I'm worried GGG took our money and ran

???.
Chill out, the game is in early access and you can't regularly release the biggest patch notes. Two patch notes from PoE2 alone are bigger than Diablo4 ever was. Take a break and wait for the patch notes.

POE2 is in good shape right now

In what aspect?

Like in terms of build variety?
Lack of in-game bugs?
A lot of content to do in the end game?
A lot of classes to pick?
Easy trade without RMT bots?

What man, what?

Please enlighten me.
No. Please enlighten all of us.

The sad part is: the only players enjoying this game are the ones breaking it and taking advantage of unintended interactions. The rest of the players, trying legit ''offmeta'' builds, are being punished from every corner.
This game is just like life itself: only people with an insane amount of currency and shady gameplay are fully enjoying it.

Then we are not playing the same game apparently.

Sure, man. If you are killing pinnacle bosses, constantly finding invitations, omens and all that high end currency with your offmeta build, then you we are playing different games.

I'm not. I actually don't rush into endgame untill more attempts per pinnacle boss will be added. Until then I'll enjoy trying new builds, playing SSF and slowly progressing thru maps. And also that insanely godly soudtrack - especially Act 2 which is filled with bangers!

When we point at something about the game that is wrong, it is never poiting at the art, that's the only part of this game that it is simply perfect, could be a 20 out of 10 easy.
I was talking about the endgame content, the one you are having to ''skip'' just because of the 1 portal, but I am not that patient and we shouldn't be. Early access shouldn't mean unbalanced state, that's only allowed for betas. We should be playing a balanced game that just lacks content, like missing acts and the bosses that haven't been implemented. They also shouldn't be taking so long to make adjustments because we are not in a regular League.

Again: if you are finding yourself having a good time, fine. That doesn't take away the frustration and the valid points some of us are having with the game.

Where is GGG? Has anyone spotted GGG since release? 1 patch, 1 month vacation, then they come back and add way points to bushes.

You forgot the several Una's Lute hotfix.

What game are you playing?

Can you show me one of your off-meta characters?

You're one of those people who always answer 8-10 when nurses ask where you are on the pain scale, right? The kind that doesn't call anything 'good' if it's below an 8/10 review rating?

'Good' means the game is playable, has extremely few glitches and bugs, and the ones it DOES have aren't game-breaking. It doesn't mean it is 'excellent', 'perfect', 'flawless', etc.

But, EA for this game is in WAY better shape than the actual releases of tons of games (D4 being one of those). However, we have a ton of players who apparently have so little going on in their lives that they come here and want to bash on the game like it's in worse shape than Fallout 76 was at launch (and even STILL is).

And, I have plenty of gripes about POE2, ranging from enemies being able to charge right through minions who can't manage to get through a door, how the Trials for ascendancy need severe reworking, get rid of the trade site and install an in-game market, and so much more... but NONE of those issues makes the game unplayable in any form, and, honestly, are just major annoyances.

Currently, POE2 (and this is after getting through all of Doryani's map quests) is about a 6 or 7 out of 10, so in 'good shape'. It's not bad, I still enjoy playing it, trying out different builds, etc. BUT, it could definitely stand to be a lot better, and it will be over time. This is likely the absolute worst the game will ever be, the way it is right at this moment.

This is when I can't agree with you. We SHOULD be patient. GGG proved many times that they can deliver lots of patches and balance stuff if players are patient. Also who said what is and what isn't allowed for early acess and what belong to beta and what not? Where you got these "rules"?

I am one of the biggest anti-poe2 people here historically, anti-ggg in recent times even.

But lol no way, They are gonna do their best to deliver this.

Have some faith Exiles!


Edit: and why did we get the checkpoints? I'll tell you exactly why.

It was finished enough to add, Literally that is our life we're going to get some seemingly random stuff as they finish the features of PoE2.

If we're lucky those features come out together or in a manner that they make more sense but some of it is just gonna be out of left field at first seemingly.

I know the support stuff is also weighing on a lot of people but that too will be resolved in time.
