im on cruel atm and extremely bored already yeah bosses die fast but there's no loot no currency, nothing so far, slow movement speed dodge shoot repeat boss mechanics

+1, only hard boss so far are the second ascendancy ones, and thats because they just one shot you and rerunning the whole thing is not fast or fun enough to get a second attempt at the Bosses, doesnt help that there 3 of them chosen randomly..

The forum posts say differently, just watch, if they dont change anything at all right now its going to be 70% or more less players in 2 weeks.

Now why FORUMS is where hatred concentrate? BEcause the ones that are liking are playign the game 14 hours per day! Look at steam CHARTS. YEsterday the peak of plaeyrs was HIGHER than the release day!

Like I said, wait 2 weeks and check steam charts.

I want to love the game but its horrible.

It will very likely still be higher than POE1.. that is free.

Arguing with doomers is pointless, they will always be able to throw yet another "it's fine right now, but WAIT a bit and the world will end".

no they have not, game feels good but obviously needs some polish and balance still

It is Early Access for a reason.

Obviously bosses should drop more gear and currency especially when you first kill them in the campaign.
We should get more than 2 Alchemy Orbs, 3 Chaos Orbs, ~20 Exalts in the first 70 levels and more gold.

Just found rare boots with 20ms at the end of act6 and I am zooming with a random thrown together Acolyte of Chayula build now.

The game is much more grounded in battle gameplay. What fun is it if you can instakill monster with bad weapons from the start?
That makes the combination play unvalid. Now you actualy have to:

- upgrade weapons + gear
- Make skill combo's
- Think about your position

The problem that lots of POE1 only gamers are having is bad positioning. You cant relay solo on gear upgrading you actuale have to be good at the battle gameplay. Yes you can dodge roll, but I stoppped using it for better dodge skills.

I realy Hope they dont nerf anything, why?

Im not good at:
- gear upgrading
- gear choice
- weapons choice in general.

I still am able to solo bosses first time, how?

Im good at timing my attacks dodging skills and creating combo's. have spend 20 min with a boss with very bad gear. If they nerf them there is no challenge for me/others like me anymore.

Stop calling it soulslike, it plays alot more like God of War. Start getting better at battle gameplay and you wil love it.

Thanks for the great game!

After about 30+ hours i can say for no doubt i will ever return. thankfully i was given a free Key.

My cons.

Currency...Where is it?

Loot? yeah my big gripe is trying to kill shit and play gold gamble game isn't working the fact that this is whats holding so many back from continueing and sitting on bosses for hours? all because you had Bad Loot is cringe as hell.

Witch/Summoner....man they really hated you this game your pets die in 1hit half the time even with almost 200% max hp boost and almost 60% to All resist...i'm sure in 40+ range it gets better but holy hell it feels bad.

Unq items... Are you for real? half them are useless so if you get one it feels underwhelming most rare items are better by a huge margin...

Rare items..Yeah i seen some crazy ones but so far me and friends playthrough we seen less then 15 drop and were nearly into Act3.

Skills gems....man they do feel weak esp in the witch area...like your better off going sorc//

Support gems... 1 per character??? this kinda dumb what if i wanna use 2 meatshields? i feel the whole limit to 1 in your skills for support gems is kinda dumb.

Overall i have only couple pros the bosses are somewhat fun but the whole dark souls vibe really is lame in an ARPG. having to spam roll through entire room for 6 minutes just to not get 1-2 shot is cringe like if you dont get the gear you are so screwed on bosses and its awful.

Some of the mobs in Act1/Act2 are just cancer as well..

Oh whats with every mob ignoring your pets? what is this crap why even have pets if they ignorem and just walk throughem? if you cant walk through mobs why can they just walk through your pets and kill you???


Either way you shoulden't even be charging people for POE2 EA with current game.

Oh and the Areas reseting and loot getting deleted on death which is a Dark souls mechanic is only something in SP games not MP....is really just dumb i can get this in a soft hardcore but in standard? yikes.

You also shouldent be nerfing abilities yet if you guys are making our characters go into its own EA League when we leave EA just like not nerf shit? instead idk buff the weak abilities... but nope we'll take blizzards approach and nerf the moment we see something.

Overall Not worth the time the gfx looking good can't change minds.

Problem is that you dont understand or cant read, the issue is that its too hard to get upgrades. Not enough loot and Currency is dropping.......

It is much easier to get upgrades in PoE2 than it is in PoE1 and it's not even close. The game rains blues at you and you have nearly infinite transmutes at like level 5. I'm not even disenchanting blues anymore because I can't run out of transmutes even if I smash it on whites constantly.

This guy has no fking clue, I cant even begin to understand how you think its easier to get upgrades in poe 2 compared to 1.. completely derailed from reality.
