Please stop bad nerfs to the campaign (Silverfist, Viper, Dreadnaught)

It seems most people agree the campaign is the best part of the game, and also maybe the best campaign in any ARPG ever.

I'm not sure why it keeps being changed/nerfed...

My favorite boss was Viper, but she was nerfed. My favorite monster zone was the Dreadnaught, felt like an epic sprint leading up to the Act 2 boss, but it was nerfed.

And now maybe the best clip farm boss of all time and one of the most fun parts of the game Silverfist was nerfed.

I don't mind if their end-game versions are toned down, but you're taking a masterpiece of a campaign and making it worse for no reason while every1 is giving the feedback that the campaign is awesome.

Please stop :)

True!

The Silverfist nerf is a terrible decision. I honestly don't know what GGG wants from their game at this point. If the goal is to make it a bland stroll through the campaign, so you can get to maps and have no idea how to play your character (since you weren't challenged), then they are doing a great job with the nerfs.

yeah, casuals ruining game.. tuning difficulty to "one time experience" as it's fun now only if you are first-time playing. If you learn game - boss didn't need to be learned.


at this point they just tone game to casuals and zooming community
which mean it's the same as poe 1 and will share same palyer count and target base

while was promoted as harder and slower.. good lie

I don't get why you people can't just self-impose restrictions on your playthroughs. You don't HAVE to play turbo meta through the PoE 2 campaign on softcore every time, you know?

There are tens of thousands of Soulslikes on Steam you can download right now to scratch your alleged difficulty itch, all of which have better gameplay than PoE 2.

This could be easily solved with a Torment difficulty selectable from the start that would make everything harder, but also reward more XP.

That way, the player can tailor his experience regarding risk and reward for the campaign.

It is definitely the worst part

i hate campaigns

rather them yeet it out of existence tbh

that being said, ill play thru them regardless of difficulty so i can play the real game

viper, silverfist and act 2 boss need a massive buff. everyone should die to them at least 20 times before they can move forward.

Viper was horrible because there was no choreography to avoid her mechanics with skill other than to abuse a frame of immunity with your dodge roll, and the game never trained you that that was a perk of dodge roll that you should rely on. The new Viper is infinitely better. The fight was a Chaos Res check and the game didn't provide you with any chaos resistance either before you had to face her.
