illathid 645 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I thought to start PoE 2 tomorrow but, knowing that game is unbalanced and save import doesn't work properly, I'll wait 2 months. Now I'm skeptical that savegame import will work properly in the future. Many thanks guys for your interesting answers I've been playing on the beta patch for tomorrow, and it's fixed basically every import issue I had at first. So at least one of your issues will be fixed in 24 hours.

artyom 5 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 ive not seen any bugs. The main issue is the difficulty. But if you dont read on whats overpowered on the forums and/or if you dont accidentally pick an overpowered strategy then the game will be challenging, although still not as challenging as POE1.

Dorftek 293 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yeah imo the biggest downer is the difficulty. However, if you play only one character it feels better in terms of difficulty. I've died a few times so far on my solo veteran playthrough. Depending on your class selection I suppose,I tried a solo chanter/ranger but summons and pet made it too easy and cheesy.

rjshae 9,313 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 No game breaking bugs this far, although I noticed a few things that seemed glitchy or not quite right. As usual, I plan to wait for at least three patch cycle releases before delving into it seriously. All I did was give it a quick try and completed a few quests, just to get an overall feel. I'm looking forward to spending some serious quality time finishing it. Quote "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to post Share on other sites
Ashen Rohk 245 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Game is great. Buy it, play it. Wait for difficulty to be sorted then replay it. Boom, done. Also, you can edit your PoE1 history into the game if the import doesn't work in the options menu. 2 Quote You read my post. You have been eaten by a grue. Link to post Share on other sites

Selky 122 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is it solid? No. Should you wait? Yes. Will you still have fun if you play it now? Probably, I'm having a blast even though I'm just rushing the main plot. It's sad that the launch was so terrible because it's one of the best games I've played in a very long time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dongom 57 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wait for difficulty and scaling to be fixed, but the game is real good still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yosharian 757 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Publisher freedom was supposed to be a big thing for the Pillars series yet still Obsi push out games before they are ready. This game needed another month of bugfixing. Seems to be an industry problem at the moment. Edited May 14, 2018 by Yosharian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whiskiz 59 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) I'd like to ask you if this game is: 1 perfectly playable without serious bugs. 2 well balanced. I remember PoE1 too easy when I played it. Thanks in advance and congrats to obsidian for their success. Definitely, definitely wait. Apparently the difficulty has been a **** show of easy. They even said they had to choose between balancing difficulty and bugfixing and that was after a month delay of release for bugfixing. That balancing will be in post release. Many people are talking about the game being way too easy and it being a let down - do what im doing and keep yourself busy while you wait for i guess post release balancing.

269811510 12 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 For now,POE2 is much easier than POE1.The emenies have the same power as in POE1,but the player can make 10 time more damage than POE1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karkarov 3,693 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) The bugs aren’t the problem it’s the game difficulty. Currently it is almost impossible to die on the hardest difficulty POTD. I find it hilarious when people say this. Does no one leave crit path? Does no one explore? I found a three eoten fight when I was level 5, I had only one exceptional weapon, and most of my armor was "fine" level, trust me, I didn't win. Also OP, all these difficulty complainers are specifically saying the hardest difficulty setting in the game needs to be harder. Something the lead Dev admitted before the game was even released. It is a non issue, if you care about playing on the hardest setting (most people dont), wait at least until that gets patched which will probably be soon.

Wodehouse_44 34 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 There is a beta patch right now, and the game updated again today. I have noticed a few bugs, mostly import problems. E.g. Pallegina is not considered to be a Kind Wayfarer, but banished from the Vailian Republic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master guardian 106 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Mate level scaling is currently not working. Stop being so sure of yourself based on nothing other then you’re own interpretation of what you think. Josh sawyer has admitted that level scaling is not working on Twitter. You are steering people in the wrong direction please do your research before commenting Thankyou 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More like the game will be great after they fix the difficulty settings Ah yes, the ol' "the game is a bit unbalanced so it's totally worthless as an entertainment medium". Dude, instead of saying the same thing in every thread please change the record. It's getting old. Fire up PoE1 on PotD, play IWD1/2 on Heart of Fury mode to satiate you. It'll get fixed. Can you genuinely not enjoy any aspect of the game until PotD is rebalanced? Edit: I play GW2 a lot, and this is the exact same nonsense that hardcore raiders spew, ignoring the fact that 95% of the playerbase don't even touch raids. You're in the minority. Critical path bugs and general game polishing come first. Deal with it. Edited May 15, 2018 by Ashen Rohk 7 Quote You read my post. You have been eaten by a grue. Link to post Share on other sites
_teknikz 10 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 You should wait for a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KaiG 93 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It's pretty bugged. Maybe not quite as bad as PoE1 on release but still not great, particularly with balance issues. I'd wait at least a few full patches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadySands 7,667 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 It's like any game, if you want a better and likely cheaper product then wait a few months. Personally, I've had no real issues but from the many complaint threads you can see that others have. Of course people are more likely to be vocal about it if their experience is negative so take it with a grain of salt. 3 Quote Free games updated 3/6/19 Link to post Share on other sites
Evange 49 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 With PoE 1 the game was really “complete” with patch 3.02. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, and PotD as well as solo runs usually cater to a tiny percentage of all players, so it makes sense to give such modes lesser priority. I love those modes, but I don't cry for that - I'm tying one hand behind my back with stuff like not rerolling companions and sidekicks, etc. You can make the game very challenging as it stands right now. 2 Quote *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to post Share on other sites
