Well, if you want to play Ruthless that's fine, it's your choice... but it should be a CHOICE... if all the game has is Ruthless mode then the game will die very very fast because Ruthless is also tedious, time consuming, unrewarding and has very very little replayability because it's such a slow grind... The game right now caters ONLY to the top 1% of no-lifers that want to play this tedious, annoying slog fest every season... Don't look at the initial hype... most of the players will be tired of this very very VERY soon!!! This game will NOT live for 10 years off of Dark Souls raging virgins... This game will survive ONLY through the original dedicated PoE fanbase!!	Posted by Blade_Dancer_90#3602 on Dec 9, 2024, 5:16:39 AM Quote this Post

This game will survive ONLY through the original dedicated PoE fanbase!! I am a Souls player, and GGG is missing the point. They are single player games with no endgame so the campaign is everything, these games are so hard you mostly fight 1 mob at a time, and you play the game in 3rd person, so boss fights look and feel epic. PoE is a top-down isometric ARPG where each map contains hundreds of mobs and players are conditioned from D1 and D2 to believe we're supposed to clear maps quickly and fight as many mobs as possible at once. The whole genre is supposed to be about feeling powerful and being rewarded generously, now it's the opposite.

" Belurges#7110 wrote: It IS Ruthless. Of Course. This is fine. Good for the 'reset'. They just need to tweak/fix the mechanics and put leash on the psychopaths in the office. (Mainly the Zealot, The Sadist and the Claustrophiliac. Could be all one guy.) Note, that if you know the loot engine, just like in Ruthless you can farm bosses or mobs to get stuff. GGG. it is in the name..... so.... Basically you have to play alot longer to do anything. PoE 2 is not for fun or casual players. You just need to treat it as a second job if you want to play it. Yeah, I get it. Conflating the joy of obtaining goals as enjoying the grind, is in the same league as conflating simplify with stupify and balance with backtrack and restriction, but hey, they always had issues, and with Tencent in and Chris out.... No Intelligence Over-ride to keep them in check or push them to fix..... Biggest let-down was expectation of something alot less janky... smoother. Some of the jank can be fixed with support gems, but you can only have one each, so you have to loose your fun and choices to fix bad mechanical. Most developers poop on their potential, but luckily, unlike them GGG has consistently brought out new potential to replace the lost past potential. I hope that all parties involved realize; given time, all things become copied and out of date and loose value. GGG should have cleaned house and brought their best for this one, but instead bailed the commander and left it for 'others'. Whatever happens with this game is going to be the be all and end all for their career, maybe even their life. It is going to either set them up for life or it is going to make them a Jester to glorify those who have left or moved on. Someone has clearly just been midlessly grinding and hasn't spent enough time pondering and is loosing sight of the goal. On the other hand someone else has spent too much time basking in the glory of other peoples work and needs get off his cardboard pedestal and start listening and interacting with staff and grind and put some effort in. GGG became great as a New Zealand company. It will loose everything if it becomes a chinese face-maker company for a bitsa and tencent. Wake the @#$% up both of you! lol If the game is not made for fun then the devs are psychotic morons who don't understand gaming or ARPGs... Games need to be FUN... not a chore, not an "accomplishment" and not "bragging rights" among the most mentally ill gamers that only know 2 words with dogshit spelling (git gud)... If GGG can't even understand that their long time fans are the only ones that will keep this game alive then they're in for a very rude awakening... Also people forget that GGG literally just said "it's gonna be more challenging" while not specifying how because they knew PoE fans would hate it but they also needed them to purchase those 100$ support packs... so they love to steal our money but they also now don't want us as customers... brilliant, right? They value the sweatlords, the Asmongolds and the "git gud" moronic army of sweaty virgins now and they're telling us "either git gud or leave... we don't want weak players here... we want the giga chads" Well, the giga chads (or rather giga losers) will stay for a few months until the next hype will come out... the next Black Myth Wukong... or how about Monster Hunter Wilds? This game will be a MASSIVE hit and hugely anticipated... how many of the giga chads will play Path of Dark Souls instead of the masterpiece that Monster Hunter Wilds is bound to be??? Yeah... devs are in for a very VERY rude awakening!!!	Posted by Blade_Dancer_90#3602 on Dec 9, 2024, 5:28:01 AM Quote this Post
PoE2 isn't ruthless, PoE1 actually has good character customization options on the tree - but PoE2 has almost ZERO specific damage nodes. It is so bad that it is almost impossible to scale certain skills. (for example there is no "damage over time" or "debuff" damage anywhere on the tree to scale "currupting cry", there is only "ailment" damage but currupted blood isn't an "ailment") The only place in the tree that looks like the devs gave it ANY love is the witch/sorc which is not only the only place to find elemental damage, it is also the only place to find PHYSICAL damage(and only a few nodes of it too). PoE1 ruthless also has a lot of actually good uniques that are build arounds, but I have looked at the unique pool for PoE2 and it is rather boring. TL'DR PoE1 ruthless actually rewarded you with SOMETHING Last edited by doombybbr#6074 on Dec 9, 2024, 5:33:05 AM	Posted by doombybbr#6074 on Dec 9, 2024, 5:29:46 AM Quote this Post
