Tell me your FAVORITE thing about PoE 2!

The need to pay attention from the begining of the game. You need to pay attention to the enemies, stategy, and also gear from the start - so you need to play the game from the start and it's great.

Also this makes you enjoy and apreciatie bosses more as they are not just fast steamrolled through things.

Just comment your favorite thing about the game. I don't care if it's the gorgeous login screen because that's as far as you got. Maybe you like the desktop icon or even the exact install size had special meaning to you.

Anything.

I just want to see if it's possible for everyone to stay positive, for no reason, for no cause, just for a second.

Stay safe, exiles! :D

Boss fights and a more horrorish design approach in general.

WASD, more skill combos, and a slower pace of individual encounters (though not so much the slower pace of other things as well)

There are numerous parts I like, but I will sum up as this:

The game feels like a new Diablo II.


Long answer bellow:

Note: I took my time to explore every part of every map for my first play-through, do I'm only lvl 50 for now (I'm currently rushing cruel). But so far:

- I like the fact there are less enemies, but stronger. This gave a more tactical approach to encounters. I play a minion witch: placement is important.
- I really like the low drops (99.99% of loot was clutter with POE1). As the game is currently balanced against low drop, this is fine. I like the fact you can progress without maxing all your resist; you just need careful placement and an occasional dodge-roll.
- Art is gorgeous. I especially like the gear bases tied to the various cultures.
- Most boss fights are fair (A few bosses need adjustments, that's what early access is made for). If you feel overwhelmed and didn't rush, there is probably something to fix in your build (respecs are easy, and some gear is available at merchants. Never neglect a blue item with good mods). I did have to adjust for some fights.
- several control schemes. I switched to WASD as I own a gamer mouse with lot of buttons. The fact you can move while channelling is great (but I don't think you can do that with click-to-move controls).

I hope GGG keeps POE2 philosophy. There is no point to make another POE1.

OMG I actually love this more than I thought I would. I just posted this after kind of burning out on the anger and rage over the game (not mine, just the cloud of negativity that happens on the internet).

Even the "uninstall and rage on reddit" is absolutely valid. It's a rough game. I've had my moments where I've had to stand up and take a walk. Keep 'em coming!

Waking up at 5 am to a message that people are posting on a positive thread about PoE2 was more than I could have hoped for. Thank you (and I'll check in a few times a day).

Stay sane, exiles :D

1. WSAD-Movement (Absolute killer, this is so much fun imo.)
2. Responsiveness and motion-fluidity
3. Graphics
4. Skill Menu instead of this socket and link-debacle in the first game
5. The Currency droprate changes in regards to crafting yellows yourself.

I like the story and characters so far (joned Act 3 yesterday). Graphics, Art-Desing, Sound and Music also.

Everything art-style related - the graphics, models, items, animations, spell effects, icons, music, voice acting, loading screens and so on. The game is simply beautiful, it's obvious how much love and effort went into all that.
The zones feel distinct too, like we're actually exploring a new world. Very good vibe overall.

1. WASD. I asked for years on Last Epoch and other ARPG forums to add WASD support :) Couldn't play without it.

2. Tactical combat, of course. With skill interactions and strong enemies.

3. Character customization. Many skills are still "Coming soon", but even with current limited pool of skills it's fun to play with.

1. WSAD-Movement (POE1 players were asking for it for years)
2. Graphics
3. Sounds

Sadly I completely hate the slow and boring gameplay. :/
