No longer wanted to play
|
To me Imm loving it.
I prefer the more slowed pace like D2. The campaign is harder if you rush it. There is no league, there is no need to rush, just enjoy playing. I'm cleaning all the Mal's doing secondary quest, boss bounties, map icons etc..Never feel underpower playing Poison Ranger. Bosses are difficult, yes but not impossible or unfair to me. All dangerous attack can be telegraph with dodge, the fights are engaging. We are just accostumed to go with a OP league build and face tank. Additionally if the bosses in the campaign aren't dummy,.and they are hard bosses, they can be used to drop good loot in the future and not be only 1 kill and will forget it. Just like D2 farming Baals, meohisto and Diablo runs. Other way of farming items i the end game. I love POE but little by little te game become to fast, just running at the speed of sound with AOE that cover the whole screen. Remember POE is game were we know everything . POE2 is EA, we don't have all the tool, we don't know the best builds, skills or gems. Builds will be better. The game will be faster, but I wish that don't become as faster as POE1. For now I'm liking better than POE1 Last edited by Gonzo_Neo#1735 on Dec 8, 2024, 5:43:46 AM

I mostly agree. I thought I would no-life this game every minute of this weekend but I find myself taking several breaks and doing other stuff.
Mostly it is because of what you say, you end up backpedaling even against white mobs. Areas are way too big and killing monsters feels a bit like a chore. I love the story, the bosses are really cool and well designed, but everything has too much HP. I tried creating a new character and just getting to the first area I was like "ugh, I have to go through this again? It was so much work!". My wife who is more casual than me gave up just right after getting to the first town. Even white monsters in the very beginning of the game would screw her up. I assume it's like this for most casuals. Also, for so many skills available in the game I also feel like I don't have as much choice as I thought I would. This could get better once they add all the skills and supports. I imagine they will tune the monster/boss HP within the upcoming weeks/months and the game will be much better for everyone. It is early access after all, and the foundation for a really good game is there, no doubt. I think it will be good in the end. Path of Excel warrior

Feels like they've spend all that time on the mindblowingly fantastic graphics and nothing else yet. On Twitter they've posted that they are now playing along with us... Who did the playtesting before the Alpha came out though?

I am going to give it a week and then I am uninstalling. I don't understand why there is not an npc with 1000 of each currency, essences and uniques to test. the lack of drops I think is ruining the experience. its not a real league and i dont feel like farming so i can test something for free.

Its very hard to disagree with this post.

" Dark Souls games are NOT GOOD VIDEO GAMES man... any game that forces you to play a brutal difficulty level without your consent and tells you that dying 150 times and raging until you beat a game is "the pinnacle of gaming" is a BAD GAME... and Dark Souls fans are mentally unstable people... they're the Asmongolds of this world... and gaming companies may think they're the best player base to have but in an ARPG that needs to be replayed again and again if you lose the chill gamers that play for fun and to craft fun builds then your game will die FAST!!! |
|
" Oh I'll tell you... the playtesting was done by no-lifers, streamers and people who wanted the game to be the best game possible to make money on Twitch and don't give a shit about having fun... All in all this game will be hyped for a few months and then will die as people will move to some other "Dark Souls wannabe" game and then GGG will be crying at us "why aren't you playing our games anymore?" and it will be too late!!! |
|
" Don't count on it... Devs will be so happy with all the streamer praise and all the "git gud" sweaty virgins that praise their lords and saviors (streamers) on Youtube and Twitch that they will tell us "you're not customers anymore... we love our new sweaty children more" and we'll be kicked out as disgusting plebs and filthy casuals and when the sweatlords will go to the next "Dark Souls wannabe game" GGG will come crying back to us telling us "why aren't you playing our games anymore???" and it will be too late!!! |
|
" And I hope they will keep it that way. Don't make this game another zoomzoom 1 tap whole screen crap like in PoE 1. | |
" We dont need to make poe 1.2 but the combat should get faster. The trash mobs should become faster to kill. Not instant one taps but faster. Maybe we could start by lowering their numbers a bit, even bosses spawn tons of them. |
