TEDIOUS!!!!

I have played 2 characters as far as King of the Mist and then just get ability spammed. The only word that springs to mind right now for POE2 is TEDIOUS.

I really want to like it but its painfully slow! I love Elden Ring, but if I want Elden Ring, guess what I will play?

Player characters movement and attacks are painfully slow and Enemies are overly tanky. There is so much monster variety tightly packed together, you get spammed by 5 different abilities at once, forcing you to just constantly run backwards.

THIS IS JUST TEDIOUS GGG!!!!!!!

Also, whats happened to life flasks, there was bugger all sustain in this game aleady but now feels like life flasks (basically the only way to recover life) are doing nothing?

Game sucks now. The drops are terrible, and the combat is super boring. Regular monsters feel like boss fights and drop white items 99% of the time so you can never get ahead. Are we supposed to grind bosses now to twink our chars before we progress? It really feels that way.

Run into a Life Regen yellow and it heals more then I can dmg it. Managed to get to act 2 and unlock the lich ascendancie which is a joke. Who designed this? AI?

The big bad power you are suppose to unlock makes your character worse. What is with all the "Draw backs" to picking certain passives... like lets give you 30% more dmg, which in the long run is more like 3% dmg. Not to mention it locks you out because it adds energy shield cost to spells (even free non-mana spending weapon skills). Talk about lazy. I thought the D4 dev team didn't care, but GGG - you just set a new bar for not knowing how to design a game.

Seems like the main thing thats been forgotten is that this is meant to be fun. Not a chore!
