What does poe2 do better than any other ARPG??
|
Combat devolves into 1 button spam by act 3.
End game is tedious at best. Story is written by AI. Graphics are mediocre. Crafting doesnt exist. Quality of life/UI abysmal as well. Classes are boring and uninspired while also horribly unbalanced Unique's are aggressively lame. Level design is awful. Multiplayer is barely functional. Trading is archaic and gets your account hacked. Customer service doesn't exist. Communication laughable. Stability/crashing is probably among the worst of 2024 releases. Game barely works. What if anything does this game do better than the previous game or D4? They have bungled every conceivable metric of this game. All it had was hype and now that the hype has died we see the game is just an awful mess. This game is a bigger disappointment than D4 and a unquestionable EPIC FAIL.

unfortunately you are right.
Skills are trash too. |

Have you ever played another ARPG? And no, D4 is not a game.
" Only if you want to play a 1-button build. Otherwise, you can create builds that use more than that. But most ppl, like you, who say "it's only 1 button spam" lack the knowledge to create something else and/or wouldn't even play a build that relies on setting up combinations. " Compared to PoE1? Sure. Compared to other ARPGs? Nope. And it makes sense that the end game isn't where it should be when GGG started developing the end game only 3 months before the "Early Access" release. Not really difficult to understand. " No, it's not. If you would actually know and understand the story, you would see that it is handwritten. Many things refer to things from PoE1 and are deeply entangled with the overall lore of "Path of Exile". Do you need to like the story? No. But don't pretend it's AI when it's not. Such nonsense devalues anything you say afterwards. You basically lose all your credibility. " Again, wrong. There isn't a single ARPG on the market with better graphics. Other games with better graphics do not devalue the quality of the graphics of PoE2. " Technically - crafting exists. So saying it doesn't is false. The problem with crafting is - that the game has not enough crafting methods atm, and the tools that exist are extremely unbalanced. This stuff will be adjusted and fixed over the "Early Access" time. " The UI needs improvement, no doubt, that's why the game is in EA, and ppl can provide feedback. You know, like it is done in this thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3707599 " That you don't like the classes/ascendancies is subjective, so I don't have an objection to it, but pointing out the balance is a non-argument. It was literally stated that GGG uses the "Early Access" to balance things like classes, items, currency, bosses, mechanics etc. If you can't grasp that - it's a you problem. " Basically re-read what I wrote above and add - unique in PoE where always designed with different uses. Some are meant as low level items, some are overall powerful, some are build-enabling, and some are only great for hyper specific builds. And furthermore, nothing in this game is finalized atm, especially not when most stuff isn't in the current version. " Again, subjective. You could make an actual feedback post where you say what you think is awful about the level design and give them some ideas on how to improve it. You know, real constructive feedback and not just yapping. " Why? What does not function besides bugs and general balance? " Classic. Spreading misinformation. Where did you get that "information" that accounts get hacked because you trade? From reddit? It literally did not happen. The "hacked" accounts had nothing to do with "engaging in trade". Inform yourselves before stating something like this. There isn't any hack that abuses your trading to get your account. That's not how the systems work, especially not the access to account information. " It does. And they normally do a great job. The GGG support is known for their good work. The problem is that a ton of problems occurred with this "Early Access" and ppl sending tickets for all kinds of stuff. They even made a statement to clarify things, but I guess something like this gets ignored: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3703227 " Dude... you are in "Early Access" - basically the beta version of the game before it's finished and polished for the full release. In development, the "optimization" is the last thing that is done for multiple reasons. For example, GGG don't has hundreds of thousands of PC systems to test all possible performance differences and issues, that's why developers have often phases like this where they gather data from the testers to iron out these things for the full release. It's not like developing a game only for a console where the "system" only has ONE shader. With all the countless different PC's out there... it takes some time to optimize stuff. " Well, nobody forces you to play the game. If you think that D4 is better - go paly it. I would recommend that you learn to understand what "Early Access" for games in development means and then think a second about your judgement.

" Nah that excuse doesnt fly anymore. Games been out for 4 months. Has a fully functional cash shop. It costs 30$. Its released bro. Its time for the excuses to stop and the devs to get off the couch and do something. Game is dead and there are debates on steam on whether this constitutes abandonware. All the cope in the world cant save this mess. Sad day for gaming to see shady tactics like this. |

Web trading bazaar is also an anti-human design that is decades behind.
It's 2025 now, and there are such backward designs. Disappointing |

" Wrong. It's not an excuse. GGG stated BEFORE the "Early Access" release that it will probably last 6-12 months. And that was before they realised that they need more time. " What has the cash shop to do with anything? Are you just saying things to slander GGG? The cash shop isn't even fully functional, and even more important, 99% of MTX is missing. " BREAKING: "Early Access" to a game can cost something! Again, what has that to do with anything? It's just a beta with a paid access. Is this something new to you? " Yes, "Early Access" release, but NOT full release. Early Access released on version 0.1.0 and the next update in 3 weeks will be version 0.2.0 until the game is finished, polished and gets its version 1.0.0 status. If you would know ANYTHING about development you wouldn't say these weird things because it makes you look stupid. " It's weird that I am not allowed to call you a troll for statements like this because it would breach the "Code of Conduct" for antagonising you, but antagonising GGG (the devs) is totally fine. Good for you, I guess. Anyway. The devs spend the entire time working on the game since they came back from their holidays, so you just saying "they are not working" is a blatant lie and based on nothing. " Yeah buddy, good luck with nonsense like this. GGG provided smaller patches over the months and will release a big content update in 3 weeks... that's not how "abandonware" looks like. By your "logic" you would have said that "Baldur's Gate 3 - Early Access" was a scam and abandonware too, because even in years we only had Act 1 to test. |

" If you don’t like a game, don’t play it whether it’s in beta like this or full release like Avowed. Why did I just say Avowed? Well it got great reviews and I loved its Pillars of Eternity predecessors but didn’t like it myself but I’m not on the Obsidian forums to say how good Pillars games are or how much I dislike Avowed ;) (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division)

" Avowed? It's ok. Btw., watch Fleekazoid's review if you haven't seen it. |

It does almost everything better and only needs minor tweaks. If you compare anything to d4 you have no taste.

" Objection! The abs from the female Barbarian are tasty! Besides that - you are right. |
