GGG I beg you, please do not make the game easier.

As a HC SSF enjoyer and devourer of challenges, I like the game as a baseline and can see the potential.

That being said there are some big issues with it, and the drops are one of the biggest ones. It's not as bad as people keep saying, I always get around 11-15 Exalts by the end of act 3, it's just that currency isn't efficient for crafting in the game atm as you need to keep upgrading gear during the campaign, so your regal + 1-2 exalt orbs are often not enough to carry you too far without being stuck for currency again.

Most of the loot and crafting issues will be solved in time with more content, but it's really prohibitive at the moment.

everything else like the difficulty and whatnot can and is being adjusted, and I appreciate them for that.

There is a unvocal majority loving the current pacing speed and difficulty of the game. This includes the level of loot we are getting and the TTK of monsters etc. Please do not turn this into another brainless cookie clicker loot simulator like PoE1. We literally still have PoE1 when we want that gameplay we can log into it right now. This is your opportunity do something revolutionary and different from the norm.

Zizaran, ds_lily, mathil, ziggyd, fubgun, ghazzy, captainlance, RaizQT, cArn, more... know what every single one of them are doing right now... streaming LE.

You can like POE2 all you want, but your opinion doesn't make POE2 a good game. I want to like and play POE2, but like all the steamers, I found something else to do. POE2 is terrible.

+ 1000000000000 TO YOU

The game is fine and as people get a better grasp for it, it will get even easier.
I hope they stick to their vision as developers, as the people whining here, on the subreddit and the streamers have no idea how to design a good game and they will not stop until they ruin everything

Might want to check the player stats before you claim that the majority like the direction of the game.

Don't need to go far just look at the steam store page



I watched it go from positive, to mostly negative, to mixed once they released the news they're gonna walk back some nerfs and when the loot box hit oh boy it went down the tubes again

I think its pretty safe to say, people are not liking .2.2 at all and all the rage baiting on the forums trying to say the opposite is hilarious cope

And the steam community is pretty vocal and has a lot more weight than people think

maybe valve will step in and remove it off the store under their new policies on bait and switching because its getting to that point the game is not at all what was advertised even in EA from Johnathan's interviews before the beta opened.

(Because a LE league just released)

Seriously, it's as simple as that. Streamers need the clicks. Novelty attracts clicks. They will "go back" to PoE2 when PoE2 releases another league. Then they will "abandon PoE2" again for a Diablo 4 league or whatever and then they'll "Return to LE" when they make a new patch.

Wow.

+1

Dont know what people are complaining about difficulty. The game is piss easy, even on a "non meta" build. Even on SSF, you just need to grind a little more wich is totally ok, its impossible to beat the effiency of trade.
I o only wish they mantain the vision and make the game harder. Focus on D2, not on every other shit mobile game "arpg" these days

Content creators streaming or not streaming poe2 does not necessarily make it a good game.
I suspect that no matter what state the game was for them, they would have streamed LE (simply because it may be beneficial for their livelihoods to do so!)

The end game seems to me to be the toughest arena to balance.
Act 1 in particular is an experience that can be really balanced. Currently, Act1 is just amazing to me. If anyone is struggling with campaign, they can ALWAYS choose to make it significantly easier by gearing through trade, spending their gold, or through overfarming.

Please do not ruin the experience of poe2 for those of us that love the challenge of resetting the game to fresh accounts and playing!

I honestly feel the game is made for me.!
The game gives different ways of overcoming challenges on a fresh account too: either skill and knowledge of mechanics, or rewarding smart crafting upgrade choices (like upgrading to better base, sacrificing one type of resists for this boss fight, socketing at certain points in the campaign, etc).

I agree steam should remove it for bait and switch. This no longer the top down arpg it was and now is a slogfest with no loot where you never feel strong unless you play vendor simulator or buy from the shitty website based marketplace where no one answers you unless you're buying something worth 50+ div.

Overwhelmingly negative reviews and literally down over 250k playerbase or more and yes its easy to check those numbers.

"unvocal majority" lmao

You mean the minority who either;
A. Hasnt made it out of campaign yet
B. Has made it passed campaign, but continues to roll new toons
C. Doesnt care about end game (where the real game starts)

This is not dark souls nor should it be. Worst take on an "ARPG" ever.

Hundreds of thousands and even huge streamers cant even stand to play the game or put up with the bullshit shenanigans they call GGG. Which is not even really a company anymore since Tencent bought them out. The originals who are still left are just devs now and hold no ownership of the company.

Its funny to see how blind they are when they have such a good "vision" of things. 0 replayability period.

Haha because they are paid to do so.
Mark my word little doomer, in 7 to 10 days they are all back to POE2.

Don't add Mathil in the mix please, the only reasonable one from POE1, don't mix it with the Karens...

and if streamers will make the quality of a game, well then Fortnite is top dog and a masterpiece....

On a more serious note, the review bombing is shameful when you see the quality of POE2, the GenZ or internet crowd "everything is due nothing is earned" is pityful and shameless.

I would be GGG, i will close the studio or sell it to Activision in order for the doomers to have some valid reasons to doom and cry.
