Please stop making everything more difficult.

I just want to enjoy the game, but it feels like this obsession with difficult boss fights is getting in the way. I'm having a lot less fun this season and TBH don't have the motivation to continue.

I dislike this season for the same reasons I dislike Dark Souls- I don't want my gaming sessions to be a struggle. Please don't forget about the people who just want to relax and kill monsters with their weird builds.

Then go and play D4. I mean really. Let difficult game to be difficult (even if PoE 2 is not difficult at all lol).

You don't post on dark souls forums and demand lower difficulty so why are you doing this here?

Because he is simply disappointed with the difficulty level. Just like me. I played POE 1 for sooo many hours. Yet I'm not a pro gramer. I just play casually. Trade here and there a cheap 6-link or some other important item for the build. The rest is selffound.
I bought POE 2 day one and played for only 59 hours. My highest character is lvl 45 and in act 3. It feels impossible to play with my playstyle. To do any kind of useful damage against the bosses, I bought cheap, slightly better rare weapons with the few currency I found. Every boss fight is so tough and annoying. Even with enemies whose tactics you can see through, the fight drags on for so long that I run out of healing potion after a while. Of course there are also bosses that kill me often enough.
I don't expect to be able to moonwalk through the campaign, but it should still be relatively good doable. How do you expect to win over a larger (!) number of new players in the long (!) term?
The difficulty level can be scaled via the map levels in the lategame, as in the first part.
I played POE 1 for so long that I was happily awaiting the new content in POE 2.

And: The constant need of pressing the space bar for dodge doesn't make the game any better. In my opinion, a completely unnecessary new feature.
I'm not going to uninstall the game yet, because I'm not giving up hope of an improvement of the difficulty, but I won't play POE 2 for the time beeing.

That's just my opinion. If you don't like it, that's your opinion.

how difficult is the game, really? If you fail a boss encounter you respawn right beside it and get to try again. pretty much all of them can be tanked if you figure out what type of damage they do and you max out that resistance. upgrade your flasks and armour, learn the boss mechanics. Theres only a couple sections of the campaign that seem kind of unbalanced right now, like towards the end of act II

The game was fine when released, then it got easier and easier and easier.
This is no longer any fun just mindlessly pushing a button without looking at the screen.

Just take a look at players active RIGHT NOW:
PoE 1 - 5k players online
PoE 2 - 61k players online

Both games are up and running. PoE 1 with its fast movement, blowing things up without even looking at them, go ahead. But obviously, players enjoy something else.

If anything, difficulty should be increased and top builds nerfed to the fucking ground.

Check any build video on YT and you will see how "hard" this game now is. We are not so far from PoE 1 playstyle, aka "playing the minimap" not even looking at the screen.

Bosses are only hard until you learn their strategy. If you can't figure it out yourself there is plenty of videos on youtube.

OP, the only difficulty you could say was increased is the amount of time it takes to kill monsters and bosses. That's pretty much all they did, nerfed players and buffed monsters. I personally use the words "tedious" and "boring" instead, to describe combat

Edit: Although it makes more sense if you meant that some bosses are way over tuned. Bosses shouldn't be one shotting us so often, it's annoying. Bosses shouldn't be so extremely powerful in Act 1 and even 2. They scare away new players by making the game so difficult without any mercy.

Wait, you really DID THE THING? You really just compared the player numbers from PoE1 which hasn't seen a new league for almost a year now to PoE2 which just had 0.2 released not even a month ago?
