Game is not hard, it's just not fun

[Night]

First of all, it's boring. Dull, even slow most of the times (except boss fights)
Ranger (my pick) must be op or something.
It's not even hard, just not fun.

1. Dodge recovery time is a joke, dodge distance could be better
2. Attack speed is non existent. Boss' fights tries to play fast, you need to dodge a lot in these, but you can deliver only a few hits.
3. On the other hand "regular" combat feels sooooo sloooow
4. Loot? what's that ?
5. Damage ? well, I don't have problem with that, but a lot of other class does to the extent of unplayable category (maybe people can't make builds, true)
6. Some bosses' spell hitbox is a joke, you are not even close to the visual effect and you still get hit. Act 1 Boss is so sad. Beated him with 0 potion used (got screenshot if you need proof, but who cares) Not for the first try, that's true.
7. Game is already a 1 button smash because you don't really have more time to do anything between dodges.

bonus: unit collision without a "phasing" dodge or actually working movement skills is terrible

I can kill everything, but it's a chore. A long one.

It's a disappointment. Specially with all the hype around it.

Hope game will be better with the end of EA

Yep, Hades 2 plays faster than this game and let's you fulfill more of a power fantasy despite being a roguelite. The passive tree is very stale in comparison to PoE 1's. People will catch on especially once they make it to maps and see that the game plays the same as it did from Act 1. I will say the game is gorgeous though and the bosses look cool despite not really being fun to rollslop, uh, I mean fight against.

so act 1... of an EA game... in which you played 1 day(ish?) and have per definition the probably worst gear you will ever wear again (because fresh game, no eco, not yet possible to buy stuff that fits or have found enough stuff), and you say you can kill everything...

in the long run that means the game is still to easy... if i remember my first day in poe 1... yeah... i went to camp 20 times per map to sell every little ♥♥♥♥ i could to at least get something, up to the point i got me an exalt worth of mats. and got (as a lot of newbs) scammed out of it for a trashy item that seemed super good at that time.

i dont know how long ppl actually "farm" a zone and gear up, or just run through it and expect everything to insta pop into a red cloud... but i love me some hard boss fights. the bullet sponge part is somewhat a concern now, but i guess later that will change... i mean, as someone said, its what 1-2 telegraphes for the act 1 bosses you have to dodge for a longer time because tons of hp? good training for the probably 20+ telegraph multiphase stuff you have to do later...

anyway, i cant even play the thing because my pc imploded... so, be happy you can actually complain about it, i can just pretend until i get a new rig up and running =P (which will take the whole EA phase sadly...).

This game is fun - this game is not too hard. This games requires a minimum set of attention to what you are actually doing.

Can't disagree more.

1. Dodge recovery is good. You can also cancel your dodge mid-dodging or cancel your attack and dodge.
2. Bosses have only 2-3 mechanics that actually deal damage to you, the rest you can just face tank. You only dodge those mechanics and spam attack the boss. I am melting them as a warrior with bleed and autoattacks.
3. In regular combat I have abilities that clear the whole group of mobs in an instant and molten blast into boneshatter is my choice for that. I run through the map like a maniac and group mobs just to kill a group of them all at once. You don't need to fight all the mobs as well.
4. You are too used to uniques. Yellow items are broken now. Blue are enough to clear anything if you build correctly. Yellow items give A LOT of stats, so they are kinda rare. I have only 1 unique item and I am not even using it. I prefer to have balanced resistances, instead of simping for uniques.
5. People can't make builds. They started quitting warrior for other classes, while I as a warrior am melting bosses.
6. Ok. Some hitboxes need to be changed a little bit. Literally a little bit. They are slightly off.
7. I don't have this issue. I can do a lot between dodges. I only dodge like 3 mechanics per boss. I face tank everything else. Their autoattacks deal like 10-15% of my hp. I can heal that.

i agree its abit boring, I am playing as the Witch Class and all i do is spam Firewall spell... Sure its my fault doing so, but its hard to not use firewall as its the only AoE spell that feels good for the Witch so far.

[GlowSticks]

Visuals need improvement.. Because when I use ice nova it's nearly impossible to see anything.

And yea some of the hitboxes are cucked.

Sounds like a lot of people are gimping themselves by basic attack spaming. Boss fight have been a blast for me and I have enjoyed the combo set ups I can do with my warrior and sorc. Both classes I have played I use a wide array of skills to build up my damage. If I just basic attacked or used one spell yes the game would feel like a slog and be much slower. You leave a lot of damage on the table by not weaving abilities together to build off one another.

I would suggest looking at support gem and how they interact with one another to build damage or offer value in interesting ways. Both classes I have played have ways to add high amounts of damage to x spell by doing y.

I also personally like that I don't need a loot filter in this game and that crafting is a meaningful aspect of the game that makes white items even worth looking at.

If things are taking too long to kill or the game is feeling to hard I would suggest looking at your gear, see what you can upgrade or craft new. Check out the vendor ever time you level up too, there can be good base items available to you as well. Don't horde crafting materials or be afraid to move things around in your passive tree or skill gems. The game forces you to interact will all the mechanics of the game or thing won't work out well for you.

I am in the same situation. Likely the same build as you lol. but really theres not much flexibility with witch.

But ya I agree, outside of the boss fights the game is pretty tedious and boring.

I mean, half of the classes, spells, support gems and everything are not in the game yet. When they arrive, I will not even know what to do. I will be lost xd
