Game is way too slow now

There were way too many nerfs that have affected movement speed.

Some people want it even more slower than it is right now, this feels surreal.

Honestly, the slow pace is unbearable. I killed uber abitrer and it was extremely unsatisfying.

Tried poison arrow, it was not fun to play at all, especially with that speed nerf.

Went back and tried minion again, and it was so slow it got the better of me. I can't play this game anymore in it's current state, it's just way too slow end the end game is still completely lacking in stuff to do and it's not fun.

The servers are in a shitty state because people are creating too many instances to farm vaal temple, which btw was not your greatest mechanic.

Fought atziri once and never touched that again.

Also, limiting the rare augments to 1 socket has to be the worst feeling of all the nerfs you've done. It's really really bad.

If this game gets any slower than it is right now in 0.5, I don't think I'll ever play again and I have 2100+ hours in.

One last EDIT:
The limit to 1 rare socketable augment, is absolutely the worst nerf that GGG ever made to POE2. Not only that feels extremely bad but it effectively ruined many good items. So in fact, itemization is vastly worse because of it.

Darkness enthroned was a fantastic belt and is now hot trash. The spirit reservation rune for minion was slightly buffed to 8 from 6, but limiting it to one is absolutely disgusting. You can't double socket it in your Darkness enthroned and what's even worse, you can't use extra ones in your actual helmet.

Before, if you had 2 sockets in helm + darkness enthroned, that was 4 rare runes you could use for spirit reservation.

These type of nerfs are absolutely barbaric and you usually feel them in endgame. What's the point of playing a slow game where itemization gets butchered like that? I slept on it, woke up this morning and it actually feels worse than yesterday. I am absolutely done with this game.

unfortunately things will only get worse because the devs listen to the ruthless enjoyer crowd and nerf whatever they ask for.so many threads here asking for nerfs. its unbelievable. you never see people asking for nerfs on the poe1 forums. but for some reason the crowd here loves nerfs and wants everything ruined for others
there are like 5000 nodes that give you movement speed now what are you talking about. my oracle has +40% movement speed without even trying that hard.

Yes of course, five thousands nodes.

The game is much faster than 0.3 right?

Yeah I'm done with this game.

The feedback forum also has to be one of the worst place I've ever interact with a player base that are never satisfied with the game being slow enough and more tactical, but we are playing a hack and slash.

I have the exact same feeling as when someone told me Starwars 8 is not only a great movie, it's the best movie of all time.

I just can't do this anymore, good luck with whatever you want this game to be.

They keep pushing for slow and methodical combo play but at the end of the day this is a grinding game.

It's not like Dark Souls where you strugle to kill a boss and after you finaly learned it's moves you killed the boss and claimed it's rewards

No, it's a game where you must kill that boss a thousent times for 1% chance of it's reward.

That means you must find ways to do that fast. Slow and methodical goes out the window if the main purpose of the game is to grind stuff 24/7 without developing parkinson from pushing 10 combo buttons per second to kill a pack of 3 white mobs every 5 screens.

WHAAAT

poe2 is too fast

too easy

please dont listen ggg!
I don't know what builds u played this league, but if u wanna blast through maps and have a great time give Werewolf a try. Invoker is really fun and snappy, but Druid seems to be fine aswell.

There are some really fast and fun builds around right now.

Yeah melee is definitely more stressful than ranged. Wolf shines once u have really good gear tho, because at that point it really doesn't matter anymore. U're freezing half the screen and explode like 2 screens with herald of ice and armour explosion. On top of that as invoker with shattering palm u just teleport from pack to pack and watch everything explode, it's pretty satisfying.
