Burned out - POE 2
|
Maybe its just me but I am already feeling so burned out. On act 3 with a monk, tempest flurry build.
The deaths are so punishing. I now there is supposed to be a learning curve here, but a full map reset of enemies is utterly draining. Dying 3-4 times per boss is hell, especially if you are on the 2nd phase. Hitboxes feel really bad. I feel so frustrated playing this game. It's been such a slog and feels like getting very little joy out of it. This is just one character. I really don't know if I would bother playing a 2nd or 3rd. Melee(at least for the monk) doesn't feel that great, like Im being punished going in for melee. It's far better to just use ranged attacks. Not a fan of the dodge roll but the entire game seems to be centered around it. Skill gems feel wrong. I can just use higher level gems from stronger characters on new characters. Crafting is just too random to care about. Dying to those things on the ground *after* I kill an enemy is soul sucking. Losing loot, especially orbs is horrid. Passive skill tree doesn't feel like it provides that much increase in power and it always feels like I'm only just keeping up with the next areas enemies. This is literally a top down Dark Souls game. I never enjoyed those and I feel silly that I didn't pick up on this sooner. Game looks and sounds great and the skills look cool. I guess this game just isn't for me. Last bumped on Dec 14, 2024, 2:47:20 AM

Yeah, I guess this really just isn't the game for you. I cannot imagine a world in which dying to a boss 3-4 times can be described as "hell".
Like, that's one of the parts I love the most about this game, that I actually die a few times on some bosses. I find it so incredibly boring when I succeed at everything first try, I like feeling like I actually earned the victory - and failing a few times is the perfect way to do that. Now if I needed 20-30 attemps every boss, that'd be less fun, but 3-4 times feels like the perfect amount to me. That's why I love the game, but absolutely can't stand the Trials of the Sekhema. But yeah, given your feedback it sounds like the things you don't like are mostly things about the core design, so I genuinely think this game just isn't for you. Which sucks, but hey, there's plenty of other games out there. There's lots of games that just aren't for me as well, so I'm happy that at least this one is. |

" Some "ELITE" gamers can kill a boss the first try in a few seconds using a broken deadye build and then they feel superior. Then the only pleasure the they get is to try to take down others I guess. This guy's experience will be that of 80% of people that play this game. Only a very small fraction of POE players play ruthless and that means the product is in trouble as a business venture. You have to be able to keep 80% of the customer base and be willing to lose the "ELITE" players like you. I am an utter GGG fanboy and like most of their fanboys, including most streamers, we all have deep concerns. |

You might need to buy gear on the trade website, that helps some people.

Yeap. one or two exalt can buy a really good "add damage" weapon that makes the main attack skill finish Act 3 cruel with ease (pay attention to the required level though). There is no way I can roll that good weapon by myself with even 10 exalt orbs' tries based on the experience of my own in-game luck XD.
