Idk honestly. I like the slow state. Even act 1 boss took a long time to kill. If i failed mechanics i would have died anytime. My observation is that most people want the destination as fast as possible and fine enjoyment on reaching the goal. I find enjoyment in just playing. I can see how youre mad about the state since its not like that and i just like how this is.

If you had any knowledge about the game, you wouldn't be in any danger from the act1 endboss, he can't kill in one hit. You will also disapear from this game before finishing the story, slow life indeed. Unfortunately this slog is not as complex as poe1, It would spare us from players like you.

lol, if you get hit by the ice beam twice youre frozen and probably die. But youre a elite gamer that just destroys everything in your path.

But youre all arguing not about the game, but youre arguing who you are as gamers vs who i am as a gamer for some reason. This whole space has become insanity. Sure if youre under 18 i can understand but ive been pretty clear about what i like and for me to like that i must be bad, etc.

It is more D3 Greater Rift feeling from the early seasons. 10 Minutes trash, 5 minutes boss. Including the lags and spikes. And I think nothing is further away from D2 than that (especially classic).

Slow doesn't mean challenging by any means. Nothing challenging about running 5 minutes in circles and waiting for spears to hit once in a while. To be honest I don't have any clue about boss mechanics in PoE2, I just run circles and remember that I saw that animation last time and then forget about it again. I mean you get hit frequently but rarely get punished for that. Died 3 times in first two acts but deserved a whole lot more for getting hit by almost everything while just trying to raise the dps-numbers and starting to focus a bit only if life flask says so.
I feel completely different about PoE1, where I memorized most patterns because most things hit like a truck. And also feeling different with D2C, which is kind of the vision GGG was aiming for. That game was never too challenging but had absurd grinding goals and penalties for death while speed was everything that mattered. While I enjoyed it back then, I would never play it again and also didn't for the relaunch.

There is nothing wrong with slow and more strategic gameplay, but the feeling of power progression needs to be there and right now it isn't. If they can fix this and get rid of about 75% of the dodge gimmick crutch, this will be a good game.

Bro I played D2 in beta and ya know what it was FUN!!!!!! this is NOT!!! Fun is key!! the game is very well made!! Its Fn beautiful!!! interactions are awesome!! but the fun/miserable ratio leans way towards the miserable side!!!! FUN FUN CMON!!
