I cannot believe how easy has the game become

Last time I played poe 2 was in 0.2. Out of complete boredom I tried poe 2 hc and To my complete shock it is now easier than poe 1. I played bear and I almost one shotted blue packs with one swipe of the basic skill??? I tanked all boss abilites not dodging anything and killed most bosses in about 5 seconds.

It is fascinating that 95% players play the sofcore league when the game has become so easy. What is the point of playing sc?

I remember devs saying that poe 2 will have hard bosses and you should be ready for a challenge. I guess that is no longer their vision LOL.

Can you do the same at juiced T15 map? If not then you are still in prologue.
weird flex bro
Play something not meta in ssf and you will see how frustrating the game with some builds is.
Yeah, remove +skills from all gear except amulets and some exotics maybe. This alone will make the game significantly harder without screwing newcomers with overtuned mobs.
This is bait lol

Boasts like that is exactly the game is in the sorry state it is... First of all it's a beta/early access with a new class, this tends to be overpowered as much was not properly tested, it's impossible given the time frame in which leagues last.

If people take comments like this at face value, what will happen is exactly the same thing has been happening in the past... nerfs kick in, and the classes/builds that didnt suffered from simptoms as you describe get punished because everyone things the game is easy, while actually the problem in a specific class/ascendency being overpowered.

That purple 6, tells me, you are probably not the right person to compare PoE1 to PoE2... And yes PoE 2 is actually easier, there is no skill/build checks like 'The Feared', because if there were, people wouldnt be boasting meaningless.
Tbh i dont think it was ever hard

I agree, but part of it is also that we now know how to play the game.

0.1.0 difficulty wise was really good, partly due to not knowing how to play.

I don't know how hard the game is for new players. Maybe for them the difficulty is just right...
game is too easy.

please make it harder.
