Endgame (MAPS) is the most un-fun experience I've had in a long time

[lemstryz]

The 1 shot mechanics in this game is straight up ridiculous and is a 'artificial difficulty' that makes the game unfun. And to make it even worse, the visual clarity of projectiles and abilities from monsters is hands down the worst I have ever seen in a video game. You can barely see the ♥♥♥♥♥ circle on the floor (and its ♥♥♥♥♥ invisible if u have more than 1 person if ur party) with a millisecond to react and if u don't react, you're ♥♥♥♥. Also why TF is the game so zoomed in??? I can't tell you how many times I died from a random 1 shot from a mob that wasn't on my screen...... I wanted to play endgame to have fun but instead I'm constantly stressed out of getting 1 shot and losing my level exp. Not only that but to make matters worse, there are poorly designed elites in this game that are damn near impossible to kill. Why tf are there elites that drain mana AND health if ur near them? Why tf are elites that have tangability (have to be close range to damage), fire underneath them that melts your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ health, AND does insane damage. I want to love and enjoy this game but holy fk man, I feel like I'm wasting my time playing endgame. I genuinely gave this game a fair shot. I followed top arpg player's builds like Raxxanterax, I played EXTRA careful, I crafted really good gear, I tried different builds to make myself tanky (still got 1 shot), and so much more that the average player wouldn't do.

Call it skill issue all you want but I'm willing to on this hill that with the statements I made.

I agree. The one shot 1 death per a map end game stopped me from playing.

Bored at level 71. Tier 2 waystones don't drop. Half the maps I try to run kick me to the login screen. Game is broken.

Feeling the same as well. I'm fine with the game requiring my attention, but a single slip-up and you lose the map? No thanks.
Might just replay the campaign with the other classes I haven't used yet until they change the endgame.

Arent you can craft waystones? Level 2 map should be cheap still. Level 3 still can be bought, level 5 and above is where you really need to sustain the map and with 1 death only it can get very stressful especially if you have no backup maps.

actually 1live in maps is the best change what they could do, finally some challenge and it is really rewarding when you finally manage to kill that boss. About the "issue" keystones not drop, just buy them at vendor dude..

get some gear and stop crying

[SolutionS]

yea the end game seems kinda dumb.

[Revotz]

Its clearly not the game for me, and I've played many isometric arpgs. I don't get the point of one death maps tbh, I want to die, I like dying, and fixing my mistakes. The worst part is that they're baiting a soulslike isometric loot arpg in the campaign, and then they pull the endgame and its the same crap from traditional arpgs. They think they're adding difficulty (which I don't like that they're nerfing btw I like my games hard), but what they're actually doing is adding stupid, frustrating, and time lossing punishment.

Yea after seeing the endgame, I doubt anyone besides the hardest of the hardcore is gonna keep playing. Too bad I doubt the devs is going to change anything since this seems to be their design philosophy with poe2

They're not... Maps is when the real game begins.

ya but thats like saying doing tree missions in D4 is "when the end game starts"...sure...I guess...but like if maps is all PoE 2 is gonna do...thats weak af.

Point im making, we dont actually have PoE 2's end game yet lol Just "the tip"

Oneshot is bad game design. Sounds like endgame sucks for now. Campaign is best part of the game.

Sadly it's also the part nobody will want to play when leagues start.

I think everybody is forgetting one important aspect: The game is in Early Access, and it has only been so for 10 1/2 days as of this posting. I am a long time PoE player with a level 78 character in PoE2 clearing T10+ maps pretty easily, and I have experienced this one shot a few times. It is frustrating, sure, and it has cost me my third set of ascendancy points a few times, but it is also consistent when it happens. It always happens upon the death of a rare, and I am not sure what causes it yet, but GGG will fix it. They are AWESOME at listening to the players and fixing things that really need to be addressed (this is definitely one of them). This will get fixed, just be patient. Again, it is in Early Access. You agreed to play a game that is going to be buggy, have random issues, and in general needs some additional polishing. If you want to play PoE2 without any of the issues, please wait until it actually releases.

Agree with one-shots. Campaign was 9/10, but end game mapping is atrocious. Have max resists, including chaos, but 58% armor with 40% block kills me in T7-8 maps within seconds. At this point I don't believe getting 75% armor would make any difference at all. Even youtubers currently agree this is Path of One-shots. Needs a lot of re balancing.

So much for POE2 being new player friendly. It's only a matter of time before 90% of the newbies quit. Most dont even make it plout Act 1. At least yall gave it a shot. Respect

Once streamers and youtubers lose views those will be gone too.

Some people play to have fun, some play it to make money, while others play to flex.

At the end of the day, it's just a game and many more to come take our attention away. I was hoping this would last until Wilds comes out, but I am 100% burnt out in act 3 cruel with no desire to push into endgame.

Those are purplo flowers you just have to move away from it, but ggg said already that damage will be reduced

It's their "vision" to make the game as unfair and frustrating as it gets

Just managed to finish my 3rd trial, after four tries. It's just rng on rng on rng. I really have a tough char and just got oneshot in some crap in a Ritual I didnt see because the whole screen is littered with gfx junk

At least we get enough waystones.

oh wait...
