this game is for POE1 nerds with no life.

This game is for POE 1 nerds with no life. You get to the end game and all those mechanics about maps, how to get maps, wasting time trading to get decent gear, orbs, wasting time learning the game mechanics, etc, just feels more like a chore than an actual game where you're supposed to have fun. Most guys that play games come from a day at work they just want to relax when they get home but with this game you need to get an intensive course just to learn all it's mechanics and waste time googling for stuff. This game is not new player friendly at all. Sometimes I find myself wasting more time googling for stuff than actually playing the dam game. Such a complex game with tons of features and there's no tutorial to at least give us the basic steps on how to succeed when you reach the end game. There's no tutorial about nothing on how to make the best of the atlas maps, most new players I know end up running out of maps, out of orbs and then that's when people start quitting the game. Games are supposed to make us enjoy a good time but this, this feels like a second job. Oh and the worst part is you lose 10% xp every time you die after lvl 70, you lose the waystone and you lose the orbs you used to mod the map because blank maps are useless except for doing towers so if you want good gear or more waystones (the most ridiculous feature I have ever seen in a game) you better exalt those maps but a new player like me doesn't have too many exalts or regals or better to begin with! Oh and the honour system is the most retarded cancerous mechanic I have ever seen in a game. It would be a lot better just to make the trial harder instead of shoving us a new temporary health bar. If this is your definition of fun... If I knew the end game would be like this then I would never buy this game and now it's too late to ask for a refund. Screw this game!

tl dr; OP thinks Path of Exile feels like a second job with its overwhelming complexity, lack of tutorials, punishing mechanics, and reliance on external guides, making it frustrating and unwelcoming for new or casual players.

(you're welcome OP)

An essay built on OP's projection onto others.

Sounds like OP can't handle fomo even when there is literally nothing to fomo over. Not even a EA season yet we just messing around. Why do you need to rush.. Think you are the problem tbh.

[DirtyMick]

I disagree. The campaign is the funnest part. It's for casuals who don't care about end game.

OP are you really wondering why millions of nerds are loving a game for nerds? Really? You can't make those two connections? Maybe the game really isn't for you.

[BeerManMike]

its just overly complicated, poorly done game play built upon old ideology, if kept on the same path then it will just become another POE-style end game for no life spergs. Here cause I love the core and idea of the game but if that's blinking around map after map in an epileptic fit hoping not to get one shotted then maybe the game isnt for me.

Yeah I prefer games where you can actually enjoy a good time you know? Games like Grim Dawn instead of wasting hours that I don't have googling about the 1124754932874134537820 number of mechanics just to be able to stay afloat in the endgame. If this is your definition of fun yeah you go ahead. Oh and the honour system that's the most ridiculous and stupid feature I have ever seen in a game. It's like GGG is devolving and just adding random stuff without any reason or logic for what? So they and you GGG fan bois can say: "oh that's so hardcore bro, work around it bro, git gud bro" ♥♥♥♥ you man!

Precisely man. Where's the fun in that? These dudes must be living under a basement and never see the sun light to even define this as a fun experience.

Different people like different stuff. You're old enough to have learned this already.

Also, some people are good at the game.

Good for them, hopefully the poe1 faithfuls and streamers can keep the game afloat, there are plenty of other great games out there and more to come. Also you're better than "git gud".
