you cant even play multiplayer to take some of the burden off of the early act difficulties.

you have to wait to respawn and most of the time its during a boss and they cant revive you because there isnt enough down time during bosses cause your constantly moving.

also revive takes an insane amount of time.. why the hell does it take like damn near a minute to fill that hourglass.. holy shit


the game is super bad

i am convinced it was designed 100% purely for the top 50 or so streamers

its literally catered entirely to them

not only THAT.. as if that wasnt enough. the game just scales super stupid and gets HARDER if you have to many people join. assuming they are poorly geared/new.. you can literally just put yourself in a position you can win in because you have multiple noobs making the game harder then they can handle cause everything out scaled them


Trash mobs have HP scaling in party play LMAO
The game is not that hard... I have gotten to act 3 cruel twice now, on just drop loot, with maybe a lil crafting from crafting orbs I farmed myself.

Read my post. I'm not complaining about the game being hard--it's insanely easy, for me, as a skilled ARPG and PoE player. I'm complaining about the game being tedious, with anti-player, anti-fun design philosophies, and lazy game development in places.

The GGG devs used artificial difficulty instead of actual difficulty in this game. It's atrocious.

Edit to add: Obviously I'm not the OP in this thread; but I don't see either his post or mine as being complaints about difficulty. Just about anti-player design.

This game was supposed to be the answer to: "You need a guide to play PoE 1" and its exactly the opposite of that.

And the game right now attracts 1 specific type of people, the "git gud" andies that are the most insuferable type of player I have ever seen, worse than Moba andies, worse than MMO andies and even worse than OG RTS andies.

PoE 2 will not survive season 3 and if the game doesn't get a big overall change and will drop players every week.

Its not new player friendly, its not PoE 1 player friendly... who are going to play this game? Single player experience gamers? Those players will leave in Season 1.

The fact is that the game is just boring, everything is a chore and it only has like 4-5% of interesting skills. If you are not playing those skills you are not going to have fun in PoE 2. So that's that.

Actually the sad thing is that PoE 2 will evolve naturally to a very faster type of game (And fun game) but a lot of people who tried the game now won't play then and probably won't come back.

But you no understand! That's haaard, and haard is good, but you no good, if you good you like game. Go play poe1 better for you. Me stronger, me like difficult, me better. You baby whine complain, no good.

Just kidding. +1
I see the usual "Get good" nonsense response all over GGG posts all thru PoE1 and not shocked to see then here. DEVS, (because I don't care what the sweaty basement dwellers think) if you make a game for the 1% your game is doomed Asmondgold even said it recently. you can't toon a game for the people who live in grama's basement gaming all day anymore the vast majority of consumers don't want to be mocked by a game that gives you nothing for drops and tunes bosses for 4th characters fully geared. it's not fun and I played PoE1 from early seasons to about a year ago.
And the skill tree how do you think making it bigger solves the you have to follow a build guide issue, baffling how you got so far off what you said this game was going to be. There is no build diversity because most of the skills are under tuned for the content so the "meta build" is even more prominent.

Fixed that for ya.

They are complacent.

Slightly more players than Roblox lmao.

The next biggest ARPG huh? What about that wave of "fun" propaganda youtube and devs blasted us with?

I saved 30 dollars not buying it. Too bad some people had to find out the hard way never give GGG money.

Having to go back and grind in a campaign is just about the most asinine thing I've ever seen.

HEY WE HAVE THIS STORY TO TELL YOU!... but you have to stop every 30 minutes to go grind for 2 days because you have to have PERFECT gear or you get 1 shot by mobs that are 8 levels below you.

Whoever's idea it was to try and make a diablo version of souls, needs to be fired, and then sued for gross negligence to try and recoup at least SOME of the money GGG is going to lose on this turd burger of a game.

This game is not new player friendly, its for the hardcore PoE fanbase an thats not me.

Sorry but that is not true. Maybe it isn't new player friendly BUT it isn't for the poe 1 fanbase at all. It's a completely different game maybe even a different genre.

I am trying to have fun. Once the newness and the hope dies, so will this game. IT IS NOT FUN!!! Slow, tedious, no loot, all good skills are endgame and guess what. If you use there skills and ( get Gud ) they will nerf it. I will be sure to tell my friends to wait and see if they still exist next year.
I guess it is to much to ask for 2 health potions. To much to ask for difficulty level. Easy Hard Harder, ever here of that before?
