POE 2 is hell

[Arawn]

Hello,

I just reached Act 3 with my SSF Hunter, Lightning Javelin. Level 33. Classic gaming experience without trading.

I have good resistances, over 50% in every resistance except chaos.

I'm sick of playing this game. Since the Act 2 boss, I'm not having fun anymore...

The slightest yellow enemy, boss, I get a horrible slap in the face.

I came across a monkey boss, he wasn't that hard, but it took me forever to kill him. The slightest scratch, and I die.

Right after, I come across a yellow elite, same thing...

I have very good resistances, I followed the tree to boost my spear, and yet nothing helps... I don't do enough damage. White mobs are okay and blue too, and I'm sick of having to make combos.

As for loot, I don't drop anything; I loot a lot more from merchants. I tried playing, but I'm going to stop. I don't like this game at all.

When I play the campaign mod, I really don't have fun. I looked online for ways to rebuild my tree during the Act 2 boss; it was a little better, but it took me too long to kill him.

I don't want to spend my life on a game that's unbalanced. We're talking about the campaign here...

I'm going to wait until the game comes out of early access.

I honestly understand the negative reviews about this game; it's a real disappointment.

I don't understand GGG's rant. If they want players to go to the endgame, they should make the campaign a little cooler.

Anyway

[NO FATE]

yep)))

At least you still have an account,
On April 3, 2024, I entered the game and couldn't continue playing because I played 10 characters repeatedly
On April 3, 2024, I only stood for 10 minutes and was banned without any prompts
This is not deception, my POE2 account: xthzb#1293
My currency: 3D
My equipment: 1D
My game time: LOL,

This is the part of your journey where people will tell you you're just terrible at the game, or "why didn't you follow xyz extremely specific overpowered build like me", or "your gear sucks, i got a 9000 dps spear in act 1 why didn't you".

Making the campaign feel terrible for everyone who doesn't follow a very specific build or get lucky with drops lends to a truly absymal ARPG experience.

The worst part is, in an interview earlier this week, Jonathan said it's expected you should be able to do most of the campaign with blue gear and just getting your reistances to 0%... how out of touch can you be?

You have to play Bleed or use trade. I don't know.

Personally, I've given up on the witch boss in Act 3. The lack of DPS is absolutely blatant, and the game didn't help me.

I'll come back in a year or two when the game is much better balanced.

I can't do it anymore, though.

I think it's not that bad if you know what you're supposed to do and dont get super extra unlucky with upgrades.
Loot can be rough in SSF sometimes throughout the campaign but a little farming or merchant luck will usually fix that.
In my SSF run through the campaign I only got "stuck" once, on act3 Doryani. My dps had dropped off. I then killed the map leading up to the fight 2 more times and dropped a spear base that turned into an insane weapon. So there are always ways to fix it.
But I see how thats not everyones cup of tea, so trade league is probably best for them.

For bosses I was using Storm Lance + Scattershot with SL on left click and Sniper's Mark on right click; hold down both mouse buttons.

It felt "ok" on bosses, but they were slow to die in a lot of cases like you said, especially the lightning resistant ones. I had my tree 100% into offence as well. Much like you, I don't understand how so many people are just "deleting" bosses instantly.

Take a break for a while and come back,

I don't have a chance anymore
The administrator prohibits a player who is not in the game
The administrator even banned my account without checking my game time

This is my final game record

[Fargard]

Absolutely true, bro.
They just ruined all gameplay in acts. It's not hard or something, it BORING.
You don't have issues with surviving, you have issues with KILLING!
You just rolling and rolling around bosses and rare monsters dealing nearly 0 damage.

Gameplay in acts for now is direct representation of an ancient video "The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon"
