Do you want us to hate this game?
|
We used the entire weekend with my friend to set up a LAN for this new league. So excited for the improvements we were expecting. Well, it was another shit-show.
We played through 4 acts together, it was sooo slow, and got absolutely nothing from those hours. The drops we got: - 3 exalted - 5 regal - 2 chaos - 3 uniques (absolute garbage ones) - 0 usable weapon drops - 1 usable shop found How the fuck are we supposed to progress and make ourselves weapons and equipment, when we DON’T GET ANY and WE CAN'T UPGRADE THEM? Are you counting on us buying them? Well, that doesn't work either, because WE DON'T GET ANY CURRENCY. We fought Doryani for soooo long, and he dropped one exalted orb ad 2 normal items :D Two players, 1 exalted orb. I remember a quote that GGG had somewhere: “If players aren’t using orbs left and right, we have failed” (or something like that). Well, you have failed! And this game is close to unplayable. Fn stupid. Ready to give up, flip this garbage dev team a finger and move to another game. Last bumped on Apr 7, 2025, 11:59:35 AM

Going trough acts is horrible,reminds me of vanilla wow and leveling back then.Upgrades didn't really exist much,some gear slots didn't even start to drop until certain level,it was slow and painful
PoE gives the same feeling but makes it much worse knowing what PoE is supposed to be Few things just from going trough acts -theres no loot drops -fighting yellow chest should at least give one yellow item -only point of upgrade I could see is going to vendors and hoping that there would be something.But there wasn't,I'm in maps now and my weapon still has level 8 or 9 skeletons on it...only thing I found that's it. -not enough gold is dropping -whole game gives me nothing and only way to maybe progress my character is when I level and teleport back to town to check npcs -there is no loot but also there's no currency.Why on earth is alchemy and regal so rare?You ggg said we want players to keep slamming them and make gear....well what orbs or drops are you even talking about -Being so undergeared and going trough a boss gives me "thank "beep" this is over" What would make this game ten times better is giving us gear drops or at least up the regals and alchemy orbs so we can use them.Just those two would make life better I'm in maps and most of my gear is still magic... Great design GGG.. Last edited by Zecalo#5575 on Apr 7, 2025, 6:46:03 AM

I'm act2 Cruel now and had no problem to get there with the gear I've found on my way (with Warrior btw)
Some tipps - Check vendors for new items every level up. - farm previous areas multiple times for better items, more level, more gold,etc... if you stuck at a boss f.e. - or better, learn campaign boss attack patterns to ez beat them. - think outside the box and don't strictly stick to build guides of some streamer. - always upgrade your main damage skill gems Etc.... Game is not that hard with 0.2, people are just used to trivial ARPGs where they can faceroll all content from level1 without any effort....or to lazy to spend time preparing theyr char for the next challange. ;) Last edited by CroDanZ#1818 on Apr 7, 2025, 11:52:30 AM

" RNG is RNG. If upgrades aren't dropping there's nothing you can really do about it. Telling people to use vendors is all well and good... if RNG provides the vendors with upgrades. Many are able to avoid getting hit by bosses, however of your gear is trash the fight will go on for a while, which means more opportunities to slip up. Trying to create a custom build requires a certain degree of game knowledge that not everyone possesses, guides are a safe bet for such players. Always upgrading skill gems is poor advice, sometimes a skill should be kept lower for mana cost reasons or stat requirements. Warriors are in a strong place this patch, most builds are not. |

Those 'tips' are all no-brainers.
We've done all of them, repeatedly, and it just doesn't work. We got through fe. doryani only by learning the patterns and dodging for 20 mins / fight. We are making shit damage, because our gear is so shit, and our resistances are max 20 each, because we can not find gear to improve them. We re-ran several areas just to get some gold, because that's the only thing we can find, then we used that gold to buy 1 item each, because they are so expensive, and used our only 2 orbs to upgrade them. get shit rolls and now we're dead-broke again. Repeat. Repeat. Die inside. Repeat. |

" The game isn't hard. It's tiresome. Not the same thing. |

" It works for me and it'd work for you if you take advantage what the game offers. That said, it can be a slow slog and what you need you have to work for. It's just that kind of game and it isn't for everyone. I certainly prefer poe1 and play it as my main game still. But rage quitting is an appropriate option as well because many players are never going to get this franchise |

" Lolz. Arrogant much? :D POE1 doesn't raise this kind of hatred and negative feedback swarm. I've never heard anyone wanting to rage quit it, so it's not a franchise thing. And amidst all this negative feedback from all around, you are more likely to be the exception than me. I can't see this game ever being successful if they don't listen to the community and change it. The main problem for me is that the game is marketed by the 'franchise' to be one thing and built to be another. If they want it to be a boring, slugfest of a grind with 0 rewards, at least own it and tell it as it is. |

And the reason why the community is so angry, is because it's so close to being great! Give us loot, and give us orbs to craft them, chill a bit with the monster health/speed etc, and voila, we have a great game.
