Not anymore. Was fun until I hit the real endgame. Everything Kripp said at the beginning stands true, they should listen to him.

Im having a blast. I stay away from reddit, forums, YT AND TWITCH. I even disabled general chat.

AND CAN YOU GUESS WHAT I NOTICED???

My level of fun skyrocketed. Isnt that someting.

Is the game in a perfect state? NO
Do i belive the devs working their asses of to make this product the best it ever can be? YES
Will this game feel more balanced over time? YES
Why does PoE 1 feel so much better than PoE 2? 10 years in the making do that to a product and as time goes on with more patches more legues PoE 2 will get there
Does this patch SUCK? NO, the minorities will ALWAYS makes the loadest noice because the MAJORITY is to busy doin their own thing.
So this patch doesnt suck? I started playing Asherons Call 2001 and since then i more or less only played MMO games. Thats 24 years ago. And tbh i dont think i ever experienced a patch that didnt have a huge outburst. Whether it be in WoW, Diablo 3-4, SWTOR, GW 2, Warhammer online etc etc etc bla bla blaaaaa and so on..

So yeah, i ignore the noice and im having a blast.

I think you got your majorities mixed up.
The majority is the one with the most people, not the imaginary ones off happy someplace playing PoE2. Those would be the minority.

The thousands of forum pages of unhappy people.
Those are a majority.
See how that means that the number of negative comments are MORE.. not Increased MORE ..

Like in this chart here where on launch there were MORE people playing and now there are less.

When the number of people playing fell below 50% of those who started playing.
Then the Majority are Unhappy.

See

Here is a chart to help ...
Notice it is trending down and has been non stop ... meaning ....
That's right .. the majority are not happy.

See how there was a spike that didnt make it to 50% of the start and started trending downward ... that's not good.

it took 50 days to cut 500,000 in half.
it looks like they could cut 250,000 to under 100,000 in a quarter of that time.
Just a few less character creation options, less loot and few more tedious mandatory side game elements .. like ascension Ill bet we could get PoE2 down to being hosted on a toaster.

Honestly its like playing a d3 season, you have the illusion of fun at first. then after a few days the motivation to play is gone.

In short, no.

Wtb 3.26

NO after 16 hours still crawling to campaign, no loot, no fun combat, just boring long boss fights, it's terrible. I didn't play Epoch a lot because it felt slow, but definitely going to try that super speedy game in 2 day's. Hell even snails cut in 4, are faster then this tedious boring slog, no loot, just 1 boring slog. Did I mention this is a boring tedious slog, well if not just to be sure, it's a fucking tedious unrewarding, "disrespectful of someone's gaming time" boring slog.

I’ll admit, it even makes me feel bad seeing how many people are unhappy and frustrated — way more than the opposite...

It's clear that GGG needs to bounce back and bring back that magic — make the challenges in Path of Exile 2 fun, satisfying, and rewarding again. I truly believe they will pull it off eventually, but unfortunately, I don't think it's going to happen in patch 0.2.

I had high hopes for yesterday’s patch, but now it feels like maybe we’ll only see something really good next week, or maybe not until 0.3.

There are fundamental problems, theyre just tweaking numbers.

There is nothing that can create motivation in the player. Its just a grinding simulator. Poe1 gives you that feeling of goals and achievement. Poe2 does not light up that part of my brain.

I really try but no.

For me, not really. I started the league late after they "fixed" a bunch of stuff. I got to maps, but just nothing good ever drops and it's like pulling teeth to get anything done.

I don't mind trading here and there, but it felt like I was supposed to be trading numerous times throughout the campaign just to have the boss fights not take like 5 minutes. Instead I just tried to play very well to pass a few very hard ones (and managed) but it all just feels pointless.

I want to play ARPGs to find/craft loot not to just trade exalts to someone else who found it.

To me trading is great when you want to try some off-the-wall build that combos uniques together or when you really, really want that late map power spike. I feel the instance on early trade just makes the game a huge, slow grind.
