7500H PoE1 Player here.
After approximately 150H with PoE2, it makes me reroll a new char on grim dawn, made me buy DiabloIV + extension during winter steam sales, and try warframe for the first time. <3

At least that's one positive effect this game has had on a player lmao

Calling this "Early Access" is a joke, its more like an alpha version where they threw together an endgame in 2 weeks and half the campaign is done. Who knows why they even spent 6 years on a chore of a campaign that nobody will care about after playthrough #1, what matters in an arpg is the core of the game and the endgame systems, which right now couldn't be more undercooked.

The outdated design of this game is showing when it still doesn't have campaign skip option after your first char. Good luck trying to convince players to come back every 3 months for this snoozefest of a campaign lol

Along with the game being sabotaged by The Vision TM. This game won't be fully releasing in 6 months for sure, and if it does it will most likely be rushed out.

But it still manages to be worse than Diablo 4, because at least there, I didn't have to spend more than two or three weeks to find an endgame boss or item for that boss's map, and only have one attempt and fail, because everything in this shitty game has to be a oneshot.


So you justv want the most top gear handed to you with zero actual effort after 2 weeks? Because that is EXACTLY what D4 does.

It's the most boring, mindless, repetitive, barebones soulless corperate minimal viable product I've seen with the exception of Destiny 2 for the tie.

Saying D4 has an actual endgame is the same as Elon claiming he has a POE2 Hardcore top tier character.

PoE2 feels a bit like they took the worst, most anti-player ideas from D4 and PoE1, then blended it all up and released it as a new game, without bothering to playtest it whatsoever.

^exactly this

Diablo 4 at least understands that loot management is essential to the gameplay experience. POE2, on the other hand, is stuck with an unmanageable mess of loot and no real solution in sight. It’s turning into a giant advertisement for why Diablo’s system works better.

Diablo 4 has the worst loot what are you on about

No variance, the cookie cutterist of character building

Literally everyone was playing the same spiritborn build this season

Endgame, no variance at all, just red after more red

Nightmare dungeons the closest to poe endgame and they've nerfed those into irrelevance

Want the best staff in the game? Just earn some currency then spam the vendor

Only thing to grind for is mythics and that is nothing more than one shooting same boss over and over

Oh cool a new season a new rep grind to pretend there's content

At least you get a loadout manager next season. From the company that brought you call of duty

I refuse to play a game where the end game is do 1 billion damage then the next season you get a new item that now does 1 Trillion damage

It's so utterly brain dead and has nothing to do with an ARPG

Diablo 4 is NOT an ARPG it's far too brain dead\

Then the ugly wokeness the fact that they forced the female characters to look like a man so they won't offend the rainbow people.

I will not buy or play any woke trash in 2025

POE 2 passed screen clearing speed much quicker than D4 did.

You guys are showing you dont really know much about this game.

If you're playing one of the 3 or 2 builds that absolutely wipes everything with a single attack, it's easy to say this shit.

Play with normal builds that aren't copied from a streamer, and without having a legion of fans donating perfect gear, as Streamers have that privilege, and you'll see how slow this game is. And how stupid it is to force endgame bossfights to last more than 5 minutes, creating the opposite feeling of "power fantasy".

People play these builds because the endgame was apparently "balanced" around it. Try not getting smoked in 1 second after opening a breach without being able to screen clear.

No but you certainly can.


Not even the Diablo 4 content creators think this

Diablo 4 is catering to ultra casual gaming, a couple hours here and there and you're guaranteed to see everything there is to see

PoE is in a whole different market

Why do you think all the diablo streamers have jumped ship, it's because after the first couple of days there is literally nothing left to show

So many complaints... only one month into EARLY ACCESS and they've made plenty of changes already. We just had a holiday...ya'll need to grow up and be patient.

Why you guys want easy game so badly. They made D4 insanely easy, now look at the game. Only dads with 3 hours of weekly gaming time playing that game. IF you can dedicate time to D4, the game gets boring in few days and it ends in few days anyways. You start hitting 20 million dps at level 25 or smth.

One shots, on death effects will get better but i don't want them to make the game easier than required limit.
