Game is way too easy in the beginning

[Pixel]

Feels like I'm playing on easy mode unless there is a difficulty option. I barely knew what I had to do and one skill could smash everything to bits in a few seconds.

Early bosses or whatever they are also don't have a lot of interesting mechanics to dodge or react to at all. I can just spam away in its face a lot of times unless it it does a big aoe for awhile.

yeah the campaign is easy.
2 bosses offer some challenge..

It gets harder in endgame and especially if you go up a lot in corruption in the endgame.
IMO endgame is the main game.. the campaign is just to get to know some skills and form some sort of build for hitting monoliths.

The problem there is there isn't anything that prepares u gear check wise leading up to lagon. Lagon is the games first gear check in the campaign.

Lagon is pretty easy. Been plenty of times iv gotten him down to 1/4 of his HP in the first phase of this fight.

The game has terrible balancing. The first half of the game is stupidly easy and boring. Then you fight Lagon, which is not that hard if you know what you're doing, but if you're a very casual player, it's going to be very frustrating. And besides, he's only hard because he can easily one shot you, which is just artificial difficulty.

Everyone says the "real" game starts after the campaign, but you still have to do the campaign. If the real challenge starts after that, why can't I just skip the campaign? People who get bored in the campaign will leave the game before starting endgame. There's no reason to redo the campaign if you already finished it with another character. This game has many cool things, but it also has so many problems, and the devs don't seem to care about the community. Their priorities are all messed up.

And people wonder why Last Epoch can't crack 2k while Path of Exile 2 has over 500k people playing. The VOCAL MINORITY want an easy game with no challenge. Most people are sick of all of these easy ARPGs (D3, D4, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, Torchlight 1/2/3, ect...).

PoE 2 isn't challenging it's just cheaply designed. If GGG was given the time to make creative boss fights instead of just making them health sinks it would be different. It's just boring among other things as well.

Lets not pretend that POE2 is better than LE at this stage...
It might be in the future, but it sure as hell is not right now..

Well, i find that Viper lady from the third to be both challenging and cheaply designed. Specially when she bugs outside of the shield wall and your attacks can't reach her, but her's actually reach you. And i don't mean any of the parts where she is invulnerable.

I got all the way to the Monoliths so far and doing nothing but holding down RMB with Ignite-Warpath, never struggled with anything. Never even had use the Sigils or activate Aura nor use Volatile Reversal so far either, only Warpath

That does sound brokenly strong.

I've been using the same build! However, I have been using Volatile Reversal since I keep running out of mana.

Getting up to 400 Corruption and beyond, I wonder if we can get a Ward shield going. Warpath has high attack speed, so generating Ward shouldn't be hard. I'll look more into it once I complete 90+ Monoliths.

Punishing =/= difficult

1 shotting in the campaign would actually be a better introduction, given that is how the endgame of LE is designed, might as well get used to it now. With the boots you might have people encounter this earlier, and thus speak up about how poor a design choice it is. Like I said before this design choice turns LE into Touhou, well Touhou if all you had to do was casually walk out of the bad.

"Mechanics" everyone...
