Poe is overrated and i think it was better before

1. melee is a joke and many reasons for that. It is so sad that you ggg sacrifised that for what.....?! a screen full of ranged gameplay with absolute chaos on the screen. Maybe poe 2 is gonna be the greatest arpg because poe 1 is not, it is not even in the category arpg, it is no roleplaying when ranged is the only way. I havent played Borderlands games but that is maybe a game poe should be compared to instead of Diablo, grimdawn etc....Borderlands is also a arpg with only ranged.

2.playing melee and honestly the game is imho too unfair because i do that , honestly i sit with this feeling too often playing this game, maybe if i copied other peoples builds i would living in my own bubble too thinking i am great in this game but i dont like that why bother playing if its not my own creation if it makes sence. It feels like Heartstone sometimes, forced meta......this alone is really bad.

3. The game looks absolutely awful, its just too much chaos and colors and crap going on, i simply hold attack button in and hope for the best because i cant see shiiitttt. It looks so incredible childish, the more colors and drama on the screen the better, thats poe. The game gets just worse and worse imho, poe looked more like the dream game for me years ago earlier in the development of the game, now not even close to that. ( strange but it seems like every developer destroys their game ). Tone down everything ggg your game looks like its been made by a child ( what were you thinking did you seriously plan to have this mess ). Ugly ugly visually game you know that scary atmosphere in the old diablo games, some of the reasons it was like that is because the freaking screen was not a chaotic mess!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played diablo3 but it got boring fast. Poe is a better game but it looks just silly. Honestly i started to play poe because of d3=bad as many have. Poe is supposed to be the best arpg atm, is it really????????

4. I understand that some of you like the crafting in the game, i dont. I sell all my crafting stuff, i dont craft at all, i havent learned it and i never gonna do it either. Never!!!!!!!! I am not a gambler in real life and in games, not only that i simply dont want to waste my precious time to learn this gambling type of crafting that is in poe. Second reason is that its comically expensive to craft if you dont know what to do with this system. So i simply excluded the concept of crafting in this game and pretend in my little bubble playing this so called arpg it does not exist.

5. Tradeing, we live in 2024 ggg you know the rest of this obvious critisism.

5. The servers and very awful playing experience of lag and all the crap we have to endure because of modern day games which is online, i like the way Grimdawn did it offline. Poe can do it too, that will make the game twice as good because now we dont have to be tortured by your shitty servers ggg


Thank you ggg for the great fun you provided me with your free game, i loved your game some years ago, This maybe sounds weird but sometimes the more you work on a product it doesnt always gets better. Atm my money is still and have for a very long time been in my pocket safe.

My wish: i want to buy poe1 as an offline game just like Grimdawn, i also want poe to have a edit the game option so i can balance the game myself playing the game.

Now I don't feel bad being the only person on the forum who feels the same way. The closest thing we had to real crafting without the gambling, or at least without extremely high stakes gambling, was Harvest league before GGG gutted it in 3.14. You actually had control over what you wanted to craft and it costed next to nothing to do.

Now it's gone, the crafting mechanic reduced to a slot machine for fucking divination card duplication. What a tragic waste of otherwise amazing potential.

I missed out on that, was away for some years after. It looks like to me that ggg has balanced crafting around mirror tier gear and their precious 1% playerbase which plays 12+ hours a day, no wonder its so expensive and hard to roll good affixes when having much much less resources than them and that its kinda like ggg vs poe eliteplayers, we other 99% just live in their world. ( heres another reason for me that i dont spend much money on poe, because the game is not balanced around the 99% well then i guess ggg is not interested in the money from the 99 % oh wait lol they do lol , too bad they are not gonna get more from me atleast )

And GGG is certainly not doing themselves any favors convincing the 99% that the game isn't being catered towards the wealthy elite when they keep putting out leagues where you're becoming more forced to engage in content that requires significant gear investment to complete.

First we had challenges that require you kill uber bosses. Now a very useful mechanic, 5th slot on map device, was taken out of Legion and put into T17 maps. These maps were meant to be a bridge between normal bosses and ubers, but instead they're just as bad if not worse than ubers.

"Just pay for carry service 5head" some will argue. You shouldn't have to pay someone to complete content for you just so you can get access to something that was available to literally everyone not too long ago. Not only that, but paying for carry services cheapens the experience of the game. This should not be encouraged, yet GGG is making it increasingly necessary. It reminds me of the dark ages of pre-3.9.0 (Metamorph league), when the only way to really progress through the atlas was that you must buy maps from other players since self-sustain was impossible once you reach T11+.

Clearly you need to move on because this game is never going to be for you.

It was for a long time a game that i really liked.

When i came from d3 years ago, i played poe from year 2 or so in the poe development. It was great its a long time ago now and the game has changed so much, now the game is another game completely and ggg did go the opposite way than i hoped they would do. I was hoping they were going to make poe slightly more like diablo, more scary, but they made instead the cow level game, many bright colors and much cool sounds and visual effects. And to top it off lets put the whole damn screen full of it non stop.....

Crafting ? Lol

This is casino slot simulator for gambling addicts 🫡

Yet the game steadily grows, has an ever increasing playerbase and arguably is in a very good state to continue those trends.

It is interesting that you quit D3 and consider it to be a bad game, game that was balanced around 99%. There is also Diablo 4 balanced around 99% - have you tried it?
