theeversens8367: fixed a bug when people had fun

noahstambaugh5630: If PoE2 was a vehicle, this update was GGG trying square tires.

Asghaad: I find it funny that theyr solution to "Warrior bad plz buff" was to nerf everything else to be as bad as warrior while buffing mobs ...

nabonidus7: I can see the pain in krip's eyes

korbandallas8931: Kripp wasn't kidding when he called PoE2 Ruthless mode

SinfulGFX: I hate how we had D4 bad, and now we have PoE2 bad.

They pretty much nerfed everyone down to the warriors level. Warriors aren't affected since they've always felt slow to play.

TheBlackSage7: I cant believe that GGG somehow dropped a patch that makes D4 look somewhat appealing.

Schmidteren: YAWN OF THE HUNT

GRamer1356: All the combos you need to kill the white mobs feels like that scene in Indiana Jones with the scimitar guy swinging his sword all flashy for like 10 seconds and Indiana Jones just pulls out a gun and shoots him. This is what POE2 feels like. They can just rush you and ur dead in 3 hits but it takes you 6 seconds to kill them.

wh0reb0t: Yes Kripp it's not hard it's boring. Also, very good point about this being a live service game.

Always enjoy Kripps takes and it's important to get feedback from players like him cuz he's a fan of poverty modes usually.

James-Alai: Soulslike games also don't have 20 fast mobs attacking you all at once

Sir_Waiden: 1000% true. Slow methodical combat works in single player story game that I complete once and never again.

criptomart3352: Even Ruthless players saying the game is too slow... who the fuck tested this patch? Something is really on messed up in GGG right now.

benfarr6049: I had 300 hours in the first season, I have zero interest in making another character, the loot drops are terrible.I ended up just farming currency and buying my gear, that is how they want the game played it seems and its not worth my time

zevmerces: This last minute patch was to stop us from playing Last Epoch this week.

bravexheart7: The sad thing is they made LE delay for this … I’m looking forward to the 17th

FurdTurgeson: Your first review was so spot on and looks even better looking back.. They’re trying to make POE 2 ruthless mode and it sucks.

reallyanotheruser7290: I get the feeling that GGG has become extremely disorganized. Remember them on the Ziggy Podcast "give me a week with the parry mechanic and i make it work"? Dude , you as the game director dont have a week to work on a single mechanic that nobody would use if it wasnt one of the only two ways to generate frenzy charges that the new classes completely hinges on (and it still barely works). Im extremely disappointed, the game could be so good man. It feels like they did the balancing of the skills and then went like "fuck it , theyre gonna break it anyways, lets put a 0.2 multiplier on everything".

I think their ambitions for PoE2 were just WAAAAAYYY too high

Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant: The ABSOLUTE biggest problem with the state of POE2 right now is GGG doubling down on their 'the customer is always right, unless they disagree with us' business model.

sabihrashid252: Man if Kripp isn't enjoying Ruthless style gameplay, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Hope you check out Last Epoch's new season, I predict it'll go down better than the PoE 2 patch...

Ixmaya7: I’m just not having fun with it. There’s just no build variation. The character doesn’t even matter besides for the ascendancy. If you play Warrior, you will be using support gems for fire. That goes for any character that uses that weapon. Cause the weapons are the real “character”.

Ascendency doesn’t matter either. I thought about doing Lich but saw to maximize the ascendancy I’d have to use power charges. No thx.

If you say, want to make a Ranger that uses a hammer, you can’t truly mix them. The weapons skills wouldn’t allow you to make like, a poison hammer build.

You may say, what about support gems?! Sure, you could do a hybrid fire/poison build. But it’d be trash with just gems for poison. And you would have to choose poison synergies on Ranger, or fire skills on Warrior ascendancy. So it will 100% always be better to use the recommended weapon with the recommended class. So have fun. That’s the definition of pigeon holing.

And this goes for every class. Better listen to the few skills on ascendancy that tell you how to play. It is actually brain dead. And probably worse than Diablo 4 at this point yea. Which is really saying something.

lanceandrew1319: "It gets worse in Act II"

Me, having a hard time in Ogham Manor: "....Excuse me?"

MB-ls6zi: I regret putting as much money into the supporter pack as I did. I based it on the gameplay of season 1, and after they got the money from that they completely changed the game apparently to some guy's vision that wasn't listed on the store steam page. Bait and switch.

hectorojeda211: The fact that the ritualist lets you have an extra ring and when you take off the node you still keep the ring tells me this was rushed

prettycool_guy3516: Thanks for not being a shill brother.

InsPoE: Soulslike

Starium514: People said warrior was bad, GGG gave them a patch saying….So sorry, we meant every classe is just as bad!
