the vision failed?
|
I realy hope ggg will survive this desaster of a game.
I love poe1 and i realy forced me to like poe2 too. After around 700h i am affraid this game wont become a success anymore. As long this path is followed i don see anything good for poe2. Ots now 5 months in EA and the path they are following gets worse every patch. It feels like the vision failed and there is no plan B so they try to find solutions to make this game work. There is no balance, no flow, no reward, no thrill, an no motivation circle to keep the people playing. I remember an interview where honathan said a release in 2025 is still possible. How the hell should this work? You cant even get your first classes balanced or the campaign well paced. Every month i loose more hope in this gsme and even jonathan and mark must admit: THE VISION HAS FAILED. Revamp the thing, cook it for 2-3 years and retry. Last bumped on May 15, 2025, 7:21:16 PM

What was made worse in last night's patch?

" Nothing. Nothing he mentioned has anything to do with last nights patch whatsoever. It's about design decisions, the way the developers think, and the kind of game they are trying to create. The way they game feels so... I've been calling it "hollow". This game just fells hollow. It feels to me, like an arcade version of an ARPG. It's too simple, missing too many key features, it's turned too many features of the basic game into RNG fiestas (like struggling to find level 82 maps with 2+ towers, AND a map we like... rather than just putting in the fucking map we want to do at the max level...) It's all a ploy to string us along. For god sake's they found a way to monetize leveling our goddamn skill gems. Every single aspect of this game had 1 cornerstone philosophy: "Make it take LONGER". That was their goal with every single aspect of POE 2. Make. It. Take. Longer. Make them play longer. make them achieve less. make them achieve slower. make mapping pure RNG so they can't even run high level maps without luck... etc etc. |

You have played the game accumulatively for an entire month. What kept you around if you hated it this much?

" Yeah I talked about this in one of my feedback posts. It's just a gatcha game disguised as an ARPG and third party companies are taking advantage of the gatcha frustrations.

" Me? I haven't. I just check in to give feedback and hope/pray they turn things around completely. I hated 0.2 campaign so badly I just quit. It was sort of my fault, to be fair. I assumed the necro was still playable, and i'm a d2tard, necro is my shit. I usually league start a necro just for fun, nostalgia. Well this time it was so painfully slow... so painfully horribly slow... That I had to reroll around act 4.... Act 4. After struggling to enjoy myself at all. So then I rolled a LS meta and got back to act 4 and just... couldn't be bothered to care any more for 0.2 I quit before 0.2b I believe. But considering I've played for 7 years, and HOPE to keep playing, I have a vested interest in what they're doing. So I haven't been playing. Game is too bad to play. Praying for 0.3 to not be horrific. Hoping Towers are removed entirely. |
