Obviously not played much yet. Though i fear twitchiness is gonna to be much greater than in 1. Also i can't play for shit in every class except sorcerer, with warrior and monk i can't even kill fucking Miller lol (first intorductory boss).

POE 2 feels really bad. I've done 40/40 on 10 POE expansions (completed the game 100%, 10 times).
It feels like POE 2 was modeled after Ruthless Mode in POE 1. Ruthless Mode is a game mode in POE 1 that is only really liked by one streamer named Kripparian. Kripparian is a blizzard-fanboy who only played POE 1 in the beta and complains that POE 1 is too rewarding and easy. One time I watched a Kripparian video where he explained that he buzzes his hair short because he doesn't shower often and doesn't want people to notice from greasy hair. Ruthless mode has existed in POE 1 for 5 POE expansions now. Every expansion Kripparian plays ruthless mode for 1-2 weeks and then quits because it's too hard to play the game with barely any items. (Duh!)
Ruthless mode is a mode of POE 1 where the crafting bench is removed, monsters barely drop any loot, skill gems are only obtained from monster drops, bosses go back to full HP when you die, all movement skills have been removed. Everyone in the POE 1 community hates ruthless mode. Only like less than 1% of POE 1 players think that ruthless mode is good. Nobody who plays Ruthless Mode has actually even completed the game.
All of the characteristics of Ruthless Mode have transferred to POE 2. There's no movement skills, you can only dodge roll. If you become surrounded, you are trapped and die. You can't move through enemies at all, Normal monsters take 5-6 hits to kill. Barely any loot drops. If you die, the whole zone repopulates and resets and you lose any items that were on the ground. Bosses are very difficult to kill. Most of the bosses have abilities that are hard to avoid and kill you in 1 hit. If you die, the boss respawns with full health. The bosses drop very little loot. You will lose 10 times to every boss before beating it. Almost everything kills you in 1 hit because barely any items drop and they removed most of the defensive passives from the passive tree. There's very high difficulty and very little reward.
I'm wishing GGG would have just released another POE1 expansion instead of this. The next POE1 expansion (3.26) was supposed to be released this month but they delayed it until March because of POE 2.
Unfortunately both ingame chat and forums/reddit are full of absolute worst scum of cuckpit worth g*mer gatekeeping scum telling you to git gud. I tried for 2 hours now to get any help for the wolf count boss and guess what, i got insulted more times than in all other hack & slash games ever and ofc nobody helped.
And i'm 100% sure what will happen later, all those scum will start whining and crying that people play only meta builds and devs need to nerf them.
This is precisely the problem with that boss. All others can be killed at range but this one has a phase where it locks you in tiny space with tons of mobs and pounce on you from outside visibility ever 5 seconds of so for insane damage.
Also there is no promised trade, at least not yet, i just wasted entire saturday playing it, got to the same boss on two different classes and got stopped at the same place every time. Now i'm frustrated as fuck and i literally never felt so cheated after buying a game.
You can change your in-game chat channel. You type "/global #" into the chat but replace # with a number. I like channel 4040, which is a channel for achievement completion, but it always has the same group of people in there and there is friendly chatter. Channel 5055 is the designated reddit channel.
Thanks, i will check this. Also PoE community IS really somethign else. I watched maybe 5 or 6 videos on Youtube and today my new feed is half full of typical nazi propaganda youtubers, which never happened after watching even a lot of videos for Last Epoch, Diablo 4 or Grim Dawn.
Here's a list of channels to avoid for political reasons.

Here's a list of channels that have good info. I copied this list and labeled some channels I recognize. As a rule of thumb, avoid channels with robot/ai voices.

I don't watch her stream so I don't know if she's OK now, but the DS in DS Lily used to be RWDS for right wing death squad. Just putting that out there.
