Patch 0.1.1 for POE 2 is very reassuring but...

[@Noobodytest]

Great patch but to me the major problem I still see is the barrier too entry for new player/Casual, act 1 in normal is way too hard in my opinion and the more you progress into the game the easier it becomes. Also path of trade is a bit annoying for new player versus a standard selling hub IG. They did a good step with currency exchange but a step further cannot harm.

I would say it should not be casual friendly in the way of how easy it is. Casual doesn't mean empty and it was never the target group which was mentioned many times. Even from financial aspect 10 whales are paying more than 100k of casual players so no point of going casual way.

They will never put an auction house in the game because of the vision.

[@motherpigeon1582]

ALso because of the past in the other games like d3 or LE.

@@motherpigeon1582 maybe but then to my pov it is a entry barriere for new player. So many of my friend new to poe hate that external site

[@motherpigeon1582]

@ I understand the point, and I'm not saying it is bad but if it is the thing that stops your friends from playing aka simple opening of the web-browser then there will be more pain for them in the endgame so no point of starting.

[@Noobodytest]

@ i agree but then in the end this is barrier to entry that stopping certain players

[@motherpigeon1582]

@ Indeed but everyone was never intended target group and honestly never should be.
