GGG Pandering to the top .5% on this one.

[paynimo83]

So is it me or are they just catering to the no lifers and streamers? All mobs seem tanky as hell...not saying they should be super easy but atleast make it doable. Alot of the player base isnt GigaChads who are grinding 12-16hrs a day. I like the Gem setups but the whole thing is very vague. I get that its EA but for how they hyped this game it really fell short out the gate. Only bright spot is you keep you stash tabs

[donut32]

yes this game is designed for the unemployed. casuals will shelf this by end of dec

Guess it's not for you then. Unfortunately there are no other games in the world you can play!

[Rumple]

If they don't turn it down, it will end up being a niche game with very few players, not good for a F2P game that relies on MTX

Why did the casuals buy this access, if they didt know what it was about? blind hype?

[😎Astran😾]

They are focused on the 0.5% unemployed teenagers from what I see. For me PoE2 has initialized multiple cosmetics purchases in other games, it made me understand better how comfortable they are compared to his nerf-fest

[FleshyBB]

No, they're just not catering to the visitors.

Streamer/Youtuber effect. A bunch of big names hyped the game up like hell, even though most of them won't stick around after a month or less.

[Decidedly Uncouth]

GGG is just another big tech corporation trying to land the no life whales, give them a false sense of satisfaction, and milk them for all they have. GGG does not care about putting out an accessible, quality game that can be enjoyed by all.

Tbf compared to PoE 1 or even D3/4, mobs have almost no hp and it doesn't scale much.
Dmg tho ... holy craaaaaaap

But no mobs don't have that much hp except during campaign act 2 and 3 ok i agree you need to know what kind of gear you must have to improve and grind a bit but once that part is past it's okay

God I cant wait until all the streamer bandwagoners move on

Once the streamer bandwagon move on - Tencent will declare GGG's bankruptcy. PoE2 was their last ditch effort after Diablo 4 release has devoured 40% of their their income in 2o23

If you have to have the highest power the game offers, then no it's not for you if you don't have a lot of time. But that problem is on your own psyche. You shouldn't need to be at the spearhead of power at all times in every game.

I haven't been this upset with a company in years! I said some curse words in chat (admit I probably shouldn't have) but have cussed in all sorts of games and MOST of them will not ban for it. Well.. this game did! Not only that, I emailed support 4 days ago and have received absolutely ZERO update as to how long the ban is. 24 hours? 48 hours? A week? Two weeks? Surely not a month?! Or could my ban actually be permanent for something as petty as saying the F word a few times and joining along with others in chat by engaging in dark humor fun? It specifically says "YOUR ACCOUNT IS LOCKED, PLEASE CONTACT SUPPORT" and yet they provide you with no information as to how to reach support. No big deal.. I'll just do a quick lil Google search to figure it out. Everything on Google shows an email that I'm supposed to contact in order to address bans. Zero response! Absolutely NOTHING! I'm not mad about the fact of being banned.. I'm mad about the fact of being left completely in the dark! I'm also mad for the tons of people that have apparently got banned for simply reaching level 40! There are dozens and dozens of posts from people that got banned for reaching level 40 and they've gone DAYS without any response or help from support. What in the ACTUAL F is going on with this company?! They are openly committing fraud!

That's crazy, I never played PoE before this and I'm a huge D4 fan, and I'm absolutely loving this.
You just sound mad. Sounds like a skill issue.
