Kinda sad what other people here are saying about POE 2
" Great solution. Let the crybabies flood the forum and just NEVER commentate, if u have differing thoughts. Or even are "afraid" they will dumb the game down, simply because of this negative feedback. OF COURSE people want to give positive feedback too in this scenario. Because they want the "Big big problem" to stay. What you say is the equivalent of "just play poe 1" - While this statement still holds better. Maybe because, like, the devs stated their vision for the game. |

" It really isn't. POE1 starting Acts were buffed to be quite hard because you're still earning currency/gear. POE2 Act 1 can be rough depending on your build. Some things need tweaking like cheaper vendor prices because the gold income to cost is the worst of all Acts/level brackets. But then end of A2, A3 and definitely A4+ you are back to your 2 button stompfest like POE1. It's not harder at all, you'll have tabs filled with so many sup/skill gems, rares, currency, hundreds of thousands of gold and you're not even @ maps. You just have to give it more than a few hours. 1-2 days at most, that's not much to ask to set yourself up. Then also alts because easy street because you already have uncuts gems ready, all the gold to buy vendor items from the very starts etc. The only hard part about POE2 is if you go SSF HC, or just HC in general. Harder as in it will take you longer to get that initial gold/item/currency stockpile because you will need to farm more at lower maps/areas that give less yield to be extra safe.

" POE1 act 1 is not hard at all. It drops enough gear and good enough gear and the bosses and mobs are easy enough there is little issue POE2 act 1 is entirely dependent on your gear, not really build since most builds don't even come online till late act 1, or act 2 (and later). Since it is so reliant on gear you can either have a cake walk or a lesson in suffering all due to something entirely out of your control as a player. 1-2 days is an eternity for a game in the modern age to hook someone enough to get start getting enjoyment out of it. I don't like the zoom playstyle and actively don't zoom in POE1, but man is POE2 a slog in the beginning if you don't get gear. This doesn't even touch on the league resets and having to run through it all again. |

I get that, but who is saying they are beating bosses easily? All the talk, at least from content creators, are pretty openly saying this game is hard. I don't hear anyone saying it's easy.
And I'm tired of having 2 options; hardcore or casual. As much as the elite gamers complain about not having challenging games, mid-tier people like myself have fewer options. I want a challenge. I don't want to clear bosses and waves with 1 button by level 10. I want a reasonably above moderate challenge that I have to really focus on to beat, but the direction GGG is going with PoE 2 is not that. It really feels like they are ignoring casual gamers, which I'm good with, but catering to elite gamers only. The thing, is elite gamers always had that option. That's what hardcore mode is for, which they've always had. Where is the middle-ground? |

Oh for goodness sake. It is different it takes time to learn. Then it’s perfectly doable. If it was easy instantly it would be shallow
It’s well balanced and takes some skill. Not your thing then play something easy Or go to mummy and daddy who will give you lots of affirmation about how good you are and maybe a lollly |

So far, POE2 is a very good and engaging game. Those that complain are doing something wrong and will stop complaining once someone makes an in-depth guide for them. They probably expect POE2 to play the same as POE1.
