Does the game frustrate you too?!

Hello dear community,

First of all, I play a Lightning Spear Amazon at level 71+.

I know this build is actually very strong, but unfortunately not under the following conditions.

1. I'm currently running T1/2 maps, but it simply doesn't drop any currency with which I can craft or buy gear. A long time ago, it was said that there should be a lot more currency dropping so that you can try out a lot of things in the campaign. I've found almost no currency in the campaign.

2. Far too few useful items drop. I sometimes drop items for character level 24 on T1/2 maps. Why?!
I simply can't find any upgrades for my character and am forced to play with my campaign gear, some of which is still level 26 and blue. Why don't rare monsters drop at least one yellow item? The reward for killing yellow monsters feels absolutely terrible.

3. It was once said that the game should be more accessible to casual gamers. POE 2 is far from that at the moment. Many are already fed up after the first three acts at the latest.

4. The difficulty level is currently so high that only truly hardcore fans will take it on and enjoy it. A bit of relaxed mapping in the evening is hardly possible for a family man and worker.

There are many other things that are really frustrating in the game right now. Maybe there are a few other people who have had similar experiences, and maybe GGG is reading this too.

I just hope that POE 2 will become a game I love to play again, and that doesn't feel like stress and work.


Sorry for my bad English.

No im having fun. I know its EA, i decided to do it, i knew from the start it might be a pain. It is btw sometimes. I resume, after the game is released.

I was complainig too about drops, 2 hours later a perfect jeweler dropped.

It still needs a lot of balance to be fun from start to endgame. It starts hard, gets easier/fun/blasting, then back to slog, deaths, xp loss at endgame.

Yeah, i play ssf and on top i try to find my own build, because i hate to play meta and or with guide and i dont want to trade, because its an ARPG! I want to find stuff myself. But all the loot is awful and i never see a so bad loot. And i play ARPGs since D1. I have seen everything. Maybe i will stuck forever in campaign, because nothing drops. I have to fight every rare for 5-10 minutes and every fight is like a PvP fight. I love PoE, but this is actually anything else, but not fun. And you gain literally zero motivation without drops. If you have a loot filter that only shows rares, you only have all 2-3 hours one item on the ground! Which one is not for your class/build.

I am now in early maps, using a golden charm and ~20MF on my gear. The loot seems almost OK and I could find upgrades occasionally. Then there is Alva... so running around with blue gear is probably not necessary...

i got my amazon to level 75 and already have no ambition to log in anymore. burned out really fast. campaign was a slog, but ppl wrote in endgame it gets alot better. in reality it is just plain boring. very slow, very clunky, very unrewarding and massively time consuming. people who are able to play all day long for whatever reason likely have a different opinion and think it's fine. but with the current state of 0.2, this game is absolutely not for people who have to manage their free time.

perma stunned -.- .....

After 5 months its pretty clear they don't know what they are doing unfortunately :/

I have never had a worse experience in an ARPG than in the latest Campaign iteration. Wow its bad. And it gets even worse the second you get to maps. Tier 2+ is extremely hard just coming out of the campaign. In tier 1 2 and 3, nothing drops, like ever? So how are you actually meant to progress? I thought the campaign first time around was tough but extremely fun. I made 7 different characters. This time around I will not go near that campaign again, nor will i try and run 100 tier 2 maps just to drop an exalted orb never mind a divine orb.

What the hell have you done?
"meaningful fights" are one thing, this is something entirely different. It literally feels like you are one shotable the entire game, from beginning to end. I dont understand why it has to have the "soulslike" thing to it? Just make an ARPG? 90% of the time you cant even tell what the bosses are going to do. They more then 1 line which is shared amongst several different spells. Its like well ok a spell is coming, but you dont know which it is.

I never once had this problem in Last Epoch, you literally fight hard bosses, and if you are good enough and skilled enough you may not be hit and you may potentially make that hard boss pretty damn easy. Duh, thats what an ARPG is. You work towards a goal, and see the fruits of your labor. This game you are behind the curve from beginning to end, start of maps, end of maps, every boss, everything. Its absolutely insane.


Oh and PS this is all before the fantastic performance.
I mean, if you cant feel that this is the POE! backbone, painted over than you crazy.
The performance of this game, is one of the worst I have ever experienced bar none. You wanna make maps the size of Mars and pack them with impossible monsters on your SUPER computers, and then release it to the world who can maybe afford half of the pc stuff you test your game on.

Wake up seriously.
12 years of the same crap in POE1.
You would think that this would be gone now.
