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

Why ggg kept poe one for you.
Great company. 👍

Luckily for you, other games exist.


Like? Give us an example? Diablo 4 is trash, Last Epoch is still trying to figure out itself. What other ARPGS are out there that we can try?

But you know what I CAN name? Dozens upon dozens of souls like clones. So maybe you go and play Character action RPGS like all the souls like and leave the only functional ARPG on the market to us?

We payed for it with all the supporter packs, we were here for every league even failed ones and we supported GGG through it. We, not tourists like you.

Why people are "soulsliking" this game? It's just not here. A boss wrecked you? I mean yeah, adapt and overcome! Bosses are nowhere near Dark Souls like. They're actually very PoE like.

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.

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.


Totally disagree. There would be no point making POE 2. Just put better graphics on POE and call it done. Not really what would merit a new game. And I found the cameplay to be great. Not sure what you are having issues with.


You don't remember that PoE2 was originally meant to be an addon? They've already changed it from what it was.

The point of PoE2 was to allegedly 'correct' mistakes that GGG thinks keeps players from jumping into PoE1. They think PoE1 is too bloated, too hard to get into, but it's still PoE.

So telling people to 'go back to PoE' is kinda defeating GGG's intent. I get that you want to gatekeep what you think is a 'hArDcOrE gAmE' for your elitist pleasure, but sadly, that's not what GGG wants.

Yeah, no, thank you. I can adapt to a hard uber boss, not to an HP bloat with one shot mechanics I just need to dodge with a slow dodge roll. We've been dodging Shapers, Elders, Mavens and others way before and at least these bosses had mechanics you could learn.

Which is to say, bloated, overtuned and currently not fun. Which in pure GGG fashion means they will be nerfing the bosses to make it easier.

To be fair, and I may have been overly harsh in other posts, but This IS early access and things will change. Better, worse? We'll see.

Heck, there's like what, maybe 4-6 weapon types? Wands, 2 types of Staves, Crossbows, Bows, Maces? We're going to get more content.

There's a catch. PoE2 bosses also have mechanics you can learn.

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


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.

Are those people also crying rivers of tears because they can't beat some easy ass boss?

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.


This is completely false. The game feels a lot like Diablo 2 in all the positive ways. It is obvious you never bothered playing Diablo 2.
It is not like Diablo 2 in any way. I played D2 when it was released and have played it countless times over the decades. POE2 does not feel like D2 at all.

To each their own. I didn't feel that overtune.
