Im having a blast. I stay away from reddit, forums, YT AND TWITCH. I even disabled general chat.

AND CAN YOU GUESS WHAT I NOTICED???

My level of fun skyrocketed. Isnt that someting.

Is the game in a perfect state? NO
Do i belive the devs working their asses of to make this product the best it ever can be? YES
Will this game feel more balanced over time? YES
Why does PoE 1 feel so much better than PoE 2? 10 years in the making do that to a product and as time goes on with more patches more legues PoE 2 will get there
Does this patch SUCK? NO, the minorities will ALWAYS makes the loadest noice because the MAJORITY is to busy doin their own thing.
So this patch doesnt suck? I started playing Asherons Call 2001 and since then i more or less only played MMO games. Thats 24 years ago. And tbh i dont think i ever experienced a patch that didnt have a huge outburst. Whether it be in WoW, Diablo 3-4, SWTOR, GW 2, Warhammer online etc etc etc bla bla blaaaaa and so on..

So yeah, i ignore the noice and im having a blast.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like the game has gotten really tedious. There’s clearly something off—it feels weird and definitely different from how it was in 0.1.

I had a lot of fun in 0.1 playing a bunch of different classes, even the ones that were pretty bad compared to the top tiers. I played a ton with Witch Blood and Witch Hunter, and I also tried out a Deadeye and a Monk.

I hate repeating the campaign—it honestly gives me anxiety—but even so, I ran it multiple times back then because it was actually fun. There was a really cool flow to it, and reaching endgame felt rewarding. That’s definitely not the case in 0.2.

This time around, I dragged myself through the campaign. It took me two and a half days to finish it, and by the time I was done, I was already burned out. Still, I decided to give the new endgame a shot—and honestly, there are some really good things there! But the corrupted nexus RNG is so frustrating. Even then, I don’t think that’s the core issue...

Are you guys having fun? Like, are you really enjoying the game? Right now I’m sitting at 3 days, 4 hours, and 5 minutes played, and I’m already thinking of dropping it... It just feels like something’s missing. I can’t quite explain it. Maybe it’s just me.

Repeating campaign is main part of league starter. I think GGG must add microtransaction to skip campaign. But it was realy painful to start new league for me in 0.2, it feels incredibly tedious and slow. Killing mobs by 20+ hits in the 1 act is not okay. in 0.1 i ran about 8 times. And every run took like 7-8 hours for me. I could run by any class and it was okay - i could kill any bosses. In 0.2.0 well..if you are not going through acts by spear you litteraly can't complete acts. All skills nerfed to beyond. I tryied before HP nerf mobs. And i droped after 1 act. I was exhausted and bored. I've used bow skills. I didn't died but boss took about 10 minutes to kill.
Then i tried again after patch. Game became less tedious but still i coudn't kill anyone by using xbow skills. Then i took spear and it was day and night - i ran through 1 acts like it was in 0.1. Then i took again xbow and tried at 2 act...and again my damage became miserable, i could kill white mobs by 2-3 rounds only. And i dropped again. I've tested few builds on standart league by using legacy items and im done for that season. There is no point to play engame - power cap for any builds became so low. 100 divines and you litteraly can't make your character stronger. There is no endgame loot what can be desired. And i dropped again till next league. Even Jonathan fix balance, there is no endgame content in this league

You really only notice it around level 88-90+ but you are exactly right. There is no endgame anymore unlike in 0.1. All the items that one could farm for (Time-Lost, Grand Spectrum, Adorned Diamond with getting perfectly corrupted 3-mod magic jewels, Heroic Tragedy, Temporalis, Queen of the Forest based builds, Morior Invictus with 5 socket corruption, HoWA gloves) in 0.1 were completely murdered by the nerfs and changes to the passive tree that theres no point in getting them anymore. My character is at LV 90 with around 15-20 div build and I honestly dont know what else there is left to get as all of the above doesnt exist anymore or is simply not worth it by far.
In 0.1 these items would give you builds worth 200+ div (400+ with Temporalis) but therefore reward you with insane teleport/movement speed or drastic power increases (Adorned Diamond doubling your corrupted magic jewels, triple Grand Spectrum giving you like 80 spirit, Against the Darkness providing 70+ spirit and resitances, etc. etc. etc.). That not only gave you smth to look forward to and an incentive to keep farming but when you finally got it done it would reward you with noticable powerups that changed your game experience (for the better!), similar to legendary items in D2 like Enigma. Thats what kept most ppl playing. And it was killed. Now there is nothing left to do after you reach T16-18 maps. You can get there with 10-20 div builds and then what? Keep slamming every semi decent rare you find in hopes of getting a 1% power increase? Sry thats pathetic. The endgame became MUCH worse in 0.2 as there just isnt any items worth farming and hence also no point in trying to become strong enough to down T4 pinnacles as their drops now uniformly suck....
