Early Access Feedback - A Critical Thesis on PoE2 [MEGA DOC] - Forum

This is a great write up! While I doubt they will, I hope the developers take some of the overlooked issues you detail seriously. People spend too much time complaining about balance when there are fundamental issues with many parts of the game. They are solvable problems, but they need to be fixed earlier rather than later in development.	Posted by LiterallyTheWizard#6109 on Dec 3, 2025, 12:20:25 AM Quote this Post

The 'criticism' is done, but the formatting isn't, you can still read it now. eyo you really took effort and time to do that type shi? man i hope at least someone at ggg reads that xd	Posted by Puente#5374 on Dec 3, 2025, 3:55:10 PM Quote this Post

They relate to my post, which you can take a look at here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3879773 Last edited by WhisperSlade#0532 on Dec 3, 2025, 4:33:50 PM	Posted by WhisperSlade#0532 on Dec 3, 2025, 4:31:19 PM Quote this Post
" The campaign got nerfed sooo hard it's World of Warcraft tier difficulty now. Fearing having difficult combat, the game is risking obliterating itself having no combat, because it fears to take the strides to have great combat. I literally don't understand the point of the campaign now. It's a completely brain off forced 40+ hr tutorial just like POE1.
