No they arent. They just use their head. You dont have enough luck to get resistances? False. You vendored/didint pick them up because u valued rushing/other stats. Now deal with it.

I do not have recording of my first run...

But I can assure you, for ENTIRE ACT 2, I have picked and tried to craft every single crossbow that dropped. And there was literally NOTHING good.

I checked the shop first every 2 levels, and after panic, started checking it EVERY level.

Nothing.

It is RNG after all.

This, a thousand times. I'm not even new, and I despise what this game is right now.

The difficulty has no purpose other than giving people a reason to gatekeep and lord their egos over others. You're clearly trying to create a toxic elitist player base that the entire world will hate.

If this game fails, and GGG dies because of it, you truly earned your pink slips.

I hope your share holders litigate you into oblivion for gross negligence.

Melee classes are outright impossible without hours on end of grinding to have the perfect gear. Defenses are pointless because half the mobs one shot you, and when you do kill things hidden on death effects kill you and rob you of xp and loot.

What is the point of this game? To see how quickly you can nose dive a successful company into the dirt because some idiot in a board room likes dark souls entirely too much?

You don't need to redefine what PoE is... you had hands down the best arpg in the market. Why are you now trying to butt into someone else's niche? YOU HAVE YOUR OWN FOR GODS SAKE.

I just spent the last 2 hours wiping over and over in a zone that is 4 levels under me. Getting killed almost instantly by chaos damage because chaos resistance is practically impossible to get without immense amounts of luck.

Hell just to get out of act 2 I had to spend two DAYS not hours, DAYS grinding the mad wolf for rares just to be able to not get one shot by the act 2 boss, who was EIGHT FUCKING LEVELS BELOW ME.

This game isn't 'hard'... it's pointlessly difficult for the sake of being difficult and if it stays like this I for one will not be playing it, or PoE1. You will have destroyed my faith in you. Faith you worked hard to get.

Congrats.

You guys dont suffer from being new at PoE. These things have nothing to do with PoE. Truth is you guys suffer from lack of critical thinking and too short attention spawn to learn the game and take ur time with progression. You are used to games where you chase blue quest marker on hardest difficulty without second thought and automatically beat the game. This is how casual games are made, even if they make easy mode in the game, you guys will go ballistic if u cant beat it on the hardest because it make u feel stupid, so casual games are made so that everyone can beat them on max difficulty. U are crying bcs this game that u cant easily beat now makes u feel stupid. What about all the other people that are easily dealing with this game? "tHeY aRe pOe VeTEranS"

No they arent. They just use their head. You dont have enough luck to get resistances? False. You vendored/didint pick them up because u valued rushing/other stats. Now deal with it.

So, my Merc friend finally gave in.

Tried Chaos trials, get to the boss...die.
Did that 4 times.

Couple of things he said
"If Im playing an ARPG for myself, why should I have to go to a marketplace to trade with other players to find gear for my build? That defeats the purpose of me playing the game for myself, I dont want to trade with ppl. D2 had that, an you would spend hours in trade lobbies. If that is what this game is about, its a trash game, hands down."

So, with that, an yes I paid for the unfinished beta test too, Im out.

This game is not new player friendly, its for the hardcore PoE fanbase an thats not me.
The loot is trash.
The 'crafting' system is garbo unless you buy stuff from the market because you get so few drops when your salvaging mats.
Im here to play for myself, not for others.
Ive tried doing a build for warrior that 'wasnt what I wanted' an it does such little damage, its garbo as well. Fun factor with melee is -100 for warrior.
"You NEED RESISTANCES!!!" Ok? What if Im not getting lucky with drops? "THE MARKET PLACE YOU BOOB!" No, I dont want to trade with other players, Im playing solo for myself, adjust loot. D4 started with RM AH, an we all saw how that went, but this is a staple of PoE, so its auto trash. Im sorry.
Spending an absurd about to respec is fucking stupid. It took WoW YEARS to go to free respecs because its the future of gaming, not an archaic time in gaming.

Well, Hardcore PoE fanbase an GGG, you won against this new player to the franchise. It needs alot of work, but sadly I wont be back.
Take care you all in your new game!
I hope you make it a game that caters to the hardcore fanbase since its a real toxic fanbase you have catered too.

Aaaaand there's the toxic "git gud" crowd again. At least their "smooth brains" are pretty predictable.

But we need an ignore button on these forums that simply hides all posts and topics by that person.

You guys ever stop for a second and think maybe "you" is the problem?

Game is fine, needs some tuning here and there, sure. But it's not unbeatable, many people have already cleared all endgame ubers so... maybe cry less and try to improve or just play an easier game
