I haven't bought a single piece of gear since i've been playing. Made it to maps. Not sure why you think buying gear is required.

Because not everyone is as lucky as you. My sorc is level 58 and yesterday, the first useful piece of equipment for my build since level 29 dropped and for the first time ever, slamming an Ex on it resulted in a really useful additional mod.

All the other ones I equipped since then either came from my guildmates, from an in-game vendor or via trade. 6 out of 10 of the equipment pieces I use are still < level 30 (one is level 20). Not counting flasks, that is.

Granted, I did find quite a number of potentially useful items in that time, but none that were suitable for my build.

Sounds like my luck. You dont get everything you need. You have to make due with what youre given for awhile. I had to craft most of my gear. It's not hard. I don't believe the people that say they don't get any good drops.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this.

People enjoy games in different ways. Me? I just want to have a good experience and feel like I'm this superhero in a fantastic land.

Others may find enjoyment in reading a 20+ page wiki on how to micro adjust the perfect combination of gear and skills for the perfect build.

I wish there was a sweet spot where people who just want to enjoy the ARPG aspect of it without first having to take a college course in character optimization.

I also find it very frustrating that I can't optimize past a point. Vendors sell crappy gear and most loot is pathetic. What then? Do I need to do a special dance and pray to Kitava something good drops after dying 20 times?

At the end of the day, what is this game about? Fighting hordes and bosses, or trading gear and optimizing stats? If it's the latter, then yes, the game is tedious.

Bye

Bye. If you can't get past act 2 boss after multiple character creation you need to follow a detailed build guide or just go play something else less challenging. Stop crying on the forums about your skill issue. We are sick of hearing about it.

What an ahole. This section is feedback, no one asked you to read, stop thinking you are the center of the world.

This game seems to have serious problems with enemy level scaling and loot drops. In my first playthrough on normal, I didn't explore much and was always more or less at the required level. Mobs frequently drop yellow gears and my survivability was okay. But I didn't like my build so I started a new class, and this time I explored and as a result, always overleveled. Then the nightmare started around the final two or three maps in Act III. Mobs just don't drop yellows, I can neither keep my evasion or my energy shield up because the gears only give a pathetic amount of them. The worst part however is the weapon, I think. My weapon is around the map's level, but my character's level is 5 levels above the map, so either the game scales up the mobs so ridiculously that I experienced an enormous difficulty spike or the game scales me down so my damage appears to be lower than in previous maps.

And to those aholes that love to call others having 'skill issues', remember you can follow a guide, but that doesn't guarantee you have the same gears. A small difference in gears can make a big one in your experience. If you won't help, then shut up. This is feedback after all, and you are not GGG and you are definitely not GGG's mom, so stop defending them like you defend your kids.

Are you sure in the de facto essay he wrote, he only mentioned he can't pass the level? Nothing about the map's backtracking? Nothing about sorc's difficulty in early game?

Spot on. PoE 2 is more handicapping than anything else.

Gems dont level up with experience is a handicap
No current crafting system is a handicap
No free use of support gems is a handicap.
Not promoting creativity like in PoE 1 is a handicap.

Game is not hard, its pure evil and tedious.
