Complete backwards step
" That is fine and ok. However if we have to go back and grind an area multiple times to over level for the area boss, not even the act boss as that is apparantly a whole new level of D**k S***s, then I would expect the areas to be exciting and engaging and have some level of environment or mob change, and they don't. In fact watching them on stream they remind me of the crap d4 started shovelling when the sweatlords started screaching D4 bad. D4 started with a solid foundation. It turned to crap once the streamers and no lifers brow beat the devs into turning it into d3.5. It is not the difficulty that is the problem it is the poor design that relies to much on the Dark Souls formula. |

I've played PoE for thousands of hours, and after about 11 hours of PoE2 I think I've had enough. It feels awful. If I had to sum it up, it's slow and unrewarding. I'm either bored or frustrated, and I am just not having fun.
Let me break it down a little. Movement is slow, dodging and escape skills are sluggish and useless half the time, body blocking and clutter often screw your movement, and you get caught on environment all the damn time. It's a constant 'stop start, stop start, stop start' where I never enter a 'flow state' where I am running and gunning. I am constantly just being ripped out of the experience by annoying shit. Added to this, how unrewarding most everything is. Not just itemization, which is few and far between. But attacks and skills hit like a wet pool noodle. Leveling is glacial and gives you bugger all. Skill progression is wonky to say the least, and the shear lack of skills and typecasting pigeon holes you into the same build at lower levels. It's all just too thinly spread. There just is no substance here. After dabbling with each of the classes, looking for the fun, I just don't want to do it anymore. I came into this will little in the way of expectations, willing to meet the game on it's own terms, and even then you still somehow disappointed me. Do better. |

" What "tik tok" generation??? The people that have been complaining are long time ARPG fans that don't want this absolute sweat-fest that is FORCED upon us like we have to play ruthless mode no matter if we want it or not... You might be surprised but 90% of the playerbase was playing standard non-hardcore PoE to try fun builds and have a good chill time with the game... This game is catered only to the 0.1% of the most sweaty PoE players and is telling the rest of us that want to have a good chill fun experience in a great ARPG game to "fuck off" cause we're "not good enough"... Well, enjoy your game dying being a free game with 10k concurrent players in a year from now... then the devs will go and say that we are the problem cause we didn't "git gud" and not their magnificent game... cause this is the modern culture of gaming... A good game caters to the MAJORITY... not the streamers... and the streamers are money whores so they just hype and hype and hype and none of them bothered to mention that the game has HUGE flaws and shortcomings that will turn off us PoE players that actually PAID FOR IT!!! |

" Well, if we want them to fix the game soon we need to overflow the threads with posts like these... we need to make it CLEAR to the devs that we as actual PoE1 players are not willing to actually play this Dark Souls genre bullshit... |

" Sadly POE 1 will continue to fund POE 2 once the dust settles and the majority of players go back to having fun now the shine has worn off. Last edited by Schtopper#6832 on Dec 7, 2024, 6:56:02 PM

POE2 is Conceptually and visually a beautiful game.
However, bosses are WAY too difficult in early Acts. They need to change that fast before it pushes too many people away. Getting trapped in mobs and dying feels bad. I'm tired of it already... and it's just 1 day in. Disappointing. POE 1 = feels good man POE 2 current state = feels bad man |

" I started gaming with pong, I’ve probably been gaming longer than you’ve been alive and I’ve experienced every genre the first time they appeared and doing everything from hardcore to casual. This not an ARPG it’s a souls game, and while they are free to do it most will drop out. People who played Elden ring are not going to play this on mass. The audience for it is a small cross over at the end of the day. They can make it, but most will drop out at act one and never come back. |

" I m sorry but souls game are fun and good gameplay :D Like I gave hundreds of hours into Elden Ring and it was filled with excitement mostly all along. POE2 is not a souls like, or at least not a fun one Last edited by Mr_L#3221 on Dec 7, 2024, 7:23:42 PM

" And that's good for you but to make the game successful they need the masses and if the masses want to play a souls game, they play Elden Ring or one like it. They won't play this. |
