the game was made way too easy

i came back after taking a break for several months and roll a new sorc and pretty quickly I realized the game was insultingly easy compared to how it used to be. now I read patch notes and see mob health was reduced by up to 25%? It totally baffles me why this was done. Other than a couple of the bosses the game wasn't even difficult. At launch the basic trash clearing was in a perfect state, at least before endgame. Now POE2 is literally just Diablo 4. I just run up and press two buttons and things die. I don't have to think. At all. I don't have to synergize anything. I just throw down frost bomb and the sun ball thing and everything just dies. Every boss is beaten on the first try (after several months off) with little need for my flasks at all. I don't know if this is just a way to temporarily placate people while they fix something else but if this is going to be the experience of the game then why the hell am I even playing it? this shit was literally goated when it came out. it just needed content and some balancing. endgame was a mess but the general skeleton of the combat was 10/10. Now it's like 3/10. It just looks pretty. Again, it's no different than Diablo 4 (which was also MUCH better at launch than it is now). I refuse to believe that ARPGs need to have the worst combat loop in the entire gaming medium. I witnessed it with my own eyes when I played POE2 at launch. What the fuck?

Only going to get easier from here on.
The game never gets harder, only easier. They will keep power creeping and "balancing" things (aka buffing skills to be stronger than current meta skills) until the game is POE1 again.

I actually quit POE2 because the game is too easy, "soulslike" lol, good joke.


[Removed by Support] The whole reason PoE2 is develop is to NOT become PoE1 and to not repeat the mistakes of PoE1.. If there is ANY tiny chance they do that, this means 95% of the skill gems and support gems will be annihilated..! There are so many conditional skills and support gems that it's impossible to use in a fast pace gameplay. In matter of fact the game will be getting slower and get more meaningful playstyle. The whole roots and core of the game screams slower pace style gameplay. The reason we have endgame type PoE1 is because they didn't got time to develop Endgame and copypaste it from PoE1 so that they have something. But with overtime they will slow it down. Just like we saw with 0.2 patch. So instead to smoke copium of 0.3 to be faster, be prepared for even more slowdown in the next patch as should be.. This game aint gonna turn PoE1 as you want so much.. The core principles of the game wont allow it haha


I hope you're right, but they stated in 0.3 they're going to buff skills to make more builds viable which to me screams "let the power creep begin".
I played POE1 since nemesis league and saw the power creep rot that game away.

I actually disagree and agree. It really depends on which perspective where you are coming from. You are correct in YOUR perspective. But if we consider perspective from other player types, let's use myself as example. Beginner PoE2 player here with 2 weeks experience and with 1 league experience in PoE1 but with extensive experience in D4.

Leveling and gearing in D4 is way easier. There are many ways to get better gear in the early phases of the game. In PoE2 it's not that easy. Act 1 was difficult for me the first time around. It was relatively easier after my 2nd char. In D4, it wasn't even that hard the first time and it was easier the second time around (obviously even easier as the game progresses)

PoE2 requires dodging / evading in the early phases of the game. You can't just tank things and run around with two buttons UNLIKE in D4. I don't know if you are just exaggerating, making a metaphor, or literally just running two buttons in PoE2. I don't think in D4 you can run around with 2 buttons really. Again, I can't tell if this is just sarcasm. Sometimes when I make assumptions I misinterpret folks so I would rather get clarity of what you really mean here.

But I agree D4 is metaphorically two buttons smash but I disagree if you mean it literally. I also disagree in my perspective that PoE2 is just two buttons smash metaphorically and even literally.
