Is this game actually fun anymore? It feels like it’s getting worse and worse!

Path of Exile 1’s hard-earned reputation and loyal fanbase are on the verge of being completely destroyed by Path of Exile 2.

It is getting worse sadly.

I mean, if you don't play Druid, this patch makes game worse with 0 content.

I skipped 0.3 and am enjoying 0.4 far more than 0.2 so far.

Taking a break helped things seem novel again and I get like 1.5 leagues of new content instead of just 1.

sadly they took a step backwards.

Haven't really been into this league. The mechanic / new class doesn't interest me. Hoping 0.5 will be the end game update we're all looking for. Let them cook!

IMO I really just need stuff to take less time. For me as someone who doesn't "no life" the game or do dozens of SSF chars so I can practice doing the campaign as quickly as possible, getting my builds online and to the point where stuff starts working just takes too much IRL time.

I'm there now with my one char this league and it's working, it feels good, I feel like I'm in a sweet spot where all my gear can be upgraded and I can still tackle maps above my level so I have a lot of great options to improve the build. It's like a candy store to pick what I want to do first to work on. This is a great spot for the character to be but it takes until like level 65 for them to feel this way.

Zones are very big, skills unlock too late, the game in general just scales content faster than you'll be keeping up at league start.

I have several build ideas in my head and cool stuff I want to attempt with some uniques I found but it's not like I'm going to have an alt with these builds online in a weekend or something just cause everything takes too long to do.

I feel it is worse.

It has never felt so full of glitches and performance issues. That on top of persistent poorly designed systems and mechanics.

Why does a fly stop ME dead in my tracks while everything bigger than a house cat pushes me around, often across the whole screen??? That push mechanics also manifests EXACTLY as if I am de-synced. Laggy, glitchy, garbage and annoying from a game play perspective. Triple loser of a design.

Now I am running into gem and stat interactions that make no sense.. after last patch, Brinked skills are heavy stunning. I have 100% chance to hit but I am routinely making 3,4,5 swings and not hitting. Boneshatter is hitting for almost nothing despite landing and heavy stunning primed mobs (like 20% of the time too!)

It's become a list too long recount over the last year.

I can't even bother with it at this point. My fandom is running out and that was the only thing that kept me trying again after being exhausted by the consistently terrible and frustrating slog.

worst league since the start of poe1. i searched 3h for 1 build that i would like to play and found none. league meachnic crap as well. like wtf. dont be so disconnected with the community. and whats this projectile nerf about. just nerf like all attack proj builds in the game to the ground. i understand LA deadeye needed a nerf but the nerf to lightning rod would have been enough. but no wait. cut all projectiles you can shoot in half on top of that. thats a great idea. in poe1 we had like 7 projectiles u can shoot here now endgame u have like 3. feels good. great game. keep it up.

im just bored. its still too slow.
