This game is exactly what GGG promised. If it turned out to be something entirely different, it's on you because you didn't do your research. For one I think the game is easier than it should be.

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.

And then they would wine the same way about endgame, so what's the point? :) Even for them, it's better to show right away what the game is.

The Mad Wolf is unkillable as Witch with minions. Too much dmg especially on fog phase. Sadly this will turn me off from the game.

with minions only as main dmg dealers? ya, it's gonna be tough. luckily they gave us like 20 skill slots. mix it up and it's still hard, but not undoable. the game is definitely feeling like you're gonna need the alternate layout stuff for more than just cramming gems you're never gonna use in there to lvl up and dump on the market

I want a summoner, not a spellcaster with minions. The summoner's role should be solely to create/maintain minions, buff them, and debuff the enemy. If you have to directly contribute to damage, your minions have failed their task, and you have failed in being a summoner.

I agree but the clas/ascendency isn't there yet. Maybe they'll add a pure summoner class or skills later on but from what I can see right now, the game isn't made for that play style of cast, lean back and watch creations melt game, profit. (yet? Dunno maybe it'll come). And this is coming from someone who wanted to do the same summoner style but realized pretty quick that minions alone ain't carrying at the moment.

Will you link me the article of GGG's explicit promise to make sure minions were literal trash on release? I'd find that quite the interesting read.

I didn't play minions in poe 2 and I don't know about their state, if they're actually trash they'll be buffed for sure. The game is in early access and is not supposed to be balanced for everyone.

They stated many times, that this is early access and there certainly will be some balance problems at the start. Also, when you buy the game you can see "Early access".

Yes, and instead of the issue of making sure a character can get through the game without having a stroke from stress is more important than a slam skill doing too much DPS and needing nerfed. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case according to their latest announcement. You'd think a group of people with 12 years of game development wouldn't regress back to their roots. I guess that's too much to ask though.

I dont think the game is too hard but I do feel some of the trash mobs tank far too much dmg just my opinion

You think the game should have be designed around initial balance issues? That would be stupid :)

I personally don't think the majority of players have an expectation everything will be "perfect" at the early access.

What's frustrating is people saying minion builds are nerfed on purpose because it "nullifies content".

Which is complete horse shit...
