You ruined this game.

In one big update you ruined this game. This game is supposed to be an ARPG.

It's not Sekiro.

It's not First Berserker Khazan.

It's not a bullet hell.

I should not need insane reflexes to fight a boss. I should not need to be avoiding so much shit on my screen that I can't even tell what is going on.

The original launch of POE2 was some of the most fun I've had with an ARPG. This update is absolute trash.

I love when people say what a game should and should not need. If devs want something in their game then it absolutely shoud be in it. Period.

With that thinking you would never succeed in the gaming industry. Wait till you realize that the consumers always reign supreme, and going against them is a very bad idea unless you know it's going to work.

The game sold over 5 million copies of ea and currently has 200k people playing on steam alone. Seems successful to me the way it is.More successful then poe1 ever was

I don't know what you talk about....Bosses are fair designed and theyr abilities well displayed.

Sounds like you want to 1-tap all content with potato gear & 1 button while watching Netflix. ^^

They're tons of ARPGs on the market where you can do so, in POE2 you have to pay attention while playing....sry. ;)

Like Diablo 4, that is practicaly dead 2 weeks after a new season thanks to all the complainer who cried at the release that "it's to hard" till they've trivialize it to death? ^^

You and all the complainer are not the "consumer", most of you probalby didn't even bought the supporter pack and rather begged for a key in the forums.....we real consumer, who've supported GGG for years with supporter packs purchases every league meanwhile play & love the game.

Has it flaws?....yes, ofc...but instead of hating 24/7 we play the game instead and try to improve it with constructive feedback. ;)

Totally agree, although I think the bosses being janky are a symptom of different problems entirely. Nerfing players into oblivion was not a good idea!

I also had loads of fun with 0.1.0 even though endgame was seriously lacking and unbalanced. Campaign was wonderful then. I have no idea how they dived deeper than the Mariana Trench with 0.2.0 release. Just insane, so I'll probs wait till 0.3.0 and try again because I'm passionate about this game/company and want it to succeed so badly

First impressions mid way through Act 1 is game feels great.

Haven't had any real challenges yet from bosses which is a bit sad compared to 0.1 but I'm expecting that to change.

I will pray for you brother, as I too fell victim from the start.

More successful than PoE1 ever was? Based on what? If you talk about financial gain in a short period of time, sure, PoE2 EA release is above PoE1.
But if you talk about player retention? Then not. Not atm.

PoE1 grew over the years from league to league most of the time.
While the overall player count of PoE2 is higher than it was in PoE1 because PoE2 attracted a bigger audience - the drop from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0 is significant.

PoE2 on EA release peaked at 578k, but patch 0.2.0 peaked only at 246k.
That's over half the ppl on Steam gone.

Depending how you define "success" - PoE1 is the goat of both.
You know, PoE1 was so successful that it financed PoE1 AND PoE2.

Another pointless thread. I mean, how comes i have so much fun playing??? Dont post stuff like being the final truth. Its not.
