What went so wrong?
It turns out, the player base is fucking retarded, so basically if you can't go Mach 10 deleting 15 screens worth of monsters with 1 button that has no cooldown and if the game slows down enough for your brain to even recognise what happens, that means the game is too slow and not fun to actually have to play so cry cry cry cry QQ :((((((Basically this is the gist of it.
releasing half-baked shit for the 20th time in a row
>>7295999140.5 leaked
>>729599914Does armor fucking work yet
>big exploit gets discovered just as the devs go on holiday
>>729599914>What went so wrong?Complete destruction of the player ran economy, entirely of GGG's own doing due to not properly testing their mechanics and realising that people could easily exploit it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVr65B3n79o
Path of Exile 2 is a genuinely abominable game carried by its aesthetics and the belief of the spiritually raped men with no futures that, at some point, the game will become good and the time wasted on this abysmal product will, in fact, have been time well spent.Anyone defending Path of Exile 2 should be summarily executed.
>>729599914Did something go wrong? I am playing it and it seems fun.

the game in its core is fucking dogshit. druid was good but i just stopped playing because killing shit in this game is boring as fuck.
>>729599914is it really that bad
>>729599914Meh. It happens.PoE2 doesn't have a proper end game or currency sink, so the inflation caused by the temple ruined the economy for 0.4We've had PoE economies ruined before. This is all the main benefit and drawback of the league system. We very regularly get new content with new and fresh economies with new things to farm. Most of the time this is fine, but it runs the risk of something like this happening where a league is ruined due to inflation.They'll fix the temple before making it go core, but yeah the actual league is done. At least I'm done, I quit yesterday.
>>729599914Titans Quest is more fun
>>729599914It's a schizophrenic game that attempts to enforce 3 incompatible and contradicting game design directives simultaneously.Its entire premise stands on rejection of THE killer feature of poe that made it the most popular game in history of the genre - absolute freedom to do whatever you want with your character build and mix and match all kind of things, sometimes creating crazy shit. Attempts to force people into "classes" and "archetypes" after what used to be feel like an insult.It is made by resentful and asshurt people who once made an extremely successful game purely by accident, and didn't like it because it wasn't looking like whatever worthless idea guy vomit they were aiming for. Those people are also not that smart.tldr things are very, very bald there.
Tencent shill thread
>>729603770I'm playing through it and it's fine, pretty fun. I can't help but feel the hate is by shizos with thousands of hours.
>>729603643oh i only play hcssf so that doesn't apply to me
>>729600618>people are printing divines so the value of divines goes upque
>>729599914Their refusal to ban exploiters has killed their game
>>729606594People don't know what they're talking about. They just know that they're mad.
>>729604132Chris Baldwin Wilson hasn't been working in GGG for a long time now, retard-friend. Chris would have fixed everything.
>>729599914they didn't rework the endgame like they said they would and new mechanic takes too long and the rewards are kind of buns, though I haven't killed the boss at the end quite yet. I got access to her room but I keep rolling rooms that won't let me connect to the end, another thing that is incredibly annoying because it feels like room slots and placements are entirely arbitrary.
>>729609354Oh fuck off, a few years ago you were crying this dude killed PoE 1.Now its Jonathan, when he retires in a few months it will be Mark.When Mark kills himself you will spend the next 5 years crying about Xiao Zang from tencent for killing PoE 2 Patch 1.12
>>729603770Yep boring slog
>>729599914Im tired of vaal. its only ever been discount D2 act 3
>New league comes out>Streamers begin exploiting bugs immediately>Devs take a week to fix it and don't ban anyone because oops they're free marketing>Devs say they've learned and tell everyone better luck next league>New league comes out...Game is SHIT
>>729610120>Game is SHITGame's management is shit, realistically they could have wiped/deleted the streamers characters/stash and they would keep playing because they're addicts, no need for bans that would forcefully stop them
>>729609354Perhaps, but apparently the baldness seeped so deep into the studio and into his butt buddies who still work here, things are just the same.>Chris would have fixed everythingJust like how he fixed original poe by giving it the 3.15 gender reassignment surgery?
>>729604132why is he *so* bald?
>>729610325as much as i hate stream shill monkeys influence on a game, they're not even 1%, majority of abusers are RMT'rs in russia, philipines and maybe korea who do it even faster and on industrial scale, streamers are just exposing same techniques that they either also stumbled upon themselves or got a leak from someone
Holy shit, the Act 2 Final Boss is hard.
>play werewolf because werewolves are cool>ice fragments take FOREVER to actually start killing stuff and struggle to do maps (I know there's a support to make them explode faster but they won't have much reach if I do so)>try dragon>electric breath vaporizes everything on sightGGG should start nerfing lightning to death and uplifting all other elements. I won't even try the bear because I already had a melee fire build and it was a shitshow.
>>729599914Aw, i thought that was a hairdo. Also gross septum piercing.
>>729610825Jamanra is in a weird spot because at this point you have most of your build skills but player still lacks everything else that should make it work. If it was a Act 3 or 4 boss instead it wouldn't be that hard.
>>729599914They're making it more and more like the first game removing any reason to have made a sequel in the first place. They clearly have no strong vision for what they wanted poe2 to look like.
