I understand this game is a step in a different direction from POE1 and it's supposed to be slower paced and more challenging but im finding it difficult for the wrong reasons.
The game seems to require precision inputs to avoid abilities, especially in boss fights, but there is nothing precise about the level of control you have over your character. This is coming from someone who is playing mouse and kb (not wasd) which should be the most precise possible method of input. The game feels extremely janky and I do not feel in control of my character in between the long animations and forced movement during abilities. Rolling feels slow and just bad in general. It becomes less of a reactive counter and I find myself spamming it in most situations. Because of this boss fights, where precise movement is most required, is often reduced to me standing in one spot tanking as much damage with my pots whilst outputting damage in order to get a heavy stun and repeat. If i run around the arena trying to interact with the mechanics, I just take so much damage anyway, and im not doing damage to the boss, eventually running out of pots and failing.
Also, I cant speak for other classes but warriors abilities are frankly awful. They are not fun to play with. Long animations with little payoff all whilst getting obliterated with fast attacks from random white mobs. It simply doesnt feel good to play. It's not fun. It's also not difficult. It's tedious and boring. On bosses im swapping my strongest support gems to my auto attack because for some reason GGG has made your auto attack your highest DPS ability without locking you into garbage animations.
Last gripe, THE LOOT? there isn't any. There's none. No loot anywhere. Does GGG want me to repeat campaign bosses/sections to farm orbs shards? I can't believe they expect that? Who wants to replay campaign sections in an ARPG. I'm finding myself having to do that. Currently resistances are so hard to come by. Im rocking 0% lighting res and if I stumble accross heavy lightning damage i get cooked. This game in its current state is simply not rewarding. This is an ARPG for christ sake????
IDK trying to have fun but it's such a slog I had to turn it off.
This. The intertia thing, the animations, all of it feels janky.

Diablo died when Activison bought Blizzard. PoE died when Tencent bought GGG. Only hope is Last Epoch and Titan Quest 2.

+1 to the op, im this close <-> to ragequit, im not good either but i was playing poe1 and having fun, and in poe2 gurlllll... wtf is going on, why everything is a sponge and i need to kite 45 minutes a pack of normal mobs... i think the biggest issue is drops/items.. im lvl 10 and most of my items are white i just have a blue weapon and a blue belt, i dont have money to gamble, i dont have money to buy gear and most important I DONT HAVE GEAR DROP... so yeah ofc everything is going to be hard AF. Give us more loot or more money to gamble right now this is just for hardcore souls players.. and the casuals we all fall down and ragequit.

No clue how you figure MnK is gonna be more precise than WASD. People need to try WASD before talking about boss fights. I think that MnK could probably get more love, but as someone who has played ARPGs since D2 with the MnK style, I started with WASD and didn't look back. It just makes more sense for this game, and I honestly don't see the huge issue with that.
Disconnect your mouse and set your cursor up to move with WASD.
Tell me how precise that is.
A mouse is literally a precision instrument.

Yeah this game is a bit brutal. The checkpoints are there thankfully. But these boss fights are not fun. I've played a lot of souls games so I'm no stranger to difficulty and I'm ok with a game being hard but these bosses being as early in the game as they are honestly feel a bit unfair for an arpg style of game.

People keep bringing up Tencent. You guys realize Tencent have been majority owners for half a decade right? Since then PoE1 has continued to get better, and nothing about the monetization has changed at all. If anything, Tencent would want to acquiesce to all the whining demands for the game to be more mindless slop like D4, because that would sell better. Thankfully, Tencent lets GGG do their own thing, and GGG are giving the dying games industry the defib it has badly needed.

Being condescending doesn't make your opinion more valid than mine.
