Why Are People Crying?

More than likely it's the new crowd from Diablo 4, that just want a Vampire Survivor type game, instead of something you actually have to think about.

This is a fantastic game!
Keep up the good work GGG!

wanted to add up to OP, the game is great, im currently enjoying playing even more in such slower pace. Thanx ggg

It's literally not, it's more of a souls-like, after 30 hours i think Rod Fergusson was right.
And yes, it's a departure from POE1 and many players that enjoyed it feel like they aren't the target audience for this game.

When i say Diablo-like i don't mean D4-like. Diablo 2 players will definitely tell you that PoE2 is a true Diablo-like. Just because a game has a souls-like element doesn't make it souls-like, it just means it has a souls-like element.

Honestly the game reminds me alot of poe1 when it just came out. Game was alot harder back then and not the i 1 shot rush the campaign fiesta it is now.

Also for me the game reminded me to play the game and not watch netflix while clicking a bit in the game.

Because that is when i die to random trashmob z who blasted me with some nasty skill i could have evaded (by walking out of the way)

Type /deaths and post it with your character level OP I wanna see if you're legit or not.

D2 had 3 difficulties, PoE2 only has Hell mode .. not remotely a case of PoE2 following D2's lead.

D3 and D4 by comparison are barely 'Normal' except for their anemic end-games so again, PoE2 has no relation to those.

Nope, PoE2 is nothing like a 'diablo like' in terms of playability.

Adding a dodge does not make it a souls like. Hell difficulty doesn't even make it a souls like. This is an ARPG with a dodge roll (and that isn't even new). The game relies far too much on rng for gearing which plays far too much of a role in how powerful your character is for it to be a souls-like

Mad cuz bad. Essentially.

The truth is that there are a lot of bad gamers out there. When they can copy a build, hold a button, and clear entire screens it makes them feel like good gamers. Now that they can't, they realize they are bad. Instead of improving their skills, they would rather cry that the game is bad.

I am reading many threads and i am totally agree with this. Most of players who arew crying are lvl 20 or lower. People dont want to calculate, using brains, thinking. They want to chill and rolling face over keyboard and got everything and kill everything. Sad.

The game is brilliant even now in EA, and no other ARPG even close to it. Thanks GGG.
