Dear GGG: You NEED to watch this video! I cannot emphasize this enough! WATCH THIS!
|
That youtube video is actually pretty funny. GGG totally lied to us about what poe2 actually was in order to sell EA copies. Then when confronted about it they were like nah its a zoom game its always been a zoom game.
They got us lol |

" PoE made me hate the words "power fantasy"... just like the guy in the video says... I feel anything BUT powerful when everything falls over with no effort or real input from me. It doesn't matter at all how much I giga-brained my build, it doesn't feel rewarding at all. The only real difference between D4 and PoE2 is really the passive tree for the most part and the other one is that one was made by Blizzard and the other wasn't. "Sigh"

They will nerf the ultra powerful builds next league, clearing a map in a minute and killing a pinnacle boss in 15sec is not the intended way it's pretty obvious so yes it's expected it's gonna get slowed, just not now.

" That's only the tip of the iceberg. The video goes into much deeper issues than that. In fact what you stated IS the intended way to play the game taken directly from the devs and the video goes into that. Last edited by LVSviral#3689 on Jan 15, 2025, 11:56:58 PM

Guy talked for 9 minutes about the bait and switch of endgame then says "let's hear what they say" and Jonathan gets out half a sentence before he pauses it and talks another 3 minutes. Come on, I'm not sitting through 57m of that. "Content creators" need to learn when to shut up and how to say things with less words.
That said, I want to feel powerful at some point. Campaign is great for story, but when story ends and endgame begins it should change a bit. Slogging through 3 acts was enough. I'm glad cruel was easier. And 2nd/3rd/etc characters had the benefit of gear. So does this shinshin guy like campaign because characters 2-8 ran it or did he lose interested in campaign after the first character because it became too easy? Someone feel like taking this 57m snoozefest and turning it into a 15m informational video? I sure hope the devs don't waste an hour of their time on this. |

" He goes into detail and emphasizes things while bringing up examples and data for 54* minutes. It's not bloat and is in fact very condensed and well done for JUST being 54 minutes. The dude has reached juiced tier 15's and goes into severe detail about issues with the game's progression and retention along with why the "power fantasy" progression system isn't working. If the devs can't "waste" an hour watching about as constructively condensed feedback as possible then idk what is worth their time. Also, if you have an attention disorder, try watching informational videos at x2 speed. I have a friend with a similar problem that does that and it helps him get through stuff.

If they're going to slow down the gameplay significantly (and I'm fine with that), then they need to make loot better. Loot in the game is simply dog shit. Slowing down our kill speed will only make things worse.
Just as an example, if you're getting 1 exciting loot drop every 2 hours now, and they slow down our kill speed 10x, you're looking at one exciting loot drop every 20 hours. That's awful. |

" Yep, loot along with everything else in PoE2 being so damn focused around swarms of enemies for everything is not ideal. Last edited by LVSviral#3689 on Jan 16, 2025, 1:14:34 AM

I didn't expect to see hashinshin
"buff grenades"
- Buff Grenades (Buff-Grenades) |

Maybe the best solution would be:
- Slow down PoE2 for players, who like to suffer and kill every monster one by one. I hate it, i like to progress and go fast - Improve PoE1 visuals, leave everything else. So every player had the choice. Zooming in PoE1 or play slow in PoE2. Win-win |
