Where is the balance?

I want to say that this is not just a criticism of the patch. Rather, I even think that the patch has benefited the game. Yes, it is far from perfect and there is something to work on, but what happened before? Killing any boss with 2-3 hits using ice? Energy shields under 20k? Virtually indestructible builds, and vice versa, builds with an attack rate of several million per second? This kind of game can be fun, but not for long. She will have no future, because she is absolutely broken.

But that's not the question. The question is, why delete one thing and do almost the same thing, what's the point? Or is the vision of the developers that everyone needs to play using only one skill and pressing only one button? At the same time, having no problems with either survival or attack. Is it really addictive gameplay?

Dedicating most of the time to balance at this stage when 1/5 of the game is there is some on-spectrum activity.

And there is no balance whatsoever still, too.

They are balancing-balancing, balancing-balancing, and making it worse and worse with every pass, then go back to the beginning every patch.

Because a lot of people just follow guides and now the Huntress is the new class so everyone is playing it...it's like when a new xpak get released with new classes and races in a game, what do you expect will happen? As for Balance, it's cooking right now and they plan to make things as balanced as possible for the 1.0 release.

They're working on the balance now. That's what EA is for. They were very clear about that:



If you aren't going to enjoy the game until balancing is complete then just don't play during EA. The game is not going to be balanced until EA is finished.

That said, it's absolutely not 80% of players. It might be 80% of streamers or 80% of the YouTube videos you've watched, but it's not 80% of all players I promise.

they've been "balancing" poe 1 for like 10 years now and it's the same thing. ggg doesn't know how to balance.

They make experiments, that's all! The worst think is to bring new content without fixing first balance and bugs.

The new hero was conceived as an interesting character with new mechanics, and as a result we got a one-button unbalanced misunderstanding. It's like making a kill-all button in a build. You click right next to the checkpoint, and it goes to the next map.

As I wrote above, the main problem is that it practically kills any interest in playing in teams. I'm interested in playing with a warrior, a monk, a mercenary, even a lich and a sniper, but as soon as the spear comes into play, the game turns into a one-button kill-all shooter.

If they're not balancing it now, then don't fuck with stuff that was working before.

these are not experiments

they're throwing things at the wall to see what sticks

I would love more one button builds. Huntress is a win good arpg feel

Not really. It is just straight impossible to balance POE or POE2. One reason: Insane ammount of variables everywhere.
