Just completed Act 1. Zero deaths so far. POE2 is fine. The crybabies need to stop complaining.

TLDR: poe2 is fine. The crybabies need to stop complaining.


[Edit: just completed Act 2. Only 3 deaths in Act 2 due to Balbala, Iktab and Colossus. Nothing too difficult or impossible about Act2.]

I started a new char in new league on Sun and yesterday I had just completed Act 1 boss Count Grenor. My deaths count is zero so far, as indicated on the lower left corner of the screenshot. I find the game very fun and very challenging but it's nowhere like what some people are claiming that the game is too hard and too impossible to play.

There are some near deaths incidents and I had to dodgeroll my way out and backtrack to reposition before attacking the mobs again. But the situation I had seen so far is no way similar to what some people are claiming that bosses and mobs are too powerful and the char is constantly getting swarmed and getting one-shot.

I am very disappointed to see some people making lies, making false claims, making misrepresentations of poe2, and all because the gameplay and mechanics of poe2 is different from poe1. Many of these people, because they wish poe2 to be the same type of gameplay / mechanics as poe1, and when they don't get what they want, they go on the forums, on reddit, and on social media to make false complains and to make exaggerated negative claims on poe2.

I would like to say a few words to GGG and compliment that they have done a great job! The game is fine. Sure, there are bugs and also some game balancing changes need to be done. I am sure that GGG will work it out and make poe2 to be a great game and even better game than poe1. I wish that GGG will stick to their "VISION" and not to listen to all the complainers and crybabies.

If you start making poe2 easier and easier and easier, then eventually there would be no challenge in the game anymore. Then we might as well close down the game and go play other games like Hello Kitty Online instead.

I would also like to say to all the complainers and crybabies. Please stop all your lies and stop all your exaggerated mispresentations. Just because your build is nerf, or poe2 does not play the same way as poe1, does not mean you can talk rubbish on the internet. If poe2 is too difficult and impossible to play, then how come when I go to the ladders, I can see people reaching level 90s in a matter of few days? If the game is too hard, how come I can see those streamers on twitch completing the campaign in a matter of days?

Do we really want to see chars zooming and flying around the maps and land in the middle of large packs of mobs, and then press one button and then boom, boom, boom, everything dies on the screen?

And then people complain about very few loots. This is again a false claim and misrepresentation of the game. Do we really want to go back to the horrible loot explosion of poe1?

Loot is meant to be scarce, loot is meant to be meaningful. You are supposed to loot everything on the ground and vendor those things not usable for your char. I hope GGG will stick to the VISION and not be pressured to make poe2 easier and easier, and the worst thing is to make poe2 to be like poe1.

Lastly, I would like to say that it's about time that there should be complete separation between poe2 and poe1. The poe2 website should contain exclusively the poe2 forum and related information. The poe1 website should contain only the poe1 forum and related information. There should not be a situation when both games exist on the same website. We should keep the player base separated between poe2 and poe1. Those who want to play poe2 will go to poe2 website. Those who want to play poe1 should go to poe1 website.

Keeping things separate will reduce conflicts between the two different types of player base. This will also remind the poe1 players that poe2 is a separate game and has different gameplay and mechanics. Those players should not expect poe2 to be the same as poe1.

Yeah bc you did it after they fixed a lot of the issues. It was 10x harder on launch weekend lmao. Big surprise you did it with a warrior too

After reading this long ass post there was no surprise that he was playing warrior.

It's not the difficulty. It's the boredom that stems from playing a slow, tedious and unrewording game. Basically, this is the opposite of what great ARPGs have been in the past, including the original POE. The "vision" of the blind.

xD .... its a funny Post.....

Act 1 is the easiest, and I had zero deaths there too, but I want to see your death counter by the Act 2 final boss at the very latest. You talk about the game as if you've already played up to the maps, but you've only just finished Act 1. Discussion is pointless with a post like this.

If I made a post with a title naming people as crybabies because the game actually sucks (not that I would), it would be removed, But this is fine I guess.

xD time travel to 0.2 Release...
Take 10 rotations to kill white pack...
Then come write this...

IT WAS NERFED 4 TIMES!!!
1 of the nerfs was 400% LESS HP that's 4 tiles less hp...
Dude it was NOT OK...

Yeah when everything is completely unbalanced and you somehow manage to find the build of the warrior, yeah you might get through with no deaths, now go do it with a caster or a dexer... Play the real game.

Loot is meant to be scarce

Just wondering, at what stage in the game do you believe players should find their first greater jewellers orbs?

In campaign?
In early maps?
In late maps?
After pinnacle bosses? <- we are currently here

*I'm fine with more difficulty, what I dislike is not having the tools to build the character I want. At lvl 89 My build is the exact same it was at lvl 30: Spam 3socket falling thunder

Oh look a guy playing warrior after all the updates telling us how easy the game is. Start a Sorc and come back in 15 minutes and tell us how easy it is. You tool.
