Nice brick wall of progression you got there...

[Casualfield]

would be a shame if players started quitting because of it....

Oh wait....

It's so much fun spending hours on end to MAYBE get a tiny increase of power/sense of progression while being punished constantly.

yeah endgame has reached a point where the market has been swindled so hard by the chinese that you are more or less forced to RMT to get good gear, or grind for weeks to get even small percentile increases in power. prices of good items continue to rise while the supply of divines to afford them decreases since the chinese are taking them off the market for RMT purposes.

"meta" builds become un-affordable once word gets out. the brickwall is real and its very steep. I was lucky to get some godly pieces for a low price early on before the RMT market kicked in and im smooth sailing but the endgame is just so barren and lifeless, all the endgame bosses are poorly tuned and get oneshot by many builds.

that being said I think this is the worst state poe2 will ever be in, given time.

I hope they do quit. There are too many ex D4 scrubs and that should go back to their mickey mouse vampire survivors clone.

Nah the upgrade is really huge, but only if you are lucky. But luck is the thing that I have problem with most of the time. My upgrade is not additional 1% crit chance. No, it is something like a frikking 1k-2k of shield or 10k dps different.

True to an extent. Usually you are down so bad that the upgrade is massive but the effort doesn't match the reward imo and while I am pretty high geared at lv 91 Deadeye it doesn't feel worth it all to grind for the next upgrade.

They said endgame is half baked.... Obviously it's not finished as it's a beta, so why would you complain on the steam forums without even providing useful information or critique? It's weird lmao

so I know this might be hard for someone of your iq level to grasp but, making a post and saying you don't enjoy something does fit into that category. op states the endgame feels like a brickwall, which it does. he feels as though gear upgrades are minuscule and unobtainable.

It's boring and lifeless. there is no need to be pointlessly hostile, instead you should seek to encourage and help point out better ways to articulate points instead of shooting anything down and calling it weird, mr pseudo intellectual.

The critique is in the title of the post and the text below it? lmao

Can't speak for most players obviously but I'd say the progression issue happens before "end game" imo but not sure what "end game" means to you.

I'm sure the fact that one side of the aisle promotes hatred and bigotry and the other side focuses on empathy doesn't sway moderation at all.

Some people really think early access means the end product will change. Name a beta or EA where the game significantly changed? Don't have actual feedback/discussion regarding the post don't comment.

Some people like to use EA as a blanket for all bad game design, I’m sure GGg will fix it like they did in POE1

TRUE. I'm sure D4 is a good game now after all this time of getting bashed. Troy Muni with his 220 hours in PoE 2 is probably right and we should play D4 and Vampire Survivors instead.
