Please GGG don't instantly nerf everything because guide gamers game journalists think its too hard

100% this is not "too hard" and I am a low skill (old dad gamer) player IMO. its almost certainly player skill issues (so far IMO maybe later in acts it gets bullshit I dunno) I'm guessing lots of the complaints are coming from people who refuse to adapt, they barge into every monster on the screen and expect to 1 button them.
They expect to square up on a boss and hold a button down and can't game for shit or something. Over the years we've seen POE1 league mechanics gutted countless times by knee jerk responses to bad feedback (Delve, Heist, Necromancy Nets many others) because the lousy players who can't throw a net, or can't hold off DPS'ing before they throw a net, or throw a flare in Delve, or look at a stealth meter in heist are sometimes the loudest and quickest to howl on the forums while most REASONABLE people are just getting a feel for things and playing the game. Quick judgements aren't good judgements, I'm holding off myself but my initial impressions as a guy who thinks Ruthless POE1 is too much and Trade POE1 is stupid easy is that POE2 feels pretty good so far. I think a complete failure to adapt or game; doesn't make for good feedback. Yeah in a few days or weeks if everyone thinks its too hard, listen to the feedback. But please don't knee jerk. Alternately: Easy Normal and Hard mode? I kinda think this should be a thing anyway as I'm tired of suffering the balance choices of edge cases like Ben's skill or Cute_Dog's edge case glass cannon speed on either end of the spectrum. Pandering to players who don't want consequences for their mistakes is a perfect description of what went fundamentally wrong with D3 and 4. If they wanted mindless mobile game time waster gameplay they sure did make some perplexing choices and marketing statements for 6 fucking years.

How about us disabled people who can't play it... becuase of stupid one shot machanincs and poor dodge roll.

" I mean no offence, and I'm sorry for your situation, but it's not reasonable to expect a developer to design a game around disabled people. If your disability prevents you from using the dodge button then you will not be able to play this game. | |

campaign needs to be toned down so all the d4 refugees/new folks can make it through and see what an actual endgame looks like.
after that, harder than poe1 for sure please |
|
" well every other ARPG did so... |

The game is not difficult. I died once, and I killed all the bosses except 1 until lvl10 first try with my Warrior. If they make it easier it's going to be dumb. I would actually make it slightly harder.

" Awesome, you have plenty of games to play then. | |
" so you have one eye, and constant pain, and loss of partial use in your left hand and Dyspraxia... good to know. |

I noticed you didn't ask me how they made games for me just told me to leave. Enjoy the game... it won't last. |

" Surely you understand that if the developers balanced the game around you then it would be too easy for 99% of the playerbase? Your situation is horrible, and I do sympathise. I suffer from chronic pain myself, I have to take 12 prescription painkillers and nerve blockers a day just to get out of bed due to severe sciatica, herniated discs and cubital tunnel syndrome, as I type this my right arm is on fire and I can barely feel two of my fingers. After having major surgery I can game again, but not comfortably, there was a long period of time where I could only play point and click games with my left hand and yeah, it sucked, but sometimes you just gotta accept the bad hand you were dealt. I am all for accessibility features, but you can't tune difficulty around a tiny portion of the playerbase. |
