Dude, I'm just in normal mode campaign

[Weebamf]

Please change difficulty of normal campaign. I have no issue with the game getting harder later on but, I'm in the first run of campaign, why is it so hard? Isn't gaming supposed to be fun?

It's not really hard tho.

It can be frustrating but how I got around it is I created a character of each class, and when I get stuck on one boss, I move on to the next character. Since they are sharing my stash I find equipment for each of the others and store it. Once I pass the boss I play until I get stuck, then play the others. Some characters have an easier time but it really comes down to getting your resistances and equipment up to snuff, skill tree and gem and gem support choices, and learning the boss attacks.

When I finally killed the first act boss with each of them it got easier and easier. It is a deep game and if you are not in a rush, sell or convert what your find, it will be a fun experience. Once I had the gold it was easier to fix mistakes I made in the passive skill tree. Mapping the strongest skills so they were easier to use as combos helped too. You can do it but you have to use the tools available and also get a bit of luck.

Its really not that hard, I dont understand how people are having so much difficulty.
Are ARPG gamers just not good at games?

You are either reaching or trolling, ARPG's are meant to make you slog through a slow yet realistic difficulty until you eventually feel like a god. This feels like I'm at death's door every few minutes. That does not = fun.

Then you're doing something wrong, and that's not a game issue. Something is catastrophically bad with your build. Whether that's your skill choices, your tree choices, or even your gear choices, something has gone horribly wrong, and you're blaming the game instead of trying to fix it.

A game being challenging heightens the fun, overcoming obstacles is fun. Facerolling every moving thing on the screen on the other hand, gets old pretty quick imo

what about this game is not "slow yet realistic difficulty?"

you should always feel at death's door.

there is no real penalty for dying

you dont lose your items

you dont lose exp

all that you lose is hubris.


adapt improvise overcome.

. . .or go online and complain like a modern day gaymer.

no RPG literally means role playing game

and in this game you role play as a weakling at start. . .

The game is designed to be somewhat challenging.

You are exactly the problem with casual gamers. You've offered no insight in to what your problems are, what your build is, you just say "MAKE IT CATER TO ME MORE".

Refund, uninstall, and please don't post here anymore.

The game is incredibly easy if you either get extremely lucky gear drops or you have the knowledge to build coherent and the skill to boss fight. I'm not saying its not hard, but its not 'too hard.' This is unironically, and not meant in a bad way, a skill issue. Poe is for people that are already good at this kind of game. Either go play one of the other thousands of games out there or suck it up and keep honing your skills. Its great that not every game out there is incredibly easy. You guys have the majority of games. Don't try to make ours easy too.
