Path of Exile 2

Been playing Monk this morning and they have made huge improvements in the early levels for Monk. Whereas most people would struggle until they got Ice Strike im literally destroying everything via Glacial Cascade and Quarterstaff Strike. Just killed that old man in the graveyard that turns into a monster within 30 seconds where usually that fight lasts like 3 minutes +
 
Minions still aren't grabbing me, they still feel a bit too slow to use at times, some of the spectres are good but I've already played through using the best ones. The experience is much better now though as I got to act 4 using them exclusively, without needing to spam raging spirits every encounter.

I started a Warrior in the meantime for the big armour and pops, feels decent so far, again much a better experience through the first couple of acts.

just didn't feel it this time around. Put 4 hours so so in on launch night to clear Act 1 and some of act 2, went to be not feeling anything and haven't bothered going back on.

I'm the opposite - finding it much better than version 0.2 which was atrocious. But then, I'm playing a Ranger which is in a good state balance wise.
 
as a self confessed POE 1 addict im still not feeling 2. It is definately getting better though, skipped 0.2 but in 0.3 crafting is in way better state than it was, am strictly SSF and on release it was actual garbage. Act 4 is really good, way better than 2 & 3

Overall id say main problems;

-Game doesnt fulfill power fantasy

-Maps are a chore

-Endgame feels kind of aimless

I agree with you, it has some ways to go.
I'm ok with the way GGG are going about it to an extent.
I played it on release, I'll come back to it when it's much more fleshed out.
Similar thing happened with POE1.
 
I've been enjoying the new league and the latest update feels OK, albeit I am playing a Merc for the first time and just got to Act 3.
Following a Galvanic Shards build by Spud the King and it seems good, just needs to beef up a little as I still have to rely on gas and explosive grenades to do the majority of my damage, but I think I need to level a little more to get Galvanic in it's alleged OP state.

Oh definitely. It's great fun. I've gone titan and im doing a fire/fissure build with totems thrown in. Having a blast.

I agree about the endgame. I didnt get to play it that long but it felt very boring and repetitive. Let's hope they can sort that.

Act 4 is very good. Looking forward to 5 and 6.
 
I'm not getting along with this endgame at all, it just feels so slow and cumbersome to use compared to the first game. There's a few interesting looking builds I want to try but the campaign still feels like a slog to get through even with changes, the motivation to go through it again isn't really there.
