I feel if the game played just a bit faster it could balance out.

I'm sure it will be a bit faster in the lategame.

There is some balancing needed (especially for mele) though.

I really hope this one does not become yet another rush-to-endgame slop like everything else (including PoE1).

I'm all for slower leveling letting you experiment and enjoy the game and different builds. Don't care about "endgame" much.

OTOH, I'm always for easiest as possible way to totally respec character.
Letting players "brick" character without (easy) way to fix it is a bad design.

Keep difficulty the same (or even tune it up a bit on some places) BUT, give us a fast(ish) way to (cheaply) respec and farm gems and/or gold if we need to change a build.

And for struggling players - in game LFG can be a good idea so they can find help for the too hard content (level gated and/or scaled aggressively).

And please keep Pause. It's a family-saver.

I feel like if the character responsiveness was better, it would be fine. Given, I haven't made it that far into the campaign but my character feels like its on roller skates trying to avoid attacks. If they can tighten up the physics and tweak the class balance as needed, it may only need minor adjusting.

Given GGGs track record, they ALWAYS make the game hard and then nerf as needed. This will probably be no different.

+1 (coming for a player less than 1 week into POE1 before arriving here)

playing a minion witch, not sure why other struggling with this class either its fine, i kill the boss's mainly using my spells my minions die, and i dodge and continue to do dps until they respawn, means i have to be on my toes more when they gone and get to relax a bit on their return

please if anything devs, add a snowflake mode if anything for the people who struggle, but scale loot drops accordingly aka give less for less difficulty

do NOT water down the default difficulty

ive only played POE1 for 5 days, i come from a background where i find dark souls too difficult, ive been playing games since the 90's

you game is no where near as hard as a souls game, ive died maybe 6-8 time and im still on act one, each and every death has been because im too low level for the content im doing or i havent found the best way to use my build, each and evey death has made me think about why, go away breifly, make some changes come back and then not die to that current mob

the difficulty is perfect

i think old POE players just are too used to a run and press one button whole screen dies, and it shows, as a new player, your game is not too difficult at all!!

seriously please do not water this down, or if you choose to make it easier make it into the doom equivilent of "I'm to young to die!" for the people who require it, give reduced loot etc everyone is happy!
