The Boss Fights in PoE2 Feel Exhausting
" Literally if they had just left the boss fights like they were in poe1, the difficulty wouldn't even be an issue. You could die a few times and slowly chip away at them. And for the people who like this soulslike slog, they could've just opened a boss arena in a new instance to start the fight over from the beginning. Would've been the best of both worlds and the game would've been fine. Instead I spent an entire afternoon stuck behind the act 1 boss because my gear was shit, and due to the worst rng luck I've ever had in any game, I've not been able to drop better. Feels bad to pay $30 and can't even get past act 1 of the campaign because of a combination of bad luck and making a game that catered to ruthless players |

Totally aggree!
I love the game, but I hate being stuck on a boss until I find some high lvl who is willing to help me. I also hate dying on a boss after a 6 minute fight (which feels like 15 minutes) and being forced to do it all over again, knowing that I will die again. The point that I don't get is: in the Endgame, if you hate Boss Fights, you are able to skip them. Why am I forced to do these tedious fights in the Campaign? I mean, storywise it's understandable, but please at least for the Campaign change the bosses so we can body throw them. In the Endgame they can hard be like in the Campaign. BTW: they told us that you need like 35 hours for the campaign. I reached the end of Act 3 (the first one, not cruel) after 50 hours. Sure, it may be skill issue, but before the loot drop increase I virtually had no stat boost from equipment and was unable to craft good gear since I got like one exalt per 5 hours...

I'm not a fan of the boss fights. They have slightly too much HP and too many mechanics are extremely damaging. They're beautiful and all and can remain a challenge. But there's toom uch random element in it, getting stuck vs other mobs in too cramped areas or forcing builds, that are more squishy by nature right next to a boss (like the poison djinn in act 2) etc ... it becomes unfun. There's not much time to enjoy the mechanics if all you do is smashing the spacebar or hoping you don't get stuck somewhere in the fog phase in Act 1 endboss fights etc.
Everybody will se this differently, but I think they need to tone it down a bit .. not everything has to cater to souls masochism. |

The problem is that boss fight difficulty curve is very punishing the longer you take to beat it. This is partially common sense yes, but in this game its taken to a different level.
Act 2 boss might feel like a poe pinnacle boss if your dps is low and you lack some form of sustain beyond pots. On the other hand builds that come online early have zero issues with it. Its a problem and i don't know how they gonna solve it |

The answer is ..... you don't get 6 portals to chip a boss away while ignoring mechanics.... So lean mechanics or play a different game ..... the game is hard waa waaa . meanwhile I seen a guy on reddit post his 6 year old getting in to act 3..... there is no good gear waa waaa ... reddit shows us some amazing gear people have found and crafted.... again this game may not be for you... I know... I know.... you want to play while you Benge watch my little pony adventures.. and mindlessly grind threw white mobs just to realize you've killed 3 act bosses already..... who where they again??? Not Balbala that's for sure lol
new game that's more your difficulty level might be spacebar-clicker |

For me its the opposite. I love the new Boss Fights. Way better than the annoying PoE1 fights. Here you see what the Boss is doing. And no PoE1 isnt abandoned. You can still go back and play it.

After having fought a boss for 10 minutes, multiple deaths, strategizing... I get an orange gear drop... for not my class.
Not a single item the boss dropped was usable by me. I mean, come on. Just beat another boss. Another Orange item, once again for a different class. No boss yet has dropped loot for my sorc. Not a single one. Last edited by Chnmmr#1109 on Dec 11, 2024, 6:44:21 AM

It’s the best game ever made.
If it’s too difficult for you, play poe1. I’m not trying to be rude but if they drop the difficulty to Diablo 4 levels, I’m out and so are thousands of others. |

The core game is there for sure. We need some time for ggg to cook and retune where necessary. Have to keep in mind it's in beta right now.
