The new video doesn't address the most contested/concerning thing.

This new video you put out doesn't address the most contested/concerning thing, which is the direction of the game when it comes to combat.

You've promoted PoE2 for a long time as having good and engaging combat, or at the very least that was your aim when you did so. But now, even in the videos you guys make, there are characters in the background that do anything BUT engaging combat.

"We still want some map bosses to be more challenging and rewarding though" - Let alone that this isn't true, what does that even mean for the bosses on normal maps? That they're supposed to be complete pushovers?

Make a god damn statement already on what your plans are with the game, It looks more and more like you're going fully towards PoE1.

You've reduced monster density only for it to become the same in later maps, completely missing the point as to why people were complaining about it in the first place.

Again.. MAKE IT VERY CLEAR WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE!

but the thing is that the "challenging map bosses" are not challenging, people kill them in 2 seconds, people even kill pinnacle bosses in 2 seconds

There is a huge disconnect there, but i would just wait and see what happens in 0.4

Personally i expect a lot of changes to balance until release, i cant imagine they are happy with the state of balance but who knows.

Why are you even commenting if you don't understand the most basic things?

Campaign bosses are generally fine. They could be slightly tougher but campaign is already a drag.

Endgame bosses should absolutely be tougher IMO. Especially pinnacles, but they also need to be more rewarding. Arbiter gives me rare mob level drops. They should have more than 3 tiers, getting harder and harder as you go up.

As for the rest of this:
Endgame was never supposed to be super different from POE1.
Campaign is and that's fine.

At the end of the day this is POE.
If you want a souls like go play one, you have a LOAD of options.

Your favourite lie on the forum.

Yeah, the current vision seems to be like a big joke.

Hope this helps.

I wonder if they'll try to remove parry at this point with how things are shaping up rapidly towards the same PoE1 zoom zoom style stuff.

I guess they'll just make it hit the whole screen when you parry, or maybe two screens away so it can compete with ranged builds, right?... lmao

Well, they did clearly say that bosses in the endgame are supposed to be a challenge

Now we have to wait and see if 0.4 will bring those bosses. He talked about 0.4 being major changes, so...
