Why POE2 is dying

The Campaign has no Death Penalties.
It's loads of fun. The best part of the game so far.

So your assertion is shown to be not true by the game itself.

That's a joke right? The campaign is nothing BUT death penalties. If you die, multiple things happen.
1) All items that are on the ground disappear
2) The boss and the entire area resets
And you tend to die way more frequently as you learn the game I might add. PLUS its almost more infuriating to be punished in that way because of the sheer number of bosses in the campaign vs anywhere else.

Don't pretend like there isn't a penalty just because you don't lose exp.

Hahahaha. I just realized that this is the 2nd post by the OP about this same topic in as many days. Looks like he abandoned the first try because of 21 pages of responses showing he was wrong. Yep....a new thread will certainly prove different!

Even seems to think the game has "dropped"....ignoring the fact that we are currently in EA which is just a fancy name for "beta" (which OP even claims is needed in his post).

When you are wrong, you are wrong. And when you double and triple down with multiple threads, it makes you look that much more foolish.

Yes he is. OP said there are like 3 health nodes and 50 energy shield on the passive skill tree which is a straight up lie. Also it's holidays, of course there are gonna be less people playing but 350k is A LOT of people playing the game on the second day of christmas.

I wouldn't call it "lying". He's just 100% wrong, and won't listen to anyone who explains why. He even calls out anyone who would correct him BEFORE he makes any points.

Not lying...just incorrect and a spammer.

Mayhap OP could break down some of his/her points down to more specifics. This is a feedback section after all. I didn't read all other comments here because cba but for instance:

"

Maps and areas are way too big

Which maps and why is it a problem?

"

Melee is dead, it feels clonky, bad, slow, and punishing

What "melee" (class, spec, build(?) etc.) and compared to whom?


Games been out in EA for almost 3 weeks now. Saying that game is "Dying" is bit of stretch. And honestly according to whom?

I find everything the OP said to be correct. The only people spamming here are the ones calling him out over and over saying "git gud".

The state of the game is a mess, there are a ton of problems. Anyone who says game is fine is retarted.

So its not being abused, its just used by all the top builds, and people are running around with 15k energy shield being unkillable and face tanking boss one shot mechanics... no abuse happening here. You surely know alot about this topic.

Are you seriously suggesting that folks who use a mechanic that has been proven to work are "abusing" the game? In what game world is that ever remotely true?

Picking up on stronger or weaker things is essential to your success in this game. Using those stronger options is NOT abuse....it is the absolute most basic part of building a character.

Whether the options are imbalanced, and to what degree, is a DEVELOPER problem...not a player problem.

Well thats completetly relative to what you mean by the word abuse. I dont mean like its cheating, maybe abuse is the wrong word to use.

But thats not the point. The point is that all top builds use es, because its so obviously superior. And ofc you can still play other defenses but it feels bad playing something thats litterally 3 to 4 times worse. Also some ascendancies are almost forced into other defenses

At least in this topic I agree. The maps are too large and without movement speed it is unbearable to play in.

Act 1 is all fine, the map sizes are ok after you learn were are the quests and side objetives.

Act 2 things starts to get boring, the Deshar map and the Dreadnaught are painfully big and tedious to replay after the first playthrough.

Act 3 is all kind of mess, every map is so large that to find the 2 or 3 exits are garantee boredom, this act put the nail on the replay/alt coffin. The whole go to the past shenninagan is cliche and over the top, would be much more entincing if Doryiani had survived all those years in his black chamber living in oblivion what happend to the Vaal society (like the Solo guy of the Silo TV series).

The endgame Atlas maps are just a copy paste of Act 3 maps, so large that some are pretty annoying to be running constantly. I love the beach and red sands ones because they have a short circular pattern and not too many dead ends.

The OP is just a joke and kinda unaware of what he's talking about. Every game (Including PoE 1) has a massive peak on realease and then goes down until updates.

PoE 1 has peaks of 160-200k players on every league and goes to 10-20 k in the next few months.

What he's saying is just dumb and just trash talk.
