Why I don't like Path of Exile 2 - a dissertation of my depression.

I apologize for only having skimmed through your dissertation but it seems obvious to me that a majority of your problems stem from a single root cause - you are playing AN UNFINISHED GAME and treating it like a FINISHED PRODUCT.
This is the first time PoE 2 is getting hands-on expertience by a mass audience and the first time so much feedback is flowing back. Unlike PoE 1 which had a decade of "development in the open". It is janky around the edges but in line with player expectations. PoE 2 not only is a different game but also aims to capture a different audience, which is neither a subset nor a superset of hardcore PoE 1 playerbase. And nothing is set in stone for PoE 2 just as nothing ever was in PoE 1. It is IMO not worth getting depressed over the state of an unfinished game. Come back in a month, three months or wait until 1.0. Go back to PoE 1 until then. I would hope we get at least one more league until PoE 2 1.0. If none of your issues are fixed between now and 1.0 then perhaps the conclusion is that it is not a game for you, and that's fine too. I too have a lot of issues with the game but I like the general direction it has taken. I am overjoyed that I can play it with a controller and on my Steam Deck. When I die, I understand why I died and what corrective actions need to be taken. Combat has a slower pace and there's less stimuli per second to process; my peanut brain has time to rub the two brain cells together to form a plan. Ascend with precision.

listen to this man, respec your game |

Well said, I hope they take the time to process and utilize it during the EA timeframe.

With you spoonfeeding them possible solutions to the glaring issues PoE2 has, maybe we'll actually see some improvements being made in the next patch in stead of just nerfing stuff one day after EA launch.

" I don't get it why you have to come and justify the state of the game. And tell the OP what his problems stems from. And that too without reading his detailed post. Moreover, you fail to respect or see the OP's core point and frankly point of the larger community that is giving their feedback--unlike you we don't like the general direction thr game has taken. You like it. Great. Go and play it. If you like something about it go start a thread and detail out why you love the current state of the game. Why are you trying to tell us why should we love the game and just turn a blind eye to the core problems inherent in the game as pointed out in the post? |

" The 200-400k players currently PLAYING THE GAME (according to Steam charts) far outweigh the vocal minority that actually bothers to frequent the forums. Satisfied players have no reason to come here, hence forums are an echo chamber. " Sorry, too busy having fun in the game. I have outlined my top reasons anyway. " I never said anything remotely like that. I said: - Things may or may not improve, but there's no reason to discard the game based on its current state. Things DO change based on feedback, just not necessary based on who screams the loudest. - This may turn out to be a game not appropriate for the OP. And to clarify, this does not throw shade neither at the game nor the OP. Ascend with precision. Last edited by Ankh_13#4218 on Dec 12, 2024, 5:33:44 PM
