Early Access Feedback - POE2 feels like you guys took all the complaints of POE1 and turned those into the core concepts - Forum

I swear I wish GGG didn’t say a word about mtx now spoilt brats like you can make comments like this.

I am so glad POE1 was not turned into this, thank you for whoever allowed us to keep POE1 because that will be the only POE for me I’ve not been one shot by a boss. I’ve not run out of flask charges more than twice so far and that’s only when I was spamming them, I even think they have too many charges. Campaign should not be a 30 minute fucking run, your brain is just scuffed and you can’t handle not being rewarded every 3 seconds. Poe1 is not poe2, changes should be expected. Poe2 is not hard, [Removed by Support]. Whilst I have my own gripes about crafting and all that, I don’t think you’ve even finished campaign and actually started properly crafting to even make a fair comparison… Last edited by Cameron_GGG#0000 on Dec 8, 2024, 3:38:35 PM	Posted by HowToGusta#6151 on Dec 7, 2024, 6:41:03 AM Quote this Post

Whilst I have my own gripes about crafting and all that, I don’t think you’ve even finished campaign and actually started properly crafting to even make a fair comparison… You know, first impression matters. Your insulting tone as much as the start of this new game. On one hand, there are players who got charmed by the tedium of POE2, and on the other hand, there seems to be a good chunk of the playerbase, some of it which played religiously the first game, that don't enjoy the second game for all the reasons OP posted. So it probably won't be back for more. Will the 'just gid gud' playerbase come back religiously at every new league, ready to redo the campaign from scratch? I doubt it. And before you insult me as well, no, I have not reached the endgame, I have not seen the crafting apart from some transmutation and alt. I'm trying different skills, to see if anything clicks. If nothing does, well, I'll be gone. Because I agree with most of the OP's woes.	Posted by Zrima#5000 on Dec 7, 2024, 7:30:43 AM Quote this Post
I lurked in a stream for drops because I ain't playing early access so take my agreement with the op as a grain of salt but ggg really missed the ball on a lot of this stuff. Like just take flasks, for example, in poe1 you can have 4 or 5 life flasks so even the worst ones would give you like 800-1000ish extra health at level 1 when the hp pool is like 75. Sure in the endgame we would usually have 4 buffing flasks, but in the campaign life flasks let you make mistakes when fighting bosses and rares without dying all the time. Poe2 looks like it is in a dire state of balance. I don't want to be overwhelmingly negative, but just want to express my thanks to the testers. Hope you all have fun issues notwithstanding.

" Sometimes, you just have to admit you’re shit and complain too much. All we can do is compare against what we know, but damn, if I ever saw a whining post, it’s this one. take a look in the mirror, tough guy Last edited by Redd_Barr#6135 on Dec 7, 2024, 11:08:30 AM	Posted by Redd_Barr#6135 on Dec 7, 2024, 11:08:01 AM Quote this Post
you forget, to much RNG, let's make it more RNG and lets do it in the worst possible way possible. A new gem system that sucks ass with less choices then before. Indeed Diablo like.

Impressive comment, certainly not "like this" one:) You need to level up sense of humor. On topic, so far end boss of act 1 has its mist phases way too often, needlessly prolonging the fight and putting big strain on low-level character's recovery. People familiar with the system from poe1 will complete it fine, but I cannot understand how in GGG opinion is this boss fine for new players. Since now you cannot even swap and level up skill gems quickly from vendor, have to trade or farm them.	Posted by Echothesis#7320 on Dec 7, 2024, 1:13:36 PM Quote this Post
PoE 2 is not an update of PoE 1. That's why you are frustrated. You expected your speed, your build, your damage, your habits. You are wrong in all of the above. We can't judge PoE 2 in comparison with the first one. It's not the same kind of game.	Posted by achmoye#3544 on Dec 7, 2024, 2:13:59 PM Quote this Post
