I quit the game after 1 week...

Let me preface this by saying that I <3 poe 2 and the obligatory "D4 bad". I never got bored so quickly by a league and it pains me to say that im really disapponted by this one. I try to keep it concise BC nobody reads essays.

The good:
- I love the druid, it's braindead, easy, has crazy clear, is somewhat fast, and I cant believe ggg is putting this in the game. In all seriousness, the wyvern is really strong and the creativity on this is the benchmark in the industry.
- The vaal temple I give credit for being fresh and different from the other league mechanics.

The neutral:
- I like that stuff is not being squeezed out undercooked and it's better to push out the endgame than have it "half a$$es" (quote Mark). On the other hand, this puts all the more focus and the class and the vaal temple and those fell off super hard for me.

The bad:
- Eventually, and this is super subjective, I got bored too quickly by the druid. I played ice strike monk the first season, so no interesting in ice strike wolf. I played slam warrior last season so no interest in slam bear. The wyvern looked cool and is cool and I was excited to pair it with spells, but I couldnt get it to work. I went Inevitable Crits + Voll's armour with choir of the storm amulet. I wanted to do totems and triggers and stuff. But the hybrid gameplay is so tedious with getting power charges and the synergies were not ramping for me. Try comboing for an hour while being swarmed by abyss mobs. I ended up 100% oil barraging which totally gets the job done albeit very sluggishly.
- The vaal temple design is a fail for me. And it really doesnt serve the game that the sh!t's not being explained property. I dont even care about the Lack of rewards after the poverty poe 1 season. I did the architect a couple of times, it's a 1 time chance - which I dispise btw - ok, some Progression, then there is this Atziri Key room, ok build a path to it, and then? I cannot do anything if the Key room is not connected to Atziri? I thought this would give me a key and I can try Atziri but nothing happened when I clicked on the thing if. And then every time I get 2 pieces of paths that dont connect, I cant rotate, I cant reroll? And on top of that I have to go through maps over and over again just so I can play with the new toy? Nah, I'm good, thanks for the 1 week of fun tho.

The worst:
- PS5 performance is horrible, sound crashes, game crashes, server lags, gameplay bugs, ui bugs, couch coop is practically untested. I get that it's "early access" I paid for the key and an extra supporter pack and I enjoyed my 700h+ with this, but Im not spending more money on this mess until this is getting some serious improvements.


Do with this post what you will. I still <3 poe 2. But I moved on for now.
