I am worried that GGG might listen to the whiny "game too difficult :(" crowd

Not to mention, that if the game does not feel good in the first few hours, people will leave and not come back. It won't matter that law average finally takes effect at the 50 hour mark if your loot experience before that makes your experience so miserable you don't want to play for 50 hours.

Your loot before that will mostly be whites.
If you get blues, you either use them, or disenchant them.
You then use the orbs to get the affixes you like.
Hope this helps :)

My guy, you're the one who will barely play this game. There are veterans here that have played for over a decade with valid criticism of a game and not complaining about "difficulty". Many people with valid complaints made it to maps already and gone far with multiple characters. Meanwhile you've barely made it to maps in PoE 1. Go be a tourist somewhere else.

I too can leave my client open, or sit around chatting. It's how I have 5800 hours in POE1, large portions of it are with the game sitting open all weekend while I do other things.

Cool, that has nothing to do with this post though.
Glad you got that off your chest though.

That being said, I think the worst mistake they made was calling this POE2. I wouldnt have paid money to get in the early access had it been called a new name and marketed as a slower, more hardcore ARPG. I would have known it wasnt for me and moved on.

I have a question on that. You do enjoy POE1 right?
Getting a Early access key for POE2 is giving you the exact same currency you use on POE1. And seeing how many supporter packs you own its not like you are never spanding money on POE. So its more like you spend some more money on POE1 and got to try our POE2. Or would you have never spent a single $ on POE1 ever again if they named it... eh... Dark Diablos 1 instead of POE2?

I mean its totally fine if you wound not have tried out the game. But making it sound like you "wasted" that money... dunno.

You are a troll promoting a dead stream.

Maybe next season you can stream yourself completing the atlas since you've played ONE character to level 86 since harvest.

Yes, instead only listen to the top 10%-ers. I'm not sure why you think having someone research every system in the game and spend 80 hours watching videos is required for playing act 1 of a video game.

I get that for end game, and elite level content, but starting, nope. POEII was SUPPOSED fix the unapproachability issues of POE1. Instead it doubled down and made it more hardcore. I get the the hardcore crowd love having 'whinny' people quit, since it's makes them feel better about their own skill, but that is not a path (get it) for long term success. D4 sold 3.5 million copies, why, because anyone could pick it up and just play it.

You don't know what "promoting" means.
I've suggested buying a dictionary before.

You don't get drops, you don't get orbs, you don't get gold, your gear stagnates. You need 10 blues for one orb. Gold income is so bad you have to sell multiple inventories worth of items to purchase a single item. No drops then you suffer. Get drops, you proceed smoothly. The game won't feel good to the former and they will not last to see it even out, while the latter will have the resources to manage when it swing back the other way for him.
