Absolutely disapointed -- This game is hard, and not in a fun way.

"
The "dodge or die" mechanic is boring to me.


This. I am very bad at it because I don't care. So, if this is required all along the campaign with all the characters, I am probably already done with this beautiful game.

+1 op, i was so keen and now im just angry, sorry im not as good as you want me to be ggg, maybe 10 years ago but kids and work so guess having a life means i never get to see the story ive always craved.

quit at 12th attempt on geonor, dont have time for this


I hear you man, there should be some way to enjoy this game without having to be a no-life elite gamer. I'm 44, I can't perfect dodge a wolf for 10 minutes straight, I'm gonna fuck up at some point and have to start again! And even if I was skilled enough, there's plenty more entertainment in the world, so I don't see why I would bother!

The game is fun when you play it in a group, since the map doesn't reset if one of the group members dies and gets revived. It is a chore when you die solo, since all mobs respawn and you can walk a mile again while trying to survive getting surrounded by groups of mobs that you cannot roll out of and bully you to death as a ranger.

That is honestly the only gripe I'm having with the game. Respawns and getting bullied into death.
both my kids have walked away from poe 2, they found it to frustrating to play so guessing it is set to stupid hard pity.

I wouldn't say the game is hard, I'd say it's boring.

Tbh adding extra life to mobs and leaving characters with zero dps isn't "that" for my personal taste.

Gonna end the campaign and gtfo. That's too slow for me.

I knew all the streamers hype was BS but wanted to check anyways.


It's both
While I am one of the "complainers" I need to indicate that in early game at least it's not dodge or die for me [invested too much into defense??].

For me it's Avoid damage OR get chunked. The gotcha is that I get chunked more than I chunk the boss as I WILL absolutely get smacked even though I'm trying to avoid damage.

Does that make me bad at this game ... sure. Does this make PoE2 a bad game in isolation -- probably not.
+1 to OP too

It's way to hard for some skills.... for example witch start is a pain.
But of course that would be easy to fix with rebalancing.

What I really hate is that you have start messesd up fights from begin.
It's so frustrating.

I played 15 years poe1 mostky in ssf and I'm 50 years old. I had fun with T16 content and relaxed builds.
I had fun with the campain.

The gameplay from poe2 feels for me just not good. I dont want to dodge 50%
of the time. Theres the hack and slay feeling?

Gameplay for me is 3/10 ... it feels frustrating and not rewarding

It is not fun for you, but it is for me, so ?
I just hope they make a : my lil poney difficulty mode and let those who enjoy playing the game as they made it.
Nowadays ppl want to be able to steamroll games while watching twitch.
I don’t.
I wanna learn and get better at the game. Look at what poe1 became, planning simulator with two buttons, one to move , one to delete the entire screen.
Don’t destroy his game please
My lil poney difficulty mode with a rainbow and a the serious mode you wanted to make before the crybabies come.
Game is out till few hours, most of ppl have no clue how to play and build correctly still they cry, what the actual ***k.


There's no e in pony, maybe you should re-invest the time you spent practicing dodge rolls on some basic English lessons.
Playing with monk blows ass.

Yeah pretty dissapointed. Regret buying a supporter pack at this stage. I get they are trying to slow it down but the difficulty is just insane. I can't complete a boss fight, I can't get any loot to drop, and I can't level up. Agree completely with OP.


Did you buy on Steam? They should hopefully refund. I've asked for my money back, personally - that's the only way they'll listen to feedback.
