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

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

Yea it's for people who want to make a souls-like looter ARPG but don't quite understand souls-like games. They should at least pick a lane, either tactical skill check, or fast paced gear check. Right now we're a fast paced gear check with dodge rolls and no gear? It's not really clear what they were going for

I'm blowing up maps right now pretty fast in PoE2, speak for yourself. And now with the changes they just deployed and announced?

WAIT, what changes did they announce?
Please don't tell me they've given in to the whining.

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.

1. Don't speak for all ARPG fans - you are not in charge and not eligible for this
2. I am aRPG fan and I really like Poe2 - just bring me my MTXes from POE1 and would just love it.
3. As I said before (pretty sure, not only me) - POE2 is NOT for speedster "200 hours per minute" nerds and it was known even BEFORE launch and since you ARE definetely one of them - why you even touched it?

1. I am speaking for myself.
2. So what? You can be a fan of two different things at once.
3. I am not a "200 hours per minute" nerd and I still find PoE2 to be the worst ARPG ever even with my preference for slower less spammy ARPGs like diablo 2, titan quest and grim dawn.

1. Read the thread name - you are speaking for all arpg fans

2. Why you typed this?

3. You are. Your take "he could do act 1 in 12 hours. Yeah" clearly says you are speedster 200 maps per minute fan
But this is NOT equals to arpg fan.

1. No, I am giving my opinion. My conclusion from playing the game is that it was not made for ARPG fans, it was rather made as a new hybrid of PoE ruthless and dark souls.

2. I typed it because you made logically faulty conclusion.
That you can be a fan of ARPGs and still like PoE 2 does not mean PoE 2 was made for ARPG players. Just like you can be a fan of vanilla and still enjoy chocolate, and that wont mean the chocolate cake was made for the vanilla enjoyers.

3. No. If you are incapable imagine anything in between "12 hours in act 1" and "200 maps per minute" that is on you.

12 hours for act 1 is atrociuos and if it really took that long for the average player the game would be even more doomed. The point I was making is that the game was praised by a "12 hours in act"-player which made me realise that the game is for that kind of player and not for me.
