i think im done for now

Yes, this is a crying post im sorry.

Im around 14 hours in now and just got through act 1-3 and im probably not gonna do 4-6

I like the game itself, and im sure it will be good with enough time but im not feeling it enough to keep going. I basically forced myself to keep playing because i thought that maybe once i got to like level 40-50 the build will probably start picking up and it wont be as annyoing to keep dying over and over and having to reclear stages over and over.

I think slower gameplay is fine if you mix it well enough with the difficulty, but It felt like 80% was just walking around and waiting a shit ton of time until the white mobs finally decided to tick down. The maps are way too big and im not going to run all of it again until either the player or the combat gets faster. The other 20% of the game was 5% thinking that some mechanics are well done and pretty cool and 15% banging my head against the 5-10 min boss fights until one of us dies inhaling copium that it will get less annoying with more skills and points in the tree but it just wasnt. acts were the worst thing in poe 1 imo and so far poe2 is topping that, while yes 14 hours is probably kinda slow and with more practice its for sure gonna get faster but with all the walking and waiting im not seeing how i could even get under 8 hours for the first three acts. let alone the whole campaign to finally be able to get to the part that made me love poe in the first place. Im not going to force myself through 15-20 hours of acts for every single char that i want to play just to have fun.

I know that its a me thing and im fine with that i just wanted to kinda vent my feelings.
