I'm really enjoying PoE2 so far

There aren't enough positivity in these forums. The GGG team really worked their ass up to get this game out in the best state possible, and I for one feel like this is a refreshing ARPG.

I had my doubts at first with mercenary, but then it grew on me, nearing end of act 2 and nothing feels impossible contrary to the popular belief. I think a lot of people still don't understand how to get and use the transmutation orbs and augmentation orbs to get started with a base gear set.

Anyhow, these forums are very toxic right now, people are whining a lot and its only been 2 days. They dont even try to understand the game mechanics.

While I have sort of fun with PoE2 I can totally understand the frustration of players.

There is a lot of scarcity in this game. Gold drops, Loot drops and currency drops.
All this rarely drops. While you might have 10 Augs and Transmutes, you dont have any regals or chaos or exalts to craft further. You dont have any means to alter your base.
You trans and aug Accuracy and mana on your ring? Well have fun finding a new ring or gamble for it but that needs a ton of gold.

Finding rares is also, rare (lol).

My question to most is just. To you see yourself sluggin through a 20h campaing every 4 months? You might get faster at certain things, that is true, but at the core it will still take 15h+ to complete the game in its current state.

The Zone resetting after you die is also a thing which is really weird. Bosses resetting is fine and also good, so you dont bruteforce through them.
You lose all loot in the zone all mobs. There was a Essence Mob? To bad you died, now its gone and so is all the loot around you.

There are some things which need a little fine tuning.

I'm not saying everything's perfect, but there's no reason to assume leagues are going to be designed poorly. That's criticism of something that doesn't even exist yet. If the campaign is very tough to get through, a good developer won't design leagues that only activate at the very end of the game, and if they do they deserve criticism for it.

Also yes, I would rather play this again than the horribly unbalanced and powercrept poe1 campaign again, because the league would ostensibly add new things to it, whereas the poe1 campaign is so beyond fixing that it's not even a speedbump anymore.
