Steam Ratings down to mixed, Streamers obliterating 0.2.0

So, As you can see in the title, the Steam Ratings for POE 2, as of now, are at 58%, and consistently falling further.
Now, if you tell me that is because people need to 'git gud', let me tell you, 0.1.0 was also hard, and people rated it close to 90.

This game is no longer hard. It is tedious, slow and boring.

Literally every Streamer has either already stopped playing, or are saying things like 'The worst POE Experience i ever had.' (Zizarin).

I absolutely dont think this crapfest was tested before you released it.

If you DID, and if THAT is where this game is supposed to go to, let us know, so i wont waste any further time of my life into this torture.

I 100 percent agree with this and why was my first spear to drop after the starting one at level 12. like why take 12 levels to get any weapons wth?

You know you can buy a spear from the vendors the moment you enter town for the first time, right? Right???

honestly i'd give poe2 a negative review on steam just because im STILL waiting to hear back from GGG support on linking my account to my steam account.

i first emailed support December 6th 2024. got a reply December 15th saying they can help and asking for more information. replied 13 hrs later so Dec 16th.
then had to wait until January 26th for another reply from support. again asking for more information.
i provided it and kindly asked for it to not take over a month for another reply, annnnnnnd i haven't gotten another reply yet.

January 26th, its currently April 5th and still waiting.

i haven't sent another email because they say not to or else you drop back in queue.

its completely bullshit and on that principle alone they'd get a negative review from me even if i clocked in 10,000 hrs of this game (like i have in poe1) and loved it.

I definitely can see there is some charge reverting and buffs that need to be done... it's a process and I'm not gonna give them a negative review because I know what I signed up for when I got my early access given to me.

Still think it's a good game, just needs tweaking and more content, which will come in time.

got a great rare spear from finn, got a legendary staff from Lachlann which i beat first try with my first huntress, no plan, not a no life poe player, game has only challenged me with the new spirit elites.

Every other death has been my fault or my glass defensive gear.

If you are struggling to play to this point, you are playing wrong, you are not using MF on gear.

Been the fastest and easiest run through act one so far since launch. No boss has been a challenge so far which is actually disappointing for me, since i prefer the souls like boss encounters that kick my butt if i am not able and well geared and need to go hunt better gear and break their armour or so on.

Haven't had to do that once so far.



Streamers, are they special? I could care less about how they rate a video game I enjoy. Not into sheep life tbh, don't need a kid on the internet to tell me what is good and bad lmao.

Why would people think they will revert anything? They already nerfed a "bug" with twisters so those builds are done.
