Your thoughts?
I did the first 3 acts… and when it looped back to act 1, I just lost all interest. I had fun until then. But doing Act 1, 2, 3 and then Act NG+ 1, 2, 3 to get to end game… I’m good. I got other things to play.
Haven’t played in quite a while. The areas of the campaign are too big for how slow the gameplay is.
I like the idea to make combat more meaningful than the clear speed meta of PoE 1. But at the moment it doesn’t feel like PoE 2 is working well enough with this new direction. Boss fights are pretty neat though.
The team behind PoE isn’t expecting the game to be 24/7 grindfest that you never stop playing. They want it to be Patch Release -> 2 months of players interested -> Falloff -> Patch Release.
They said they are fine with this, and expect other people to play other games.
That was the strategy with Path of Exile since the 3 month leagues were introduced. Though dropoff seems to come a lot earlier and far steeper than they hoped for it seems.
Good, given the dev’s ban threats against modding as trivial as ReShade.
I’m waiting for full release at this point.
