The hard truth about Path of Exile 2 and modern gaming in general

Alkaizer, someone who got to play the game before EA, kept saying that it is much harder than PoE 1. I assume other people who got into closed EA also had similar experience. Why have you guys never heard their take? If you care about the game why are you so misinformed about it?

The entitlement is off the charts. Every single John Rodgers video about this game has said that items will be scarce, the game will be hard, and you will have to think about your actions going as far as to say it will be souls like but an APRG. Either you missed it or your ego will not allow you to accept this game is beyond what your capable of without putting in some effort.


Plenty of people are enjoying the game even brand new poe players. That should sink in but it won't. That is on you.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcd9BfVw7hQ&t=349s is the reason me and a lot of others were excited for PoE2.

They changed direction somewhere along the way and made... this.

The game can have scarce items and be hard but still be fun. What they made is, for me and clearly a lot of others with me, a boring, tedious game.





but.. it's been over a year since they showed the direction path of exile 2 went, and you're surprised at this point because you clung onto the idea from the reveal from 5 years ago?

I don't understand what this argument is supposed to be.

They told you before hand that the game will be bad so therefore you can't be upset about it?

There's a real concept/belief tied to this regarding karma and evil. Hiding in plain sight. If you tell someone to their face you're going to commit or are committing an evil act, it doesn't count because you told the person or made them aware before you did it.

Let us zoom out more. Bring back 32:9, Heist Alt Quality Gems, Gear Enchanting, Prophecy, Metamorph & Crucible. Stop removing content from the game. Stop nerfing everything. Stop making the game slow

I feel betrayed and fooled by GGG.


every single time I saw John Rodgers in a video he has said over and over this is going to be a much harder game without the projectile spam builds and so on. You either did not watch these or do not remember. Go take a look back at every interview he's done on the topic.

No, the point here is that the people who post are surprised that the game is Ruthless-level hard. When it was clear that this will be the case. They keep bringing up older information about how it is supposed to as easy as PoE 1 but with better graphics.

It was LITERALLY going to be poe 1 expanded, as a SINGLE GAME if that is not poe 1 with better graphics what is?


At the very very beginning. If you haven't been paying attention since then - I don't know what to tell you.

I feel like a lot of these people simply haven't been paying attention.
