Why did you stop playing the game?

"

To begin with my reasons:
1. The total punishment system
2. The trading system
3. The inevitable one -hitting death (After 1144 hours of playing time)


My main reason is that I get bored in the end-game.

After I finish my build around 93-94, and get all gear, I do not need trade anymore. Thou before that it is terrible experience.

I do not care about oneshots, exp penalty, etc... because I am not playing HC, and I do not even focus on getting to 100.

But I get bored as hell. And I have no place to unwind, like a week into delve, or week heist, or switching to casual lab farming etc...

It is the same tablets, same mechanics, running trash tier map layouts.
Endlessly.

I get bored. So freaking bored...

100% true. Minions totally got nerfed into the ground in .2. Not even sure why they were nerfed so heavily bc they weren't OP in .1.


Yes. And we had warned GGG about this nerf. Before the launch.

After this fail, GGG tried to fix it by:
1. Nerfed the strength of the monsters during the campaign.
2. Boosting damage and hp into end-game twice.
3. Adding specters.
4. Adding scepter specific socketables.

To be honest, all of this was kind of disappointing.

Not to mention that even before patch 0.2.0, heavy nerfs regarding spirit cost were introduced, especially towards arsonists.

I had the unfortunate fate of playing them before the fixes, and gave up on them eventually.

Btw, the merc variant with the added flat damage socketables, after the fixes was very fun to play.

But very squishy.
1) The game does not show respect to my time.
2) Lack of build diversity. Only meta builds works (LS Amazon for example)
3) Pointless nerfs (e.g minion builds)
4) Forgotten classes/skill gems... Demon Form for example. Yes, maybe there aren't Demon Form players as many as Amazon LS players. But this shouldn't lead to Demon Form can be completely forgettable.
5) Some ridiculous one-shot mechanics... I really tired of getting one shotted by a skill that I never saw.
6) MTX transfers. I really want to play with my skins.

Project Diablo 2 mod is just more fun.

It fails to deliver in every aspect of the previous title.
outside of graphical improvements.

Its a lesser game.

If you took the rule set from PoE2
and swapped it with PoE1, graphic engine upgrade for PoE1 essentially

You would think PoE1 was the evolution of PoE2.
Nobody would believe what was done was intentional in that light.

I can imagine the game they want.
They cant make it.

PoE2 plays like a bunch of accountants quit their jobs and took up programming.
because literally any other game allows 32:9.

LEAGUE OF FUCKING LEGENDS allows 32:9 for gods sake. You telling me this game is more competitive than league of legends? fuck outta here.
I quit because the early access is in a terrible state they still haven't even released weapons and it took them 5 million years to release 1 new act. From the day early access started this whole thing has just been big snoozefest.

Nothing you posted has SRS minions being buffed offensively in the early acts, only later.

Do you actually play POE2 or just mimic what your favorite steamers say?


At least now, it's crystal clear, for whoever reads this forum that the only purpose for your posts are sheer trolling. This toxic behavior seems to be the standard on this forum and apparently the support seems fine with it.

Enjoy the endgame of this game, which seems to be a toxic person on the forums.

I'm a toxic troll because I posted my experience from playing the game in 0.2?

I played the game in 0.2, my build (SRS minions) invalidated all difficulty, so I rerolled to something else to make it so that enemies could actually interact with me.

For some reason minion players think this is just too weak? I don't get it, I really don't. Other builds I tried were nowhere near this strong early game, yet minions are cited as "unplayable"?

Non-DOT Casters, for example, were so awful that the game felt nearly unplayable in the early levels. How is minions unplayable when they literally kill the best designed boss in < 30 seconds effortlessly? (Act 1 final boss) I struggled on this boss with my first character first time playing, took 10+ attempts to beat as Huntress btw!

Like..what is going on?

I stopped when I reached T15 maps and got bored. I like the campaing much more than maps. I am not into repetitive grinding.
believe it or not the thing that made me stop playing the game is the red mob outlines, it looks soooo ugly, and there is no way to disable it, what’s funny is that GGG disable it when showing gameplay, it’s like they know it looks ugly and yet there is no option to disable it.
