Apart from the graphics, POE2 is the same shit as POE1.

Sadly the truth so far, as much as some paid accounts wish to blow smoke up our butts otherwise.

"we wont be making balance changes until the major patch." why balance any classes at all aside from bug abuse? You have 6 more classes, 1 more ascendency for existing classes, like 5 more weapons, and 50+ skills to release. what good does balancing anything do until you release more content. Its just all gonna be a mess anyway. Release the content, fix the bugs, change the mapping, increase currency drop rates, QOL, Release the content, fix the bugs, change the mapping, increase currency drop rates, QOL, Release the content, fix the bugs, change the mapping, increase currency drop rates, QOL....

THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON UNTIL THE CLASSES/ITEMS/ASCEDENCIES ARE RELEASED.

The amount of theory crafting and builds you can currently do are about as dry and soulless as the end game.

Add more change less. After most content is out, change more add less.

See you all in 4 months when they finally drop the first new class and weapon.

Endgame need more content.

Brıng old expeditions. Tujen still says " Shiny coins, arent they."

Maybe heist , i miss that. Also Harvest ...

Will try again if/when it gets a update this year hopefully before July :P

Guys its over. No news nothing...

I would like to see an Auto-sort feature for bag and stash. I also think it's pretty egregious that buying stash tabs isn't for a whole account if you're doing cross-progression, more so that having 'remove only' tabs show up and then purchasing new tabs on the new system just removes the 'remove only' title from the tabs instead of giving you new tabs. Same with cosmetics.

Beyond that, it's a great start!

not sure if anyone reads this but i started last weekend and have enjoyed my time except the walls for early players:

a. lack of sockets on gear to put runes into

b. constantly spending all your gold on skill tree leaves you broke to buy gear

c. you stock pile runes, gems etc because they have no use. you wont find enough gear to put them on to have fun with.

d. some stuff is still too rare to be fun like adding sockets to armor/weapons items, ability to craft rares etc

e. many skills seem useless for warrior due to top skills being better but even if fixed they all kind of feel samey.

go get +3-4 melee skills on trade site and do 10x damage than with any gear you could find on your own in game.

make finding stuff fun.

why did you increase the spirit cost of arsonist? lower all spirit cost minions suck.

As I understand it, the developers went to do an event in Poe1 and temporarily abandoned Poe2? And will it always seem like this? Jump from one project to another and in the end the game will die completely before even being released..?

The game still keeps on crashing for many...

You are claiming that the hard crash issue only affects Windows 11 24H2 even on this post despite having two threads with combined post count of more than ten thousand posts telling you otherwise.

There is also the fact that Microsoft have not backed GGG's claim of working with Microsoft to find a better long term solution. They had made an announcement for the case with the Ubisoft, but not with the GGG... So GGG's claim that they are working with Microsoft is suspicious.

Microsoft is currently NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A WINDOWS ISSUE be it Windows 11 24H2 or Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11 23H2. There is no confirmation from Windows about this issue. Normal procedure from Windows in such cases is to publicly acknowledge the problem as they have done with Ubisoft's 24H2 issues.

So once again I'm bumping with these questions, in hopes that maybe they will get answered by GGG's official staff:

1) What went wrong?

2) What you are doing to fix it?

3) What possible causes have you eliminated as the source of the problem?

4) What triggers have you discovered that starts the resource hog loop other than "zone change"? (This one is really important because it allows players to create workarounds)

5) What is your estimated time of fix?

6) How did this sort of bug managed to avoid detection in your testing period?

7) What you will be doing to compensate players that have been affected by this issue?

8) Whether refunds would be made available for those that are no longer interested in playing the game?

9) Why there is no confirmation from Microsoft about GGG's claim that they are working together on the hard crash(system freeze) issue?

To other paying customers like me who have spent their money on this faulty product:

As long as GGG is not interested in open communication our only other option is to increase the pressure and warn others by giving a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner.
