Got to maps.....This is frustrating and boring all at the same time

So if you die in the map the WStone is gone and so are the mods.

If you die its almost always because some cheese mob blocking while Ranged Mobs Shotgun you with some BS high damage crap.

This one portal crap is NO fun. Who ever at GGG is forcing this needs to step back and get off their glass tower.

Its frustrating, boring and NOT FUN.

Wont be spending any more money on POE2 if this does not change.

I will second this. I play a spark build and my screen is full of visual clutter to the point where sometimes I'm unable to see ground effects that will kill me if I don't move out of them fast enough.

I like the gameplay of poe, but I think that the one portal system is too punishing. I can not maintain intense focus and have snappy reactions for the entire duration of my game time for the night. I think putting bosses in an arena and if you die the boss goes back to full life, but in most cases I find killing rare enemies harder than killing bosses.

Allow the 6 portal system so you aren't being punished for blinking and dying to a one hit mechanic (of which there are many).

I think the one portal system is going to push a lot of people away from the game once they see the end game loop.

Just my two cents.

To top it all off, the game is still VERY buggy.

So...

I did mapping last night.
Suddenly, my controller started vibrating wildly, and I got disconnected.

I was kicked to the login screen.
I lost map progression, the map itself, the experience points, and all my overall progression.

The whole game is frustrating, boring and not fun. Fired up D4 this past weekend instead.

One death is annoying, but you're just trolling at this point. D4 is still in the grave.

Yeah, I put the work in this weekend. Gone to maps.

1st map portals open up, I go in, and get kicked out to login screen. Map gone.

2nd map. Pop it in, dont pay much attention. Is a T1 map..... Yeah, get blasted by spitting snakes with multiple projectiles, and thanks to the gear scarcity, chaos res is not yet featuring.

That's it. Now I have to go back and farm campaign for maps.


Why do they even still open 6 portals. Is it just to troll us ?

I also pushed into maps finally.
Lightning sorc all the way through, 50 hour to do campaign, 200 deaths.
I never dropped a single item that could be used to upgrade my character, by the time I got to higher level stuff, my build apparently became meta but it doesn't really function at all without decent gear. Gear too expensive to farm, crafting doesn't exist in poe2, and i'm not slogging through a single campaign zone for the 300k gold i'd need to respec. So I suffer on.

Forcing my way through maps. They are way too long, your character is way too slow, and the enemies are way too fast. Rituals are borderline impossible. All the maps are super tight and windy while the ritual just drops 50 mobs right on top of you. Dying feels stupid, maps are already a 20 minute slog fest, I do not under any circumstances want to be forced to keep repeating the same one over and over again until I stop getting cheesed by the enemies and level geometry.

Like, at the end of it all, I don't really know that I've had all that much fun if any with any of the changes that poe2 made contrary to poe1. I've got 5,000 hours in poe1 over every league they've come out with since 3.0 and it's wild to me that poe2 runs perpendicular in development to poe1 instead of parallel. They already have a playerbase and they know how that playerbase likes to play their game.
