Thank you Jonathon for at least trying.

I am curious how "streamers ruin games"?

legacy POE streamers, you know those guys not being paid by GGG, have logged tens of thousands of hours each and know the mechanics by heart better than anyone working at GGG. These guys have probably spent more time than this theory crafting to promote POE to hype the community to play the game before every season. What a bunch of douchbags right? How dare they!!

I only turn to streamers when I hit a wall or to see what the best spectre is or something like that. I do this to save time. I have an idea of a build, I try it, mix it up and try different things. If at that point I am struggling will turn to streamers to see what I am missing, if anything.

Normally my builds are good enough to hit mid tier maps regardless of what I choose. But During this time I have earned enough currency to work on my main build so the next campaign run takes 75% less time.

Now with 0.2 there are 2 builds, not OP in any sense of the word. These are barely on the cusp of needing buffs themselves. They are "working builds" to varying degrees but in no way a normal meta. They are the best of the worst.

The GIT GUD crowd launching their gaslight psy-op to make people believe there is a vast gameplay depth in this slog of a game . You wish lmao

I think that GGG have done well to put the effort into fixing issues that have arisen but I can’t help think that they brought it on themselves. I love PoE2 and hope it keeps a slower game style. I just hope they don’t rush out the next patch in order to bully the competition, as it’s certainly got a lot of gamers backs up! Hopefully this will humble GGG and realise that the smaller companies like Eleventh Hour Games (Last Epoch) have a firm following and they should respect them a lot more than they did by forcing them to move their release date! We don’t like bullies so let’s hope that they take note for next time! 🤗

majority of people play ARPG-s as comfort food .

as a power loot fantasy , to vent their frustration and have fun.

and you want the game to be more stressful , you and jonathan .

Go play souls games or hardcore survival games . that is what you are looking for anyway .

there will always be backlash and pushback all the way until the game is a pure power fantasy , and every time they say no and they dont agree ,

game will get more and more negative reviews .
if they want to keep it up , they gonna be left in poe2 with a few thousand souls players and nothing else (until the next hot souls comes around)

then its GG for PoE2.

GGG : dont let them ruin the future of the game , give us what majority is asking for .

It hi k that the future of the game is good and I don’t think what you call “Souls like” is a stressful gaming experience. I find I’m able to relax a lot more playing a game that’s engaging and has a challenge. Walking simulator 2025 isn’t needed as you have that in so many other ARPGs and they all feel the same, so why create another? PoE2 is a breath of fresh air imho. Sure it has its issues but I don’t think any of them is because of slower combat. I would be adverse to making it even slow, just need a bit more exp for kills though as the levelling progress feels like it takes ages to level atm.
