Please LOWER the difficulty level it's not fun

It's not fun dying all the time

Folks, this is NOT an easy game for most people,. This is particularly true for Act1. I do think that the bosses in Act 1 need to be weakened a bit.

GGG are creating a particular market that only a few people actually like. I can name at least one other game developer that chose a similar path and now only the botters 'play.' GGG will lose a lot of players from this game that may never return. If you like GGG, you need to convince them to appeal to the masses or they, just like others, will become something you will also hate. The game in its current form, if it gets released, will be the beginning of the end for GGG.

Games like this are almost impossible to get right, I truly hope they are capable of making it so.

and yet my wife who is an avid SIMs 4 player cleared Act 1 on Witch, one of the weaker classes, without any issues and killed every boss in 2 attempts or less.....

If she played SRS then it was and still is one of strongest starter builds.

In my opinion, PoE2 is much harder than PoE1. I have played PoE1 for 2500hr and I like it. But in PoE2 some bosses are to hard and I got them only by help. Understanding the boss mechanism helps, sure, but some bosses overcharged me. Specialy the Executener, Boss act1 and act3. Boss act3 was undoable for me. Now I´m 47 elementarist in Utzaal and I´m getting my first „zone undoable“. Trying for 3hr butI´m being overwhelmed untill now (zone is 43). I´m playing PoE2 for 91 hr now but most oft he time I´m feeling bad.
And hey, you genious, you rush from boss to boss, do not tell me I´m a looser . The game itself tells me that all the time.
I hope the difficulty will be adjusted, otherwise I probably won't get to 2500 hours in PoE2.

I really do not get how ppl struggle with Executioner lol. Killed him in under 30 seconds on my Sorc first try. Ranger first try, Warrior first try.

No clue what SRS stands for but she is not one to look up guides.... She just plays, asks me about gear every now and then and that's it

EDIT: just looked up SRS which appears to be a minion build, she does not utilize minions at all

So instead of figuring out the game , they need to yellow paint it for you...
If you are not willing to learn 2 tactics and how your class works then maybe POE is not for you

Literally this. Ppl need to go play Grim Dawn, D4, or Last Epoch. All 3 are face rolls, with loot pinatas

When did you last play GD? GD had a update where they lowered the amount of loot that drops. And alot of people were angry/sad. Insted they made the loot better and more money drops, it might have been the update where they also added evade and health/mana pots free.

Been a while, I personally found the game to be a snooze fest. Played through once and called it good

[Feared-HUN]

I uninstalled the game after dying to both tomb bosses for the 9-10th time. Simply not fun, just a tedious chore. Say what you want about Diablo 4, but I could progress without a sweat (it wasn't easy though, but easily manageable).
I understand that not everything needs to be super easy (also not super hard), but a player who pays for the product should have the OPTION to decide whether said gamer wants to play on story or brutal difficulty. Why not present the option to choose? Mind boggling.
Never understood the gigabrutalmega hard difficulty of Souls games. Why can't I choose easy, normal, hard, brutal. See it's not thet complicated. It's not like HL Alyx, where the whole point of the game is VR, and it's a shell without a VR set. But PoE2, Sekiro, Wukong wouldn't be empty shells with a normal or story mode. They'd be quite decent action games like DMC or God Of War, etc..

And Yes, I don't like hard games, I've been playing video games since the late '80s, but never every like hard games. I've always been playing to have fun, and getting my a** handed to me for the 1000th time is as far from fun as I can think of it..

nop

[Purromi]

they will increase difficulty. end-game is to easy and to fast for a level it's not supposed to be what they declared.

and i wish after holidays they provide big nerfs to make they promises more truthful. For now cruel is easier and end game is even easier and game loses it's identity at all.

should be even harder at later stages and not easier.

[Bones]

The difficulty is fine. If you find it too difficult then level up or get some better gear or maybe PoE is not for you.

Expecting the game to be changed because you find it difficult is next level entitlement. It's like trying to learn guitar, finding out it's not that easy and expecting the manager of guitars to change them because it's too hard for you.

[Crim]

dont worry eventually it all gets easy. Just get raging spirits if you play witch, Tempest bell if you are a monk, Galvanic shards/ velocity rounds for merc, or spark/ orb of storms for sorc. Hard part about this game is just finding out which abilities actually work right. Then you are good
