Why are you laughing?

Video games that require Too Much Skill is actually bad for sale. Yes, difficult games can be more difficult to keep people playing. And require MORE skill to keep people interested.

Making a difficult game and failing to keep people playing reflect developer skill issues.

i'm agreeing with him

It's so easy to spot game journalists these days.

All these new players seem to forget that PoE was always for the hard core player. It was Never designed for casuals. There are games out there that are.

Skill issue

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with op, but let's stop pretending that arpgs are hard to play. You aren't Faker, and the ceiling is low af in all of these games. Smashing space bar while pushing QWER isn't easy or hard. It's just tedious. Arpgs are supposed to be that chill genre that I can space out and grind on while I take a break from the stress from pvp games. Souls style gaming is "difficult" like being stuck behind a slow driver is "difficult".

and you can tell they heavily designed / balanced the game around rolling.. bad design

I seen so many complaints coming from this, people just want to skip the whole game and rush to maps again like poe1, many complaints all coming from this root cause. Why? If you just wanted to map forever you could have stayed on poe1 and saved yourself $30. What do you think you're going to get from falling into the same nonstop mapping loop?[/quote]

Why have an "end game" and this campaign in the same game? sure, there'll be leveling guides like poe 1 but 99% of the content will be end game farming.

What's the point of having some dog shit boss in EVERY ZONE that you waste your life on that DOES NOT MATTER in the long run other than wasting your time for some epic fight ggg think they made when it's just another "lets get this over " honey meme. or 4500 mobs that live in this small town and jump me like some gang i owe money too while i spam my skills and can't even get away with dodge roll.

dodge roll is not a mechanic it's a scape goat they need to make poorly designed game . movement skills were the best thing about poe 1 but ofc they ruined them there too over the years. poe 1 is bad because they kept trying poe 2 things in ti and poe 2 is bad because they didn't learn we don't like them .

if they don't want us getting to the part of the game we'll spend most of our time then they shouldn't put it in the game.

now classic wow hc. I've got 110 hours and i'm only lvl 50. now that's a good slow game. poe 2 is just ANNOYING

I can almost guarantee we have the popular streamers to thank for how bad the game is. They get paid those massive deals from the devs to promote and be involved, and then they are too scared to criticize the devs because they don't want to effect their streaming job (which is understandable). This is why letting Streamers balance your games is a horrible idea. Because streamers have no 'cajones'.

DID YOU SEE ASMONGOLDS VIDEO?!?!

Dude took 15 hours to get to act 2 in pain the whole way but then remembered ggg paid him and all the streamers to say nice things and put out the fakest video about poe 2. dude's been a shill too long to allow himself to admit he was wrong about it.


if it were good and the mechanics were good and bosses weren't awful and i didn't have to RECLEAR AN ENITIRE ZONE EVERY TIME I GOT GANGED UP ON AND COULDN'T MOVE or a boss to 1 hp before it 1 shots me then i'd gladly say poe 2 good instead... this game just reminds me i live in hell where everything good like poe back in 2020 gets ruined and i can't do shit about then i have to deal with trash like poe 2 because the devs have some agenda\

i just want 3.12 or earlier private server

This doesn’t feel like PoE anymore. I understand that many people might enjoy this new direction, but the issue is that most players who loved PoE1 (myself included) want a similar playstyle. During PoE1’s beta, it had a similar slower style, but it was a huge flop. They eventually shifted it into a fast-paced, fun, grind-heavy game where you could relax and mow down hordes of monsters. PoE2 might find its own player base, but it won’t appeal to the original PoE1 fans unless they make drastic changes.

I wouldn’t play a new league in this state again. Fast-paced endgame is what defines PoE, and the journey to get there is just filler. However, in PoE2, it feels completely absurd.

Come on, Bro. You guys wanted PoE in a new graphical coat with the same awful boss mechanics, awful combat and boring one button meta.

This game here is a huge step up for GGG. Hands down the best ARPG I've ever played

Good thing poe 1 is still there.

That’s your opinion. As a true fan, of course, you’d want the same type of game with a fresh update, there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, the entire fan base that exists today is here because of what the game originally offered.

man i dont know if i'm feeling this.

WHO SAID THIS? i didn't want them to do ish but keep making good leagues like 3.9 - 3.14!! i didn't want a poe 2. but they pushed it on us and even destroyed poe in the process because they thought they were going to delete it and dont know how to fix it.


IMO POE graphics were PERFECT back in 2020 before they started updating them. a game doesn't have to be shiny and plastic to look good.

also dodge rolling isn't a mechanic it's lazy game design. in poe you have to think about how you're going to mitigate damage and can still avoid things you can't... but ofc that used to be better before they turned it into poe 1
