Let's be honest here, guys.

There are fundamental issues with PoE2, it doesn't make the game bad, neither does it make it hard.
The developers vision of this game to be slow, with combo like setups of your abilities is true. You can witness it in many builds right now which require some questionable buildup.

That doesn't make the gameplay of said build bad, that's not the case whatsoever.
Its the fact that they have double down on making the player Slower, less potent against a untouched enemy which runs fast, hits fast and circles around you faster.

The fact that the majority of you are not able to see this, just show cases your inability to grasp this game for what they're trying to do, and instead have such a narrow minded, ignorant perspective of how their game should run based out of your own opinion, which matters ♥♥♥♥ all to the developers.

You guys are not making a difference in this game, because all of you complain about things the developers don't care about, because its outside their vision of what they want PoE2 to be, and the toxicity that follows from this community while being completely clueless really is a show case of how many of you are so dimwitted I am just sitting here thinking to myself, there's such grim chance of any of you actually rage baiting, but instead being emotionally unstable infantile like men that;

1. Sucks at PoE
2. Sucks at ARPGs
3. Sucks at formulating structured criticism
4. Sucks at being a grown up
5. Sucks in general

Go outside, touch grass. The devs dont care about you, you already gave them your time, money and "opinion" that is thrown into the paper shredder faster than you can funnel your outrage. Go to the gym, guys. PoE2 is not the game for you if you think you are making a difference by saying your opinion is a fundamental pillar to make ARPGs successful, and no other ARPGs success is irrelevant, because PoE2, as I previously stated, does not follow their formula. Again; go outside

I don't get the issue, I really really don't - I'm halfway through Act 2 using the new class and its not hard at all. AT ALL.

Just keep upgrading your skills and gear with runes and orbs, use some common sense when selecting passives, and your set. The game is fun, like you said you should combo your abilities and set up, its not like D4 were you stand in one place and hold attack and throw out an ability. The bosses have mechanics to learn and when you do its fine, its actually fun and satisfying to beat them.

In relation to the bugs people complain about - its early access, that's what you sign up for. Duh...

162 hours of gameplay isn't enough to reach the endgame or fully understand the game's mechanics to justify "why not hate this patch". You're not yet qualified to make such comments.

People are leaving. Playercount is dropping. Some even refund. And you think defending this crap with your foul mouth fart makes them change their opinion? Lulz

Another clown :D Mechanics :D :D Build up :D :D Combos :D :D If you have so much skill, lets try it. Come i'll boost you to M+ 10 in Wow, lets see your skill or will boost you to Raiding. Lets see your skill. I'll pay for your game and will pay for the sub. But if you fail - lets say on the first boss, you will pay me 1k euros. If you clear the whole Mythic raid or all of the M+ at 13, i'll give you 2k euro. You will have 3 days to prepare after i boost you. Lets see your skill. Cause nobody has more right.

I fully agree with you, a guy with no hours lecturing people with hundreds of hundreds of hours in the game notice things A LOT better than a kid whose grandma got him this game. I believe those 160 hrs are strictly in Dawn Of The Hunt acts 1 & 2 lol He needs to scroll through the thousands of discussion threads of people with even more hours than me saying how bad this update patch was and then maybe his 2 brain cells with open up and work.

I would like to know if the devs wanted a more strategic game with more combo use to be acquired in game-play, then tell me how can we do that when the monsters are mock 10 running at you? How are you possibly able to do the recommended combos when you have 0 time to utilize thus combos your saying the devs want us to do in the game? Then you have people saying "Its EA whats more do you want from an unfinished game?" Lets see here Jimmy Neutron, Everything was almost perfect and great prior to 0.2 patch, everyone loved how fluent the game was, how we can make builds so crazy, and the leveling was tuned just right. It's an ARPG where its fantasy and you expect crazy dps numbers and fun and wild builds. All they had to do in 0.2 patch was add the new ascendancy classes, endgame changes, crafting, and new character and content. They made this game worse than trying to play Star Citizen thats still in EA for 10 plus years.

You're literally proving my point.

ah yes the elite, the 1 percent who will grind endless end game content endlessly on one character for that 1 to 2% power increase. Hers a news flash, running the same content over and over again for minor optimisations doesn't make you an expert.

The gatekeeping based on hours played never fails to amuse me.
"You don't even have X number of hours, your opinion is irrelevant."
"You got X number of hours out of the game and are still complaining, your opinion is irrelevant."

I don't see where I disagree with you on my original post.
What I see is that you feel targetted by my post, because you evidently have had an emotional outburst at this patch.

Never in my post did I claim otherwise, or the fact that I am better or worse than you.
You decided to deem it as such, which again, as I previously mentioned another poster; youre proving my point.

The point of this post was to target the "toxic" fanbase of this game, which think they're making a difference, believing they have some kind of influence on GGG. If they did, they'd be more transparent about their planning, which they have shown in the past.

The reason why these people are so inherently emotionally dumb, is because they feel targetted by my post, if they managed to think outside the box, and acknowledge the fact that they did have a infantile outburst at this patch, they might've approached this post differently without actually feeling targetted. But alas, they prove my point.

Where am I defending this game exactly? Do you feel targetted by my post because I call out infantile grown up men for believing they have some kind of influence on GGGs decision making? If that's the case, maybe you need to re-evluate my post or expand your literacy a bit.
