General Discussion - New to ARPG. People say this PoE 2 is hard. - Forum

" Magezi#4468 wrote: ARPGS usuallly attract neckbeards with zero to none reflexes that have no life and are able to grind 24/7. In PoE 2 it seems you actually have to have skill instead of relying on braindead steamrolling with grinded items. This seperates the chaff from the wheat and I find that tremendously amusing.

According to the positive reviews, I can say that most of us agree with the direction the developers went with for this game. Not trying to be rude but yes, if you do not enjoy playing a game, I strongly believe that you should uninstall and quit playing a game you do not enjoy. The point of making this thread was me being confused to how or why people are saying bosses are "unbeatable". But the most unhinged ones saying "I used to 1 shot bosses in PoE 1 but I can't in PoE 2". There are so many games out there that can offer such a gameplay. Even so, offering you a pay to win microtransaction store. PoE 2 should be a good example of what an ARPG is like while offering a challenging experience for players that put in the time and effort to learn boss mechanics.

Who exactly said that PoE2 is hard? lololololol Man does not stop playing because he grows old. He grows old because he stops playing. - Oliver Wendell Holmes	Posted by Winterfury#4666 on Dec 7, 2024, 2:22:19 PM Quote this Post

I never wrote that the problem is in the difficulty of the boss battles. The problem in my opinion is in the excessive simplification and yes i will stay in POE1 because there is nothing to do in POE2. they cut out everything i liked in POE1 and added something that is not needed there at all	Posted by bachgaman#6713 on Dec 7, 2024, 2:26:41 PM Quote this Post

" AintCare#6513 wrote: nope, i think the issues come from people that played poe for about 5 years, people that played for 10 remember the game was kinda like poe2 Totally right. I see all these descriptions of "gameplay problems/its too hard!" and I'm reminded of Beta mud flats and original arena brutus, and OG hillock Its nearly the same game that PoE USED to be in 2013, except it requires much more skill manipulation, which I'm not really a fan of but knew that was the direction of the game. Starting anew....with PoE 2 Last edited by cowmoo275#3095 on Dec 7, 2024, 6:34:44 PM	Posted by cowmoo275#3095 on Dec 7, 2024, 6:32:30 PM Quote this Post
