I gave this league 12 h but POE2 is Just Anti-Fun

[Removed by Support], I haven't had this much fun since 0.1 and the balance has been great warrior can actually play endgame. You guys are just wanting handouts like POE 1 ez mode without challenge. Sorry that's not this game, if you want faceroll no skill required POE 1 is the game for you.

.1 was the most fun this game has been...i doubt it will ever get back to that point sadly. made it to mid act 3 on this season and im ready to pack it in. maybe .4 will be good...doubt it though.

I should add

ED+Contagion in PoE1 is tier 2 build because 2 buttons and slow. But it is at least playable.

But in PoE2... Contagion targets ONE MONSTER instead of AoE.

Who even think that is good idea?

Yeah target proper monster (when others are getting in the way with 10 movement skills). Or you deal no damage, monsters do though (and they swarm you and kill you).

That was such a slap in the face the first time I tried it. Should have read the writing on the wall.

Just finished Act 4, and breezed through it was Lightning Arrow (of course it was easy)... but man, the game just isn't fun rn. I know when I try to play something else, it's going to be a huge slog, and I don't have it in me to do that anymore.

I can see they're making huge changes that make the game great, but I'll never understand why 80% of the skills are trash and everyone has to play the same thing to get anywhere.. There doesn't feel like there's a "chase" in the game. It's just the same thing over and over in different maps.

Abyss was a fun addition, unless you die. The rewards are bad though, and the crafting mechanism is bad. I'm just going to try again when .4 releases. Eventually the game might be fun.... right?

This is pretty much a symptom of a designer who is so obsessive over balance over fun, that he would rather everything be weak than even a few things be overpowered. I fully expect the next major changes will be nerfing everything that currently performs even slightly well.

Try to play Warrior.
Walk up Abyss.
Try Rolling Slam with its seemingly 5 second stupid animation.
Get instakilled by Abyss mobs that attack 10 times a second.

Great stuff as always. PoE2 bad.

+1000

Tried my best, got to endgame with a sorc (Tier 10-15 maps)

But this game is an absolute chore to play.

I have to play a 5 button piano medley to do most maps. I've tried almost all classes at this point (And watched my friends play the ones I haven't). Everyone made deadeye this league, simply because its one of the only options for going fast and zooming through the game.

I pray that GGG looks at this and realises players just want to zoom at the endgame.

The pace of the game is barely any different from level 40 to level 75. You have to go at roughly the same pace, the same finger-hurting FORCED combos.


Atleast we could break the game and have fun in 0.1. Hope those fun times can come again in future leagues. If not, I probably won't stick around.

2 leagues of painful sloggy gameplay is not a good look.

POE2 will be good only in case when you put character gameplay from Diablo 4 (literally) and keep POE2 systems on top. This gamplay and combat is trash. Will finish campain and uninstall before Act 5

Same. I'm about to quit myself.

The devs vision just is not good. Period. Everything hitting like nerf guns and boss fights taking 5+ minutes and punishing you when you fail is anti-fun.

That's the kind of game you design when you want someone to play your game once, and then put it away when they're done with it. Or you make it like Elden Ring, and with actually good dodge mechanics that have iframes, and overpowered builds that veterans can make to have fun.

But POE2 is just anti-fun.

For real. Once I got over the difficulty curve, I got temporalis and had that temporalis autobomber build. It was super fun.

The devs vision for POE2 is not good and they're actively making the game worse with their insistence on anti-fun mechanics.
