A CASUAL PLAYER feedbacks
|
As the title says i am a casual , i have never really fought the end games bosses in poe1 nor in poe2 , 0.1 was the exception i did fight Xesht once (or whatever his name) and maybe Maven in poe1, maybe...
I really liked 0.1 ,played with a few friend that were motivated after work and family commitments, we even farmed a bit some soul cores to make extra currency and thats when the league ended , they never saw any of the endgames bosses and that is fine, endgame should be for the dedicated players. We came back for 0.2 and suffice to say my friends didn't last 2-3 hours, i can't blame them , it was very tedious , monster were ruthless , never died so many times to a single boss ( damn you Jamanra ), gearing up was and still is a chore and to top all that, currency are scarce, the game overall do not feel rewarding. There is no hero fantasy when you gotta run away and dodge roll constantly from white mobs. In 0.1 by the end of the campaign i had a bit of exalts and maybe one or 2 divines which is great to start endgame it was quite a smooth transition. In 0.2: -All my exalts are going toward buying gear during the campaign, so i am constantly broke. -Can't find for the life of me any rare drop that are good enough LET ALONE something useful for my class. -Vendor sell mostly blue items with the occasional rare. I would take good blue bases and regal orb those if i had any regal orbs... but i have none , i may have had more exalts dropped than regals honestly. And to get regal shards you need to get rare items , which in my case during most of the campaign i had none dropping. I basically ran the whole campaign with only 2-3 different weapons , each of those i had to buy in the market with exalts. IT is disappointing; me and friends really had a lot of fun during the campaign in 0,1 , it felt well balanced and rewarding , to the point where we started to go in endgame. It took 2hours in 0.2 to make them dropped the game , and honestly after having run a 165% rarity boss map ( tier 3) and only finding 1 exalt and 2 vaals, i think i am done for this league also. Most maps i don't even find 1 ex ,not even a regal...I am not exaggerating I am sure you will balance the game with upcoming patches , i mean it has already started , and get it right eventually, i understand also we are in early access and it's a good time to test things on a massive scale , i just hope you didn't scare away too many casuals, that the only thing they will remember is how tedious the game was.

" I'm starting to understand why on Steam POE 2 has so many negative reviews lately XD |

it will improve. next patch is already experimenting with loot. I think the approach they took was "give the players nothing and increase from there". easier to balance that than to nerf loot later.

" You either got incredibly lucky or you're just wearing the thickest pair of rose-colored glasses they sell because no chance 2 divines was the norm in 0.1 campaign. " I'm reading this a lot. Armourer's Scraps are exchanging at 2.5 per exa so if you salvage you're getting at least 1 exa per map. " That is a sad thing that you just made up.

I can just agree to the review above.
I lasted for maybe 8 to 9 hours. Played until mid of act 2 with a frost sorc. It wasn't even about the difficulty itself, it is just that progress feels lame and tedious. The world feels very empty and way too slow. Same for combat. Maps are despite the patches still way too big for my taste. Some bosses are too strong while others feel like a joke. Drop rates of virtually 0 when it comes to useful items. Seems traders got nerfed too never saw so many useless items in a row where even the stat combinations didn't make sense. And the loot itself, the problem is they nerfed the quantity of mobs so the loot got nerfed automatically with that. Idk if giving mobs more loot would solve the problem because the loot itself is useless. That is also why the most useful items were bought by my own hardly farmed currency but the online auction house on the website is actually really bad. Is that really the gameplay PoE 2 wants to have? Farming currencies and then pay2win on a badly designed online auction house? |

" Sir, having a well rolled map + 2 precursor tablet in a tower at tier3 doesn't make me a veteran , it's literally the tutorial of end game, i had a bunch of shitty map also. |
