My honest opinion after 160 hours
Cons:
  • From what I know about builds, a monk without a bell is a loser that doesn't want to do 50% more damage.
  • Minions without fire skulls and igniters are losers.
  • The entire passive tree is what people laughed about with Diablo 4 - haha +damage haha +stats.
  • The environments are a static diarrhea of "guess if you can walk here" and that you can't break except for vases and barrels.
  • There's no crafting, just casino-crafting or trade crafting where you craft your search request to buy the best gear you can afford.
  • The game constantly crashes during loadscreens and in a crowd of mobs, the FPS drops below 30 (from stable 120+).
  • For a game with "wow, so many builds 2.0" in PoE 2, there are probably about 8 builds FOR END GAME, you can finish the campaign using autoattacks for all I care.
  • You can get stuck in creeps, or you can get creeps that heal each other and can't be killed.
  • You can also one-shot yourself by killing a creep or just by hitting it.
  • The cherry on top is, of course, after such a death, you lose 5% of the experience you've earned over the last 4 business days.
  • There is no need in "identifying" things. Remove it.
  • Aim assist can f-off when i'm using a mouse, monk just refuses to hit the bell.
  • Backtracking in endgame maps is at this stage with no movement abilities:

  • unique items are unique in the sense of being uniquely dogwater

Pros:
  • The sound when loot drops is nice
  • Lootfilter can edit those sounds and you can get stuff displayed on the minimap if you want and have huge pillars of light (i'm using this lootfilter https://github.com/cdrg/cdr-poe2filter)
  • The bosses are interestingly designed with fun attacks, although the monk removes them using a bell in about one and a half seconds, similar to Diablo 4.
  • Particles are pretty.

I'm just amazed at 200 hours in 14 days. Holy guacamole.

Or you can show me where minions do endgame without fire. A monk can be used without the bell if you want to effectively remove about 50% of your DPS.

the game stability is a different topic. if you playing witch arsonist get ready to benchmark your pc. the more arsonist you have the more fps you lose. like you can go down from 120 to 50-60 fps, yet you GPU isn't even 100% busy.

"Probably about 8 builds". Yeah, if you limit yourself to only building according to what a Youtuber tells you is viable. If you're capable of formulating a single independent thought yourself, there are nigh unlimited possibilities.

Frankly your whole post reeks of "a Youtuber told me to think this, so I think this, now I'm angry because I died on trials so I'm going to regurgitate every negative second hand hyperbole onto the forums".

Youtuber told you that the game is good and you can build whatever you want to finish the campaign that becomes easier in cruel acts 1 2 3. Then you get hit with endgame maps and your genius build suddenly is trash.

When ever I read that people are struggling with melee, I think to myself: oh, you haven't discovered tempest bell yet.
The truth has been spoken. There will be people defeding all this negative points, but those people dont want the game to get better, they are made for eating ♥♥♥♥ and enjoying it.

Reaver lol
Before u quote this and request for monk : So, it's useless to speak or tell another build, because when ppl say "show me show me pls ur wrong im best show show show never seen never saw showhowhshowhsowhhsow" we cant change their mind.
Im not ur dad, and unfortunatly i cant play in your place

This game is a disaster I just wish I could get my money back...Its not even worth the hard drive space. No one wants to dodge roll with crap loot that is +1 attribute. This whole thing generated by AI?

Well, maybe at endgame, but it is def not true early game, lot of skills are simply not worth using, started frost sorc as I heard lot of complains about her, after getting further I see where complains are coming from, I do not agree with everything though, like freeze buildup being bad, or that she does no damage.
But after testing things out there is only 1 skill out of 3 frost skills that is actually usable and it is Frost Bomb, Ice Nova just does to low damage to be worst using besides to destroy jars and I see no reason to Frostbolt over weapon auto attack.
So basically you are using auto attack and Frostbomb, I do not find boss fight particularly hard, but it does leave bad taste when rest of cold skills are simply not even worth considering , at least at this point in the game.
Just for BM I saw more then 8 different builds that are all amazing end game set up.
Talking about there's no diveristy in builds is ridiculous.

But yea if ppls just wanna do 1 button click to win then probably just follow what's "meta" and let's complain about things in a 0.1 version of the game where more then 60% of skills are marked with "Coming soon".

I quit at 100 hours, haven’t played in days. I work in robotics and have a lot of free time, but all you say is true.

Game feels dated, illusion of choice and where the F is the dopamine?

1-3 was a slog 1-3 part 2 was the nail in the coffin, end game is a reskin of 1-3 for eternity of slog.

This game reminds me so much of Wolcen it’s not even funny, same type of defenders too.

Remove Tempest Bell and put that damage on other skills then we can't talk diversity. You can hit bell with ice stick or with thunder stick is not diversity lmao.
