I love the game so far, please don't nerf it and make it easier for the naysayers

My suggestion/feedback would be to please do not bow down to all the "influencers" and other folks whining about how hard the game is. There are a lot of players out there myself included that are tired of the 1 shot bosses, META/S tier cookie cutter character building, easy content in so called AAA games. I am super happy to finally have a game where there is a distinct possibility that my character will die as it adds a significant challenge and when you do finally beat the boss or the mob that has been crushing you over and over there is a huge sense of accomplishment. So please do not nerf the game just so the youtubers and Twitch players can blow through the game unscathed in the minimum amount of time possible just so they can get views on their channels.

I would like to say though that the shared party loot is somewhat of a bummer, not sure there is anything you can do about it at this point but it would be a lot more enjoyable to be in a group if there was personal loot.

amen. i agree. great game. love the challenging and meaningful combat

Our money is just as valuable as yours. And our feedback should be as well. I'm fine for a fair challenge, but this game feels far from fair at the moment. Personally I hope they add some difficulty options to the game. That way those who want the extra challenge can have it and those who don't can still have fun.

As a gamer with health issues and joint issues with my hands the game is not fun. I spend way to much time dodging and moving and not nearly enough attacking. Difficulty options would solve a lot of this.

If you want to play Dark Souls, then do so.

The issue isn't that it's hard. The game isn't hard. The bosses aren't hard.

The game is boring. Just wait until you get into Act 3 and spend an hour killing trash mobs that drop nothing all so you can beat a boss in two attempts.

That's one map zone, by the way.

oh and if you are struggling, respec is 1000g a node now.

Enjoy.

Sorry OP. Your opinion is very much the minority. I’m praying Poe 1 keeps getting updates because PoE 2 is an unparalleled disappointment.

Actually I have been sitting here enjoying my coffee and reading the forums and I can say that my opinion is not the minority, it seems to be 75/25 in regards to the difficulty with 75 being the majority. I am sorry that people do not like the game and I do not believe that my original post said anything about shutting down other peoples opinions. In the end its just a game and if you do not enjoy it that's your call as everyone is allowed to have their opinion. But I have been gaming for a loooong time, the first game I ever played was called Zork in the early 1980's and I can say with certainty that this is the first game in a long time that actually offers a serious challenge which I feel has been lacking in so called AAA games. Also this is early access and although there have been some issues that need addressing overall the game plays very well. And that is compared to the last AAA game I bought, and paid $70 GD dollars for, that was completely broken from day one of its commercial release, total garbage.

I want GGG to kill PoE2 before it even begins so they don't split the playerbase from PoE1 and make trading even worse than it currently is.

100% Agreed. Please Christ Wilson don't let them make it easy.

People nowadays are so impatient they can't take the time to learn a brand new game and expect it to be a cake walk...

I welcome the challenge and figuring things out. It's a major part of the experience.

This is what sites like PoENinja do to a game. I've always built hipster stuff in PoE1 and it's working out great here. I've died twice and it was 100% my fault both times.

More skills are coming. More classes. The base combat is solid and more options = more power.
Anyone having problems right now will probably find it sorts itself without nerfing the game.
