Game is not bad at all, I enjoy playing it.
It is extremly close to poe1 in many aspects thou what kinda suprised me... to me it feels more like a big patch than an actual new game tbh... not sure yet if thats a good or a bad thing haha but its fun to play so far!

idk man

10k hours in PoE1 and I can't see myself going back as far as gameplay goes

They need to polish up the endgame/drop rates for crafting mats early on; once we get the other weapons and their skill gems it should open up more builds.

Right now it feels super constrained when I compare it to PoE1, but I expected as much.

GGG nerfing more skills
Map loot screenshots are being shared, it's ruthless difficulty levels of loot.
Dark Souls style boss mechanics, dodge or die.

copium is off the charts.

I've simply logged out of poe2 at this point.
Made it to maps and it doesn't get better...

thanks !1 but yes its kinda anticlimactic



maybe they improve it! but the pressure is building, that "its our vision" PR bullshit wont fly, they can either make the game less tedious or its DOA

edit: does anyone have troubles with quoting or is it just me

Man, I tried again and it is complete trash:

bad arenas - all are mazes (did they ever play Diablo 2? or POE 1?)
combat where you circle around monsters and shoot at them? in POE 1 we at least had different types of movement skills
super slow characters, what is tedius
if you die, monsters respawn (wtf!!!!)
if u die, u have to clear again the map AND you have to walk all this way
character walking at snail's pace
bad itemization
bad drops
tree looks like there are no real choices
flasks barely get charges
no life regen
ah you can teleport to town (loading screen) and teleport back (loading screen) to get flask charges? wtf
dark graphics look trash


Diablo 1 was also a slower game: but it was FUN, you didnt need to backtrack that much; mostly you used doors. Also since 1996 games moved on
Diablo 2 had much better areas, the monsters were not overtuned - you were the one murdering the monsters, not the ones were murdering you when they surround you and gang up on you on another boring slow arena

also what is with the super tedius playstyle that avery screen there is a pack of monsters... it's like trash
and you cant push forward fast, cant really dodge the monsters - if you die, they repawn too?

the game is not even hard, is just tedius piece of trash

this might be the worst game ever made

womp womp

if you like the game play if not move on lol

I've played more poe2 than the past 3 leagues in Poe 1...
