I've stopped playing poe-2, it bores me. When they release new content I'll play it a bit just to see it, but I find it a boring game and much worse than poe-1. I wanted an improved poe-1, not this one.

Your vote counts when you decide not to play it. It's the only way they can see the discontent.

I watched the Interview. I hate the 1 portal.

But that's not what they said.

Mark said more than Jonathon on the topic. And he acknowledged there is an issue. They both said that they DO NOT want to go back on the 1 portal rule. However, Mark clearly acknowledged, and I am paraphrasing here, that he sees an issue with how punishing the end game is. How could he not? He admitted it needs balance - some sort of change.

It is far too punishing. Maybe not for meta builds. But for more casual players, ssf players, and many builds, it is simply not fun.

It's simple, and it's a bout dopamine. The LOWS are too LOW, and the HIGHS are not HIGH enough. I'm not in homeostasis, I'm in a dopamine defecit when I play this game. I quit. It's not fun for me. So they need to figure some shit out. But my interpretation of what Jonathon and Mark said, is actually that they have not completely closed the door on going back on the 1 portal rule. Most people either hate it, or don't care, very few that I know actually like it. Personally, I fail to see what it adds to the game and I think that it just takes the fun away. IT actually sucks, so bad, i hate it, but, IDK. Maybe the game isn't for me. IDK. I don't like games that make me mad, I don't play them for long.

A number of my friends stopped playing when I told them that the end game is as follows: map, map, map, die, map, die, map, map, die, map...and no progress the deaths take progress away from you.
