Is the problem Jonathan?
" Zizaran is the worst. I'll never forget how he kept trying to push for one-button builds pretending he cares about disabled people... the most yikes thing I've ever heard. "Sigh"

" That is the exact issue a lot of folk have said about this iteration of the game Fun This league and its direction has not been fun, it has not excited me to make more characters to explore what they have made If you can't even get something as fundemental as fun correct, then you stand no chance having this model as your success Without proper polls, feedback and Data we are just a bunch of passionate gamers bickering over stuff I didnt have fun doing the campaign and definately wont do it again unless changes happen (POE model needs replayability to survive) I did however have fun once i reached endgame, i have enjoyed those changes although tweaks are needed, but overall i enjoyed that Been here since Open Beta.

" Most of the folks not having fun are the POE 1 veterns who are shocked its not POE 1. At least from what I see from people screaming into the void. GGG also listens to the people who give critiques are always quick to act. |

I think it's unfair to say that
The entire team is at ""fault"" at some degree, they made a new game but imported many things from poe 1 without a second thought if it would actually fit poe 2 We have league mechanics that don't fit poe 2 slower but intended gameplay: Delirium = Be fast or don't get rewarded Azmerian Wisps = Be fast or don't get rewarded Breach = Be fast or don't get rewarded Some ridiculous monster modifiers that were made to keep poe 1 players in track, on death and ground effects that takes forever to dissipate, outdated things like scroll of wisdom, light radius affix, prehistorical trade system, etc |

" Agreed. Made GGG cave in into making stupid PEO 2 changes when in fact they knew better. Then still cried how bad PEO 2 is and ditched for LE where gameplay wise the game is on autopilot. If i was GGG, i'd never take an interview from him again. " There's a fundamental issue with that though as seen with LE launch. Some people find it fun when there is 0 challenge in the gameplay where mobs ignore you and you have 0 fears of death. And some people find fun in difficulty. There's one thing good from that though, people now have a choice instead of asking POE 2 to be what it fundamentally wasn't supposed to be.

The trials.
The trials are just AWFUL. I don't even care about getting the next two trials done. The debuffs are way, way, way, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too strong. The honor bullshit is such a massive L. I was about to enter the final boss room on the third trial for my third set of points, and AFTER A LAG i got caught in one of those fireball stream traps. it took my honor from 99% to 0, and the whole trial failed. And you have to start all over. I'm so done with this shit. NOBODY likes trials. Nobody. |

I feel like people forget the basic rule of balance and EA. The game is not finished and they stated that heavy changes were gonna happen but people seem to have forgotten that. Secondly the first "league" was the test with everyone to see where everyone's progress and current stand is. It honestly makes a lot of sense to heavy nerf things in the next phase so they can better fine tune. It is a lot harder to balance down then it is to balance up. If things feel weak they can increase it, if things are far too strong you have to be careful with what you touch on it.
They did go heavy handed on the nerfs but i can almost guarantee you next "league" will be a full buff with some huntress nerf/tuning Do not get me wrong i am in no way defending but i am a logical person and i also do not take an emotional stand point on things like a lot of people (every streamer) does. If i am going to cry over a game i should not be playing games. Voicing frustrations is fine but people like Rue are cringe AF screaming at the top of his lungs. The game right now is fine, a little rough but fine. They have so much more room now to make upwards progress with this league. Hell you can even see the immediate effects of this patch versus last patch. We barely got anything last patch as it was the initial release. After this patch we got a heavy fudge ton that they felt better bringing into the game with how player power feels. My only strife as of current is just the delirium pinnacle and the fact that elemental resists feel like they actually do not work in endgame or they are bugged at a certain threshold of like 60% as it feels no different than 80% when at 60% |

" I at first hated the trials but after playing them for awhile i like them. There is some tuning to be done but i see common mistakes people still make like just walking around traps or running through traps in hopes to magically ignore damage. I almost never see anyone roll through traps that are not ground based traps like the mines. Once you actually start understanding how the traps work you no longer worry about such things. Chaos trials are a little different as there is no reward until you kill the boss of the floors. Chaos trials are the only trials needing a heavy rework as current corruption is pointless as a base item drop/reward |
