state of game. my thoughts.

I quit playing poe2 after a month. The game is not what was promised.


GGG said there may be potential one-shots from mobs - but the one who get one-shotted is the bosses. There is no challenges in the game. And again you can just buy boss carry.

3 build to have fun in the game, and maybe 10 for newbies. no variety whatsoever.

uniques are USELESS. recent buff of uniques - USELESS.

they promised mtx from poe1 (no), rich endgame (no), "late january announce of the next po1 league" (no)

juicing maps requires you to complete maps that you dont want to play, getting to towers, playing not good layouts maps, no actual mod rolling system for tablets and so on.

no crafting. wanna craft - you cant. find your items or try to slam exalts. unlucky? huh, throw your item away. oh wait, there is omens? interesting price for them. why? because well-known discord server will just buy all omens for mirror-tier items to be infinite rich. its just a great game design to have 1 currency for a good end-game and mirror-tier item. (apart from poe1 where you actually just bench-roll for a really good item).

dupes and A LOT of bugs.dupes lasts for weeks. im sure some of them not fixed yet, and more to found. I'm a programmer, and i can say if 1 person from test team would have played atleast ONCE from a1-last boss they could easily remove like 20% of the bugs and 50% of the nerfs that we encountered first weeks.
for me it looks like GGG said "play whatever we have we dont care". and its the same for latest poe1 leagues sadly. it feels like no testing was done at all.

some tier 5 couldnt generate a specific mod because the highest one is t4. i dont know. im stunned with this. when you do that t5 item mean you cant get t1-4 mods, thinking about "what if t4 is highest" is the first thing. and im saying it because in day 2 i just got this thought on the top of my mind, just a litle thought "hmm what if t4 is the highest?". whatever. no testing was done.

why is there no ascendancy change? feels like to make people more test-play compaign or whatever i dont know.

1/4 boss maps - no. there was a misculculation because maps had 1/4 chance to spawn a boss BUT some maps cant have a boss. then they fixed it and called a BUFF. okay.

SFF wasnt be able to migrate to trade for month. its just xdd.



And when league from league i see "sorry we are delaying league for 1 week, 2 week to test/adjust things/get everything together" im like "okay, its my fav game, its very cool, every league is a banger, its not a problem whatsoever". but now i dont know. GGG lost my trust and poe2 making my feelins more and more negative. because what i see doesnt match what they say. doesnt feel like they are inspired or actually trying to make a great game. i just done feel it.

and im not a hater, i like poe1, kinda like poe2. but goind over and over 200 maps with breaches per day killing me. no variety. farm breach or farm simulacrum. thats literally it. and yes we have ritauls. but oh god its just another in map activity but less fun then breach. yes, I'm getting fun when i kill 1 trillion mobs in a map. and yes, sometimes i want to other things not linked with maps. maybe i wanna get death aura char and go expedition, or build some towers in blight, farm some bosses (maven skip still in the game, thank you, i think it was not intedned but please dont change it because i dont wanna spend 5 minutes or whatever long killing uber elder or other long boss, i just want skip maven or one-shot eater exarch), go run some heists, farm low-tier essences, catch some beasts, sail a ship OR JUST ANYTHING APART FROM BREACH GRIND BUT I CANT do it here. im just trapped in endless breach prison.


and my thought that you have this really HUGE online after almost 2 months is not because the game is "my god how its good!" but because a lot of peoples who know about poe1 think "its just to late, its so hard to get into it" and like that. and poe2 for them "oh, poe2 is getting into EA, and GGG SAYING its for unexperienced players too, i will play it". but what they really get? campaign is 1 trillion hours long, and its 3 acts. and then repeat 3 acts once again. and for my opinion its even harder to get into poe2 than to poe1.

and reminder: GGG said that EA will be finished game, and the main reason its called EA league because ggg wants to test how the game feels, adjust some things and so on, make some with balance and content patches.




but what i see - is just reskinned poe1. every thing was just taken from it.

poe2 just the cut. ver. of poe1. just like people make cut versions of the song taking some best parts. but poe2 is even not the best parts from poe1.

i wanted to tell all that ive got in my heart few days ago, but i was waiting for 25t because just maybe there will be announce of poe1 league, or atleast announce of the announcment of the announce. or literally any news. its like meme from dota community when they announce patch in june and it means last second of june.

but i've got nothing.

well, GGG, january almost ended. the more i think, the more im sure - my patience, hopes and good attitude to GGG will be lost forever if this promise would not be kept.

i am very disappointed.

and o please, do something with boss carries. why the hell it's still the game. just make a boss-killer and service bosses and get literally infinite money because you dont even need to invest into anything. and prices for bosses are just xdd. you literally rolling for good boss drop for free because you provide boss carry service and it pays for a boss fragments cost. i have just no words. it is affecting economy very hard.

oh, and do something with in-game trade chat. open it and you'll see what i mean. it's just infinite bots who buying 1 div for 20 ex and reselling for 200. and its for ALL currency.
(i honestly dont have anything against trade bots, because in poe1 if you kinda newbie, you need to buy 1 chrom - you wont buy it ever because nobody cares about your 1 chrom trade. nobody but trade bots. and whatever item/currency.)
but these reselling scammers are over me.

Ill sum it up.

State of the game - Boring end game.

Once uve leveled a couple of characters to maps theres no joy and point in playing.

It feels like a boring chore.

There you go.
