just yet? shall we actually give them some feedback that some things are a bit too hard, tell them exactly what mobs and bosses are too hard and then let them do something about it?

as if every poe1 league wasnt overtuned as hell for the first few days?



we got 6 months of the game being tested and tuned by a million of us, lots of changes will be made. we will get there, the games about 4 hours old.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

Play a warrior and you'll see. It's awful.
It takes some getting used to
But it gets easier once you progress your character
Boss fights are a challenge though, but I kind of like it (well sort of hate it sometimes, but feels nice when you overcome the challenge)
