What is most immersion breaking in POE?

- Scrolls of wisdom. Identifying all that stuff, sometimes running out of them (and then running the "chat" to find somebody selling them in large numbers and quickly) and so on.

- Tons of trash-items on the floor. The atmosphere is gone, once you kill some mobs in a narrow area. After "defend the relict" for example, the game looks like scrabble. Generally: the amounts of dropped loot (not the quality).

- Portal scrolls. I could live with them if there was a short-cut to them. Opening menu, clicking scroll: not so good.

That's it. I want to say that with immersion i mean zen-focus-grinding in an arpg. Kill-loot-kill-loot is what is broken up when scrolls set in or tons of trash loot demand your time to go through it in search for a mirror ;) Yeah i know that i can turn show loot off. Sometimes you can't loot in the time the item is shown then. So you have to toggle loot on. And whoooop there it is.

Immersion like in skyrim or other "real" rpgs is nothing i am looking for in this game. Even if i have to say that my first run with my first char felt like only a few other game-experiences before. It was great. After that: nope. Just grinding and killing and stuff ;))



I think you make a good point about how immersion is very different in an ARPG compared to a "classic" RPG


Thanks! I call it the snake-stare. The world could burn around you, but you are deep into the zen-mode of relentless farming ;)

What i forgot and what really annoys me: stacking of items / orbs. Regardless of "bagpack" or stashes. You just want to pick up shit, just want to store it in your loot-stashes and you have to spend some tetris-time to do this. Also if you get orbs or shards of orbs. Gnarrr. Maybe this is just because i am a little adrian monk in terms of storing my stuff, but it really gets me out of zen-mode quite often.

and +1 to the true sight ;) especially because sometimes timed missions from masters can trigger, while you just reach a dead end. on the OTHER side of the map, just next to your wall, there is the mission goal.
The Sirus fight is a disgrace.

Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.

Best of luck in the future!
I think the great flaw on PoE is that classes are not really TRUE classes.

You can make a Marauder to be some kind of Sorceress (complete nonsense for me) for example.

I don't know what kind of concept GGG put in char development, but the skill three is a complete set choice for any class, what makes them flawless if you are not familiar with the dynamic of the game.

I think that should not be restricted only by spent points in skill three. It should be a more intelligent system to build a char. Restrictions should be applied to make you make a Marauder to be a true WARRIOR class, not a HYBRID class that needs other types of damage besides PHYSICAL DAMAGE!

I tried to follow this line ... Make a Marauder to be a pure STRENGHT class and my char was a complete shit in game!

I tried to make a Ranger to be a pure DEXTERITY class and again ... A shit of char.

At least there are RESPECT points to set things right.

In my opinion PoE doesn't have any PURE class. All of them in some point will need to become a HYBRID class!

In this case, PoE doesn't fullfill my expectations! :(

I'm so used to doing this it's become like an involuntary twitch of my finger.

For me - unique items all with awesome 2D art that look like generic items on your 3D character.

Having to exit the game and go to work / socialize kinda breaks immersion for me...

Oh, and ->
