Came to these forums to post about the Mad Wolf fight and I see someone did on page 3. If you want to be like Dark Souls that's fine, there's an audience for that, but it ain't me. I do enough hard work at actual work, I don't need to slog through 50 fights until I get it JUST RIGHT and don't eat it.

As a witch there's like 20 possible things that can end the Mad Wolf fight, it's a huge pain in the ass and if that's the kind of game this is gonna be, enjoy my 60 bucks because I'm out.

Witch here. Died once, learned from it, killed it.

Perhaps learn from the things and dodge.

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.
