Slippery slope doom posting begins when the lucky and skilled players start feeling less lucky and skilled.
GGG wants players to craft items in Act 1 and had to adjust drops to meet that design decision. Players are actually making the game easier by choosing to trade instead of craft and then complain about game is easy.
Well said. I watched it for many years with PoE1. GGG tried taking back decisions, BOOM community erupted.
The content creator cycle didn't help this either. Game accessible -> streamers making build guides -> players play -> buy packs.
Dedicated hardcore fans spending a few thousand dollars? Get F!@#'d, we have tens of thousands of FNGs dropping $30.
Even Ziz admitted in a video you have to lie to new or bad players.
Imagine this: Dark souls 2 just came out. One weekend in: "We have increased the number of souls drops by 50% across the board, you are guaranteed to get all boss souls weapons upon beating a boss"
Not saying PoE2 has to be dark souls 2, I am just highlighting that the game would not have grown its niche and encouraged people to try to figure things out and players could just tell the developers "change the game for us"

this game went downhill real fast lmao
whenever I click a stream it's some one button deadeye build running at light speed, one shotting the entire screen and getting 20 items from one big pack
idk how the game can be in such a terrible state after going through multiple closed beta tests. genuinely don't understand why they decided to separate poe 2 if it's going to be the same shit
Agreed and it's so sad to see. The wind was kinda just taken from our sails eh? The game currently just feels way too easy. Braindead. Unfun. It makes no sense why they would go through all of the effort to build a new game to make it just a clone of POE 1, D3 or D4. Bosses drop like nothing, people are clearing packs like anything. It's so hard to see. imo if they don't revert course - it won't end well. All the excitement I had and hype was met on day one launch and now - I don't feel like playing. And that's crazy to me because POE 2 had me so enthralled. I hadn't felt this level of excitement for a game since I was a kid and now it's no different than anything else, let alone POE 1. Which defeats the whole purpose of a separate game imo.
Who's forcing you to play that way? Are they in your maps killing your fun? Or do you think you're good enough that if they weren't able to blast, you'd be leading the pack?

Who's forcing you to complain so much about a game until devs give in and let you no brain without having to engage with the game?
Isn't that the root of the issue in the first place?
"PoE1 veterans" who just one-click zoomed on other people's builds for a decade without ever engaging with or learning any of the mechanics of it, and now that they had to try on their own for 4 days they bitched so much that the devs actually made the game trivial?

I just love the "ITS TOO EASY" from players that didn't even reach lategame maps.
Wait till you get to the hardest maps and map bosses.
It'll oneshot you with little or no warning -elites too.
Come back with a 90+ character in a week and complain, and I'll believe you.

In which world is this game trivial? If you think so I will enjoy you see you race with Ben and other god gamers soon.

Most will never beat ben in a race on time. But I am sure many people can match on destination, if they try hard enough.

Boss drops in act 1 (Yes, all bosses, even minor map bosses, looked like this so far)

Interesting that a few people generalize their experiences and apply it to all the rest of us and want change because that's how they see it in their own little bubble.
In the meantime, I played a few hours of Act 3 yesterday and got hardly any yellow drops. I killed 2 bosses and ZERO yellows dropped from either.
But keep crying thinking that it's all about your drops individually. I actually hope they don't listen to you and instead let their data and vision speak for itself...

Check my posts and tell me where I'm the one complaining about the game. You'll see me state multiple times I'm enjoying it but some things need work. What I'm doing is trying to keep the handful of you whiners from misrepresenting things. GGG made the change based on data, stop crying and either play something else of find things you do still enjoy about the game and focus on those. You've been crying for over a day now, GGG has been dropping hotfixes with hours of certain things coming to light.
