Thought This Was Advertised as sequel to POE?

[Aggressivepillow]

Literally thought this was supposed to be an ARPG where you feel powerful and demolish hordes of enemies. Why am I being two shot by the hedgehogs at the start of the game?

There's is no PvP correct? Then why are they acting so stingy with power? It doesn't say anywhere on the page they changed POE to souls like??

nothing about this game is souls like lol. its 100% the same as every other arpg. souls like you fight 1-4 ai thats design well at a time. in this game they spam brain dead ai that rush you. all you need to do is hold s and spam mouse button. thats not souls like.

How and why did the hedgehogs two shot at me at the start of the game then? Killing zombies and then insta death. Thats souls like, literally

Dude the tunning problems are mainly at end game and pinnacle bosses. Campaign is demanding but build wise. This game is a fun game but not i chill playing while i drink my beer game. Im on act 1 cruel campaign and i demolish everything just as you want. The problem is that i sat about 40 mins and planned around my build. If you pick stuff from passive tree on the fly than you will have misrable experience playing this game. Sadly you need to plan ahead.

Thats a whole other issue, in a PVE game, every build should be viable and fun. All I see is the same 3 builds on Youtube because they are the only thing closest to viable and fun

100% agree...there are way too many unviable endgame builds. All these "I like 5 button slow builds" thinking they are still playing a souls like will get stomped in the highest tier atlas maps. At that point you can either not progress or copy the meta builds.

Yeah remember that. Tried to doge roll spam and died than timed my doge rolls and things went smooth from there. Thats souls like one on one.

And thats exactly what we got.

And that's why I'm enjoying this much more than the first.

Yikes, why would they shoot themselves in the foot like that

They probably wanted to capture a market that is pretty much inexistent right now as far as top down ARPGs.

Normally this is a huge gamble, but they seem to have succeeded entirely with their vision.

Now they manage to keep 2 games alive, one on each market type, completely leading the new market they essentially created (of an ARPG that is more than just a loot pinata).

Personally I didn't quite enjoy PoE1. And I was extremely bored with Diablo 4 and other formulaic ARPGs that just have you going through the motions, never challenging you in any capacity.

About demolishing hordes of enemies - you will get to this eventually. Im currently at lv 62 and its feels more and more like poe 1 as i lvl up and get some better gear. Overall, you just have a harder time im acts if you dont have ok gear and at least usefull nodes for your setup in the tree. Im not quite sure for myself how much i like combo thing, for now its kinda clunky and some combos feel weird, but everything else seems good. I just want them to tune down a bit normal enemies, they can be spongy at times.

It is a continuation of the story for POE but gameplay wise its a return to form for arpgs. Haven't felt this kind of arpg since the D2 days and its glorious. Waited 20 years for this!

You want a mindless power fantasy go play Diablo 4, ya know the real game that promised to be more like Diablo 2 and just ended up doing Diablo 3 again >.<

FromSoftware did not invent the concept of dodge roll in video games. . .

Saying souls like. . .just shows how zoomer like you are.

Hold and spam ? Yeaaaa, it may work for you , but that kills me.
It is dark souls in an arpg universe .
Its got the roll . Roll behind a boss and stab .
Its slow like DS
Mobs in zones reset upon death etc etc

Its a 50 /50 split .. Dark souls / Diablo 2

PoE 2 still garners over 420k concurrent players. Way more successful than PoE1 ever was.
For an PAID early access.

Most people are loving it. If its not for you, its not for you. Thats all good man :3

1 there are more people gaming than 11 years ago.
2 just like poe2 99% of game are trash and people will play anything because there is nothing good.

Okay?!
PoEs last league only had 220k
Not comparing poe a decade ago to poe 2 today. PoE1 not ONCE had that many concurrent players in all of its current lifecycle.

So don't play PoE2 if you don't like it? Don't play games if you hate it that much?

I never understood that logic people have .... or mindeset ...
"Everything about gaming sucks but i still need to game, even tho i don't have fun and all is bad"

Seems much like a you problem >.<

What nonsense :D they always reacted to player feedback.
But there is feedback and there is hate.

People complained about the low amounts of loot that you were getting in Endgame.
They fixed it within a few days.

But "Hurr Durr i hate the game and everything around it" is not exactly feedback.

i think you're just bad
