Guys, what just happend?

[Peeto]

I just arrived finally in ACT 1 in to final boss of that ACT, and I beat it on first attempt :( ... even without upgrading m armor to max or even without farming a lot..even my gems are not all maxed for the act. And you want to decrease difficulty ? :( ... playing as witch and minions. I have never watch an yt video or guide... and I still did not disovecered how all stuffs work with gems and supports etc.

Act 1 is basically the tutorial.

Depends on what you consider farming. I think at launch a lot of people are rushing through the acts and are undergeared and underleveled.

If you're taking the time to explore, you'll be at an adequate progression to face it. Loot luck has some relevance there, and they did just buff loot drops too.

Please, tell us your skills and class so the devs' fun police will nerf it into oblivion in a day or two like it happened to gas grenades

yes, I just took time to explore and gather everything... I repatet 2-3 times few of the bosses so I get some nice items on top.

LOL that is because you played with broken skills more than likely. I have everything i can have an still cant beat the last boss, oh wait its because hes been copied and pasted just like every single other boss doing the same type of skills just different effects, then the locked on skills that you cant dodge what so ever no matter how hard you try, then you question your character, then spend another 6 hours grinding to test another one out to find out its not you its the game itself. Its pretty bad when your 5-6 levels higher than the area and still cant kill a boss just saying. So yes i can see them fixing something here. Act 1 states level 15 for the last boss yet almost everyone i know is level 18-22 to be able to beat him and thats probably because the lack of gear that drops or the passive tree is so out of wack it only makes sense to play 1 type of way.

dunno if its rare, but found 2 low level uniques during my playthrough 1 ACT ... but it helps me to add +100 spirit and add more minoins.. (armor)

Did you use raging spirit?
That will melt anything.
Try without it.

There is also a reason why a big % of the player base plays Witch or Sorc or ranger or merc.
Ranged chars have it far more easy.

Act 1 boss is certainly Ok for veterans of this type of game.
New players who never played Diablo or Path of exile will struggle a lot.
More so if they pick on of the terrible starting skills or god forbid try melee.

Its EA, they gonna rebalance this.
The thing is, Act 1 is the introduction and needs to be chalanging enough to make you able to fight act 2 bosses but easy enough so most people can do them.

Right now i think the Act 1 bosses are just as difficult if not more difficult then the act 2 bosses.
At least i had a more easy time with Act 2 bosses then act 1.
This should be the other way around.

Your experience will be wildly different than someone elses. People need to understand that difficulty complaints are valid. Their solution is always "you aren't doing what I am doing so that is why you are a loser" which is a boneheaded incel way of communicating with someone.

If you play certain classes, easy.

If you get lucky with drops, you will be on easy mode.

if you play on a controller or WASD instead of mouse movement, it is easy.

Everyone who had the opposite experience with these 3 things, did not have a great time. This needs to be corrected, and acknowledging the issues and fixing them should be encouraged instead of this elitist child attitude we are getting.
