Kinda sad what other people here are saying about POE 2

I don't consider the game too hard so far.
I'm trying a somewhat dodgy self created minion master build that's very medicore so far with little hp.

Most bosses have like 4 or 5 different attacks. The game really just wants you to remember the tiniest bit of information to know when you have to dodge and in my opinion this works very well. You can dodge roll literally like every 2 seconds in this game.

So far I was able to beat most bosses on my 2nd try, even with my crappy build, and I really enjoyed the perceived change of pace when it comes to gameplay and poe1. This game certainly isn't as punishing as Dark Souls or Elden Ring when it comes to boss fights.

That being said: Every player has his own preferences and skill levels when it comes to gaming. So it's quite fair to say you don't like poe2, but that certainly doesn't make it an objectively bad game. Maybe you got suckered in by the hype and realize now that this type of game just isn't for you.

On that note: Enjoy the game and git gud fellow scrubs! (jk)

I love that they went the more challenging route for the game. It's not for everyone but I'm sure will bring in the challenge crowd.

I know its your own opinion but saying the game is bad because you are having a hard time is kinda really unfair don't you think? One prominent POE stream said in the past, being bad at the game is a choice.

Just as unfair as someone saying the game is easy and great telling those who are not is unfair.

That's like an NBA player telling someone on the street being bad at basketball is a choice. Such a bad take.

YET NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN LEVEL 20 OR MORE THAN 12 HOURS PLAYED.

How many people are going to play any game for 12 hours before the game starts being fun?

My 2 cents, your fault for reading.

Well my favorite part about Poe2 so far is the lingering hype from before launch, after that the fun has continued to vanish the further I continue with the campaign. Loot, Potions, Bosses, Character Speed and huge maps that reset when you die are among the most annoying aspects of the game so far.

If people want to be slow and miserable then keep the current state of game in 'Hardcore' mode and make a fun version that people can actually enjoy, I want dopamine not anguish.

The game is not hard its a frustrating spam dodge simulator.

Its exactly the same situation as Diablo 3 Vanilla, almost 0 loot, 99% of the loot is worthless, close to 0 currency, gameplay consist in kiting everything while using spells/attacks from afar and spam dodge in bosses while some DoT dmg the boss.


Seriously this feels like a dejavu.

The worst thing is the things that are being said about anyone who does not like the current game its the same thing people said back in D3 1.0.2: "the game is fine, learn to dodge. Skill issue" while playing ias Stack Smoke DH (in this case flamewall srs).


I dont want GGG to nerf the game, I didn't wanted D3 to be nerfed in 1.0.3, I just want GGG to fix the loot overall. Gimme something useful and some currency to craft and I'll show you how easy the game really is when my gear has enough resistances and life.



The worst thing is seeing how elitist a part of this community is. Can't wait for them to play 2nd season of the game just like it is now, act1-3 twice with this loot and overall dmg. Maybe GGG can add a new mode for that, I like the term ruthless...

D3 had all builds broken. immortal WW barb, perma freeze sorc, friend had a monk that was also 'OP'. that game was silly ez, and end game literally consisted of unicorns.

if they dont tone it down with how hard it is ,i dont think i will be playing more then this 1 character , i will probably go back to POE 1.

Poe1 new league when? Bc I'm not looking forward to poe2 league XD

And running through maps while enemies automatically die is not?

Well that is any arpg's goal. The arpg formula is simple:
1.) start weak
2.) get stronger
3.) become the overlord
An arpg is kind of a power fantasy!
