And it's all going to change as time goes on. Start slow, build up systems, and add a ton of classes. It's a safe way to go with a new release
Way too safe, way too slow, way too top down and oppressive. Starting with your best foot would have been a better way to do this, rather than grinding players down like they have with this release.
I suspect they'll be in crisis mode trying to fix things and walk back a lot of the unpopular changes/systems they've imposed within the next few weeks, but time will tell.
Combat system is great. Game looks great. Everything else needs a LOT of work.

100 hours in give or take and I don't want to play this game ever again, it's nothing but frustration. There are major design flaws across various systems and ideas they wanted to execute on and missed the mark significantly. I was so hopeful after the first adjustment patch but the silence since and continued frustration is just lousy. Games are supposed to be fun, especially arpgs - I've played them all my entire life.
Just bummed, really thought GGG would bring this one home .

I disagree 100%... I love PoE2... I've played only as a monk and a warrior so far and I love it, the monk was a bit rough seeings as that was my launch toon... My warrior is walking through the game, though I did need help with geonor.. he's an endgame boss so that's to be expected other than that my mace strike/rolling slam/earth quake/infernal cry/bone shatter/ perfect strike build is OP and I freaking love it!! Blizzard nerfed the barb so bad it wasn't fun. I love a good "hulk smash" warrior/barb class!! I'm having loads of fun!! I wish people would ask for help rather than judge immediately... If this game dives because people are too prideful to ask for help I will be at a loss for words... The game runs great, i rarely disconnect and this is beta... The bosses and the movement feel great, I asked for improvement on the movement speed and evade for monk and GGG listened... Idk about you but I want to see more "bam bam" classes!!!

12k hours in PoE1, and I just... I had so much hope for PoE2. But now, I don't even feel like logging into PoE2, because it's just so boring. Move slow, no crafting, endless random one shots, no utility flasks to customize, have to run mechanics I don't like in order to ascend, gotta click a well plus a number of vendors every time I go to my hideout, and the dodge roll.... I loathe the dodge roll. Designing the game around the dodge roll really kills my enthusiasm for the next 10 years of gaming. You can't remove it from the game, you balanced the game around it, there's no way you're going to decide not to have it be part of the game, which means I don't want to play the game. I don't understand why you'd make the game a soulslike... People bought into PoE2 EA because of people like me hyping the game nonstop, and then instead of giving us PoE2, you make us look foolish for promoting this new game. I told people about the wonderful crafting, and how cool it would be in PoE2. What do the people I told get? No alteration orbs? No scours? Wut! I told them about how fun it was to blast the campaign and endgame, and what to they get? Slow movespeed and a dodge roll? I haven't even spent my 300 points from EA yet because honestly, I just don't want to even play. Worst part is that now I'm stuck in a seven month PoE1 league instead of playing PoE2, the game I wanted... I know you probably won't bother to fix things, as ruthless-lite is your vision, but I just wanted to let you know I've been playing for 10 years, and this is just another time you've let me down. Hopefully community outrage will help you fix things.
16k hours here :D .. Same for me. Very unfortunate.
However, We seem to be the clear minority here. I also moved to other games (after 19h). Best you can do...
Also: Comments from our dear newcomers are so cute :-)
