POE 2 is amazing but it is making some very big mistakes that D4 did at the very begining as well
I really loved the game from the first minute, all the campaign, everything, now I reached high tier maps i can confidently say that there are 4 problems that should be addressed:
The experience gain is way too slow. I cannot imagine this staying the way it is, playing like this is POE1 i would have been lvl 98 at least and I am still lvl 85. At least imo the XP gains should be improved significantly. This will promote people making carious builds in the league, not reaching such a mid point of the development of their character and just wonder if it even makes sense to continue playing. The monster damage, considering our defensive layers options at this stage seems way off, it scales very very fast around level 11 maps. I are randomly getting one shotted from map movs and i have 2000 life 4000 ES and 20% DR. Especially the chaos dmg seem waaaay too high, but this is probably because I am an ES character. The decision to have only one try per boss is absolutely damaging for the game. Those bosses are with incredible design and great mechanics, however, only a very small % of the players will be able to even see those bosses and much smaller % will be able to have several fights with them yo actually learn the mechanics and practice the fights. This decision is just super bad and I really cannot understand the rationale behind it. The fact that you have to kill the boss from full HP is absolutely great and the fact that they have removed the TP as well, however, 1 attempt, is just very bad. The late game collection of fragments for bossfights feels sooo slow and tidious that it is hard to believe it was tested properly. This is even slower than D4 at its early stages. After lvl 80 I feel like I am in a hamster wheel. If the other points are worked on, maybe this will not feel so bad, but it feels absolutely horrible now. Anyways, those are the few problems I see that are integral to this absolutely phenomenal game. I really feel for early access the game is in a stellar state and the rapid reactions of the devs to feedback is incredibly impressive. This game will not have any competition very very soon, even during early access I can hardly imagine going back to playing PoE1 and i have been playing it for 10 years. I hope you understand this is my opinion and everyone has the right to have one and voice it. Even if you disagree, please consider the points. Last bumped on Dec 12, 2024, 2:36:21 PM
