Do you know anything about PoE 2 besides just the new 7 acts? Or do you only know about the 7 acts

It's not that it's boring as a whole. If that was the case you would naturally stop playing without telling anyone.

My issue is after so many nerfs skills are really in a bad place. redesigned bow skills are horrible (over many leagues). Meaning it's pointless to pick up Bow equipment. Same with items related to other now nerfed into the ground skills.

So that has compounded the issue that the "endgame" is such a grind. Because you are playing the same skill all.....the.....time.

So that in the long run makes the game boring to play.

Chris literary said "build diversity is great" least night...

Alas, saying something and "internal metrics" saying something doesn't mean anything if a player tries a bunch of builds and they all feel like garbage to that player.

Which appears to be the case from most of the posts I've seen (and is likely a factor feeding into why the league apparently lost over half of its players in less than a month and is confirmed by Chris himself to have lost 30% revenue)

Game is boring for me after 2 weeks in 1 champion. But when i think about doing leveling process again after hundreds of times im out.
WE NEED ALTERNATIVE WAY TO EXP OUR CHARACTERS.
sorry for caps but i think GGG dont see a problem here

They don't they literately say they don't because they want to make acts more challenging/harder aka you will spend more time in the boring acts and that will make things fun and better and less boring.... I seriously cannot understand how they reason, might be a New-Zeeland thing.

I beg to differ. Lore and story are important to the atmosphere. Maybe I'm just weird, but without stories, games just seem dead to me.

All well and good until you have to do the campaign for the upteenhundredth time, slogging through the same boring and unrewarding content as you work towards the real content: The endgame.

I've lost many friends, including my boyfriend, to how boring act content is after running it so many times.

you're wrong. You JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE BURN OUT, it's a coincidince. Also, the game was JUST TOO REWARDING. so that combination made you quit. /s

That's another issue. I do wish they'd find an alternative way of leveling up until maps, after you do the campaign once.

Agreed.

Decided to skip this league after playing for a couple of days.
Nothing to do with the patch, league, nerfs, etc. Honestly, I didn't notice any difference after the first few Act1 zones.

The simple answer is, I had no desire to re-do EVERYTHING I did just a couple of months ago, and a couple of months before that. I kinda forced myself to do it last league, as I had the same feelings, but most importantly, significantly more time to waste on a game.

It's not just leveling, although running the campaign again is nothing but tedious at this point; It's ~

- Campaign
- Atlas farming/unlocking 160~ maps.
- Maven passives
- Pantheons
- Unveiling mods
- The sheer amount of time it takes to farm the same (100% RNG-based) gear I've made multiple times already...

All that, just to get to a point where I feel like I can 'play' the game.

On top of all of that, the 'End-game' bosses, Sirus & Maven, both feel terrible to actually do.

So, I decided not to play.

@Chalace2
my thoughts exactly
the amount of grinding required to get anywhere is out of control.
and maven content - good god. I thought they couldnt make boss worse than sirus they did Maven, but whats even worse are her invitations
