Impossible to team up, not relaxing, ancient ways of doing stuff... Why is it like this?

Hey GGG,

Really? You wanted ppl to have fun in everything they do. To make something new. To add new things and make it more for the casual player and not the die hard fan. Then why did you just copy past PoE1? Ignore story, ignore better graphics.
- The skill system? Could be a league thing in PoE1.
- Keyboard movement? Could have been added at any time in PoE1.
- New bosses? New league again.
- Eternal atlas? Just Delve in a new skin.

As for the problems that are there. Taken with you from PoE1, or brand new.
- You do sync effects on other ppl's dmg. Like fire exploding poison etc.
Result, teaming up might destroy a other persons build completely.

- The sync is way less dmg then it would be as the attacks where not synced. So they serve no use unless you build keeping the other persons build in mind. No one does that.

- XP and Loot is only shared if you hug each other on a map. This was bad in PoE1. This is bad now. You in a parties. You on the map? You share loot and xp.

- 6the member needs to whisper leader to get a invite. But you can't see who the leader is.

- Can't give option for anyone else to invite 6the person. Or to turn 6the person invite via whisper off.

- You can't see anything. The time i walk in to a group of enemies because i can't see they are there with the background is just insane.

- You can't see anything part 2. You can't see your party members. If you have the mini-map you get small arrows. These need to be on the screen edges. This is not 1999. This has been perfected by many games before.

- You can't see anything part 3. The amount of time i am stuck on terrain because it looks like i can pass it, but can't. Is way to high. Only way you can see where you need to go is with the full screen overlay. Yeey more things on screen. So now we have, effects that are to much, a map, loot, monsters and party members that merge in the terrain, no way to distinct enemy and friendly spell from one a other. All in one big nasty heap.

- Can't see what enemy or friendly spell is. Option to make it transparent; one color for friendlies. Or even just turn it off.

- XP after lvl 90 is a pain and not fun. No one but some hardcore gamers want to come home, play a game. And get punished for a death, losing all xp from that day. At higher levels, from that week. That's not fun or relaxing. That's something that will make 80% of ppl stop playing for good.

- No in-game marketplace. No one is talking about bidding. Talking about that relic of a trade site from back in 1999. No one wants to spend there time online sitting in the hideout waiting for a sale. Or even just be online to sell anything. Was never fun to do, and will never be. I am playing PoE. Not "phone case shop keep simulator". Because that's how fast stuff sells.

- You wanted ppl to feel like a god. Being a all powerful god is boring after like 5min. Ppl want a challenge as a demi god or lower. Why did Dark Souls, Space Marine 2, Baldur's Gate 3, even God of War, Dynasty Warriors do so well? Because you where not the most powerful. You where the underdog trying to beat the god. You had to think about your actions. Not just have a build where the game becomes a walking simulator. And you just go around collecting orbs till you can buy something better to do it again on a "harder" map. There is no tactic, there is just screen effects.

- Your build is not bad, you are just poor. yhea, because the hardcore PoE1 players have gotten to levels, farming gear that's so high power. They think 100d is the price for a junk item. We causal players are just stuck getting 1 maybe 2 d a week if we are doing it relaxed. And guess what, you isn't doing anything more till end of league. No end boss testing. No harder maps. You are just locked in to your gear. Not gone find anything else. because the good gear drops or is made when you can farm orbs like there is no tomorrow. And you can buy what you like to experiment.

- Gear fear is a thing in this game. Got a good item with 3 modifiers on it you like? Better not try and roll that item for more modifiers. It could brick that item so bad you would need to unequip it. Better just buy a new one. Or IF you are lucky. Try and roll it on loot you find with the few orbs you have. At some point you will get gear you can just not roll anymore unless you invest a LOT of orbs and time clicking to get that item. Is crafting a clicking simulator? Because that's not engaging craft. That's boring and akin to a idle game. But you can't idle crafting. You need to manually click 2000x And yes i did crafting in PoE1 and it sucked. Nearly got carpal tunnel from it and it was frustrating and annoying af. What do other games do? Make it a high req of mats. Or give it a chance to succeed in crafting the modifier on the item. Not have it randomly roll between some stuff and hoping it hits. That is gambling. And the age restriction for gambling is 21-18 years old. O but it's not gambling, there is no real money involved... Really. You gone act like there is no "gold selling" in this game? In this case orbs selling i guess. You know there is. It was there in PoE1. And it sure as hell will be here. hell, i got bots spamming me about it already. Aka, this crafting atm, is gambling in a game for minors.

- ES was very clear in PoE1. It was half your HP bar. But now. It's such a tiny bar at the side. Half the time i think i am doing ok. Only to notice i am actually on 5% ES. Because you can't see it out of the corner of your eye. only your HP is clear. And having HP and mana show above your character is so small. And the screen is so hectic with a map across the screen and everything. You can not see that thin white line around your HP bar getting lower. It was clear in PoE1. So why did you change it?


580k ppl playing at release down to 260k in about 1 month? Guess why that is? It's just PoE1 again in a new skin. + these where all problems in PoE1. But this is not PoE1. This is PoE2. Ppl that think this all should be the same as PoE1. Should just go play PoE1. Nothing wrong with PoE1. And if you like it, that's fine. but stop trying to make a copy past game and call it "2".


I am off now. Rather play a other game. Maybe see what PoE1's new league is like. But PoE2? Na, i will give it a chance again after a few more big updates; No use in playing it as is. Its just a bad version of PoE1.
