Your game still has A LOT to learn from Diablo games

You know, adults struggle in a real life. There is no need to struggle in a video game. If a game is meant to be a second job, then you know what...

I found one-button builds in casino-like endgame for div/hour grind much more "second job" than interesting challenging fights with strong mobs and bosses.

Yea....tell this again to GGG who supports still OP builds....

Put damage cap, nerf all builds, buff all monsters, see how many players are gonna bother with this game.

I mean xp loss is fine and there should be a penalty for dying. White mods can't one shot you with full defense. If they are doing that to you it means your build is bad. I can afk in t16 Abyss without issue, so an adjusted to your build is probably the best solution. "Nerfed" is only used by people when it impacts their build, rather than stating it's actually balance adjustments, which is objectively what it is.

Overall I just couldn't disagree more. No one wants the game to be a mindless loot fest. There needs to be some struggle involved, otherwise the payoff doesn't matter. Good luck in the new league though.

I know practicing helped me get better at the game and I'm sure if you put time in you can get better and not worry about what you wrote so much. Good luck!

If it feels like a second game then it may not be a good option for you, unless you really enjoy your job. Playing something that you don't like and then wanting to it be changed is a very entitled mindset, especially for a game where the developers themselves have stated they prefer that around 90% of players not be able to complete all content.

In the end they want a game that is more of a struggle and the majority of the player base likes the bit of difficulty and grind it adds. I think it's good for the game too.

We don't want chicken OP builders ruining ridiculously this game by one hit kill bosses. Let them back to Poe1 to brag about their achievements. We want skillfull players who know what meaningful combat means.

There are also adults who don't struggle in real life se we can bear a little struggle in video games.

Right now, the Path of Exile 2 experience is awful, especially on console. And that’s not even taking the performance issues into account.

You practically need a tablet, smartphone, or PC next to you just to trade or check prices. Crafting isn’t fun either - you have to keep opening websites to check possible affixes and outcomes. The whole system feels like a casino: most of the time, you just fail.

If you look at RMT prices, endgame items literally cost hundreds of dollars. That’s insane. This game has seasons!

I understand that some grind is part of the genre, but the amount of effort required here is on the level of Korean MMORPGs - it honestly feels a bit like Lineage 2.

The current item system needs a serious rework. If you’re running a level 82 zone, you shouldn’t even be able to drop items with tier 6 affixes. Everyone uses loot filters to hide garbage items, yet 99% of what drops is still trash (LOL).

Then there’s crafting. The number of materials (orbs, omens, etc.) required to create a decent endgame item is absurd. After 250 hours this season, I’ve literally seen one Omen of Whittling - that’s ridiculous.

Best example is preparing waystones to open maps. The process is so overcomplicated it borders on parody. Try explaining to someone how to set up a waystone for a map - say it out loud and think about how absurd it sounds.

LOL... grow up, kid...

If you like D3 and D4, that's fine. Play them.

Recognize two very important points:
1) D3 and D4 were actively designed AGAINST D2, rather than WITH it.
2) PoE (and by extension, PoE 2) was designed in almost the opposite way.

The two games cater to two completely different audiences within the genre. D3/D4 catering to a much much MUCH easier experience that requires very little thought: very attractive to the masses. PoE and PoE 2 far more difficult and DEMANDS thought: catering to a far smaller crowd willing to learn and improve.

Whenever anyone, and I mean ANYONE, compares PoE unfavorably to D4 (or worse, D3)....the entire argument boils down to: "I'm dying a lot" or "I deal no damage".

Sometimes I wonder if the first video games invented would have survived forums and social media. Games are 1000% easier today than 80s-90s

Sorry but only idiots use RMT in a game like PoE or PoE 2.

+1000. And so all RPG games become worthless in all meanings.
