Quote from: Reddd on January 02, 2025, 23:24:45I started poe fresh first time and thought i would just figure out a build on the go, right as i entered endgame i switched my build to an established one and i don't regret it at all. Same for a friend of mine (im ranger he's warrior) we're both doing fine progressing through maps, yea we die but that's part of it we also carry on. About 75/76 lvl now. If we see ourselves die a bunch of times in row we start running lower maps.

And yea the gear is rng, but you have to use the game economy in your favor. There's a large number of players farming AND selling, so instead of playing rng with your resources upgrading and hoping an exalt will give you the stats you need, use that currency to just buy the gear you want/need.

And as many have said, the game is in early access, literally half the classes are missing.

It's ok not to like the game, just should have put a disclaimer that the fame is not finished imo.

Maybe you can explain to me what's so cool about this game? My friend plays it 5 hours a day. I've been watching him for a couple of days. What can I say: he just runs around the map and hits creeps. It's just endless farming and hero upgrades. What's the point of the game?

Dopamine hit.

And as many have said, the game is in early access, literally half the classes are missing. I like games where there is a certain meaning and end to the plot. I don't see that in this game. Even some nice bonus at the end of the game is nice. This is as mentioned here about various bonuses, there is a beginning of the game - there is an end of the game with a nice ending. I really don't understand why so many people play Path of Exile. Millions were waiting for the second part to come out. In fact, there are no special changes between the first and second parts.

It would have been a much better use of your time to play something in your wheelhouse, you are clearly not an ARPG player, just a Diablo player (which is fine).  Listing all the ARPGs you couldnt get into at the start kind of limited the validity of your review.

Second is that you are compating an early access game to a completed one, with expansions.

I spent 6 minutes reading this article and now I regret every second.

I agree. Really fun game but needs work. Campaign is too meandering (so was D4) and doing it multiple times is a pain. End game has no longevity. But it's still early days I think they will work the kinks out and I am still enjoying it for now. I also thought end game of Last Epoch ruined the experience although their campaign was way better imo.

lol, look at all the crybabies mad because you have an opinion of the game different than theirs. Show me on the doll where the bad man's words hurt you. Fighting over video games is one of the most pathetic things ever.

I like POE2. Didn't like the first one, got so bored and looked like it was made on a potato. I can see myself ending up bored with POE2 simply because I can't run the campaign over and over again, I get no enjoyment out of that. But I will for each of the new classes as I have with the existing.

It's OK to not want to figure a game out in order to continue playing.  Wanting the game to be easier to accommodate a lack of thought sounds terrible, though.

I play a game for more than an hour, I consider it "good," and move on.

I play a game for under an hour, I get a Steam refund, wish the developers the best luck, and move on.

I can't fathom putting 100+hours in a game and criticizing it. For me I might want to take a hard look at what I am doing.

Phony review as the xp thing is just not real.

You lose xp but not more than what you gained in the map until around level 90ish and you don't get to level 90ish until you've progressed a lot deeper in the end game and you should have a good idea of what you're doing.

If you're losing more xp regularly then you're getting wrecked at the start of each map and need to go to an easier map.

In your case, you just thought you're a good gamer and could blast through and, frankly, you're not. You can get better or wait until we can pump out comprehensive leveling guides for you vs bashing the game because it's too hard.

Played Poe 1 long ago, couldn't get into it, barely made it through the acts. Camera too close, game play not fun. PoE 2 is my style. Challenging too. I've hit walls changed up my character and skills and tried different things and found myself pleasantly surprised. I'm in act 2 cruelty now and game certainly feels easier then the first 3 acts. Boss fights where very cool.
Don't let the crying get to you. Steam charts speak for itself on Wednesday night the game had over 300k playing. Who knows how many more on the GGG launcher.

Lol I read this whole thing because when I started poe 2 I also struggled. It took me FOREVER to get to just cruel. But, now that i understand the game and actually took time to plan out my path on the passive tree im blasting through with no problem and cant wait to try some other set up with my character. Ive never seen someone openly tell everyone how bad they are at gaming and that they sunk 160 hours into it to realize it wasnt for them. Stick to simpler games that dont require much thought. Theres plenty of games out there that give you weapon that say ATK and armor with DEF so you wont be confused.

Look at all the butthurt PoE shills. The game is bad. It might get better with time but PoE 1 is bad as well. Both games have less players playing convectively then D4 does at any given moment. Keep crying because people speak the truth

This is why I no longer care or trust game journalists and now only trust a handful of YouTubers.

I would not speak about perfection or something. The game is really good. But so many misinformation by you and many others. The game is hack n slash. You can see a little the market from times to times you can found good items to buy and you may sell your no build item's for buying those. Not that will be recommended but you could play your warrior with elemental magic wand and focus nothing is class locked. Praising diablo but the rng was as much. Praising elden ring and soulsborne by itself is joke but that's a huge topic. Legit the bad thing it had was: 1 anyone needs elemental resistance s almost capped or capped for me that destroying build unique and 1st trial alongside honour for melee could be really bad experience but neither of those got mentioned.

Just bad criticism and comparisons with games you probably never played to your life

Another journalist that thinks they're part of the majority when they're the minority. Grinding gear games is hitting the player base that it needs for path of exile.
