The 1 portal per map thing is the weirdest thing they've done with this game. I have no clue why they didn't just copy+paste the already working,good endgame systems of PoE 1 then just polish them up and make up some new mechanics,lore and there you go.

Its probably gonna take a few more patches for it to actually be playable and fun. The devs need to realize that not everyone wants to be forced to play pseudo-hardcore. Their main playerbase, like 90%+ of people play in Softcore.


And yeah exp loss is just pointless, all it does is waste people's time, take away experience they earned, and make them want to quit and uninstall. Its such an outdated mechanic, like the game does not need to punish you extra for dying. Dying already feels bad, respawning at a checkpoint already wastes a bit of time and if the map system was actually good then you'd only lose 1 of 6 portals. No further death penalties are needed.


Its the same game .

50x slower...

You don't find things
You don't level.
Your don't craft.

Slow motion gaming.... all it is .
cause doing it reallly slowly makes it meaningful right.

Cause slowing combat down so everyone is faster than you is THE WAY.
Making everything take longer just lets you savor the game.
I think they should reduce walking speed 200% so we can feel the decision and gravitas of each step.

Sweaty, the game is unrewarding and sweaty.
What skill are you talking abut ?
The shopping skills ?
This game is buy a win. HARDCORE SHOPPING!!

yeah good post..i feel you and you are correct on a lot of points...poe2 will probably end up being one of the best ARPGs when its all finished but i do believe GGG is intentionally nerfing everything to force us all into just a few builds to collect their data....i can guarantee you everything thats good now will be nerfed to death next season. If they dont stop doing this after release the game will fail EXTREMELY fast...we dont want a dark souls ARPG if we wanted dark souls we would play dark souls why play a cheap copy of a great and better original...

That's the problem with this game - it attracts very different types of players. Me and my friends definitely want dark souls arpg. We don't like zooming thru content. GGG should stop cater to anyone but themselves and create game which they want to play.

Speak for yourself, don't use "we" when you're giving your own opinion. I don't like poe1 and like that poe2 at least tries to not be the same as every other arpg for dopamine addiction in the market

diablo 4 and last epoch are the ones for gamers like you that dont want any sort of chalenges in their game , you should go and try them, poe1 and 2 are not for everyone .


At this point it seems those are way more challenging games than poe2 is.


Honestly PoE could learn from LE's crafting system and qol. Man the crafting is actually fun and deterministic, there's a way for normal players to use basically a mirror of kalandra equivalent for a practical crafting reason, AND its got a fun system where you can add any one mod you want guaranteed to any unique. That opens up so much depth when it comes to builds. Also even normal Aberroth in Last Epoch was a challenging,fun bossfight. Way better than most PoE bosses which have 0 visual clarity and oneshot mechanics lmao

Last Epoch is a game actually made for its community, and the devs know what their players want. Like I was blown away by just how good it is when I tried it, its like night and day especially when compared to the slogfest that is PoE 2. You got fun builds, you got a nice,linear campaign that you can skip like 70% of later with some help from other players, you got a nice crafting system and lots of fun OP builds.


I'm just bored waiting for 3.27, but Last Epoch is definitely a fun in-between ARPG when your main games are in a content dry season.


Agreed, have switched to last epoch since 0.31 xD and man am I discovering how amazing the crafting system is, Still looking for +level to warpath shards grrr, and being able to TARGET FARM SPECIFIC ITEMS... like unlock a spot on "atlas" tree and it allows you to slot in say a piece of jewlery or armour/weapon piece and gives a chance of receiving that item/similars as extra rewards when killing enemies, completing maps etc
Its Funny to see people treating this game as a finished game. GGG is testing stuff on us. Its not their goal to deliver the "best option" to us right now. Is it that hard to see that they are testing things? And that is what i expect from an early access. Let them try everything out, so we can have a good game. Because once its released, they cant make big changes from on day to another.
Blah, blah, blah. Children's games do this, whatever.

Screw other ARPGs. I don't care about crafting. I don't care about trade. I fight monsters. I fight bosses. If I can't, I get good. PoE 2 already excels at this. If they stay the course this is the game that will define the genre.

No the problem is you thinking an isometric game can be dark souls .

You know this is a character builder.
Know how in dark souls you can pick up a rusty dagger and then go beat the final boss. It will take a bit, but your skills of memorization , your reflex timing , and pattern recognition will save the day.

See how in dark souls you never really get stronger , and the enemies all do roughly the same damage , I mean a hit from a dragon , and a swipe from a XYZ mob do roughly the same damage .... all the armour all the stats , usually get you one more hit before you die, in awesome gear 2 more hits. Cause dark souls anit about the gear,,, Its Fashion Souls wear whatever you want to look good... Best player in the world play's naked with a pot on his head.

Dopamime has to come from somewhere. Not going to come from slow game play without some other facet to supply it. PoE 2 is not it yet. Not enough engagemnt from the environment, not enough loot, choppy progression, repetitive tiles, lots of terrible maps, same boring poorly designed evade mechanics. I predict mid 2027 before it is ready for 1.0.
Imma change my handle to removed by support. ;) Love you guys. You're damning yourselves by not letting us call people out though. Too much corporate.
