So 0.4.0 Released yesterday. Already bored. Game play pacing is way off.

POE 2 is not hard, what is difficult is finding a build that appeals to me to try and go through the campaign again. Right now surprisingly its the plant/storm druid build.
how are some people taking 1h to do the Rust King quest with any class or skill is beyond me.
I've never done lightning arrows or lightning spear or the bow/crossbow early cheese and that quest never took me more than 15min at worse.


What are you all doing ? Falling asleep while playing ?

Sounds like skill issues to me, zero knowledge. The only thing i can agree on is that act 3 feels a bit to long.

So sharing my experience and what i think needs fixing is a skill issue correct? You might have a different opinion but this is you being childish cause you disagree with me. Aside from that to address the obvious ragebait i am pretty sure i am miles better than you will ever be.

the rust king took me at most 5 minutes. I swear 99% of the complaints here on this forum are just from really bad players who wanna blame the game and not their crappy builds.

Just to counter the shills - PoE 2 has already lost half of its population in an year - 570k at launch, 290k on Friday. Mind you, this was a FREE weekend, so in reality this number is even less. Despite the huge "hype" surrounding the Druid the league had a worse start than the previous one, which was in the summer. Finally, the issues are not only with gameplay but also with performance, pretty horrible when you are trying to make free players pay.



I said it before, so many of the biggest POE2 defenders will gaslight people into saying the game is great, then they stop playing just as fast as POE1 players stop playing new leagues, despite poe1 being 13 years old.


They can't be enjoying the clunky combat and slow movement speed as much as they claim when POE2 has legit 15k daily peaks last week, the game isn't even a year old and its sub 20k daily peaks before league launch.


I think a lot of this is kinda valid concerns with misleading comparisons. Player drop-off after launches happens in every ARPG, including PoE1, and raw peak numbers without context (early access, wipes, patch cadence, free weekends) don’t really say much about long-term health. PoE 2 is still pre-1.0, actively changing, and objectively reviewing very well for something this early. Performance and pacing have already improved patch to patch, and GGG has been adjusting based on feedback rather than “gaslighting” anyone.

Personally, I overwhelmingly love PoE 2 because it’s not just PoE 1 again, and I’m excited to see how much better it gets by the time 1.0 launches. It’s clearly becoming a better game with each update.

The only thing childish here is you people complaining and by doing so, forcefully wanting the game to be turned into PoE 1.

So like some people have already said, you do not like the pacing in PoE 2, feel free to go back to PoE 1 or any other aRPG.

Many people, including me, are enjoying the pacing and overall design of combat in PoE 2.

No amount of gaslighting, complaining and pretending you speak for everyone, will change PoE 2 into PoE 1.

What you people can't possibly grasp that what you are doing isn't feedback, you're all acting like spoiled kids who don't like the new toy they got to play with and instead want that toy turned into your old toy, the one you like more.

That will never happen, get over it and move on.

NAAAH you people arent real, when he said 1hour it meant one hour from start of the game? how do you even think he spent 1 hours on that one map, you mentioning 5 minutes just confirms you thought that specific map [Removed by Support]

This guy is part of the little 20-30 person crew on this forum that just sit here all day and try their best to make it POE 1. Its really kind of sad tbh

we get they don't like the game but they can play POE 1 whenever they want and they rather spend their time bashing a game they don't even like instead of having fun in POE 1


In a post where I blamed it more on me as a player, rather than PoE2 itself, you are still putting me in a "crew" just because I, in a thread about people being bored of PoE2, dare to mention that I prefer PoE1?

I'm playing the hell out of PoE1, not sure what you're getting at. You mean you're not playing PoE2 because you're here?

Come on, debate in good faith.

Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

This is the most ironic, least self-aware post I've ever seen on a forum.

Also, I quit in act 3. I couldn't slog through it again. So freaking boring.
This league is 0.2+

They OBVIOUSLY shadow-nerfed drop rates of currency, I've been doing T15+ maps for a day and have yet to see a divine. 117% rarity btw.

Removing homogenizing omens absolutely killed crafting. Guess we can all watch Belton and the rest of the jsp gang craft their mirror gear.

I just lost all interest after a couple day. I was giga hyped but this is a massive miss. They insist on making this game both casual and slow at the same time, it's absurd.
