Absolutely disapointed -- This game is hard, and not in a fun way.

After all the hype and this is what we got ? I know its early access I really really hope things will change but if they don't, its not the game for me I can accept that. Also I don't know if I can go back to POE1 knowing that there is not really ever going to be successor that bring me the same joy from playing. Unless it changes poe is pretty much dead to me.

They make the game less complicated but made the game play 5x harder. The great thing about POE1 fore me was I could progress get stronger and not have to spend 2 hours farming to get thru one boss. Only to have to the the same thing 2 hours later. The player numbers are the only thing that matters, if GGG can make money with whatever the player count ends up being they will keep it hard. If they can't make money they will make it easier and hope they did not scare off new players and old poe players alike. But its been a big big disappointment for me after looking forward to it for years.

Edit yep just did 3 more boss attempts got them down under 10% life and got killed no longer fun at all just frustrating. (maybe let me gain flask charges in a boss fight if they are going to this difficult . To add fuel to this fire I learned to ascend I have to do sanctum my least favorite poe1 mechanic. Wonder if GGG does refunds this game is not for me.

Clown take. It's hard for non gamers. Victor Vran is harder than this.

All the biggest PoE streamers and players have commented on how hard it is.

So suggesting that only noobs are finding it difficult is the actual clown take.

Ultimatum trial is way overtuned. Campaign trials shouldn't be difficult to the point you'll have to double back when you're 2x the area level, they should be something you look forward to as you build the base of your character (level 44 monk player).

i guess steelmage is a dogwater poe player too then right?

he's been about to quit multiple times already today.

I had enough of the Titan boss of Act 2, like 15 mins fightin avoiding mechanics, doing 200 dmg to a boss with 10 million? WTF

Then the stupids bombs came, of course

To die when it is at like 10% of HP because running out of potions...

Nah, not gonna do it all over again and again, I'm playing an arpg not a stupid From Software abusive boss fest.

My god, I can't believe what I'm gonna say but yes, the guy from Blizzard was right on his tweet...

To clarify, Playing a Warrior lvl 25, 62% physicall dmg reduction, 850 life, 40% all elemental resistances, playing with the node that allows a 2 handed weapon + shield...

I'm done with this boss and probably with this game

If the titan boss took you 15 minutes and you do 200 damage it sounds like your build is just one of the worst things ever created.

Definitely put some points into offense/fix your gear and try it again.

200 dmg per hit

Don't troll me, the build is absolutly fine and it owns packs of mobs like fine brise

I picked a lot of dmg nodes, hitting with a 2 hander, gear is good

Troll bad troll
try again

Titan boss is absolutely DISGUSTING

The boss in the Valley of the Titans zone? If yes, then this was probably the boss that gave me least trouble as a warrior because the design is so damn incompetent.

When you stand right in front of the boss, basically hugging the boss, you can ignore all mechanics except for one (when he shoots the red thingies, just don't stand directly in front of him and you're fine).

I literally killed the boss by keeping the left mouse button pressed, except when I had to move slightly to the side (twice).

I guess I am not the intended audience. 5-10 deaths per boss. Made it to the eternal cemetery and couldn't kill a boss in the tunnels before it. Dreading fighting another boss. Hard is fine, but I'm not one of the "I turn the monitor off, and use a 1990's Nintendo controller while wearing oven mits." crowd of people. I see zero chance of making it out of act 1. I just don't want to play it anymore

The end-game has 1-try map bosses or they are locked. Nope. No way. I'll have every node locked.
