PoE can be so fun, but the game honestly feels like a cluster-f***. There's 700 league mechanics, 816474819174 different types of loot you can pick up and utilitize, and so much content that changes EVERY single season, buffs, nerfs, new things, removed things. I honestly don't know how you all keep up with the changes and live an enjoyable life. The "best" way to play the game is to BLOCK every component they introduced in the game so you can run your favorite content through loops holes in game mechanics. It's exhausting and I quit after a week of trying to enjoy the game every league.


it's interesting to think about, the more complex poe becomes, the more i think how great d2 is lol

that memory/thought just continues to scale..

D2 is a great game. PoE is also a great game.
Unfortunately, more does not ALWAYS equal better. PoE feels like a chore with all the clutter and content. They continue to add more while simultaneously changing and manipulating past content as soon as you get used to it. It is nearly impossible to keep up with if you are not actively researching or watching twitch streamers, I guess?

Think about this.. the "best" way to play PoE is to install numerous helpful tools like loot filters, poe enhancer, path of building, poe awakened, and I'm sure there's multiple others you guys use that I don't know about to help you play the game more "fluidly" and "neatly" just to get an edge and/or reduce the hassle of the current state of the game. GGG should work on these things instead of adding more and more content and depth. This is obviously my personal opinion and my own personal experience.

Sometimes I just want to log-in and kill shit and build my character from Point A to Point B. Don't force me to unlock ALL the content just to BLOCK certain content which I do not find fun. Skipping content is not a solution, it's a work-around.

*Just some thoughts from a casual nerd. Have a nice day yall~

that's how i feel too. and i've been playing since anarchy league~. right now, i just usually get to maps and then the fallout begins. heaven forbid if i skip a league or two, if that happens, i need time to watch some videos and read a bit to get caught up (not that bad, sometimes it's exciting)

my buddy was hyped af for this league and wanted me to play, i was like aight let's go! we used to play together back in torment, breach, and blight. but now, he just rage quits at like act 3/4. he never tells me why, just says "fuck poe" lol

Massive complains everywhere on reddit or official website: loot, craft, flasks, players defenses nerfed since a while and even more this league while one-shot and/or immortal archnemesis mods are everywhere.
Kalandra league has a good start design, but nothing really big behind it. Do you think ggg CAN fix its shit at some point ?


Reddit is probably the worse play to go for reviews.

I kinda see what ggg was going for. Loot in Diablo 2 is minimal and it feels like Christmas when you find something good. Maybe if they did this from the start of PoE then no1 would care, but now people got used to being showered with loot that taking that away is a nono.

The scale is different, there's no pvp in poe, and you cant get to endgame in 1 hour. Poe has like 10 or 20 times more content than d2, advanced crafting, monsters speed is completely different etc ... IMHO being a successor doesn't means being the same.
There always much more loot than D2, they cant do a simple look like d2. Did you count the amount of Uniques in both games ? The amount of skills ? Thus it gone out of hands.

They got some work to do to fix all of this stuff but the conversations in here have been crazy 😂

Only thing you need for PoE is path of building, loot filter, and realistically 50 bucks spent on stash tabs.

Not a simple game but was never meant to be, there are a lot of basic games out there for people.

If D2 was checkers then PoE would be chess.

Both are great for their Own reasons.
