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

it is just plain pointless to write about this game at this time

you are 5 hours in. youre probably lvl 15-20. you have done nothing. you have put no time into the game. your opinion right now doesn't matter about anything.

enjoy the brief moments of the game where nothing is figured out yet and its still challenging.

instead you complain [Removed by Support].

You do realize that if a player is frustrated "5 hours in" that player will leave the game.... You "Mr. Elite" need players to play the game or there will be no game.

As this game sits now, only the "elite" will stay playing it... I think you know what happens to a FTP launch when that happens.

Yep.

The game isn't "hard" - it's just unfair and relies on 1 shot mechanics - just like PoE1.

I'm enjoying the game so far. I like bosses and new approach to combat. Defeated Act 1 boss on my 4th attempt, a little bit of learning curve. The fight was well designed and fun in my opinion. Playing Act 2 now.

are u high? going thru campaign should be positive experience and not rage quitting because some fire bug with 1 fire ball take 85% of your HP... loot is horrid, casting skills is so clunky, basically it come down to smashing space button for dodge roll so enemies can't hit you, when you die, all the mobs on maps spawns back, skill gem thing is awful, imagine finally coming to level 20 and u want to use good skill for clearing and you cant because u didnt get uncut gem of that level... i hope they lose a lot of people because of this, cause this is not anything that Johnathan promise on revealing the game... instead he talked about 400 types of monsters and there's a lot of end game content and yet there are people who cant kill act 1 because it's imba af... so yeah, i hope all the people will bitch about every single thing that's not good until they nefr/change/whatever

Just adding my few cents to this whole thing. I am in Act 3 now on a Sorc:

- The difficulty is tedious and not fun. An example: My character is strong enough to clear the end of act 2 trash with relative ease and managed to do the boss after a few attempts (the boss is overtuned but the mechanics are fine), but as soon as i entered act 3, i got absolutely murdered in the jungle. When i try to adress the dificulty it seems impossible, since there is hardly any decent gear available and the only choice i am left with is kiting slowly and taking what feels like hours for a zone. This is neither engaging nor high skilled or fun.

- Melee feels like an atrocity (at least in the early levels). You are slow, have zero damage, zero clear and you are in range to be hit by everything, often being shotgunned

- Give me a real movement skill and take back the dodge-roll. I know this is personal taste, but it feels absolut ass compared to having a frostblink or a flamedash.

- This is not much different from PoE1 so it is a minor complaint, but the ability to scale skills with supports feels rather limited in the first 2 acts and spells feel rather underwhelming as a whole, because of the low damage / high mob hp

I really want this game to be good. I want to enjoy this and there are good things. It looks lovely, i think the actual button pressing can be fun, the ´mechanics of bosses are often fine.

Crossing my fingers and hoping that they will make adjustments.

1. Level design is great.
2. Music is awesome as always.
3. Your new slow mechanics is real dog poop!
3.1 This game is toxic, it`s not fun, it`s try hard in case if you have 1k + in POE 1.

Please make POE 2 GRATE AGAIN!

I agree completely. It's painfully difficult, especially for those of us with accessibility issues. Not rewarding either since I'll go through a fight two dozen times just trying to move forward and only get a rare I can't even use for my trouble.

Not fun.

Sure variety is good... but this should not have been marketed as POE2.. it should have been a new game. Those of us who have played POE1 for years, deserved a "better version" of POE1... a sequel that gave us what we loved about that game only better... Instead they created a basically whole new game genre and sold (I say sold metaphorically, I understand it is a FREE game) it to us as the sequel we all wanted.

Then it would be just reworked Act 1 for PoE 1 5 years ago, or maybe second campaign for PoE 1. They wanted to evolve the ARPG genre and they did it, instead of just improving minor aspects of PoE 1. I don't see why it shouldn't be named "PoE 2" if it's an evolution of the same genre.
