Is this game actually fun anymore? It feels like it’s getting worse and worse!
|
Path of Exile 2 started out as a more challenging game that differentiated itself from the first by being more deliberate and difficult, but there was valid criticism about how slow and unrewarding progression was and enemies being too fast for the player combos, which I agree with, but now the game has just fully morphed into PoE 1.5, but PoE 1 is just a better version of that type of game. PoE 2 has no reason to exist anymore other than a graphical update, which I think should have just been applied to the first game instead. Give us the original gameplay idea of poe2 but with more drops and slower enemies. Why are they making a worse version of a game they already made?

I think the story in 2 is way more interesting and campain way more fun. Also endgame story has better potential than in 1.
It is still EA tho. |

I suggest that the gameplay for this season should not be included as a core element. This design has serious flaws and I have no idea who designed it. GGG Company should immediately fire this designer.

PoE2 should be simpler and better but they step backward by creating Temple and stupid atalas.
All I need is PoE1 better visuals and some simplification of crafting. But simplification, not castration like current PoE2 style exalt slam. PoE2 = Patch of Slog

I feel the opposite if anything. There are bugs present, but that's to be expected with a game in EA. Overall the balance is much better with a lot of variety in builds. The endgame needs more content for sure, but overall I feel the direction is much better know and probably the best state the game has been in so far. Seems to be what most are thinking too, that once the endgame is fixed the game will be in a good state.
Hopefully they can make some small adjustments though and you can enjoying it again. Good luck in 0.5 or 3.28 though! |

game keeps getting better for me
however the longer/more i play, the more some faults keep glaring you in the face and popping out like crazy. just small faults that pile up over waystone after waystone. like how much bullshit is in the middle of every map. i hate playing merry-go-round with a pack of monsters because half choose to go around one way and the other half go the other way, running around obstacles to get to you theres just too much crap in the middle of maps. if they want that stuff there, great, but let us walk through it or something. feels like im playing plinko clearing these maps out. and im the chip. just stuff like that |

@xMustard#3403 is right
A big problem is the map layouts, way too many obstacles between you and the mobs. They refused to make the maps smaller or give us movement speed and as a band aid they gave us sprint, but sprint gets stuck in all the small obstacles. Even skills get stuck. I tried playing Wyvern with Rolling Magma and the skill colides and dissapears with every small obstacle. It's also the COMBOS that are wearing me down. This should be a grinding game and if you add combos to a grindy game then you will tire faster. Not only i have to do combos i must constantly micromanage my power charges and now with the new sprint i must also insert dodge roll into sprint between all my attacks. Game requires too many buttons to press to be able to comfortly play it for longer sesions. |

" you forgot the first bandaid - checkpoints!!! and literally like half of the map locations i run still only have two checkpoints. one at the start of the map and one at the boss, with a whole plate full of spaghetti inbetween another thing that ticks me off is stun. stunning monsters causes them to move so far away from you, the entire stun duration is spent just catching up to them again to try to hit them just many small things like that become big things after thousands of hours of playtime. |
