This is what happens when you turn your back on your dedicated player base. Making the game more casual friendly and simple so the d4 losers don't get their feelings hurt. Making the game systems over-all braindead has made the game exponentially less enjoyable for everyone without a learning disability. Sure the 10 y/o with heavy onset autism can enjoy the game too. But that doesn't help the people who haven't had a traumatic brain injury recently. Also you alienated your most dedicated players by slowing combat down to a crawl. No one wanted that. But we got it anyways because, reasons.

Heya,

Take this "stuff" elsewhere, your desire to diminish and slander those who have issues is deplorable.

Kick big rocks...barefooted.

This is exactly why POE2 hasn't been fixed yet. Everyone today is so soft and weak that we can't have meaningful critical discussions, which despite what you were taught [Removed by Support] DOES involve conflict and hurting peoples' feelings.

Have you ever seen PhD students get grilled at elite universities? Some of the professors are so ruthless that students leave in tears. This is what the real world is actually like. But this is also how things get discussed seriously and ultimately changed.

I feel like half the users and the moderators on these forums are so busy being "morality police" that there is a lack of focus on discussing the actual issues. Discussing the issues is more important than peoples' feelings.

at present, the league is already good for casuals, getting a LS build operational for t16 maps is what i'd consider really cheap.

What makes me laugh is that casual players don’t even realize how lucky they are. Being able to clear almost, or even 100% of the content with a 50ex budget thanks to LS isn’t something that’s going to happen again anytime soon once the EA is over.

bro if your build needs more than 2-3 divs in total...its really bad.

why is that? isn't it the point in this sort of game to have a fancy expensive powerful build?

if you like to suffer just play some cheap melee build.

Watch out guys, we have a badass over here.

You don't understand. Players were able to give up just a little bit of character power for some magic find and get 40% more of the loot they care about. Some guy doing t1 maps with 80% rarity on his gear was getting 2.8 exalted orbs per map instead of 2 per map. 2.8! Obviously, that means it's time to reconfigure the entire drop system.

This reads like a teaser for a new novel from William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, authors of "Trigger Warning" which is perhaps the single greatest novel ever written on the subject of definitely very tall and strong men who aren't snowflakes and have beards and know about guns and war and stuff.

Hey everyone, we've got a real life tough guy over here dying to tell you how tough he is!

Never mind folks, the real life tough guy is actually an ivory tower academic doing some Stolen Valor.

I had... a few... discussions about "player retention" in PoE2 0.1, where ppl tried to claim that PoE1 is dead because of things like "90% of the player base left because of EXP loss yadda yadda", but back then, it was just a misrepresentation of the available data.
The retention was not only as expected, but even slightly better if you compared it to PoE1 and all the leagues in recent years.

Now, in PoE2 0.2, it's a bit different. While it is true that a decrease is normal, the downward trend is not, especially not when PoE1 0.1 performed in that regard better.
If some ppl want to cope that the patch isn't at fault, you can't change their mind anyway.
