Path of Exile 2

Also they better bring back the original shadow voice actor and his dialogue, all the current actors and scripts take themselves way too seriously.

I'm leveling an Ice Strike monk right and it is one of the best feeling skills I've ever played. Maybe it goes to shit at maps but right now I'm zipping around freezing and exploding everything in sight. If you get the timing right you can tp from one mob to the next with each swing (if the whole pack just doesnt explode) and it feels awesome. It's EA, if you picked a build that feels like shit, pick another one.

This really has nothing to do with you but if I hear "Its just EA bro" more on some of these issues I dunno what people think EA is for.

Did they really need a giant group of people to tell them maces and warriors felt like shit, particularly in comparison to the rest of the released classes? Ive said it before! Who implemented and tested this shit and thought "This is good!"

Nah levers you cant move from in maps are fine! Its just EA, if we the big brained players dont tell poor GGG this is shit they will just keep derping away! Thank god for EA
Maps are giant and backtracking didnt feel bad on testing? Just EA bro theres no way GGG couldnt see backtracking for fucking mandatory rares wasnt a slog and a PITA
We fixed melee! derpadee! Wait fuck that lets add 5000 on death effects, ground bullshit, burrowed enemies! Fuck you! Then lets add a layer of delerium fog cause FUCK YOU! Its just EA we are right!

EA is for shit like, hey this atlas idea they came up with is really not as good as the PoE Atlas and Towers make it worse, maybe rethink it, or Hey the passive system needs a lot of work its less intuitive then the PoE tree and having to spec into small stat nodes feels unfun and why is the life all gone? Or I guess they needed a refresher as to why everyone hated MF gear?

NOT

"Hi im Chris WIlson...today I designed pinnacle bosses that take forever to farm, have multiple one shot mechanics and you only get 1 attempt. Are I not just the best dev in the world!"

Noone could have said that was shit internally? Like they are just that retarded?

The difference between quaterstaff and mace is so stark its almost like its not even the same game. The charged staff tempest flurry monk is some of the best ARPG game play I've ever experienced and I usually don't like builder/spender type game play.

Depends on your perspective. I don't think it's coincidence that the split of opinions in this thread is almost completely poe1 vets vs tourists.

I'm not poor, I have no problem spending money on games for the right reasons. I've given GGG over $1400 because I felt like I was directly supporting a game I really liked. I stopped supporting them in 2022. Again, not coincidence.

So, for me, it's not just another $30 to buy a tab that I already have in PoE1. It's $30 plus the years of half-baked shitty leagues we've gotten. Frankly, I should expect the map tab to transfer.

Complete split huh? Only "tourists" are having any fun in PoE2? Lol ok pal. Here's some of my old POE1 toons. Anything over 90 is a different league. I certainly didnt no-life it for as many years as you did but ain't no tourist either and have give given GGG a couple hundred bucks over the years. Sorry for interrupting everyone's bitch fest, i keep forgetting that this thread is only for complaints.

Bro, you take screenshots with your phone. You're a tourist.

Ya I dont have FoH logged in on my new rig, sorry, its just way quicker. Please define tourist.

Bro we were just hitting normalization with poewiki being the first result in Google on search terms and then that faggot fextralife and all these other garbage tier sites ruined everything. At least i had a chrome extension that would redirect away from Fandom to poewiki on poe1 but search is garbage with poe2. Also when looking on youtube the OGs never come up (kripp, Jung, ziz etc) it's all new people with mostly horrible takes.

Am I the caveman for using print screen and pasting in to paint?

I'd feel better about PoE2 if it wasn't directly hindering PoE1. The first couple of patches are going to decide if I slide from downer to doomer.

A lot of the mace problems specifically are because maces were were the first thing they added forever ago in the alphas/closed tests.

The initial design of the game was all built with warrior+maces. It's just old, and a ton more of the game has been built since then, and pretty much nothing has changed with maces since their inception other that minor number tweaks here and there.

Maces being slow dogshit wasn't such a big deal in the 2nd closed test I was in because everyone was slow dogshit, WASD didn't exist, you couldn't move will firing/casting, etc. The game was just slow and a lot more plodding for everyone. Self casting comet was just a thing you did etc.

PoE2 has a bunch of issues. But this is like a 5-6 month testing ground for this kind of stuff. The "Yeah but I paid $30!" shit is stupid because no one tricked you into playing EA AND you get the $30 in credits for the actual Poe2 1.0 launch for whatever the fuck you want.

Game has a lot of rough spots and if you don't like it, quitting is definitely an acceptable answer. I'd say come back in 2-3 months whenever they probably do EA V2 and smooth out some stuff. Or come back even later when all the Ascendancies are out.

Pointing out this is 50-75% of a game right now isn't critical thinking, it's very apparent. Thinking that because of the state it's in, 3 weeks after EA launch, it'll never be good or D4 is better or whatever is beyond naive.

If you don't like it, don't play it. Come back later. Your account isn't going to expire. I've got two 90ish characters and 500k kills and I'm pretty much done until the next patch. This 2 weeks "hands off" period was actually a good way to figure out what's "OP" and what's just "good". You see people doing Pinnacle bosses on gas arrow? Not so much. Arsonists? Absolutely not. All the "OMG THIS TOO GOOD" shit was found out to be "good enough" and that's why they need long unmoderated periods of testing. The early CoFreeze nerf may have been premature, but they probably checked the numbers and went "oh shit" because something like 40% of the top 1000 characters were all Stormweavers using it. They only nerf shit when it seems like the only option to play. I'm sure Archemage is getting fucked, armor is getting buffed, Grim Remnants getting a timer, and mace skill speed probably getting upped. But that may take 1 week to 2 months. Just gotta dip in and out as you feel like it.

"If you don't like it just shutup and quit" is as useless and stupid as "I paid for you to listen to every opinion I have!"

Feedback needs to be given and discussion happens around said feedback because opinions differ.

Is PoE2 really necessary for people to remember how socialization works?
