0.2.0b Hotfix
|
so since drop of 2.o I have to say I have a few issues, some more glaring than others. I won't get into them all, I will just touch on some big ones for me, and again this is opinion but obviously im not the only one with issues. The game launched with over 1 million people onboard steam alone, 2.0 dropped with 240k, GGG that's screaming PROBLEM.
As a none try hard or streamer here's my take... First problem is loot, the drops are sooo few. You only get drops from rare mobs from what ive seen and with out the drops you can't beat the rare mobs... see the problem? Gold drops in low end or horrible, how am I suppose to gear if I can't buy gear and gear only drops from rares? this problem does clean its self up late game... little. Next, This one life crap is a little rough for us average players. I hate spending all this time fighting a boss cause my damage is super low cause I don't want to run a meta you streamer build, then dying to an add they summon on death, or an effect that kills me before I can loot because im console and you, ggg can't seem to figure HOW TO LET ME LOOT WHILE THERE ARE ADDS on the screen and I lose it all. Either let my loot persist through death, or fix the looting on console FFS. next is the power creep... There is none for the average player on most builds. you slog through, You either can't get the gear to get the power or you can't get the gear to survive. It's rough out here in the campaign. Again this is from an average player. I lost my hole group that I play with because we can't loot with adds on the screen, we feel weak in everything, and group play is horrendous... Lag because off skills and cosmetics, absurd boss health and all the other issues we have grouped. The last High issue for me is a personal one, I love the streamer community, I watch them every day and im 90% sure so do the devs and that's the problem, just because 1% of the community is able to purchase or have given to them uber perfect gear does not mean your normal player base will ever achieve what a streamer is able to. Stop punishing the players cause a stream discovered some uber powerful build. Even if you consider it a bug, how many of your actual player base will EVER be able to achieve the level of power that will effect how I play my game? ZERO. Who cares, There are no leader boards, No prizes for being a god, Nothing that effects my real life, so please, please, please allow me to have my fun in game. Balance builds sure, but also balance your own adds and bosses. Before all the reader start posting hate to my comments, please remember this is my opinion and my friends groups opinion. if it isn't yours, that's ok and I respect that... please do the same for mine. For GGG, if you are aiming for a player base of hardcore players, cool, just tell the rest of us to F off and we will. If you all are good with 250k steam vs the 1m you had on launch, rock on you got our money already but think of all the cosmetics you could sell if you listened to the 750k players(steam base only much more if you include the other platforms). that's hugs revenue loss....

Just to somewhat balance all the negativity here.
I'm playing with my friend, me with Fire Whirlwind/Twister Smith of Kitava build I make up on the fly, he plays as Frost Bolt/Whirlwind/Twister Amazon. First Act was ok, a lot of getting used to new skills, movement, parrying and comboing. Challenge crept until second half of Act 2 when we properly geared up and figured out what we're doing, blasted through the rest of normal difficulty while having a lot of fun. As a side char I'm doing simple Chaos DoT + Bonestorm witch, currently on late Act 2, which had absolutely no problems since getting Bonestorm, DoT deletes everything except rares/uniques, Bonestorm takes care of the rest. I'm yet to see what cruel acts have in store for us, but I liked the occasional challenge underpowered state presents and the feeling you get when you overcome. I was not much of a fan of .1 endgame loop, and this is the first ARPG I even got to the endgame. I don't like the idea of build guides and meta playing for myself, so I never got to the pinnacle content in .1, never got to see any of the Temporalises, Astralmentises and Ingenuities everyone was so crazy about. I'm still excited too see that new endgame content though. Unique strongboxes are awesome and so far very rewarding, we've had 3 of those so far. Wisps are cool as concept, but I feel like lacking some payoff of dedicated currency or something? Overall I had a lot of fun in the game in .1, came back to .2 and having fun again, nothing changed too much to me in terms of difficulty, and new content is very appreciated. As a personal thing I would prefer like 1-1.5 months leagues while in EA for faster iterations and rebalancing. Also probably one of the main things I didn't like about endgame is just that my PC struggles with Breach/Ritual/Derilium content, so not only I could not do them with my suboptimal builds but also 5FPS did not help. I hope GGG team will find a way to put some resources into optimizations soon! Also sorceress needs early burning ground spell so I could slam it into my Fire Spell on Melee Hit. Thanks!

When is the patch that adds the fun back into the game? This is boring and tedious. I love a challenge, but you are definitely not FromSoft.

This was probably the only fun thing that Huntress had. They really don't want people to have fun at all.

SRS is pretty awful and this patch really made the game a disaster for minion players. Also rare mob minon HP is stupid high still. They almost always outlive the rare mob; It's silly as hell.

All the complains are for no reason ,, do you guys remember at ExileCon when they show fight with boss and said it will be more soulslike gameplay ,, why you complain ,, the patch 0.1.0 was with full of bugs and alot of broken builds ,
Now the game is healthy ,, this game never was to ZOOM is tactic combos And guess what alot of people complain about Huntress ,, i play Lazy Build and i'm in Act 3 normal .. is easy game if you use brain My and my friends with jobs , we almost in Cruel ,, The problem with gamers in 2025 they are too many snowflakes , do you think Fromsoft cares when people complain on Sekiro?? no I hope GGG nerfs more ,, because this is not D4 or Last Epooch ,, ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM this is soulslike combat ,, thats items are harder to get ,, but is satisfing to play it .. i have 1k in this game And i hated so much POE1 with my entire life POE2 RULZ |

I definetly do not know where the vision is taking us anymore.
Like truly, thought by slowing down the game you guys would want a bigger audience, it seems you want to narrow even less players than PoE 1 originally had. Dissapointment to say the less. |
