What is something that you think should be highest on the list of priorities to improve?

1. Remove most damage multipliers. Make them all "increased" instead of "more", so that the only multipliers are cast/attack speed or multistrike and its equivalents.
2. Reduce crap item spam by 80%, inprove chances of higher tier mods a bit to compensate.

That would make the game 100% better in my opinion. ymmv

holy shit couldnt disagree more..
that would ruin the game in a day :D

Does this thing fall under one of the three categories talked about in the video?

Spoiler

(If we didn't think POE was a great game, none of us would bother trying to improve it. It's okay to be critical.)

You've already talked about the death penalty and the rate wars in the video, so this is just to show, once again, that I totally agree with you (and a host of others).

Played the Core map, it didn't have any super-dangerous mods, so I took on the boss. I have almost 8500 eHP (with MoM), and a Basalt flask up. He attacks and misses, and I take half his health off. Then I move to the side as the tentacle thing wears off. But apparently not quite fast enough. I had 100% health at this point.

"Reload at Checkpoint"

Total BS. That's about two days of progress gone, since I've lost 10% several times to the idiotic syndicates and suchlike too. But gradually had got 12% towards level 95. And just like that, virtually everything is gone.

Like you mention in the video, sometimes it's impossible to react. It really is a case of "don't get hit, or you die". In no way is that good game design. I really don't care what people say, it isn't. And way too much in the game is like that. Kill everybody before they know you exist, or you will get one-shot, or near enough.

The more typical situation is to lose 50-80% of life from a hit, and then regain all that life in ~1 second. So the life meter moves like a fiddler's arm. I don't recall any other game that worked like this. Not even Torchlight, which is sort of similar.

Each time this happens, it drains my interest right away in an instant. There is absolutely no upside to such a horribly unbalanced and unfair system. But by all means, GGG, keep designing and "balancing" [sic] the game around the 0.1% community, and see the player base slowly wither away. New toys can only bring you so far. As long as the rot underneath isn't fixed, there are problems looming.

you made a mistake, you died, and now you're blaming the game and the mechanics and etc, as if you're entitled to level up.

also, your defenses are terrible and you have barely any phys mitigation.

Thank you for finally convincing me. It really was time to put the troll on ignore.

lolz.

makes a mistake but can't take responsibility for it. 'everyone i don't like is a troll'

MrsDeaf is right though. It would kill the game in a day for people like her.

by like me you mean majority of the players i suppose?
btw im not a she guys. its just an arpg tag. my beard itches every time people think i am a female.
aaaanyhu lets not miss the point.
that suggestion would create an uproar so big that even tencent sellout would look like a kid's cry out in comparison.

then if the game's balanced around the "average" players, those who aren't horrible at video games will find it boring and absurdly easy.

like now.

Seemed fine to me, but okies.

That's weird, it was the small icon of a broken link at the time I answered, no idea what happened then (and since we were 2 pointing it out, seems like it's not just me. maybe the hosting website's problem ? no idea)

edit : might be a browser problem ( still can't see it on one browser of another computer ), does not seem related to cache either, whatever.
