disagree. the difficulty of campaign makes it infinitely more engaging than poe 1's campaign. friends who bounced off poe 1 and never made it thru campaign are thoroughly enjoying poe 2. theres certainly a large portion of players who are complaining and dont even try to read boss patterns, have superior positioning to avoid getting surrounded, and just generally assuming that poe 2 is the same as poe 1.
i see people complain its too hard when their items are total trash. gear is such an important part of gaining power. that being said, i feel like access to gear upgrade is too scare during campaign. often times it feels like i dont really get upgrades until far too long. the quality of items from the vendor also has way too much variance. ggg, you tried to raise the lowest band of variance of item drops but its still not enough. even with the currency drop buffs, exalting rare gear rarely leads to good outcomes past during and past act 3 and beyond even to maps. |

I don't find football fun.
Too much running. Remove the running, please. Last edited by Fae_Lyth#6750 on Dec 14, 2024, 2:51:25 AM

Forget the game reviews for now, but the D4 Team 3 often expresses goodwill around the campfire, right? Yet, the results...
Adopting a soul-like difficulty is perfectly fine, but when it comes to nerfing builds, forcing economy resets with every seasonal journey, and the excessively punitive measures for character death in the later stages (e.g., -10% penalty, map deletion, removal of uncollected rewards, etc.), these are often used to brainwash players, disguised as “good intentions.” In reality, there are much better ways to handle these issues, but they always seem to intentionally avoid mentioning those solutions. Some of these approaches have already been implemented in other games (LE & GD), yet they are either ignored or treated as if they don't exist, or when positive feedback from players is given, they just chuckle it off and move on. What we can feel right now is that GGG (Grinding Gear Games) has created a ton of fun in their forums, and I think that’s true goodwill. After all, if the game does end up failing, like D4, at least there's still an official forum and a message board to hang out on! XD In addition, having large maps should, in theory, be a positive feature, but the way you've designed it actually makes players feel like it's a penalty. The problem lies in how you made the maps large without truly making the game more enjoyable. In reality, it only serves to delay the efficiency of obtaining final rewards, increases the chances of small mobs blocking the map and wasting players' time, and the soul-like mobs have a higher chance of killing players, leading to more death penalties. Also, the repetitive nature of the same dungeon blocks is so excessive that it quickly becomes tedious... Basically, the benefits and enjoyment of having large maps were never realized; instead, all the negative impacts were forced onto the players. = In my impression, Diablo 2 was a classic, and from the Expansion in June 2001 until the 1.09D patch in July 2003, the game never saw major nerfs to builds, nor did it undergo level and economy resets. For a full two years, the game remained in its peak state, with the fun completely intact. The build diversity (BD) was already flourishing, and there was no need for drastic nerfs or manipulative resets to encourage players to try different characters or builds. Back then, a huge number of players played almost all characters up to near-max level. Although the Paladin and Assassin had fewer popular builds, there were still strong builds available for every class in PvE content! It was because item duplication became rampant that the developers introduced the reset mechanic in 1.10 in August 2003, as a passive attempt to deal with the widespread duplication issue. In reality, this was the most cost-effective solution at the time, as the concept of seasonal journeys didn't even exist. However, that marked the end of Diablo 2's golden era. Every subsequent reset just discouraged more players from staying and encouraged them to move on to other games, like World of Warcraft when it launched. Of course, another big event was the rise of Ragnarok Online, which had its own charm, especially with its popularity among certain demographics. All in all, Diablo 2's legacy could have lasted even longer if they had continued with something like the rumored Blood Knight DLC. But, instead, they just abused resets and ended the game on a sour note. Last edited by OrzOrzOrz#5563 on Dec 14, 2024, 9:51:46 AM

Everything i loved about POE is no longer in POE2, i feel like the hired the wrong people to play test during development, focused too much on new gimmicks and lost what they had in the original game. So disappointed in the game and from what i read nothing is going to change until it nears it's inevitable death throws. And by then it will be far too late.

I’ve finished Acts 1, 2, and 3, with 98% of it solo. The only time I asked for help was because I got bored of repeating the same things over and over. My thought was, 'I really don’t want to go through this again for trash loot.' There’s no worthwhile reward for repeating content, even though I’ve spent time killing end-act bosses repeatedly—what a waste of time.
This is unlike games like Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc., which I’ve played and beaten 100% solo. In those games, when you die, you simply try again—there’s no heavy penalty, and the rewards for succeeding feel meaningful. In Path of Exile 2, however, I’m genuinely afraid of reaching the endgame after hearing so many concerns about it from across the community. Trials, in particular, are horrible and feel like a chore. I hope they address these issues because this potential is being wasted. |

" Why is death in PoE2 more punishing than all the dark souls games, Elden Ring and bloodborne combined? All of the souls series games are challenging, and it's like GGG just said we want to screw over the players in as many ways as possible when they die they need to KNOW IT! |
