FurdTurgeson: Tariffs were only supposed to tank the economy not my DPS

DoctorStrange01: Every Rare is an Elden Ring mini boss :D

25xxfrostxx: "We're going to minmax the fun out of it before it even launches". Joke's on you, there was no fun to remove.

expireddoom: Patch notes were ridiculous from a player perspective.

GGG: "We found out players were having fun, so we fixed that in this patch."

Zutang777: The games not “hard” or “brutal” it’s just slow and boring.

players are 100x slow and enemies are 100x fast.

It’s just bad game design with nothing scaling your power.

Talent trees don’t give you power, it’s all main stat attribute requirements.

The support gems don’t scale your characters power.

The ascendancy’s also don’t scale your characters power.

Items don’t scale your

characters power.

And NOTHING has defense on it.

You have to just get lucky and you get NEGATIVE resistance as you level. So your gear is just worse and worse.

The_Forseti: Brutal equals shit.

bobothebob4716: This is the first GGG update of any kind where I feel like GGG didn't play their own game. Within about 2 hours you can kind of see that it's just not fun. No passives to look forward to. White mobs doing too much dmg, with like triple their old health pool. Lol, I got my Lich ascendency and the keystones actually nerfed my character. LE should have not delayed their update.

TheQoogle: is brutal a new word for bad these days?

SuperLifestream: The difference between brutal an poorly balanced. The fact with in 12 hour they had nerfed HP pools by 25% shows they were only testing endgame with godmode'd in gear. if early game was this bad it could suck so bad when we all start getting to end game.

Big thanks to all the creators for not being vocal and allowing the forum posters to make GGG scared of updating the game cause it "might break their builds." if this was any other game dev company they would be getting shit on

ABC123-u6h: I'm not enjoying it.. not liking the new passives... hating what they did to my Gemling .. (nerf is one thing, total castration is another) .. Think I'm going to take a long break.

airjoshua247: Played for like 45 minutes and realized I rather play no rest for the wicked, since they did the souls like with ARPG angles formula right. POE 2 is not a hard game, but it is a BORING game, maybe on full access it’ll be fun, but by then I’m not gonna be interested.

Thorkou: Played a bit of huntress last night got bored quickly. hopped on my max level lightning monk and got bored. alot of the changes they did dumbed down the game for me.

adiddevil: MOST PATHETIC PATCH IN THE HISTORY OF ARPGS

GrillerGT: I guess this is a good time to stop playing PoE2 for me and let the people who have more time/experience find out which builds can overcome this nerf patch... I'll be waiting until then to re-spec... Tried to start a new character but can't be bothered to play Elden Exile with every white mob

TheBoxNasty: Why is GGG so obsessed with making a punishing and difficult game? Not every game has to be a fromsoftware game

KingDJ524: It's worse than d4

anotheraveragegamerchannel6161: It's genuinely not fun. Nearly 300 hours in before 0.2. And I'm done. Life is too short to play such an unfun punishing slog of game. It will get better, but for now, it's a resounding hell no for me.

arikjenkins3206: I guess im in the minority but I had a fantastic time on act 1 with the huntress. Had a few deaths but nothing crazy. Really enjoyed the pace of combat

wesmaxey7885: Personally I think it being a bit harder is fun. Easy game is boring. If I can watch star trek while I’m playing through the game then whats the point of playing the game??

Ethopiryna: Its season 1 D4 patch all over again.

marzatplay: LE waiting room

caldepen372: Not having POE fun. It is too much of a slog. Bosses and mobs respawning if you die, my chars don't feel powerful, etc. Shlt like that. What are we playing Wizardry IV!?

jamescrook9600: Yeah i stopped it's just not fun to play.

joganaround7630: “Brutal”=“sucks”

Vicoplo: Guys, stop it Ziggyd said there was no problems, so there clearly aren't. Big copium hopes for LE now, hoping it ll do to poe what poe did to blizzard...

gr3atestthink3r86: People are missing that this is not final game is an "early" access, we are the testers not the devs.

zyonhithekel2397: Anyone having performance issues after this horrendous update? My fps was 100~70, now it tanks to 35fps in the slightest screen action...
