Reasons I've not enjoyed 3.27

Its been years since I tried a league for PoE, but given the shape PoE2 is currently in I figured I'd come back and give it a go. After all I like Breeches...

1. Breeches - I don't know what tweaks were made but as a fan of tower defense and breeches in normal PoE, I hate these. They feel unrewarding and clunky. I never had an issue closing breeches, but these constantly either disconnect or they're so impossible to navigate that I rarely can get to monsters fast enough with two movement skills and decent MS. (Maybe this improves in maps, but I'm not rushing)

2. Reckoning & its weaker little brothers retaliation - I play on controller, thus I have 4 combat buttons I can visually see at a time. Reckoning was a godsend because it meant I actually had skills I could use. Now they've been removed for whack-a-mole style skills. In a game that requires split second decision making and strains controller players to their limits. Why on earth would you add something that only works under conditions, if you can't see it! If you redid controller support to go along with it maybe. As stands my favorite skill got removed in 3.25 I guess, and now as a shield player I have even less viable options.

3. Loot - PoE2 loot was dreadful, it might feel worse here now. I do not remember it being this bad and I never played into rarity gear before. Now I actually have rarity gear on and its the worst progressiom I've felt. I'm mostly self found, and only start spending once at the t14/15 stage. But good grief where is the loot?

Just don't understand a lot of the design and decision choices. Maybe I'm spoiled because everytime I come back to other games like Warframe they're implementing all the feedback to improve rather then remove. Where as I come here and I feel like all my favorite toys have been replaced by cheap knock offs.

I am just left feeling like GGG only wants a certain type of player and the rest of us be damned.

Wheres the loot you ask?





You arent even level 30.

The loot is in the Genesis Tree, OP. I had a handful of chaos by that level from using lavish wombgifts.

Literally said in the post I'm not rushing,
I'm talking about being discouraged from even touching maps because it feels bad in comparison to prior experiences and explaining why.

I'm well aware toxicity and elitism suffocates casual player experiences in this community, just ask if its clearly been stated that you don't feel the need to add negativity without constructive discourse.

I've always enjoyed the campaign more then maps, I'm not enjoying the campaign this time around for the reasons I listed. No need for putting people down who have different point of views.

No one gets any loot at your level in this games history


It’s not putting anyone down



It’s just stating facts



I don’t know why you are talking about loot at this early of progression
