I'm so bored of this game already and it's only been 2 weeks.

It hit me today after waltzing around my oversized map that I am just completely bored of this game already.

There's no depth to it.

What made PoE fun for me was the endless amounts of things to nerd out over. The different numbers to crunch, The different ways I could create an item useful for my build. I LOVED sitting in my hideout spamming orbs on items for that one hit of AH YES!

What is the purpose of taking everything that made PoE great and trying to simplify it? It was PERFECT as it was.

What on earth was the purpose of trying to re-invent the wheel here?

I gave it a chance. I really did.

I keep saying that. They took everything good from poe1 and removed it.

The reintroduction of problems that PoE1 solved is baffling in many areas of this game.


It feels like the game is desperately trying to be ruthless while the players just abuse anything that let them play zoom blaster.


Then GGG randomly nerfs some zooming tech and not others. It is all over the place in terms of 'vision'.

The Vision for PoE 2

Take everything people like about PoE and remove it.


Playerbase is meaningless, lets survive on CC streamers.


If it is working, lets brake it.


If it is broken and unenjoyble, it is working as intended.


Git gud or get out.


That is the Vision!

In two weeks, half of people leave a league in PoE 1. I stay up for maybe three, if it catches my interest.

So I think it's not surprising to be done with an unfinished game in two weeks.

I have also stopped farming already. "character themes personally attractive" and "viable builds" hardly intersect at all. Ice spells are either very weak (frost nova, frostbolt, eye of winter) or very slow (frost bomb, comet, frost wall).

Endgame is once again "everything is on top of you in 1 sec", so "very slow" isn't cutting it after campaign. Freezelock helped, it got nerfed. Sorc trigger gems helped, it got nerfed. Minions not nerfed, can fall asleep while they faceroll everything :shrug:. GGG balance passes are arbitrary as usual. You know that if you sweat days seeking for stellar build, it will get nerfed. You're allowed to suffer and eat exp penalty from exploding corpses, that's fine.

Weapon-based classes need mirror-tier weapon first, and leveling them strongly depends on luck with getting leveling weapon, or you're going to suffer, that's fine.

I really LOVED where PoE 1 ended up regarding defenses. In PoE 2 it seems like we're back to stacking only your main defense and HP/ES pool, at least on the northwest side of the tree, which is... Not very "diverse".

Didn't expect a fully flesh game in EA, though.

You don't speak for everyone clearly. On Steam alone they've had at least double the most concurrent poe1 players ever every day since release. If you want to play poe1 go play poe1...it's still there for a reason.

Exactly still 428k playing on steam right now. The game is not going to die if you quit the game. Stop trying to blackmail the devs into changing the game most people do not want it to be changed.

Because we're all still playing early access? Most people are still playing through cruel difficulty or just starting maps.

Of course PoE1 numbers are down, we're like 7 months in to a league that has been extended to focus on this early access release.
