v0.1.0 ~ v0.1.0c

After playing about 30 hours in PoE2 so far, it is time for a quick review:

PoE2 is really polished for a Beta and Early Access version 0.1.0 !!
Way more stuff to come during development and balance changes !!
Therefore this PoE2 review becomes changed and updated in future ..

My personal downside on PoE2 is however:

• if you die, map resets but keeps unrevealed
  
• upon death champion mobs and all dropped loot is gone besides Quest Items
  
• teleporting to base any minute to clear up inventory
  
• no Open World, maybe it becomes implemented on a later stage
  
• no deep crafting so far, maybe in a later major update
  
• no in-game Market, yet ?
  
• Nickname creating is limited to lower and upper case letters only ..

A huge "plus" in PoE2 is:

• PoE2 rocks performance-wise, really optimized !!
  
• in-game scenery and environment is harsh & brutal
  
• Incredibly amazing music and environment of maps, details of units
  
• Player characters are shared throughout all servers/gateways
  
• No Server Shards, I have never been a fan of Server Shards
  
• If you are common with (MMO)RPG and ARPG games, skilling in PoE2 is easy
  
• Lots of Skillsets and complex combinations already present
  
• You feel the LOVE which the Developers of GGG have used to create this game

I think I do have more hours into PoE2 already, than in D4 .. exclude my Closed Alpha/Beta hours for D4. All the player characters in D4 feels wrong .. even Diablo Immortal feels better if Diablo Immortal wasn't a pure Pay2Win game..


v0.1.0d

• Market has been implemented by using various "Premium Stash Tabs"
  
• "poe2.sale" leads to the official PoE2 "trade2" site to price check and to see listed items

A Battlefield-COD-Hybrid .. clearly in asian style. So far so good ..
but graphics on my 4090 @ 240 Hz, gameplay and handling, well, everything in-game is absolutely cheaply done .. and the minimap lags, too.

Delta Force is in no competition to the superior Battlefield series .. and even that free COD is better.

Game is free and all, you can unlock all stuff for free yet, lots of weapon customizations, but the cheap, VERY CHEAP, gameplay feeling absolutely negates all of this. It feels like a mobile port.

DF is highly NOT recommended !!

unbalanced since a few months already ..

• • 5 loss/tries in a row in a single match after reaching 8/9 of 10 wins, sux
  
  
• • gaining 0 ranks upon a win sux
  
  
• • current worse and worst unbalanced rng match maker, sux
  
  
• • there are still exploits around to gain infinite armor and health, sux sux sux
  
  
• • there is also an exploit to permanently stun players, instant-loss, sux
  
  
• • all my classes are stucked around rank 30 platinum for months, sux
  
  
• • i uninstall and reinstall this annoying game in a love-hate relationship, sux

they delete all negative comments over there to distort their reputation, and apply straight a perm-ban after a few minutes of posting, without even had a chance to edit my bullet points post. it was my very first post on their steam forums .. and my last one!!

all my positive feedback and bug/exploit reports through eMail for nothing or what?

Steam Support has been alerted in a very detailed ticket .. !!
I also contact their Publisher IndieArk about this "incident" .. !!

Additionally I now try to refund this game after ~85 hours .. "OF TESTING" and supporting..
I do no longer support this shady Developer who literally "suppress & silence" players .. !!

this aint democracy, this is a negative dictation which clearly misrepresent themselves ..

:steamthumbsdown: :steamthumbsdown: :steamthumbsdown:

P.S.: reporting posts on Steam is NOT done ANONYMOUSLY, as these developers also punished me for reporting a toxic "skill issue" post of an other user who wrote against these bullet points I had posted, as they stated in my perm-ban notification ...

this particular thread has been completely deleted already by the developers .. of course

Highly, very heavily recommended !!

100% Pay-2-Play

100% No Pay-2-Win

Play with Infinite combinations and variations of equipment and gear ..
Amazing 1-on-1 PvP game ..
Play Ranked or Unranked 1-on-1 matches ..
Chilly Game
GOTY 2024 for sure !!

As a former Lineage II and Aion hardcore player as well as on Blade and Soul, especially on NA servers and later on these Classic Servers, the TL gameplay and controls in tutorial feels way too off, which happens even "before" nickname selection.

You go through multiple hassles for about 4 hours to finally be able to play the short tutorial, then to see your nickname is already in use afterwards . . . with very limited options !! Which braindead people thought this would be a great idea ?!! There is a Déjà-vu . . .

I exactly know what these have thought about this. Trying to make you addictive. It is a psychological aspect . . !!

Also ::

These dozens of shards even isolates players, has nothing to do with the terminology "MMO" . . It is a matter of time until server shards merge together which will surely cause more issues and problems.

Additionally you begin with fully equipped skill bars .. and unrealistic huge swords .. wtf is that ?!! Lineage II Gracia Part 2/Gracia Final/Classic and Aion v2.7/v4.7/Classic are completely different and by far way way better .. !! These were the best !!


Game feels rushed, unpolished, unfinished, sloppy, boring, story non-existent, clearly a cash grab .. !! THRONE & LIBERTY is NOT recommended !!

Stay far away from Amazon Gaming and Gameforge at all in general . . . !!

Fall back and play Aion Classic through NC's Purple Launcher instead .. and wait for their next NCSoft-exclusive titles which are NOT published by Amazon or Gameforge !!!

---

Everything works as intended for an Closed Alpha. Some UI glitches here and there.

In 2025 SMITE 2 will be finished as they have announced it ..

And the best Battlefield game is gone .. !!

"It's time to rock n roll!"

!! A MASTERPIECE COMBINED !!

It is really beautifully done, you see and feel the love which have been input into this project.
Thank you for this .. !!
