There is so much toxic positivity around PoE 2 but i feel its already fading. It was WAAAAY worse since the endgame reveal and a few days into launch, people are a bit more open to criticism now

When Mathil Agrees One portal is bad, nobody will call him out and say "Oh bad player, d4 player, games journalist" but if an average player calls it out or someone without a name they are slaughtered by elitist streamers. I'm glad Mathil is raising this point. Full time streamers don't understand how annoying it is to lose SO much time. Frankly if Mathil a fulltime rich PoE streamer feels a little salty at it, imagine a regular joe.

arpg's are knowledge based games ; not mechanics based games. Unless you believe vampire survivors is a mechanics based game, which is ultimately is a stripped down arpg. . . will the category error have lasting repercussions?

No one has the right to get into your face, its theatening, and the other person has every right to defend themselves. That man had no right to do what he did. They were not shoving their cameras directly into his face they were standing to the side. DJ had the right to push him back from his face, he didnt know what the guy was capable of. They were not doing any crime. They were in public. Also, they dont have to give anyone their personal info unless its the police and they are suspected of a crime. DJ was ran at with a hammer just for filming, is that okay? They are in a public space, they can film in a public space. It isnt nice that people get upset about it, but they still dont have the right to go into their faces, try to grab cameras or attack them. There are some audiors that are aggressive in how they approach people to get a reaction, but i dont see DJ doing that. Also there are people who are actually interested in the buildings they take drone footage of, my uncle being one of them. Im sorry but that man could have stayed in DJs face, and then punched him if he wanted. If DJ hadnt pushed him back then who would be in the wrong then? Its a bad thing he stopped anything else from happening to himself? Anyone would do the same. He didnt know that man, he didnt know if he was going to attack him at any point because people do and have done. Just because he's older, it still dont give him the right to go that close to someone and put his phone in their face.

I was rocking ice nova of frostbolts in poe1 with ridiculous amounts of evasion. I had fortify and mind over matter. T16 and T17 maps with5 scarabs. I was still dying. I love how these new guys are like thinking that they are fine. I stopped playing poe2 the next day. Uninstalled earlier this week since this game will fulfill my expectations in months from now. Like this is obvious for someone with xp but 😂😂😂😂😂. Let them work and do the testing I guess. And it is too slow. I have reactions I just don't have the time to waste.

It's funny, I only played PoE 2 for like 4 hours and had exactly the same problems Kripp is talking about arise in end-game. No matter your class you have to constantly dodge. Maybe some people say this isn't difficulty, but for all I care, I can't be bothered pressing a dodge button every 1.5 seconds despite going all into defenses, when that's just not the playstyle I'm going for. Back to PoE 1 for me

Tell me you're a diablo player without telling me you're a diabolo player...

dude if you liked poe 1 because it helped you shut your brain off, then just play poe 1.

I cannot WAIT to watch asmongold try to justify the dogshit mapping system. Everything he hates about D4 when it comes to one shots, not clear ground aoe attacks, on death effects and off screen snipes (or in PoE2, snipes from the darkness as well). Let's see how he backpeddles this time around.

I agree that difficulty have problems. Too easy is boring while too challenging is frustating. The ideal a middle term where you have just a small amount of challenge. PoE 2 is too far in challenging scale making it frustating. The ideal is a middle ground with just a small amount of challenge.

It’s supposed to be completely different from POE1, that’s why they said they’re still going to support the first game. If it’s not for you, don’t play it. Don’t try and change it to the first game

I 100% agree with everything you said!

Nah.

ive never heard someone give a review of halo by playing the first chapter of the campaign. but that's what's happening. tons of ... people? giving what they believe to be valid input. after playing the equivalent of the first chapter of halo

You did everything. In POE 1. PoE 1 is a time sink and knowleadge sink. This is a you need hands besides that thing.

I legit just deleted like 20 paragraphs of text pretty much glazzing you and explaining how and why j agree with legit everything you said in this video. Ill just keep it short and simple- im greatfull there are strong people still in this world that are not sheep and will speak there mind. I couldnt have said what ive been feeling these last few days any better then what you just put fourth. Thanks for taking the time to put your opinion out there, i really appreciated it.

poe 2 is a game for maybe 2 leagues to play no one will grind thiscrap every league playing ruthless mod with rolling 5 times and using skill 1 time

I really like your point on coming home from work, having played on one char for many, many hours, and you probably have capped res, good defences etc., and you still have to rely on dodge roll. What I like in PoE1 is, that the progression leveling feels great and that when you reach end game and have invested a lot of currency into your build, most content in PoE1 is trivial. These two things are missing by a lot in PoE2. Sure it's EA, but they're FAR from getting to the good feeling from PoE2.

This is not POE2, this is early access to POE2. That is what early access is for. Dont blame but try to give suggestions... they listen to you. They listened already you have 0 chactersize now and roll through map without problems

Why y’all want this to be Poe 1 2.0 with a graphic update. Blasting through maps like you said “Turning off my brain with music playing”. Just play Poe 1 if you really feel this way about the game Poe 1 servers is still up and gonna still have a dedicated team bringing content to it. Poe 2 isn’t as equal to Poe 1 they’ve said it’s gonna be a difference experience. So I’ll say what most people need to hear. Every game is not for every body.

I think the great divide between players who have played the first game and players who didn't play the first game is knowledge about importance; for instance, when I say "My gear is weak", a new player might look at my set up and say "You got 23% fire res and 4 life on hit glove, that's fantastic!", but in reality, I know it doesn't do fuck all, it's a low roll, it's one resistance, the life on hit will never bring me value, and I can't get other mods on that particular helmet now, the glove is already BRICKED, and it's still the best shit I have and it's the reason I'm suffering! I can peer into the future of me getting folded in half wearing that piece of equipment, a new player enjoys the game because of blissful ignorance, I suffer from dark experience and knowledge.

"I have to ask myself: Do I think this game is fun? If I had never played Path of Exile 1 and this is my experience of playing the campaign, would I carry on playing the game? I don't believe I would." This isn't poe1, if you don't enjoy the campaign, what makes you think you're going to enjoy the endgame? I have 5k hours in 1, but it's very clear to me that the campaign is a completely different beast, and way more representative of the game as a whole (because it is most of the whole at the moment!). I respect that the whole 'its ea what did you expect' defense is tired, but that doesn't mean that all criticism is valid either. Despite what you seem to think, your vision of what you expected the game to be and what you want the game to evolve into is completely different than GGG's and the new player bases vision, and if you don't find it fun, then that's okay. Maybe someday poe1 will have a worthy rival, but as it stands, 2 is different enough to stand alone, as that is by design.

Imagine you get the charge per second on that augment :D but you were confident about the outcome which proves your point about the game. I genuinely have the same take about this game. Playing ranger so pretty much the same but different flavour ice-cream .

i think what you want is just poe but graphics update. Which isnt wrong, but idt thats what GGG wants. I hope they draw a clear line between poe 1 and 2. I dont know what the plan is for poe 2, but i sure as hell hope it doesnt become poe 1 with better graphics.

Dude basically wants to play PoE 1...

Best analysis yet

I think everything you said in this video is very valid, especially that you distinguish between the game's difficulty (good thing) and it's sometimes tedious and painful gameplay loop (not a good thing). Everyone in the comments saying skill issue didn't understand your issue with the game, we ALL want this game to be good, ALL critiques can lead to a better product.

I agree totally!! You made good points. 👍 I am still trying to play cause i'm bored atm, but tbh I will be a happy man as soon as LE or POE1 gets new content.

The game shouldn't be mind numbing yes we want to feel strong but we want some difficulty too. I do think though we should get alot cheaper respecs in early access or for free as we all just want to test things and if they change alot of aspects of a build we should be able to switch easier.

So for ur complaints as far as rn.. in the Poe2 we’re still missing a lot of support gems and skill gems form 6 other classes to choose from so there may be some other shit like blood rage and lighting shield or some nutty shit u can pick from and the campaign will get easier once the game is out and ppl find the best routes and builds to blast thru it no problem.. my only complaint big complaint is the passive tree right now it’s so fuckn bland and generic af that once u figure it out there is nothing to it. And I think they could of made some of the skill gems more interesting like arc should chain 5 times off rip ball lighting should get aoe and zap frequency the higher it goes exct contagion should be a small aoe and as the gem levels its aoe get bigger or when it pops the aoe is gets bigger essence drain should automatically pierce build into the skill idk the flow of the game seems off the ranger poison skills are like the most boring bland shit ever where’s scourge arrow where’s caustic arrow acid arrow why does the evade shot thing have to be a ice skill? I feel like the game is missing 30 starter gem skills for evey class will see on launch I guess.. I want more options at lvl 1 other then poison arrow or lighting arrow having to wait till 24 or 32 or some shit for anything else jsut feels bad.. then by that time ur locked in on one of the two starting skills or u have to punishing urself waiting on applying ur passives or suffer a respec and be broke shit needs more skills gems at lvl1

I'm just not having fun with the game. Its not a difficulty thing. I just don't like the gameplay and find it boring. Find it slow and I hate having to dodge all the time. I wish there was a hybrid between D4 and POE 2. I like the gameplay of D4 but I like the difficultly and depth of POE 2. Overall...I had more fun playing D4 season 5. Please dont hate me

Poe1 for a experienced player usually has about 2 weeks of clapping then it falls off into meta crafting and juicing maps and hustling the trade board so u can craft all ur gear the game part of the game was over once u had map completion the rest is micromanagement to one shot pinnacle bosses with no purpose other then u did it in 1 1000th of a second any game with out balanced PvP or a reason to actually get better and be the best you have no task n purpose other then to exist in the game .. reason why Diablo2 hung around for 25 years is cuz u dont have to play evey season cuz u can build PvP character and earn ur place in the game with trophy items and it shows in PvP ..that’s why d3 was fun for what it was u had a goal task n purpose clap cheeks see yourself on the leaderboard.. d2 mf and PvP.. poe1 and d4 suffer from the same shit now poe2 will fall into that what’s the point category

Agreed there are some issues...the gems need to be altered they sre too locked down....id rather level them ...and we need more universally useable ones ..... pacing is also off for mapping agreed.....and i want to be able to make a build that feels powerful by end game or why did i just put in All the time and effort where is my payoff

if it's not fun means it's NOT FUN. U ARE JUST TRYING TO DEFEND THE GAME LIKE A SPINELESS FANBOY

no there's only 1 build called grenadier and you can only walk in this game. d4 better

If your argument is, people wanna play braindead builds and that is why POE1 got popular, then why is the early access for POE2 retaining double the player amount POE1 had to build up to?

Still watching your video, you completely play the game wrong. You use a loot filter and leave all blues on the floor yet those are super valuable in POE2. all my bis items started as blues. Check vendors and roll blues and you will realise that getting strong items is easy af.

Never played poe1 but i am a hc d2 player. This game gives a lot of d2 vibes but also is missing a lot of what makes d2 fun. The crafting system feels a lot like d3 itemasation which I disliked. You just want rares with certain mods and that's all. I don't know why it's so hard to replicate the feeling of d2 itemization (which was not perfect either but much better). We there are no set items, no crafting where you can actually get a full item instead of 1 mod at a time on top of a rare item, no rune words..

I strongly disagree with your take, why play a game where you do not do anything remotely challenging. POE2 is so much better then 1 because you need to think before engaging mobs. You cannot just plough through everything. It makes you really feel powerful when you eventually can do that and it makes it a lot more rewarding. I really hope they do not change direction. Theres tons of easy games out there. go play those. As for your complaints about build variety. the game is in EA, its not even released. Ofcourse you cannot do as much as in POE1 with 10 year of deving. Your such a doomer man. So little faith in the devs that have constantly proven they are capable devs. Give it time.

People in the comments still playing the campaign need to realize that campaign gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with the mapping endgame, except for the absurdly and comically large maps. Mapping in PoE2 is tiring and boring. Your eyes are glued to the edge of the screen, because THE ONLY hazard in high tiers are ANY mob types that have a charge or shoot projectiles. Those enemies hitting you from OFFSCREEN at any point in the map, while a map takes legit 7-10 minutes is just absolutely horrible gameplay. Unique "bosses" are a fucking joke in this game. While they look cool in a campaign context, in maps they are just a free loot pinata. Now I didn't expect anything for this EA, but they should have postponed the release until more skill gems are finished. The current selection is way too small for any combinatorics to matter and you can easily see that legit every (weapon) class boils down to a singular build and playstyle. Also fully agree that the new gem system is in every way inferior to PoE1's gem system.

I remember when people gavbe d4 shit for not being able to see ground effects but hell playing a infernalist minion witch, I can't see shit on the ground half the time lmao.

Damn is that your build? no wonder you arent having fun, just hang in there buddy, soon maxroll will have builds you can use "to blast maps" ;)

I dont agree with you at all. You talk about the game being immensley difficult, and yeh its more difficult that normal arpgs. My first character it took me some tries, now my second character, a monk which is relatively weak early game compared to ranged for example, im just blasting through everything, because i know the mechanics, i know what gear to pick up, check the vendors etc so the 3 month cycle wont be a problem down the line.

i feel like people are overselling the game, the combat on my sorc felt so boring

Just go play Poe1 then or other mindless ARPGs while listening to music/podcasts. What's the point of them just making that game again? We already had that for YEARS. I love the direction they took of PoE2. I'm so done with the Poe1/Diablo formula.

Ngl yall just kind of suck. Builds are blasting and mapping just fine its a monumental skissue on your part, and i a was a huge hater day 1, but then i got good
