Added slot machines and shills claim endgame is fixed

I know they added more than just the gamble box and reliquary keys but everyone knows those changes did nothing for endgame or made it worse.

The thing that streamers are happy for is the trash that ruined poe 1. Reliquary keys. that and the slot machine boxes. These give you more loot than mobs and you literally do nothing for them. just gacha mechanics. absolutely pathetic game design and i guarantee they will have p2w before "full release".

you can't see my posts from my other account that i deleted in protest of poe 2, but i've called every single thing that's happened in poe 1 and 2 for years. almost never wrong.

poe 2 is a failure from the ground up

Lol, this has to be a troll post.

Endgame has actually improved a lot compared to 0.1, and the game is faaar from being finished.

I assume you mean the new unique strongboxes when you say "Slot machine boxes". These are rare and random spawns on the map and they don't neccessarily give more or better loot than mobs, not sure what you are on about here.

p2w in PoE will never happen.
How the hell do you even get that idea?

Have you even played the game at all?
This is such a weird post

I suggest everybody reconstructs in detail everything about .1 endgame and compare it, you probably all remember it very well having spent 100+ hours in it. You don't want to go back, do you? :D

and frankly just offensive.

Can you explain how its offensive? Not trying argue, just want to understand your perspective better.

It's literally just a slot machine. It's not crafting. It shouldn't be in poe at all, 1 or 2.

It's not crafting. They nerfed crafting in poe 1 and 2 and then add literal slot machine to make up for it. they know it's addicting and when you get it to hit peoples dopamine explodes even tho they didn't actually craft it. sure you can increase the chance of the outcome in poe 1 but that doesn't make it crafting. just destroying peoples minds and getting them addicted to gambling so they buy their loot boxes. same for keys.

"improved" making bad changes doesnt mean it's improved. people could say idols were improvement in poe 1 but they'd be wrong lol

The game has been in development for 8+ years at this point. They know what the endgame is just like they had huntress back in 2019 when they revealed the game footage. Do you just fall for every line of bs from shills you watch?

Yes the strongboxes are slot machines that shouldn't exist in any game. idc how "rare" they are. they only exist for streamers to get every other map and get all their loot from it to trick people into playing. but either way it's just more gamba in this game. why do mobs even exist when you get everything from boxes, vendors, ritual item screens, expedition screens and everywhere else, except for pinnacle bosses

And p2w is literally already in poe 1 with cosmetics that have visual cues that you don't get unless you buy them and stash tabs. DO YOU PLAY THE GAME?

I"m speculating about where this game is going with what i see. it's already more riddled with rmt than poe 1 is lol

" I’m having fun and loving the changes, that’s just me I guess lol "

iTS NOT FUN FOR A LOT OF US.

YOU are the minority.

Almost all PoE2 enjoyers have private profiles and no supporter packs, weird.

I enjoy PoE2 and have bought quite a few supporter packs. I really doubt there is much correlation you're just making a stupid statement from one poster with no basis or data to back it up

Who are you to say who is a minority in this situation? The game hit 200k concurrent peak again both days on steam this weekend, it seems fairly consistent and that there are a lot of people still enjoying the game =.

I'm with you - lots of people clearly still enjoying the game. There are always these doomers who claim they play, but seemingly want nothing more than the game to fail. It's kind of sad really

Even reliquary keys are scam. Worst scam ever that wasn't stated in the Supporter Pack announcement. I wonder if you can sue them for wrong ads.

Since they added boss uniques into different "keys" basically gating things like Temporalis by sanctum only.

What absurd vision and having zero respect to supporters honestly. It was promised that uniques you choose are added to single key, which is global drop.

Move on, life is short, go have fun somewhere else.

I’m having fun and loving the changes, that’s just me I guess lol

Yeah, obviously "having fun" coming here to talk shit to OP instead of playing the game.

Hey, I can do it too!! You suck.

The endgame still has tons of problems,even if you ignore the widespread balance issues.

Crafting is still in a bad state. You can beat most of the endgame with very cheap gear(assuming you're playing one of the 5 viable skills). But if you want to improve your gear, you're going to have to spend dozens of div in each slot. This is because all of the meta crafting options are prohibitively rare. Effectively once you reach maps, you character will stay at that power level deep into t15 maps. If you can't improve your character, why even play the game?

It takes way too long get passive points for the end game league mechanics. I focused on ritual from t1 all the way to 40/40 atlas passive points, and I still haven't dropped an audiance of the king.

Loot from maps with low to medium investment is horrible, not to mention the passive points for rogue exile, essence etc don't feel impactfull at all.

So much of this of this game is polarizing.Instead of a steady upwards curve of progression, most of the games systems are a flat line with a massive spike at the very end. Jonathan has said a main focal point of this game, is to bridge the gap between casuals and no lifers. So far they are failing that task miserably, and they haven't said anything about how they are going to adress that problem.

The game in it's current state has so many foundational problems, and they still have so much content to implement. I don't see how it could possibly be ready for launch this year.
