GGG is absolutely cooked. Blizzard 2.0

for reals

it's crazy how PoE2 basically shattered years of confidence and trust in a matter of months

Rue cat and the areas in the past are complete ass dogshit. Too large and no direction where to go, and full of looping ass corridors. Please fix.

Imo GGG should just:
1. Shrink maps by 50-70% (act 2, 3 & endgame). Act1 should be considered a good example.
2. Buff loot during the campaign by 2-3x, including orbs. Probably in maps as well.
3. Decrease pack sizes by up to 40-50%.
4. Slow monsters down by 5-25%, depending on monster type.

The problem is not the difficulty.

It´s the tediousness of huge maze like maps.
It´s no loot dropping.
It´s a content update without changing the core issues of 0.1.

There is no sense of progression.

"Large Area Sizes"?

This is S-tier gaslighting by GGG and its un-fucking-believable.

Could it be that IT'S a SPEED issue? Like the speed we move at, the speed enemies move at, action speed, scaling speed of any flavor literally any amount? You wanna know why people hate playing this fucking game rn? Its all the reason you pussied out on actually saying in this quote right here. The REAL reasons areas feel daunting and miserable. Unbelievable.

People got mad at me for calling Jonathan out for being smarmy and snark with his commentary but unless he changes, this game is in big trouble. If he can't meet people halfway on the things that literally make POE what is POE, then well good luck.

People have been voicing concerns since the closed Alpha+Beta testing sessions about the pace of the game, the speed at which you move in the game, the monster action speed and skill speed, and the loot drops. Look at where we are now... INCREASE THE LOOT DROPS, WE DON'T WANT TO PLAY RUTHLESS. LITERALLY NOONE PLAYS THIS MODE FOR A REASON. Unless Jonathan and the team is willing to swallow their pride, the game isn't going to get any better.

Trash mobs should just be trash mobs, white mobs behaving like this, moving at this speed, in the literal FIRST ZONE, where wolves can 0-100 you, is INSANE. You better hope you get lucky at the vendor with some movespeed boots or you can just get absolutely annihilated.

Every single death I have in the game is just ridiculous crowd control, getting chain stunned over and over and over. Like what is this slop? Seriously, what possessed you to add MORE stun into the game? Who thought this was a good idea?

If I don't hear some good answers from Jonathan tomorrow on Ziz's podcast, I'm out. Actually, is Jonathan even playing his own game at this point, because what's becoming clear is that maybe he isn't, and that's why he's so out of touch with everyone. He talked about leveling minions in campaign with Ghazzy on their Tavern Talk, and look at how badly minions were tuned. What version of the game was he playing, because I wasn't playing that same version he highlighted.

I desperately want to play and have fun, but this game doesn't allow for that. Unfortunately I no longer have faith it will get better, until it does, good luck exiles.

On the surface it is what it is. If you guys have a different vision for what you want Poe2 to be like, so be it. You guys are welcome to do what you want and develop what you want.

But when I dig deeper and realize this is what is gonna end up killing poe 1? Nah I can't do that.

This is what we're getting after you pull resources away from poe 1? It's sad man. I'm disappointed.

17 hours into the game, and I've had two exalted drops, and two orbs of alchemy.

Thats all. No uniques.

This isn't even ruthless, it's worse.
Do you guys know what good ARPGS have? LOOT!

Increase the damn drop rates by about 1000%, and I might be interested.

I just don't even wanna go into details as to how out of touch with the game's condition and the community this post is. PoE 2 in 0.2 patch is a GARBAGE. Period.

Crazy how the areas being too large has nothing to do with the fact that the areas are indeed too large
