Honestly - One of the worst early gaming experiences I've ever suffered...

I'm in act two, opening the gates and fighting whatever shitty, poorly designed bosses these developer's put up here. Finally, just had enough.

The game is abyssmally slow - why even have a skill tree if you can't utilize even a decent bit of it until far, far, FAR, into the end-game? The ideas, great - I love the idea of freedom.

Except you have to suffer though what I would consider some of the worst bosses ever created. They're just not fun - the mechanics are stupid, and honestly devs? Just end it right here. If this is your game, you'd best just stick with PoE1 - because this is a pile of garbage. You should be ashamed at just how poorly designed these act bosses are, and probably terminate whatever team you have in charge of designing it.

So, that's it for me. I sunk a lot of time and really tried to give the game it's best shot. In the end, it's not that it was too long, or that it was too hard - it was simply that the bosses had mechanics that were so poorly designed that they were as unfair as they are unfun.

Doesn't matter to me what level of game this dev puts out in the future - if I see them on the developer's list, it's the lowest rating possible, and never touching it.

Funny guy. Have some rest brother this ain't your game.

So who this game is for?

For your information, if every player who joins you says this game isn't for you, eventually the developers will create something you don't like, and when you complain, someone will tell you the same thing.

And on top of that, this game isn't being made on charity grounds. If, when the game is finished and released, there aren't enough players, it's only a matter of time before it's shut down.

When a player leaves, they don't think, "Oh, I'll go here and come back later," they go to the competition. Every player that Path of Exile 2 loses, D4, Last Epoch, etc... wins one player.

The world is extremely polarized right now.

Imagine someone comes back to give it another chance after a long time, melee is still terrible, armor is useless, Ascendancy is still the damn Sanctum or Ultimatum.

So imagine Blizzard learned from its mistakes and releases Diablo V with all the flaws fixed, extremely satisfying gameplay with the same resources used in Path of Exile. What do you think will happen?

Glazers, Twitch viewers, Tourists and literally, no I mean, literally PoE1 haters.

I've seen so many hostile comment towards PoE1 from brand new accounts and people who admitted to never played PoE1, ever. Their most common response are like "Go back to PoE1" "Leave PoE2 alone" "PoE2 is it's own game" "PoE1 gambling addict"...etc The other thread someone just called someone "PoE1 kids" lol.

I believe that the majority of these people, once over their honeymoon phase will drop PoE2 just like any other FOTM twitch hype-game. The moment they realize that they will have to do their so celebrated Acts 4 times a year, 12 times if you do alts... Things will get ugly.

These are not the loyal fanbase that you should cater to. But GGG don't seem to understand as ca$h money from these crowd blinds them.

The D4 tourists already bailing out, saw a Reddit thread where a big chunk was annoyed already. Imagine there are still 2 more slogging acts missing

Which is honestly really sad, since everyone just wants to have fun, but it looks like it's the exact opposite thing each group finds fun.
I think the game really needs to pick a direction, since this trying to merge 2 conflicting styles is clearly not working for either side.

They could even just go and say something like "Hey, we are trying something new here that a lot of original players probably won't enjoy." just to set expectations. The fact it's trying to pull everyone is just gonna fall apart at some point.

At this point i believe its poe 2 just cause its the same universe, i´m okay playing slow arpg games, diablo, diablo 2 but it fails being a sequency

The best they could do was to separate the games, i cant even finish the 3 acts without getting extremely bored, i always played melee in games like this, but the melee in the poe 2 is unbearable, the skill gems sucks, support gems sucks, the way you level suport gems sucks, get to act 2 to only have 2 supports gems is like being gated without purpose


In poe 2 in early act 2 i could easily get 4 links and try differents stuffs

Its so boring, the game director/designer should feel ashamed dude clearly not playing this game, it feels like a alpha not a EA

I dont know how its possible that melee single targetting in diablo 2 is more fun than smashing things with a volcano bear slamming trought a milion stuff

And there are people like me who got bored with PoE 1 which devolved from interesting difficult game into casino simulator. PoE 1 veterans insulting everyone who enjoys PoE 2 became slightly annoying and simply shows how shallow minded are those players. I am loyal fanbase and I ejoy PoE 2 in this current state and I hope GGG will push even more towards slow and tactical gameplay.

Also "go play PoE 1" is best solution for all PoE 2 haters. You don't need to be here and suffer in game you obviously hate.

I fully agreed.

The quicker this vision prove itself and eventually die, the quicker we can have PoE back, the true PoE.

Go ham. Make it even more of a slog, roll back to 0.1, add 2 more acts, become Dark Soulz. We can wait.
