Feedback for POE2 from a noob player. It's to hard for me..

It's to hard for me..
This is my personal opinion. First of all i would like to say that i love poe1, in my limited time that i played it, i liked it a lot. Regarding POE2, great work GGG, i have no words to describe how beautiful it is and how well done is. Money well spent. I won't ask for a refund but after ACT1 i can't play it, i even tried multiple chars, and even forced me into CRAFTING (crazy, I'm not a crafter in POE1). I'm sorry that i am not a professional gamer or a streamer, or a expert who can play it for 10h/20h +++ just in one day. It's not fun anymore, even with this forced crafting, i managed to have good stats and items, farmed my ass for orbs and items, just to get 1 shot from a normal boss? not event the ACT 1 final boss.... In my limited time that i have besides life and work, it's not fun after 8h of work, and another X hours of what I'm doing with my life to came to a game i waited for so long.. and also get frustrated here in a game, it's not healthy, because of what, I'm forced into this Dark Souls dodge roll thing which I'm not good at, crafting (i can get past this one), and BASIC ATTACK has more damage than SKILLS. I finished on 2 chars ACT1, and most of the ACT2 with one of the chars, USING ONLY BASIC ATTACK..... man that's boring, and very sad... you forced me to use only basic attack.... it was boring but also beautiful because I'm curios, I'm a fan. I wanna see the rest of the game, but not basic attacking everything like i done this Saturday and Sunday (2 days wasted). I respect you a lot GGG but please do something for the Noobs, i don't say i want an easy versions, just a normal one, not a Hard one with a check mark on Dark Souls style which it's adored by the PROs or streamers..... (English not my first language sorry for any mistakes) It's to hard for me.. This is my personal opinion.

Pretty much sums up where I am at with it too. I haven't managed to kill the Act 1 boss yet. Have reached it on every class except Warrior but can't kill it.
There's no ACTION in this RPG. It's a slow slog through endless waves of mobs that can you kill far too easily. A souls-like game can be cool (though this lacks the well crafted lore of a Souls game) but only for a relatively small audience to play - the rest of us just admire it on YouTube or Twitch! Tune it down a bit and ten times as many players can and will play long term. |

A2 mine boss melee attack is pure bad design. You need to roll out of it 4 time in a row or die in a single hit unless you are very tanky. Which is questionable to do so with this lack of crafting option.
One thing GGG forget completely is Soul-like game are not complete random. It's handmade craft map, enemy position and give option to overcome it. Integrate it in ARPG with a lot of random is a bad idea to begin with. It's like downgrade from PoE1 to be a mod Diablo 2 to make it 'try harder' version. I appreciate the risk to try something new, but new thing don't mean its good. Slow in, slow out cuz I'm just a player.

I've progressed a little, but not much, further than you and I'm in a similar boat.
I think the game is awesome .. for the targeted audience .. unfortunately I'm not part of the audience that GGG is targeting. I'm currently OK with "minor tweaks" here & there to the game as nothing is perfect in EA. Maybe a little more loot? Maybe pushing the trade site a little harder? Maybe allowing "run" if monsters aren't nearby?? While I can technically progress the game -- I've not died more than 5 or 6 times to anything and there are even some bosses that I'll do deathless the fun vs. reward for the boss fights isn't there for me. Add to it that I'm not strong at "dodging" and having Sanctum block ascension was the last nail in the coffin. I'm sure if I tried hard enough [all week?] I could at least make it to the end boss but if I don't do that fight LITERALLY PERFECTLY I'll lose the whole thing anyway. "What's the point" as Sirius (sp?) might say. |

I get your point, OP, but I cannot fully agree on this one with you.
Most of the time ppl are struggling with the game, be it PoE2 or PoE1! or damn hell ANY GAME, is their lack of attention. Most of the bosses are doable, one just needs to pay attention to their devastating attacks and be prepared to move out, IT'S NOT ABOUT GEAR, crafting, or HOURS of HC PRO PLAY, it's just basic focus of a human. I remember back in PoE 1 a guy teaches how to kill different bosses, with a NAKED WITCH, be it Kitava, Malachai, SIRUS!!! etc. It is not about offending you or anyone having difficulties putting down bosses, it's about different approach and not just standing and pressing one button and facetanking anything and waiting that the devs will forge the game to such a faceroll gameplay. We would end up with D3-D4... Yes, this game is hard, yes, you can get one shot, YES. That's how it was in PoE1, D2, and is in PoE2. Even "Unkillable" ultra-expensive high-end characters get killed in PoE1, and that's GOOD. If you guys thing I being a pro, or looking down at you... know that I myself have never made it to the END-GAME, never killed any end-game boss, never progressed thru whole atlas, etc. so no, I am not a snobbish toxic player that just laughs at you and tells you are just lame and L2P. I have played the game yesterday, for many hours straight, and after 3-4 deaths on many bosses I told myself, OH CRAP I QUIT, Oh crap I need party for that boss to bring it down, oh crap that is just too harsh and OP mob, oh crap I need to overlevel to be able to handle this or that. Turned out no. I just had to be patient, be more focused, chill, and pay attention and the bosses died. And I had my flasks not depleted, nor my life, nor my minon army slaughtered. I had not come to A1 final boss yet, so maybe I will change my mind after tonight gameplay, but something tells me it will be no different to any other boss before, be it in PoE2 or PoE 1 or D2, or WoW. GL and don't give up. btw. look up the naked witch boss kill tutorials on yt. it's worth it ;) Playing for joy ♥

" Let us know how you get on with the Act 1 boss. I have a feeling your tune will change |
|

My highest lvl character in PoE 1 is lvl 61.
I went into PoE 2 blind, and am making my own build decisions, and I have been falling in love with it the longer I play. I am at the end of act 3, and clear every zone I reach, besides the Colossus treasure or whatever it's called, because it's bugged. GG GGG! Fyi I'm playing Sorc. |

" Done. On a 3rd try, nothing hard. \_(°L°)_/ so yes. Just what I said. Awareness. Patience. Focus. Attention. Went into 2nd phase right on 1st try, I just made a hard fail and forgot myself in time and died due to my inactivity. On the 2nd try I've made a mistake and died, didn't moved when he jumped/leaped in his wolf phase. So much about your feelings ;) My tune didn't changed.
Spoiler
How to f*** are we suppossed to post pictures on this forum, omg! 21st century... and we still use this prehistoric forum code style back from 90's... O_o

" " Cool, great to see you managed without too much difficulty. I was curious what you're reaction to how long the fight was might've been. Compared to the earlier fights it sure took a lot of attention. By the end of it I needed a break. Last edited by RagingKiwi#5400 on Dec 12, 2024, 12:38:36 AM
