There is no coop in the endgame.

I just realized something during the 120 hours I've been playing PoE2.

Coop is non-existent in the endgame. I see people asking for help on some act boss or trial.

But coop in the endgame is simply non-existent because the enemy powerscaling is already absurd solo, in coop it's impossible to measure the damage and HP size of enemies and bosses.

It's funny, because Coop is something that even Diablo 4 managed to have in the endgame, even during the game's horrible launch.

Right now it's impossible. With the current powerscaling, it's simply more boring and more full of oneshots.

Yeah, if that's the case then I just won't bother with the endgame. I was already hearing awful things about it but if I can't even do it with my friends, what's the point?

Yet another nail in the......

Nothing fun about running maps with friends and they get one shot off screen by a meteor and now they have to wait there dead for you to finish clearing the map. All my friends stop playing the game this week. They all ended up playing Last Epoch or went and played games in their back log.

My friends and I mapped together and played through most of the campaign in a group, our main issue is the layout of many maps and areas throughout the campaign forces you into tight corridors/choke points. So you end up body-blocking each other pretty badly, it's annoying/dangerous sometimes.
Most areas need to be widened by at least one tile. Between that and Frost Wall somehow being the best way to freeze on Sorc (the most annoying skill for party play ever created) they barely want to play anymore. :(

The one death hardcore mechanic makes it completely pointless.

+1

Doing acts together with friends is really nice, except for the resurrect mechanic, which is kinda stupid and should be improved on.

Endgame so far seems is the biggest letdown compared to PoE 1. The grind you need to get anywhere near the end bosses is insane, breach and delirium aren't suitable for all builds, there's not much to discover and do otherwise and not much variance and doing atlas in a group is just self-flaggellation right now, because you can't even resurrect.

I bought this game to play with my friends. I can't agree with this post more. It's TERRIBLE when you get to endgame with party members. It starts with the Atlas Map not being the same. Then the death mechanic. Then the waystone drop rate. I mean, if the game remains like this, I hope the best for the games future, but I most likely wont be a part of it.
