Finally uninstalled PoE2... the wave of relief is crazy!

It rather seems like you are some relative of a certain guy in charge of a certain company, which cannot get over the fact how good POE 2 actually is.

PoE2 will never be mainstream either. It fills another unique niche in the market that only it can fill. And it is distinctly different from PoE1. GGG presents once again an experience only PoE2 can offer. Thus creating a second pillar to stand on.

What niche does it fill? Seems very similar to vanilla d3. I guess that counts in a very technical way.

The boss ideas are cool at first, until you realize you're stuck in the boss fight for 10-20 minutes unless you chose one of the better classes.

I agree with this for the first 3 Acts then Cruel feels good. Acts 1-3 are overtuned for some of the classes at this early stage of the game. I trust GGG will fix this by balancing classes and bosses.

Hahahahaha... a game that hit 280k CONCURRENT PLAYERS 11 years after it's release is "not a mainstream game"...


Sure... sure... and PoE2 hype is what's "mainstream"? Because in 10 years it will have 150 players...

Are you daft? I literally said that PoE2 won't be mainstream either.

Mainstream gamers play (or at least used to play) the new Ubisoft game. They play Bethesda in-house games. They play CoD. They play FIFA. They play D4. They see "Ooh, Blizzard, I know Blizzard, they will always be Blizzard to me, I buy Blizzard" grab it, play it 2h each week and are content. You'll find people that have played the Diablo franchise for years and never even heard of PoE. Because they are not deep into this shit.

They don't play the convoluted mess of mechanics that requires five third party tools and three third party websites to even begin to understand. PoE1 is an enthusiast game. The difference between a guy buying a pre-assembled model car and putting it into his vitrine and a guy that builds one from scratch over the course of weeks, having his fingers covered in band-aids from scalpel slips.

Same, a few days ago I had the realization that this game hates you and the fun part is very short lived.

Can't imagine relying on this level of acknowledgment from people you don't know. Good luck in whatever other games you eventually complain about.

There is two points where i agree .

the game optimization is horrible (HORRIBLE) , i have decant pc , i play all the modern games , no problem , the moment i start this , my pc shifts into gear 5.

i am strongly considering dropping the game for the sole reason not to damage my pc.

second one is lore , yeah its kinda weak , but its better then poe 1 at least.

This thread didn’t age very well.

If you feel stress and anxiety from playing a game, you should stop playing (unless you like that). Take care of your own mental health.

That doesn’t mean the game is terrible for everyone else, as seen by the crazy number of people still playing every day. It’s really sad that some people who loved poe1 are not enjoying poe2, but take a step back and try it again once they do some tuning. I’m not saying that feedback and changes aren’t needed, but it’s clear that some people are too emotionally invested.

You don’t need to ruin your life trying a game in EA, just chill and see how it evolves. People are taking this game way too seriously. I’ve been there before, I had 15,000 hours in WoW before I quit and it helped a lot. Sometimes you just need to move on and try something else.

Hope you all have/had a good holiday and find something else to enjoy in the meantime!

Same! done with the play test. Looking forward to release!

I moved on to BG3 ... what a game!
