I like p o e 2 not dark souls.

Okay so let me start by saying when I played Diablo 4 I was so disappointed at the direction they went with it that I didn't even make it through the first season and have not played it since. So I was playing path of exile One instead of Diablo 4, then path of exile 2 comes out and hey that's what Diablo 4 could have been but they didn't even try.

So just a little background I am a solo player I prefer playing by myself or with my one friend, and I have been very much enjoying the game up until the patch.

So it went from me just barely getting through each boss fight solo without having to beg for help to gianor doing three of his immunity phases as soon as he transforms.
I literally hadn't even had a chance to do a single hit on him before he did the first immunity The second immunity I'd only done about 3,000 damage to him and then the third immunity came less than four attacks after that.

So not only did you increase boss life like quadruple way more than it needed to be you also sped up the intervals of all of their attacks so no longer is there any telegraphing and getting out of the way, I mean the game was already tough enough for a solo player that doesn't watch YouTube videos to make their build I kind of like figuring things out myself.

And so when I stumble upon something that actually works for me that not everybody's doing it makes me feel good not because I'm OP or anything far from it but because I can actually do the bosses in less than 20 minutes apiece. Now I can't beat them at all by myself I get no feeling of accomplishment, The rewards for fighting bosses for me are minuscule at best because I only find like one or two rarity find items and those don't affect it that much probably shouldn't nerf those early game.

I guess what I'm trying to get at here is it feels like you're punishing people for wanting to play the game they want to play it, The only reason anything should ever be nerfed is if yeah it's doing something it wasn't intended to do from the get-go, but completely gutting a build simply because it's doing better than other builds well maybe you should make other builds come in line with feeling powerful.

Cuz I'll be honest and a game like this if you don't feel powerful you're not going to have the confidence to play solo or in a group you're not going to have a good experience, If you're not enjoying what time you have to spend on the game which mine is very little, then why would I play this game if I don't feel see or experience any progress in a reasonable time frame and I'm not saying, oh I just played 2 hours a day for a week and I didn't get anything, I'm talking when I grinded an 8-hour session when I barely have that kind of time to sleep and go to work and I've done that every day of the week and I'm literally just getting whites and blues I could count on both hands how many yellows I got and the only unique I've gotten is the no-level required boots and I've gotten those three times 😒.

Anyway I hope you change it back to a path of exiles game and not a dark souls game because I don't like being punished for playing a game that I enjoy If I don't enjoy playing a game then I find something else to do.

Good luck and I hope some meaningful changes happen because for Amazons in one group not being able to kill the very first act boss is kind of dumb take that with the grain of salt and stop making poor choices, You're going to try to force people to play your game the way you want them to play it and you're going to end up turning people off to it just like Diablo did just like borderlands 3 did just like all the other games that have such wonderful and fun ways to play and then instead of rebalancing them so that they're more realistic you completely break them and make them unusable without offering any alternatives that are meaningful or fun to play.

TLDR the rest but many experienced players were killing bosses far too quickly their mechanics didn't matter.

If you don't want meaningful bosses and to involve yourself in the theory crafting, what is GGG meant to do? Create an easy mode solo self found? I bet you wouldn't select it out of principal (a stubborn one at that).

this is not any close to dark souls

check No Rest for the Wicked if you want to see what a good ARPG + Souls is

PoE 2 right now have proper pace, they just have shit combat system and poorly designed skills

Since the OG left/got fired last week, we can expect 0.3 and onwards to be bangers

granted they have time to redesign most skills, wich i doubt, but in true Jonathan form, if they can get out of EA in 6 months, then they can change the combat system in 4 months for 0.3

wait, 4 month cycle, next is 0.3, 0.4 = 8 months? oops

OG ? you mean Chriss leving? In the interview they said he had left already for a LONG time from the company and was only in the board.
