Well after 150 hours... can say the game is terrible at the end

[Neurodrive]

So, i really tried, i believed really hard in this project and at the beginning things seemed to be in place, but after 150 hours of testing multiple builds, finished campain, finished full ascendency,(which was absolutely boring), going late game to see if things are better... and No it's even more boring and full of technical problems that makes you just quit the game after 1 hour of mapping :

- looking for citadel forever
- looking gear forever
- looking orbs forever
- scam market
- market price out of control
- majority of build are just bug exploit with nerf warning everywhere...
- 50% of the class and 80% of those not working or bugged
- UI perf scoping bugged
- base multipliers bugged
- hitboxes, bugged
- anim , bugged, straf and counter bugged (WASD Pathetic implemented)
- no cancel anim, especially on levers, good job....
- Map colliders
- memory buffer
- shader cache and compile bugged
- some skeleton bugged, model and vertex pinned in world causing geometry artefacts
- non opti effects ruining perf for nothing
- AO lighting flicking
- constant lags on maps even with 2ms ping
- constant non shots hit reg
- constant ghost spell cast
- the body blocking is not fixed ( no the hitbox doesn't shrink as it should even after their patch, anim has a huge delay)
- Some spells that makes the game struggle even with good graphic card.
- One shot out of screen due to multipler scalling problem, people are now looking to pass 80% res, in other work, res are bugged too. The same monster speel can one shot random from 1 to 3 times without any reason.
- armour system not working
- leech mechanics not working as intended.

+ all the other problems we can se all over the Net from most serious gamers we can say now that this game is a huge fail and garbage game.

70E to support this FOUR YEARS FAIL DEV, so bad that they have to ask Tencent to inject money.

This is what you get when you go support a team for EA in 2025, you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with bad concepts, bad design and bad technical.

It not even an EA it's a pre alpha just enough for public demo, it's a shame.

Anime profile, which is a good sign of mental illness, and lives in a southern state, so work probably very scarce for them.

Relax bro, GGG is small indie company owned by small family business from China (Tencent) and POE 2 not developed for over 5 years sure.



Also, BFR.:wangwithit:

In some cases this game hurts my eyes so bad I actually went to the doctor one time
GGG please tone down those ultra bright effects this is litterally making me want to uninstall.

That is me: "Oh I'd like to play so poe, mmh but it's going yo make my eyes hurt and potentially get me a headache so actually imma play something else, see you next time poe"

[donut32]

the game is just a test launch for tencents "poe immortal" to compete with diablo immortal. because diablo immortal is one of the most successful games of all time. it has even surpassed warcraft in terms of revenue. tencent wants a cut of the pie. nothing more to it than that.

no 150 hours just means i tried desperately had fun in this game of ♥♥♥♥, to get a solid overview before crying...... and now see this game is a crash.

its EA lol youre not wrong with alot of this but ♥♥♥♥ man why you cry so hard on this. bugs can be fixed. things can be fixed. maybe instead of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on steam go write constructively on the poe bug thread

So giving feedback now is crying..the only thing you guys have to say is " it's not true you clown" zero feedback, zero why, nothing, the only one that cries are you guys defending the indefensibile without backing anything up.
If the game industry have problems...the biggest one is people like you lot.

so you had fun for 150hrs with an EA game? how can it be terrible? most of it, expecially armor not working, sounds like the D4 release version :D

This kind of response is just pointless. You debated none of the actual points made and instead chose condescending broad sweeps to D4.

[SpottedHare]

You forget bad mob modifiers, bad trials, and bad maps

[Neurodrive]

Yeah, this post is not about the core philosophy of the game, it's about the way it built in a practical way. Some will be fixed for sure, others are really problematic. And yes i put 150 hours before this post, trying to not do a cry post because i'm dead on the wolf boss after 2 hours playing. Simple. I could have just go --> uninstall and put this game aside for ever?
But still i think this could be good in a way somewhat, taking time to just highlight those things in a humble free post here.

I really hope two things.

First that the build we are using is not the core build and will be just a patched build that will have a complete rework before the official launch implementing all the debug, hoping they won't introduce other bugs by cleaning the build, because it's a shame to publish something in this State, just because the picture you give of the Studio.

It would be very sad to learn that we are playing the official branch core build that will be patch over and over during years......

Second that GGG will react faster about bad design choices and maybe test their game deeper?

Just a point, how is it possible to miss the Blood mage Leech bug or armor bug or all the other BASIC THINGS? How is it possible to miss the CoC problem? How in few hours LvL 40 players are already able to show it up as they don't know the game yet?

The problem comes when you put this Dev in a larger perspective.

This game is not a fresh 1 year build that need money and help to push the game concept in a good State, it's a 4 years dev Game, coming up with a 10 years previous Title solid experience, supported by fan players, new players, and Tencent.

Be honnest, this is NOT what we expected, they said " is half backed" yes ok, they said " it's EA" ok. We have 50% of the class, ok, end game will have to be Tweaked ok.
I was supporting their vision, mocking a little bit the errors or other studios that i won't mention here, and at the end??? They did the same mistakes and even worst. They should stop staring.

So it's not half Baked, it's 30%, not even EA Beta, once again it's clearly an Alpha.
Your 50% class are not working, your late game need A COMPLETE REWORK, your progress scaling is Absurd, you have no replay loop, the loot system is not in place, your market system is wrong, the game Runs poorly and i'm afraid it will stay like that + all the things that we can see all arround the Net, streamers, community feedback etc etc.

It's not a clean base, solid but incomplete that just needs time to be even more solid

IT'S A COMPLETE MESS.

Cheers.

To someone who knows how to play PoE, this EA is better than most EA's on the market. :P
Had reasonable expectations you know. Turns out the game is much more playable that I anticipated, compared to PoE1 beta and things like palworld or BG3 EA. :P

You litterally paid for an early access pass to play the game in an unfinished state. you paid for what you're complaining about. The game is free.

Also, not many actual poe players care about standard rofl, we're all here for leagues. My standard stash on PoE1 is probably filled with 750 temporary stash tabs of junks that came down from leagues, and I am never gonna log there to check it.

Edit: Thank you for validating me with your points. :D
