First let me start by saying I'm new to the PoE series. I played two characters. I got a witch to 33 and a Monk to 28 and have experienced nothing but frustration with this game. Nothing about it is really fun at all. My main gripes are that all of the crafting gear is just random drops and you can't farm specific mobs to get what you want to roll for stats on new gear. The bosses are also super annoying. Bad hitboxes on lots of abilities and ridiculous back swing animations on specific bosses as well (thinking of the guy in the graveyard after you kill praetor and asinia). Act 1 boss was a complete nightmare. Died probably 30+ times trying to kill him before taking a look at my gear and resistances. Had an easier time with him on my monk but generally speaking all of the bosses are just plain frustrating and unfun to play against. The last straw is probably Sekhemas trial with the honor system. The actual trial is incredibly boring and uninteractive. I've played through it five times and haven't completed it due to honor always dropping to zero and monk bell constantly getting glitched inside the boss and being untargettable. Nothing in the actual trial was hard just boring and annoying. I never lost anything more than energy shield either but I lose the boss fight because of the honor system.
I'm at my wits end with this game and very burnt out on it.
Eh. Ihave played maybe 6 hours of POE 1 so im new too. Im playing with my friend, both warriors, the Lachlan boss was one of the most fun bosses we fought. We have died like 8 times before we killed him, but the satisfaction was immense. We reached the count today, and the fight looks like it will be as epic, we so far died 6 times, but we are getting better, tommorow we will try again. I think POE2 is great so far. And to be honest, looking at your gear only after dieing 30 times speaks about you, not about the game. I mean its the game about gear, and you dont continously finetune your gear, specially if you died to a boss more then 5 times?
