Dawn Of the Hunt Feedback: Please Read

Please read this with an open mind. I love this game, but I'd hate for it to fall victim to this philosophy that everything must be slowed down. I know this is early access, and changes are always around the corner. However, I notice that the vision of this game is turning into something only a vocal minority wants. It's one thing to slow the gameplay down so you can see boss mechanics. However, it's another thing when you sit there hitting away at a sponge, sometimes 10 minutes or more. It gets to a point where it gets boring midway through the boss fight because it's such a slug. Then you combine the slowed times it takes to get through maps and areas, sometimes going back to previous acts to farm to progress to the next act because I decided to play around and use a non-meta build. It's a bad game philosophy if this is what is intended. People will get burnt out if it is slowed down to this much of a crawl; this sort of speed is not compatible with seasonal leagues. Not many people would want to go through this type of slugfest every few months. I'm sure there's a vocal minority out there that loves this and thinks it's great; however, I urge you to look at the bigger picture. Look at video creators as well; they echo some of these same feelings and genuine criticisms; some of these creators almost sound the same when saying what's currently wrong. obviously, there's a pattern here that something is not working if multiple people are saying the same thing. There are some creators that back these changes, I won't deny. However, the difference is that they typically have nothing of substance to say other than calling people differing opinions "p***ys" or "get better," which is hardly a valid counterpoint and anything but constructive or conducive to improving the game. On the same note, the game does NOT need to be fast like PoE1; I agree with that sentiment. It can still be a slower-paced game, but this was way too much. I love the game's core mechanics and mixes of new ARPG elements. Some of these new elements are going to work, and some of these are not; just be willing to adapt and don't get sucked into an echo chamber of very few opinions.
