I can't be the only one that feels this way

I enjoy the game. however my joy is many times dwarfed by the frustration of playing for 2 hours and get one shot or swarmed by random MOBs only to die and lose all the experience I've gained.

I want a difficult game but how is wasting 2 hours enjoyable? Its not like item drops are amazing here, and I'm selling a ton on the market. Ive sold 1 item for 5 ex 10 levels ago and I'm like level 74. I've purchased 0 items. I have 1 div.

Im a huntress and its like most of the huntress are some form of the same exact build, lightning. While that build looks fun as hell, that's boring.

Where is the trade off to end game playing vs being forced to find a build online and emulate it exactly to actually get somewhere?

I find little exalts so slamming items to gamble isn't even really happening.

Not the game I'm talking about here, but this mechanic that makes me feel like I'm in some terrible loop of progress and then having it all taken away in 1 second and not having anything to show for it.

POE2 feedback needs to go in the POE2 feed back section.

I'm sure it's all valid feedback but this section is for POE1 gameplay questions. It's probably not going to be looked at or responded to in this section.

This is the Early Access Feedback section for PoE 2.

The design bosses that require you to kill them in seconds then nerf the builds and skills that make that happen.

You're not the only one. Quick look around these forums and all over the net, theres many share you're feelings,

Petty. Thats what I would call the last patch. They are loosing more and more people, who are willing to tell them over and over. Not sure where this is going. But they have exactly one more try with me. After that, its classified. A release, a major content and several balance patches without fixing the core is enough statement for me.

Just tried 2nd trial of Shek for the 5th time. Died like 2 rooms away from the bosses. I have nothing to show for an hour of play. No items, no substantial currency. No experience.

From a dev standpoint what did that accomplish?

You're playing with dopamine here and this process reeks of dopamine dips. As developers have you ever considered dopamine and its correlation with gaming? There is a fine line between frustration and possibly (probably) quitting and motivation and thinking, OK I made some progress lets do better next time.

And with zero progress you'll inevitably end up with the former.

I said i gave up for this season but still loaded the game up again last night. Got a new spear with lot of accuracy that felt pretty good. Tried 4th ascendancy again in chaos, 11 levels above the content, should be easy peasy. Didn't die on the the tornado from the flappy bird boss yet he flapped once right after the tornado and i was dead again. Rage quit game once more.
