Poe2 is becoming more and more like D4. Why would they copy the game everybody hates instead of following what they've learnt from Poe1? Now it feels just like D4 - boring campaign where you struggle with resources constantly, then in the endgame everybody is just playing the same 3 op builds oneshotting bosses and whole screen and every new fun build using intended interactions are just being nerfed to the ground instantly. Mapping is just like NM dungeons - boring xp grind with no loot, especially from the bosses. Instead of quality of life they are pushing these annoying mechanics like salvaging and autocasting buffs, so you would have to play a nobrainer piano spamming multiple buttons. Uniques are mostly crap, item mods are boring, same with runes, no real crafting. Same like D4 just picking and filtering hundreds of items, hoping to find a decent one. Even the first 'league' is a major disappointment just like it was in D4. Just adding a mod to a rare mob which can drop a few new runes and fking corrupted boss which is a joke and you call it a new league mechanic? Now after 2 weeks the league is dead already and after 3 months they will make a new reset with almost no new content?

i think poe2 is in worse state than d4 actually :unsure:

d2 players have trolled d4 players for so long that they dont give a fuck anymore. they embraced the cringe. as much as d4 is...not the best game, they are enjoying it. you cant even troll them, they will literally ignore you :mellow: its like going to a screening of "the room", everyone is just throwing plastic spoons and having fun, and if you say "how are you having fun, its a shit movie?", they will not care :mellow:

now poe2 is a bunch of elitists used to a higher quality game and they do NOT take it well. its like putting an upper class french lady in a bad part of albania, which is any part of albania, and watching her struggle with daily activities :unsure: she will just want to go back, but there is no going back. everything is albania now. the only thing she can do now is cry, which she will :mellow:

It's not really as bad as D4 but i agree there are so many out of touch decisions, i can see poe2 failing pretty hard

Not about difficulty, it's just boring af, horrible endgame
