This is what "The Vision" looks like in Act 3 if you aren't playing screen clearing skills.

Campaign is trivialized already, pick whatever kill all, like wtf

How many of these threads are you going to make? You don't like the game, just leave 🤷‍♂️

@GGG How are these copy/paste, repetitive threads ok and these members are not on probation? How is this constructive or healthy exactly? Because if you don't want us to be "combative" against each other then these threads are not helping.

I paid plenty of money to support this game. I will be making these threads with different content no matter whether you approve or not. You do not get to play arbiter and I have not broken any forum rules. I find it revealing how you are trying to SILENCE other people with different views. I find that VERY revealing.

Oh and thanks for bumping the thread.

It's not silencing. I just strictly disagree with everything you're saying and I also think you're just spamming the forums at this point. I saw the video you shared and to me that looks great. Idk what else you expect really. GGG can't cater to everyone. If you just want to blast then this is not the game for you. What's so hard to understand? Just accept this game is not for you and move on.

there's gotta be a balance.

I would have 0 problem with a fight like this (in terms of pacing, difficulty) as a boss fight

But frankly, it's too exhausting if every fight is like this, I wouldn't play.

I find it sad that there were builds in .1 that were great fun but was savagely axed in DOTH. There needs to be a better reasonable balance for a majority of the skills. People do not want to approach an ARPG game on a narrow build path like all the other lemmings. If buffing certain skills that were mediocre which results in over buffing certain meta builds, then i'm all for it. They need to bring up some of the lesser used skills so that more players will have a better broad use of them skills.

Just to be clear, the GOAL was to nerf those builds. The devs want us playinn like this. Its going to get super insane with cruel. Stay tuned.

I had a fully different campaign experience personally. I also went mostly trade free (bought 1 chest item during early endgame and use the currency exchange) but played in a group and we shared some drops. I had some large stretches of bad luck but mostly found and crafted all my own gear. I find the gearing journey satisfying.

I did my own build crafting didn't use a guide or anything like that and played a bleed Amazon using Herald of blood and stacking attack speed killing mostly with spear throw and some whirling slash for crowd control. Found the bushwhack boots, made a build out of them and I'm currently cruising through tier 15 maps. No lightning spear required.

Sometimes you just gotta get creative with what you find. If the skills you use are not working well its probably because you have not found the unique you need or you need to adjust your skills and supports. Ive made small tweaks that have doubled my clear speeds during the campaign.

The game can be frustrating but the challenge is what makes it so fun to overcome. If it were easy like D4, my interest would have faded long ago.

The new loot drops feel very good and gearing without trading is not only possible its preferred. (in my opinion)

Maybe I just got lucky but I'm having fun. Its definitely not meta or nothing.

Just my 2 cents.

You think that will be fun, completing a 60 hour campaign 1 time a league per character every three months? Well you are in the minority. A very small minority that will see the game fail.

You traded. You played in a group. Most customers font do that. Id bet money, also, you are using lightning spear. Its one of a very FEW skills "that work". The problem is, GGG doesn't like the way lightning spear works. They will nerf it very hard. Look at the spark players from last time and ask them about that.

Fun is subjective. I do think this is fun. I love this game.

You are in the loud minority that wants PoE1.5 but this is PoE 2. As you said yourself, this is what GGG cooked for us in PoE 2. This is the game. They said time and time again PoE 2 is not for everyone. It can't be for everyone because if it's for everyone then it's for no-one. What is so hard to understand here? This is PoE 2. Can't expect GGG to cater to everyone, do you?
