Early Access Discussion - A bit of feedback from a big PoE and GGG fan - Forum

I can't continue playing this patch, i've tried my best but i'm not having fun. (even after the changes already made or announced).

Here is my feedback in case it can help improve the game or just make me feel better... this is what I have felt worse:

-Need Build Balances for all Skills/Classes: It's been frustrating playing SSF, watching me struggle to improve my build (ED Lich) and seeing how little damage i did to the bosses, how slow the clear speed was, and how little area I could affect on the map compared to other classes/skills. Comparing my equipment tiers with friends... i took three times longer to clear the map or bosses with much better gear than they have with the Amazon. In fact, with the Amazon, they had bad gear, and it was frustrating to see the difference with my build. Decide if everyone can completely clear screens and melt bosses... or if no one can. Balance... (I personally prefer everyone to be that strong because it's more fun)
- The game time required to play PoE 2: Not all of us are streamers. With this size of maps and such long assignments, the journey feels heavy. The endgame explanation has improved, but not enough. Jumping from core to core for 15+ tiers feels repetitive, and by the time you're five tiers in, it's boring. I finished all those tiers despite the bugs and mob issues because I love the game, but now I feel burned out. Now I have to go from citadel to citadel (which appear further and further away from each other) and use towers, etc., etc., and OMG, how much I miss the scarabs and the old atlas system. In much less time, I was farming league mechanics and Divines to improve my build, which is what I enjoyed. Here, I feel like all of that is so, so far away since I started the campaign, and what used to take me 2-3 days now takes me more than 10...

I'll wait for all these things to be fixed because, again, i love the game and i trust you.

Congratulations to the entire team. It seems like everything is bad because we say what we want to see better, but that's because we trust and love what this game can become. Special mention to the art and animation team because they're doing an incredible job.

I hope you find a way and decide if you want to clear entire screens and speed, or slowness and lots of combos, but please don't do everything at once, because it's frustrating for the less-benefited classes.

I feel most players still on the server feel like you do. They are sticking it out because they are holding on to the time when games were fun instead of dictating what is fun.

Personally seen this too many times and knew full well I would be in your position if I got to endgame. I knew after act 2 it was going to suck.

Generally the thought of cold dread made me say to myself "wait! I hate this fucking game". You shouldn't "dread" playing something wtf? I don't "dread" going to work ffs. I do dread doing 20-25-30 maps when 1 map feels like it takes an hour. I do hate most map layouts also because they are massive mazy bullshit.

Its like you need to get to the top a hill but the hill goes up and up and then it's in the clouds. If I left my cigs at the top and had to go get them I would quit smoking, ain't walking up that mofo ain't not happening never. I quit smoking after act 2.
