why i HATE Path of Exile 2

Daniel played Path of Exile 2 Early Access up to level 18 and found the experience irritating and unenjoyable despite being a massive fan of Diablo 4.

Gameplay frustrations included unguided dungeon maps that cause players to get lost and trigger full enemy respawns upon death, slow movement without a sprint option, confined cave spaces that obstruct the camera, enemy body blocking that halts dodge rolls, and attacks that occasionally fail to connect with point-blank hitboxes.

Boss fights followed repetitive, identical attack patterns and yielded unrewarding loot, dropping low-value gear or items meant for other classes rather than usable upgrades for the Warrior class.

The passive skill tree was criticized for its sprawling, confusing layout, small incremental nodes that require condensing, and mismatched options such as spell damage for warriors.

The inventory system suffered from unintuitive mechanics, including an immovable window, a lack of right-click equipping that forced drag-and-drop actions, and clutter from excess runes, gems, and duplicate flasks.

Whether attacks missing enemy hitboxes at point-blank range stem from a software bug or intentional design.
