I still feel they frontloaded everything vibe wise toward the first Act boss. Teh entire build up is pure kino. Eevrythign afetr that is tame. The cataclysm is pretty dope but act 4 is hilariously lame. Although the water prison is cool and the corrupted chietain fight is sick.

I want claws more than swords, and marauder (juggernaut). I'm pretty happy with the game, but I feel like it could use more skills for the weapon types available. Shapeshifting stuff has been pretty fun too. Overall, comparing PoE2 to PoE1 beta, its much much better, and actually fun to play (1.3k hours in poe 1 since it was 2 acts in beta) I'm excited for when delve comes back, and for fucks sake GGG, if your here make the lords labyrinth return.

>>
>>738349505
No. Honestly, if you don't care about stash tabs you can get a free code to try the beta. Go to /vg/, reddit, discord, whatever. People give out the codes pretty regularly.

If you want to get tabs, you'll probably buy the $30 bundle and you get every class/weapon for free forever cause the game is gonna be straight up f2p in 1.0
>So why spend the $30?
They give you $30 worth of points in it that basically go right into stash tabs. It is """""""""""""""""""free""""""""""""""""""" if you were gonna buy tabs anyways. If not then, yeah, get a free code from someone. I had 2 free ones but I gave them out in 0.1
>>
>>738350556
You really should wait for 0.5 before fully playing it. Definitely get in and mess around just to see if you like WASD or Controller more (I swap depending upon the build).

0.5 is literally remaking the end game which currently sucks. So currently if you play you can probably just enjoy the campaign somewhat, but I wouldn't put serious hours in until 0.5
>>
>>738345090
>the hierarchy of arpgs is about to change!!
No? It is literally the same before this update.

That is it. You play PoE1/2 and then Project Diablo 2 if you're a literal boomer.
>>
>>738350961
They teased the Endgame rework in 0.3 for 0.4
0.4 came and they did not have it ready so they pushed it back to 0.5 but it is now confirmed to be shown off tomorrow.
In 0.2 they also said they were gonna rework the end game but did not commit to it until 0.3

Basically, the mapping system in PoE2 was so bad they knew from the jump it had to get totally replaced.

What's the point of having different "melee" weapons when they all do the same thing, which is make the whole screen explode. That's not melee, there's no theming and no player fantasy, you're not hitting things with your sword so why would you care that you're using a sword? It's not fucking MELEE

>>
>>738352291
You're weird, because PoE2 is solving exactly the issue you have lmao.
In PoE1 weapons are basically flavored stat sticks. Not only can most abilities use multiple weapons, but a lot of abilities have similar ideas of just like, swinging a sword and some kind of thing comes out or hits an enemy or whatever. You know. PoE1 shit.

PoE2 is the game where skills are weapon locked. PoE2 is the game where a mace IS a slow, powerful melee weapon based entirely on smashing enemies or the ground very hard and slowly. Staves are the current elemental melee, with more PoE1 style moves of swinging the staff and lots of fire or ice hitting bad guys. Spears are a hybrid melee/ranged play style with spear throws, dashes, and elemental skills that rely on using frenzy charges.

Basically, the weapons in PoE2 DO play differently. It's weird that you think they don't. People actually are mad about PoE2 locking so many skills to one type of weapon because in PoE1 you basically can use whatever you want with a few small exceptions (Slam builds require axes, maces or staves, you can't use swords or daggers for them).

>>
>>738355532
Maybe it is just because I've been playing PoE1 for like 10 years, but I still don't mind the PoE2 campaign that much. Actually, I'll dare to say it is pretty fun... outside of Act 3 which is still objectively just awful. Can't say why. I have like 4.5k hours in PoE1 and 500 in PoE2 and I still generally just kind of enjoy going through PoE2's campaign.

I think it is because when you play the campaign it feels way more like a real game than maps which are just so fucking bad right now. This rework needs to fix so many things.

tl;dr - They made a last minute pivot to turn the game into using WASD + Mouse instead of just mouse. They had to redesign and reanimate everything to be able to be done while moving.
They decided to go with maces/staves as the first melee weapons and even outright said maces probably should not have been first.

True

I got baited so hard by PoE2's first act, where your actions/dodging etc. kinda matters, and I expected it will expand on trying to be this Diablo/Souls hybrid

Instead, it becomes exactly the same garbage as first game lol, just spam one ability bro

Also, the entire concept of the "endgame" in this is just embarassing

God bless Wicked exists.
>>
>>738363467
You're right. It's not enough. We should add debuffs to every single damage node for maces. Less attack speed multipliers. Reduced attack speed. Minimum animation speed requirements, preventing any shenanigans from taking place.

on d4 you literally have to buy the expansion to get the redesigned class trees. The game is a mess without the expansions now.

It is second act. Really. It is just bad and the final fight arguably the lamest fight in the game with powerfull independent woman cucking you from the victory to do reverse Perseus pose. After this you must wish for joy of act1 to come again, but third act is worse than the first and you feel pretty burned out when you finally go to the act4

So remind me the point of this game again? You download a guide that tells you what to pick and then you pick those things and press the same buttons so you can press those same buttons and your build never changes?

Weird game concept. Seems challenge-less and just a mindless grind.

>>738367369
I fail to understand how someone can feel burned out from playing through the campaign, it's the most interesting part of any ARPG. Act 3 could stand to lose a zone but other than that it's a blast TM, even the interludes were fun.

Frankly if you find yourself burning out after a few hours of gameplay you might need to quit playing video games entirely.

i would've liked poe2 if not for poe already existing.
poe2 took all the rough autistic/fun edges and sanded them off for a wider audience, and i'll always dedpise it for it.

>>738345090
PoE2 will never be as good as PoE since it's designed for controllers and console plebs first and foremost.

>>738367517
a large portion of isometric-arpg enjoyers, including poe1 players, see these types of games as second monitor games where the real gameplay is the trading system at endgame. The campaign as well as combat is the hurdle you need to get out of the way before you can play "the real game" and if you cant dedicate 90% of your attention span to tiktok while you play through the campaign or maps in order ot get your loot then it is a serious design flaw.

NTA but:
ten million ways to do the exact same thing - speedrun while killing a map full of enemies in a second using the same ability that's either an aura or a simple zero cooldown spam

>powerfull independent woman cucking you from the victory
There is a good and pretty interesting lore explanation for it that makes sense, but you literally only know if you decide to actually read the dialogue and talk to her later throughout the act lol, and imagine doing that in an ARPG.

tl;dr - The dude tried to lead a rebellion against the system cause if you're not in a clan you're fucked. He died, and they super duper ultra disrespected him in their culture by leaving his body to rot in the desert. He comes back for vengeance. In the final fight she cuts off his head to give him a warrior's death to try to make peace with the clanless and to make up for a past wrong.
SHE has to cut off his head because she is the current leader and is the one deciding to try to throw a bone to the clanless to avoid this happening again.

The only part that I think is super dumb about it the end of the fight. He... stabs himself? What? The cutscene and then him just standing there waiting for you to talk to her to then cut off his head is so awkward. Just make it so when the fight is done, he collapses down and she gives some speech about giving him a warrior's death then cuts off his head. Right now the little cutscene feels straight up place holder.

not sure how you play seasonal arpgs but the campaign is just a speedy fever dream for day 1 and then the following 400+ hours of the season (the real meat of the game) is endgame.

PoE2 will never be good unless ggg acknowledges they need to gut the problem of all the filler trash being PoE1. imagine Dark Souls but you have dozens of enemies mindlessly charging you at light speed in between "slow & methodical" bosses (which there are also builds that vaporize that enemy at lightspeed instead of having to engage with the fight's mechanics)

agree
and actually finding uniques that change your builds is possible in D4, meanwhile you can play for hundreds of hours in poe1/2 and never organically ssf a build defining unique

d4's uniques also mog poe1/2s uniques pretty hard in how they change things up
>>
Is there a new act this time around or am I skipping again? I only play when they release a new act

Every patch is the same, there's one skill/build that is objectively 100x better than everything else and over 90% of the players use that exact one build.
It's the same in PoE1, which is funny because even in this thread people try and pretend these games are deep and complex.

Anon in both poe1 and poe2 the vast majority of players stops playing a season after just 1-2 weeks... that is after they beat the campaign again.
The "endgame" in these games are so fucking shitty, it's just running the exact same maps over and over and over and over again.

You'd literally have to pay me to play this dogshit.

Also >>738362807 is right and makes me never touch this game ever. Imagine fucking re-grinding the same shit over and over to unlock your abilities so you can play. Actual literal mental retardation.

Nobody besides chinese bots and their bot farms playing this trash anyways. Once it hits f2p you burry it entirely.

A few of the act 3 areas are just annoying to navigate. The spearchucker village with the fire witch boss, the marsh outside the vaal ruin, the vaal ruin, the filthy ziggurat, the past ground-level city all are just a chore to complete and honestly half of it is just the permanent buffs you have to scrape them to get. This is all exacerbated by having to run through it all TWICE before act 4 was added.
Act 2 has a pretty annoying final area and boss, though in that case I feel like it's just a major difficulty spike before a lot of builds come online that makes that part feel annoying.

>>738369251
Don't worry. 1.0 is next.
>How are they gonna finish the game by then?!
They aren't. They are going to finish the campaign, release another class, and probably another mechanic for 1.0
They already said they would release 1.0 without all the classes if necessary.

Now, you may ask yourself
>Okay anon, cool, why did it take them 2 years in EA + like 5 years of development to do this?
The answer is that the 0.1 release was so rushed that it actually might have caused permanent damage to the game if 0.5 does not fix it. However, I actually have some faith that they are because they've shown off teasers for every single league mechanic. If they are actually reworking/remaking the current league mechanics and then reworking the Atlas, game could be saved. Otherwise the issue can be described simply as:
>Rush out 0.1 with a placeholder end game and barely ported PoE1 league mechanics
>So many people buy the EA pack that you pay off the game
>Realize that these people want content, they want updates, and they want them now
>Have to start treating the game like it is released, doing bandaid fixes to all of the fundamentally broken systems in hopes that one day it'll get fixed
Basically if 0.5 isn't their chance to tear down the end game and rebuild it, then it is joever for the game.

>>738368273
Not him but it looks like he's trying to attack you then just fucks up and hits himself like a silly little guy. It's just retarded.

I'm still mad that all the crying from poe1 babies ruined what could have been a great game because they got filtered.
>>
>>738345090

it s unfortunate they made the game to babies even hcssf was braindead last patch

hopefully they add delve or another way to scale difficulty
