Oh sorry if mageblood isn't dropping every 15 minutes like in PoE and everything became meaningless. Let me bump up the loot drops for you. In the meantime, I guess you'll have to actually play the game and try crafting.

Now you are exaggerating. The loot IS bad and crafting is not really good at all.
You get so few orbs to craft with and no agency at all. Alt spamming is gone so good luck hitting your desired mod with trans and aug. They just need to adjust the orb drops a little and also give rewards for fightign tanky rares and bosses. Dropping white trousers and 10G from a tough boss fight is just utter trash to be honest.
Rares being as rare as they are now is also not really good design.

Hard disagree. The fact rares aren't rare shows how ridiculous the arpg genre has become.

The post you quoted was spot on and correct

don't worry, the toxic poe players will be here to say if it's boring then it's just a skill issue and play poe 1 lololol

the same people that quit ruthless and talked ish about it

Game is "boring" because you can't faceroll braindead premade builds anymore. Go back to PoE 1, this one is truly too skillful for you.

sadly, I have to agree.

It's not even difficult, i'm level 15 now and it's been a total snoozefest. died maybe 2-3 times. I just think the massive health pools and the lack of loot make this more boring than fun . game needs massive changes.

Agree. Maps are large, you move slowly even with 20% movement speed. Packs take 5-10+ seconds to kill, sometimes much more. Energy shielded mobs are tanky af, so spend another minute. No loot. No currency. I feel the skill selection is limiting too. Yah we can use anything, but if Im stormweaver, Im likely not going to go EQ unless I do some wonky elemental stormweaver build.

Whats really killing my desire to continue playing is that everytime I die, the entire map/zone resets and I need to re-clear everything. Going through the slow slog all over again is not clever "difficult" design. Its simply annoying. Mundane. Boring. Im falling asleep doing it while my fingers are getting sore killing the same trash mobs again.

If you watch a streamer, the are glazing. And the game is good. But lets not kid ourselves... we have major work to do here. Its EA, and I don't know if it needed more time in the oven to cook, but here are a few issues I see:

1. Crafting material drop rate is abysmal. And through act three, Im simply transmuting and augmenting. Thats not fun. And most anything I craft seems to be trash anyways. Minimal regals, three exalts total. The amount of mats and scarcity feels like a poe1 league launch. So Im holding onto some.

2. Combat, while I enjoy the dark souls feel of it... arc arc arc dodge, arc arc. White mob dead. x 10 mobs on the screen. And my skill tree is 90% damage nodes. ??

3. Pacing is good. I like that things are slowed down compared to POE1. and I hope this is the idea...the days of zoom zoom map blasting are done (hopefully). Hated that. Hated grinding 40 maps in an hour in poe1. boring. But you need to give us more speed options, just a little.

4. Boss HP/difficulty: I like it. But I can understand, even POE vets, complaining. Its a slog, theres no doubt. Torn on this one.

Im 43 years old and long time D2, Poe, D3, D4, etc player.

Its not that it is difficult, its no well "thought"

If i loose my motivation only 3 days since start, not even to accopmpish my Ascendancy, at about lvl 25, well while leveling, then...

Something "big" is wrong with the game generally:/

For me I really hate the new gem system...it's boring and shallow. Finding and Leveling gems was fun..this system is BORING

mid way through a3 and i cannot be bothered playing the game at all.
Boss fights are the only time you are using your brain. No movement skills means your are spending 90% of your time wondering through massively oversized maps slow as shit.

Dodge roll is a plague to gaming. I rerolled and tried a new class and it feels exactly the same because all your do is roll, 0/10 please nerf

Please ignore everything in the ridiculous post above please.

Fantastic game and vision. Love it.

Why should your opinion be worth more than his? Different people actually have different opinions, it can't be that hard to understand, right?

The most glaring issue to me (i don't play ea but have watched some gameplay) is that poe2 appears to really expect you to have well rolled crafted items early and replace them often.

Then the drop rates are too low early on that you might get stuck if you can't get the right affixes. Stuck until you get +x to whatever your build needs to function.

there you go, the toxic git gud crowd have infested this game too

now you basically can't have a fair discussion about the actual experience of playing the game because of this crowd
