Feedback: Not enough crafting material/gear
|
Just a little bit of feedback after playing something between 20-30 Hours.
I am not finished with the campaign so my feedback is just for the first few acts since i dont know if it will change. There is not enough crafting material dropping in acts. I thing the armor and weapon drops are fine but we cant use 99% of items dropped because there is no crafting currency to make use of those items. Crafting is much needed since it is one of the core features but just running around in magic gear just doesnt feel good in my opinion. IF you find a regal orb and use it, the chance of getting a usable item out if it is slim. We need more chances for crafting gear and getting upgrades because that is what makes the slow paced gameplay fun. As a long time poe1 player who never really got into crafting i was excited for the poe2 crafting since it seemed a bit simpler and a lot more accessable but this accessability is blocked by too little currency dropping. (It is just a bad feeling still using a lot of items from act1 in act3 because there are so little possibilies to get upgrades) Dont know how other players are feeling about it but that's just my take. TLDR: Either we need more rare gear dropping or more currency to craft gear. I would prefer the second option tho. Last bumped on Dec 9, 2024, 5:40:37 AM

I feel like this is the biggest single thing that makes people quit before even getting to cruel. I made my way slowly through acts 1-3 getting minimal upgrades and feeling kind of conflicted about the game. Then i got couple nice upgrades and links to my skills before cruel act 1 and its like i am playing a new game.
Maps dont feel like slogfest now that my aoe clear actually can clear the packs (no more getting cornered by scarabs thank you). I finished cruel act 1 in 2 hours and felt the balance in speed and methodical gameplay was on point. Btw I am playing bloodmage with solar orb+flameblast and comet on cast on ignite. Before flameblast i used flamewall+ember fuscillade. Now the thing is that can i find timely upgrades in the rest of the acts or eventually in the maps before this powerspike wears off? If next upgrade keeps dodging me and the maps end up in the same difficulty of clearing as acts 1-3 were i think it really might turn me off from farming the endgame endlessly. |

" I personally find there to be an issue with the SKILL TREE itself - due to the severe lack of specific damage nodes it becomes almost impossible to scale certain skills(like currupted blood, because the only dot nodes are on the other side of the tree, and they only apply to "ailments", which currupted blood technically isn't - and you can forget about scaling % damage with the % damage from strength node as that is only 1% per 15 str, when this game has very few ways to gain strength) |
