In typical poe fashion they are unrewarding and slow. They added dodge roll to a game and now I'm supposed to use it non stop. White mobs need to be ground down. And i get it, they wanted to slow shit down. They def did.
Ah, I see. Fait enough. Personally I enjoyed it. No point in making a different game just to have better graphics. PoE 1 is still there for those that don't like the new one.. and I'm looking forward to alternating between the 2, if they manage to find the pace which they promised.
I loved all the improvements to the gem system. Low lvl crafting felt good and the improvements, while quite small, we're noticeable. It's just a really bad pace for me. I never felt the dps ramp up at all. It never felt like i was killing anything faster or more efficiently and the "combos" while cool still involved just more clicking. I never felt like the game play improved. Just mechanics and graphics and polish.
I'm not a Souls person and i hated the extra hard mode they added to PoE1 so maybe the game just isn't for me.
