The difficulty is an interesting contrast to Path Of Exile 2

[Chiryuu]

Preface - Game definitely needs polishing, but overall it's fun.

But difficulty is an interesting topic - in PoE2 you had to struggle a lot, especially if you were unlucky with drops.
Here it's complete opposit - you don't even need drops, the campaing is that easy.
There is also Diablo 4 which is in the middle, there you still need some drops, but as game showers you with them, it's ultimately pretty easy.
What are your thoughts about it?

I think I would like difficulty to be ramped up a bit... maybe it will in the endgame... who knows :O?

But yeah it's very interesting how the difficulty between different arpg differentiate.

From my experience so far, this is the middle ground, not d4. d4 doesnt have enough build variety nor gameplay variety.

As for difficulty, this games uniques can really be build defining. Ive had multiple uniques that have taken me from 15-60. Difficult ramps in empowered monoliths and corruption.

The game is designed in a way so that any person, with any build, with any combination of skills can get to endgame, but how deep you go into endgame builds start to matter, as it starts challenging homebrew builds.

POE2 is front loaded on that front, where once you reach maps you start blasting, but in LE, youre always blasting after like, level 30, maybe even earlier depending on your rng.

Im blasting since lvl 1 with exactly same skill hahaha :D.
Yeah for me it is easier than Diablo 4, but I guess the experience might differ depending on class? I also tried Acolyte, was much weaker.

As all LE vets know, Lagon will be the true test for your campaign build/gear

Im getting a lot of drops, that I can feel making my character better at low levels. It's hard to tell if my character is actually becoming stronger over time or if it just easy, but at least im getting items that change my character as drops.

It's like a slightly more complex Vampire Survivors and I'm happy with that.

The campaing was always the tutorial in every ARPG, it should be easy. PoE2 is the first ARPG where it's challenging, but that's a totally different game.

PoE 2 is so bad lol. Why anyone plays it is beyond me. Kill some suped up rippy rare mob and get two blues and a wisdom scroll. Seriously screw that game and screw GGG.

Campaign is a waste of time. There's no reason to make it punishing and slow and rippy. It's the tutorial.

[Dopamine]

i wish they would fix the small stuff already. characters facing the wrong way when changing areas is still in the game, sort of a minor gripe but it would take them less than an hour to fix, surely?

[silverbolt1981]

This game make me feel like i am a demi god instead of Poe2 where i feel like a peasant.
I play both of them but as of right know i have more fun with LE.
