No love for minions

You may have missed the part where they removed minion accuracy, reworked several active minion skills, buffed minion active skills, buffed spectres via reservation cost and damage, buffed internalist dog, buffed unique boots that reduce undead minion reservation, buffed minion/companion attribute stacking by changing dexterity to provide increased attack speed, buffed warbringer’s ancestral spirit minions, buffed totems, added a new minion skill as mortar cannon.

I don’t mind towers too much. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about really.

I mean Endgame-wise, for a non-casual player. Campaign looks like it will be a very good time though.

-Towers(arguably the worst part of endgame) remain unchanged.
-Atlas passive tree is still bare bones.
-No controller-kbm hotswap in 2025. I do not think I have ever played a pc game that didn't have this. For a game like POE, it's a net negative to QoL.
-Some questionable nerfs in the patch notes.
-Map prepping appears to be even worse now. Just imagine the steps; finding the right mods, deli (one-by-one), abyss mod(one-by-one, with animations, potential failures/do-overs).
-Some new content requiring you to double down on playing bad maps.

I feel the excitement for new content too don't get me wrong, but I'm also thinking about the burnout. Chasing towers is very demoralising. It's a chore in every game that has this kind of mechanic and it's even worse in POE 2.

I’ll just play the campaign till I've had my fill and then go play something else tbh. I may or may not test the endgame to see if I'm wrong. Haven't decided yet.

The end game in poe 2 is terrible and I will give a hot take, it is in also terrible in poe 1.

They should scrap the entire spiderweb clusterfuck of a map system and come up with something entirely different. GGG has a history of overthinking things that sometimes don't need to be overthought. A more linear system with progression goals would be perfectly fine. That way new players would understand whats going on and you have sense of progression unlocking content as opposed to an endless spiderweb of generic maps. Also you can make more theme content for each section.
