Is PoE a good Game for new Players?

After looking to the Progress of Path of Exile and his Changes at all, i asked me by myself, how this works for a new Player?

I spend a lot of time to learn as much as i can from every League.
But must it be, that you have studied all Mecanics?

With An in this League its much harder for normal Players to get good Loot and thats kill my Progression.

If they say: make this and search for that for Farming the right Loot, i must asked, how you will do it with a weak Build?

Must it be that i play a Char or Build that I dont like?

I only like to play Deadeye, and it was every time hard to Progress, but at least it was funny.

Now, I dont see a Progress for my Build and I am struggeling a lot.
Without currency that drops without any Mods and so on, I have only enough currency for the Build Strength for Tier 14 Maps. At least with too much dying.

PoE is gotten much difficult each League and now you killed it with your AN Monsters that appear out of nowhere and killed me often enough from the out.
Its frustrating being killed without seeing the enemy.
At the Moment i must understand all the Mecanics to get Loot?
Ill try hard but its not the Game ive decided to play, 4 Leagues ago to take my Outtime from the real World.
This Game is in a shape that new Players will have a hard Time, and must learn a lot, instead of playing.

You can imagine my frustration about this horrible Changes that this Game made.
A Vision (your Vision GGG) should be better near by the Players Community and not only what you like.
Because you dont play this Game?

I've played every hour of this week & only have a lvl 61, from so much POB this week. " New players " referring to those people who frequenctly rush to lvl 90+?

Is that even a new player? A real new or moderate player hasn't even reached a stage of thinking about loot at all not once this whole week, not once.

Tho to each their own.

As for is this game good for new player, well I've had to google 1,000 questions this first year of playing, so unless new players want to do that, ok then. They'd need those 1,000 questions answered for a game guide for this game to be truly new player friendly.

In its current form? No, not really.

GGG should lower the difficulty of earlier acts so that new players can better acclimatize to the game. I dread to think how many new players get overwhelmed and quit before they have a chance to experience the game's true appeal.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Don't even try or you will be disappointed after couple months. You will be watching end game bosses fight. You would like to have same gear so you will start saving. But it take months to save currency for one really good gear. Then GGG nerf it or change economy and your effort and hard work vanish. And your time invested nobody gives you back.

I have been playing since launch and barely touch on crafting, nothing end game ever and I still don't understand syndicate hideout stuff very well and I have killed shaper exactly once. :D Trying to get some more bosses down this league, we will see!

It's never too late to start this game, or are you waiting for the right moment?
If you follow the site as a poe.ninja, you will see that some players reach lvl. 100 after 4-5 days from the start of the league. After 7 days there are hundreds of them. They were all 'new players' once, weren't they?
If you get "stuck" in the game, it doesn't go any further, try to solve it yourself, if all this is tiring and not fun for you, just give up.

Its perfect for some new players who jump in and love exploring depth, game systems and general sandbox type stuff without any handholding. Not perfect at all for most lol

But thats about it, anything else you need a friend to cover so much of the basic info you need now.

The whole new player experience is something they gotta get right for PoE2 i'm hoping they are devoting enough resources to it.

It depends on their taste. I'd say the current league is a bad time to start; so I'd recommend they wait awhile at any rate.

Generally speaking, the game is not well-suited to new players; it has limited tutorials, as it goes on there's lots of complicated mechanics that are poorly explained.

That said, it's still one of the better arpgs on the market in general.

One key question would be their tolerance for complexity, and for looking up things outside the game (and/or dealing with a lot of failure/deaths).

The campaign does allow you to force your way through it tho, which makes it somewhat easier. By which I mean the bosses in the game don't regenerate, and death penalties are low in the basic game plotline, so if you just want to once-thru the game for the main plot, you can do that feasibly enough.

I'm sure you've played literally every hour of the week
no sleep

And you think thats a new Player? LvL 100 in 4-5 Days?
Thank you for remembering me to quit the Game.
Very constructive.
