OK I give in, this is just not a game for ARPG fans

I can't slog through yet another HP bloated boss. It is just not fun in any way.
As a long time fan of PoE and ARPGs I will just have to accept that this game is not made for me.

It's a real shame. It could have been so great.

I saw one of the apologists in an other thread defending the game by saying that everything is fine because he could do act 1 in 12 hours. Yeah...

This game is not made for ARPG players, it is made for something else. There is no reason to keep playing unless you really like it because it will not get any better as you progress.

Just leave. The game will either be lost to irrelevance or the devs will make very drastic changes and you will have a much better time exploring and playing the game for the first time at that point. Either way there is no point in sticking around and trying to force it to become fun.

You'll always have PoE 1 where you can press a button and explode a full screen of mobs with zero skill involved.

Thats the sad part. We all wanted poe with extra stuf and smoother and prettier and without the slog of poe.

We got a poe like soul game catered to hard cores.

If your damage is low, you gotta figure out why. When the game has been out longer and there are more build guides it will be a lot easier.

That's what ARPG are all about, progress your character to a point where you become a god living among mere mortals, one tap and clear 3 screens. If people wanted to play soulslike there are thousand of them. Nobody is going to redo this ruthless mode every league on multiple characters trust me.

Field bosses are fine. Act bosses are a bit tough. Use strategy and get to know their attacks. They remind me of Innocence from POE 1. "I am your god!" required you to dodge always. I would say the act 1 boss could be reduced in HP. When he went to wolf form he should have had the HP you got him to and not reset totally.

Otherwise your choice go back to the other game.

Ah, a PoE tourist. Thanks for stopping by!

We run a HCSSF gauntlet in PoE 1 and would love for an elite gamer like yourself to join us. Come show shit players like Ben and imexile how bad they truly are.

Eh I have played 4 classes through Act 1 and each time i was much faster. There is some tuning needed but its early access. I think you are just looking for a game where you get the meta build and kill everything and feel superior. POE 1 already does that. No need to wait for POE 2.

Yep. And not even good as a soul game, the gameplay is really shit compared to the proper action games. The hybridization does not work well with the PoE-style of starting as a slow and low powered character.
