POE2

Okay. After a few hours. And after spending 1k for the 600 point bundle and getting some stashes.

I can say, I enjoyed D4 more.

It looked okay. Then the new patch made it ****

I have only finished act 1, had to work this weekend so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Basically if you liked ranger or sorcerer you can't play them because they do not do damage anymore so you are forced into playing a new ascension or huntress.

In order to play these classes you have to use 4 skills and chain them to do damage and the pay off is not even amazing. With huntress you need to do spinny thing 3 times, then parry to activate ice proc then shoot tornados that are ice infused. To do 10-20% damage to the mob repeat that 5 times per pack. Like wtf

If I was doing that and wiping out 50% of a bosses health bar cool but with bosses I now need to do that on repeat for 5-10mins while dodging their attacks which makes getting off the entire combo impossible.

I don't think I have disliked a patch in any game as much as I have this one. Will wait for someone to find an OP build then follow a guide to try it out but don't think there is a point to continuing untill then.

Playing minion build. And it just blows. Could not kill the end of act 1 boss with out some help. Went into act 2 and just stopped.

Will stop here since there are no "rewards" for this league and progressing further is just boring.

Well at least I will have more time for D4 season 8.

Or maybe I should dust of my pc and play last epoch
 
Also out. Mates are out. This is not what I want from ARPG's.

Its abundantly clear these guys cannot juggle 2 games. At all.
 
Didn't put a lot of hours in, but doing well through act2.
2 Mates also around the same progress, Huntress, Witch & Ranger. Planning on seeing it through.
 
Finished the campaign yesterday, damn its hard and slow, hopefully they buff player damage or reduce mob health at least. I see they are already making good changes with the minor patches
 
PoE2 set out to be a much slower and methodical game. No zipping around the map like PoE1.

Unfortunately it ended up exactly the same as PoE1 with the first season.

With these changes I'm hopeful that the devs can bring it back to where we have to do proper boss mechanics again and not just 1-3 shot everything anymore.
The moaning you see on reddit and elsewhere from people unwilling to actually do mechanics and spending more time on their gear, builds and use more than 4 abilities is rather sad but expected.
 
Stop defending mediocrity. That is why we are here. When the majority of the player base says its bad. Its because its bad. It's not because the majority of the player base cant press 4 buttons. Its because its bad. What? Are you thinking you are the only one able to press 4 buttons.? Is there like a secret 4 button guild somewhere we all weren't invited to or what? Can you positive chaps teach the rest of us the way of the 4 buttons please? Because we too can press 4 buttons but don't have positive things to say. We are pressing 4 buttons but the game is still a slog. Is there something wrong with us? What's wrong with us? Are we pressing the wrong 4 buttons?

Sponsored streamers are calling this update bad buddy. Rax is calling it Dawn of the Yawn. Darth is just lolling at the memes. Lily said its the worst leveling experience she has had in any game ever. Empyrian said its miserable. He aint even playing it. Sponsored. Streamers. Some of these guys had lunch with GGG in the past. GGG paid for their plane tickets. Gave them game codes. Gave them free cosmetics. Even advertised their streams. They aint shilling.

Do yo not think that, just, maybe, perhaps, possibly, there is actually a problem when this is the worst seasonal launch in POE history with 63k players noping out 2 hours after logging in on launch day?

All true, and all pretty easy to fix. They were trying to make it more difficult, because people said they didn't want an easy game. So they overcorrected, and have already starting pulling back some of the monster difficulty.

Game's still in beta - this is all to be expected.

Has everyone forgotten how bad D4 was when it first launched?
 
I switched off of the minion build after killing the act 1 boss. Switched to ED + Contagion and having a way more comfortable time progressing. I'm not a fan of how long it's taking just to get through the campaign just to get to the content I actually want to do.

To be fair to D4 everyone I spoke to / interacted with enjoyed the D4 campaign at the very least.

Endgame was a different story
 
I'm not playing hardcore since that's pointless on my connection.

The problem for me is that you're forced to play the stupid story over and over, and running those maps you spend more time between fights than actually being in combat due to the slower pace. Then every now and then they force you to fight an overpowered boss which isn't my thing, I prefer the constant packs in my ARPG's.

Because its slower overall and extremely random you sometimes don't get anything in the way of upgrades. On my Witch I got 2 items with +minion skills before level 4, but then on another character you get nothing that's useful throughout the whole first act.

Having to play up to mid-level before you get more options as to skills to use etc. is really crap, especially if that takes e.g. 12 hours. At the moment I'm playing while watching some streams, otherwise its too boring.

Yup, there's a gap between the actual content released and the endgame, which is why you need to rerun acts 1-3
 
0.2.0c dropped:

Minions buffed among other things:

Balance changes:
・ Minions have approximately 15% more Life through the early Campaign, tapering down to be unchanged by Gem Level 30 (or so).
・ Gem Level 10 Minions now have 41% More Damage.
・ Gem Level 15 Minions now have 50% More Damage.
・ Gem Level 20 Minions now have 60% More Damage.
・ Gem Level 30 Minions now have 79% More Damage.
・ The Life threshold Skeletal Arsonists can target other Minions, and the heal amount of Skeletal Clerics has been adjusted proportionately to the Minion Life changes.
・ Adjusted the Damage, Attack Speed, and Mana Costs for the following Spear Skills:
・ Spear Throw deals ~8% more Damage at all skill levels.
・ Lightning Spear Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 50%) and deals ~5% more Damage at all gem levels.
・ Glacial Lance Attack Speed is now 50% of base (from 45%).
・ Storm Lance Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 55%).
・ Whirlwind Lance Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 55%).
・ All the above skills (except Spear Throw) have had their Mana Costs lowered proportionately to the Attack Speed increases.
・ Candlemass, the Living Rite's abilities has had their cooldowns slightly increased (This should result in it using attacks that are parryable more often).
・ Fixed an issue where one of Candlemass, the Living Rite's cleaves were unblockable/unparryable.
・ Count Geonor's abilities have had their cooldowns slightly increased (This should result in him using attacks that are parryable more often).
・ Blackjaw the Remnant, Oloton the Remorseless and Stormgore have had their skills rebalanced and visuals improved so their damage area more closely resemble their visuals.
