Keep it up GGG
|
For me personally 0.2 brings most of the things I actually expected from 0.1.
Huntress feels fresh and interesting, campaign requires a bit more thoughtful approach, although I haven't really felt that it got much harder after rolling amazon and gemling, at least not until cruel acts. There are issues and questionable decisions, of course, both in terms of game design (doesn't seem like power charges on monk were really nerfed, they just got more annoying to use - it's like nerfing a skill by hard-binding it to F12), and simply technical performance (haven't seen a single disconnect in poe2 until this patch). GGG rarely interacts with the community, but I hope they see that there are also people out there who like their vision and direction the game is moving. No one is ever getting exactly the game they dream about (I personally would love to see campaign becoming main content and taking 30-50 hrs to complete - man can wish), but a lot of players want something other than zoom-fest of poe1, and as long as poe2 stays on this course it will have its audience. PS: Pillar of the Caged God alone still allows you to zoom through most of the campaign. I guess that thing is really either OP, or nerfed to the ground, without any in-between.

I agree with you OP, the huntress, moreso spears are really well done.
They did capture the essence of soulslike in this game, the feeling of overcoming adversity. I enjoy playing the campaing so much and find myself really bored at endgame because it's just too grindy and repetitive. |

" Yeah, crashes are terrible - just lost my whole rogue exile loot b/c it crashed and reset me. I wouldn't expect much stability from EA, but right now it's borderline unplayable during US evening time (5 hours earlier everything was smooth as butter). " Spears more than huntress itself, you're right. I wouldn't call it souls-like (in general, and also poe2 is far from being rest for the wicked), but for me it's comparable to some old ARPGs, like Titan Quest, or even D2 to a degree. |

BUT ASLL I SEE IS HUNTER HUNTER HUNTER ....
what about the ppl who got totaly ruined by poor and bad devs desicions?. |
|
" But that's the problem my man, this is an ARPG, not a soulslike. And this is coming from somebody who loves the souls series, but POE was never meant to be a soulslike, it just doesn't work for an ARPG. I want nothing more than for the Devs to pull their heads out of their rears and understand this, but they keep gazing over the issue like it's not an issue. I agree with you the campaign is definitely nice, but this patch stinks. |

" Poor bad people... " Nope, the problem is that people (you?) think there's some "right" way to do a game. While really there's just the way devs want to have it, then there's a way it actually happen to be in reality, and players agreeing with that vision and its implementation or not. You think souls-like doesn't work, so you (presumably) decide to let devs know you're frustrated and they will lose you as an audience. I see that it's working just fine (actually, in my own definition there's nothing "souls-like" about this, but we'll go with yours), so I decide to let devs know that I support them and they're making the game I'll play. No problem, no drama, everyone's happy (as there's a lot of other games you or I could play if this one is not it). Or that's how it's supposed to be, but somehow it turned into a hot mess all over the internet. |

Wait, pillar still viable? Too little stat to stack early game to have the damage output scale with the new pillar stat.
Are you having some high flat damage ring early game that makes it viable? Thanks, asking since it was my fav build before 0.2.0 |
|

oh give it a rest, the game is absolutely trash tier atm.
|
|
" Atm it just scales quite weirdly with frozen locus and str, and just one shots everything in its AOE up until Act 5. Rings not strictly needed, but cold runes are a must (at least T1). I never got it in 0.1, so no idea how it was, I guess much better :) Single target is a huge problem though, so it falls off rapidly at Jamanra and beyond. My build was absolutely random though, you might have a better experience. |
