Your top 3 downsides of POE

To be fair, Perandus was removed and Ultimatum is still not implemented.

EDIT: realized you need 3 words :)
1. visual bloat
2. one-shot
3. Sirus (Delete him)

map tab
standard
minority

1. Rares with Speed Auras

2. Rares with Slow Auras

3. Rares with Lightning Mirages

Leveling through acts

League or bust - if it sucks, you may as well play standard

Their idea of innovation is rearranging the maps on the atlas

If you were to describe POE's major drawbacks to someone, which 3 adjectives would be at the top of your list?

1) precipitant
2) meta-syncretic
3) apoptotic

Starforge Cyclone
Winter Orb
Spectral Throw

Between all 3 of them, there isn't a single one over 1m dps listed on poeninja. Just in case the damage wasn't low enough, the first 2 had their mechanics bricked to shit so that they feel miserable to play as well. What a fuckin joke.

Also logging into town instead of hideout. I don't care about other people's mtx.

This.
On so many levels.

I get blasted by MTX, which is all good if its your character and you enjoy the look. I could care less TBH.

I am SO sick of having to scroll to town and spam /hideout macro when trading before I begin mapping.

Also, killing elemental equilibrium for the Witch Specter builds makes budget building almost an impossibility along with removing PVP builds from the start is a double blow. Tho as far as stemming the flow of easy Spec bank creation, I can understand this move.

As a 4th minor thing, crafting. At the start was great but currently there is no reason to farm anything, just craft perfect item or trade for them. Too many deterministic crafting imho. It ruined the game spirit.

This game is WAY too complex in relation to D2, so whenever they add a new league or make an adjustment, it can create a bit of a domino effect where things need to be constantly updated. Also D2 was half local and half server side, and they hardly added anything which is why '3 patches a year'. ANY OTHER MMO or multiplayer game that is a client connected to a server only and constantly has updates going.

Again, D2 was a 'Set it, Forget it' type thing after the DLC dropped, PoE is an ever-shifting game that will need patches to fix things, balance issues from newer implemented skills and mechanics and so on

1) Flawed/unknown vision for the future of the game

2) Inability to balance 95% of the game for almost a decade

3) Bloat
