Level 47 Witch Hunter, 89 deaths, SSF, 23 hourse played and the stuff you guys mentioned about crafting or the lack thereof becomes the bane of my existence. I just can't find or make decent stuff. I'm undergeared as fuck. When I then see what I could have had bought were I playing normal trade ... makes me miserable. Unfortunately you can't opt out of SSF either. Starting fresh seems like my only option Brother, I think you have way less death than me in both my ranger(deadeye) or internalist summon, hats of to you. The only thing I got going is I am in the trade league, but I am not trading anything yet, too lazy :S | ||

In theory at higher tiers of difficulty you're getting higher tier rare drops that are close enough to chance with chaos orbs into decent gear. At lower tiers there's nothing; you use what drops or essentially POE1 chaos orb an item and use that. While high tier rare drops can be potentially exciting, the lack of directed crafting options falls pretty flat. POE1 there are different options of getting OK gear (3 mods) initially via early harvest reforge and essences, e.g. reforge chaos on rings or woe on wands/sceptres. In settlers you'd get boats with a bunch of what were essentially high tier rares from the boats. They could add a system where tokens drop and you're able to choose from a selection similar to those so you'd have better luck obtaining usable things, but that doesn't really do anything to improve the lack of crafting. I'm not sure they'd go for this option over just having them drop, though. I miss the essence farm / spam :D When next POE1 league, I need it, lol. POE2 is now I think imo more fun than last time I posted on here speaking about how slow the game feels, and how miserable the boss fight feels. It is more fun now, but it still kind sucks, I like my zoom zoom in POE1 and Torchlight Infinite. | ||

 The campaign is fun and I like the game, but I don't see myself chilling in lategame while rerolling multiple characters in a few weeks of league start like in PoE1. But it will be fun to play it between poe1 leagues and try builds. And it Early Acess, it should improve a lot over time. | ||

Yeah atm my motivation to grind endgame isn't really there. Trying the new classes and skills + doing a HC run will be fun until they update more | ||

I've played a few chars, all kinda low level, but here are some of my impressions: - SRS + arsonists on Infernalist was somewhat similar to PoE1, minions carrying without much skill (or gear) needed. There are a few guides on this - Lightning arrow Deadeye was nice, plenty of damage and fun with WASD. Followed Fubgun's guide - Gas arrow Deadeye also strong, can preload before bosses and nuke their hp. think Ben and Ventrua have some guides for this - went for a mercenary grenade fellow that was meant to be gas - explosion Witch hunter guy. Not bad, but needed a certain play style. - melee/Titan was both fine and frustrating to level. Weapon upgrades were necessary every few levels. - ice strike monk is light and zippy, freezing everything, including bosses, made it somewhat safe, but needs some attention. also, if you play LoL and have Overwolf, they have a thing for PoE2, akin to the trade app. I use it mostly to check dps on weaps and check prices. Some things that annoy me now: - mobs mobbing like crazy in certain areas; - poison being so prevalent and annoying; - not being able to skip cutscenes/dialogue (and having to wait for the boss to tell me an epopee before fighting them again after dieing 2 sec prior) + I understand that GGG are branding PoE as the "spiritual successor" (or something like that) for Diablo, but honestly it feels like playing a clone at times. Areas and mobs being very similar to D2 do not make me appreciate it more, quite the contrary. Oh, look, viper ladies in the desert and blowguns in the jungle... | ||

I am about to get it as soon as possible, I got really busy with family stuff during holidays, hoping it will be fun The DNA & skeleton is strong, but it's definitely a diamond in the rough. The good: The boss fights are 10/10 or even 11/10. I like the slower, more meaty, methodical combat personally. It contrasts greatly with the zoom-y, arcade-y clear-3-screens-ahead style of combat of PoE1. The engine is beautiful and the animations are so damn clean. I personally like the dodge mechanic, but people are so-so about it. The environments are visually stunning, especially in some places. The meh/mid: So far it's pretty hard to gear, because a whole lot less drops, the drops are supposed to be meaningful upgrades but they aren't and the crafting is... different & worse than PoE 1 (so far). You are so much more gear dependent than in PoE 1. The places where you get power should be a mixture of gear + passive tree, but currently it's pretty much only gear (as far as defenses/survivability go). Skill Tree is mostly power. The new way to socket skills is... better I think? But trust me, don't even dream of a 6-link. Maps being only 1 chance to complete, are absolutely brutal. I appreciate the thought behind it, that you have to play safe and slow, but at the same time - random 1-shots still happen, on-death effects are still in the game, you are EXTREMELY reliant on gear for defense. It just clashes with overall ARPG game design. Less than 50% of content in the game. We have 6 classes and 12 ascendencies in game right now. There should be 12 classes and 36 ascendencies total. We are missing axes and swords and more, and their respective skill gems and supports, making build variety very generic and small. The bad: The passive tree is pretty bad. Useless +5 attribute nodes that don't connect to anywhere meaningful, and are just there as roadblocks or transition nodes to other +5 attribute points that DO actually connect to real passives. Also, almost no life/defensive nodes on tree. Pretty much only damage on there. On-death effects still happen, like monster corpses exploding a few seconds after you kill them, so you WILL die to this utter bullshit. The 2 methods of ascending are absolute nightmarish horseshit. I'll french kiss Izaro the next time I play a PoE1 league and lick the floors of the labyrinth clean with my tongue... | ||

Now rolling with lightning monk and it's better. glass cannon kinda because drops are garbo too. Can't get through the duckin ascendency at lvl 25 because luls and mobs. The post about mobs just going crazy is def act 2 in the desert because you run a short ways and every monster on the fuckin map is behind you. DON'T STOP Still, having a good time for the moment. Will keep playing and messing with stuff until Dynasty Warriors or Monster Hunter Wilds drops. | ||
