Who loves this game?

I love it (mostly).

* The drops of gear and orbs are ok (playing SSF, constantly using orbs)
* The difficulty and progression is ok
* The campaign is awesome
* Map progression is harder than in PoE 1, which is good
* The visuals, the sounds, the atmosphere... superb.


The not-so-great things:

* On-death mechanics are by far the worst thing and should be removed.
* Maps should be smaller (esp. the 'labyrinthine' ones)
* Base movement speed should be a tad higher
* Crafting is still way better in PoE 1
* Visual clarity is still a problem (although not on the levels of PoE 1, yet)
* Cost of respec should be cheaper on higher levels
* I don't particularly like either of ascendancy trials
* Side content (breach, exped.) is rippy af - mostly due to visual non-clarity
* Gem power is tied to zone level (you can't grind gem levels)
* Jeweler orbs are nowhere to be found. Still using 4-links in T7+ maps. In PoE 1 I'd already fuse-spammed me a 6L by now.
* Maps below your current tier have basically no value or use
* Vendor recipes in PoE 1 are better than those silly benches
...

If I had to pick three worst things currently in the game:

- Visual clarity is already a problem and will continue to get worse as new stuff is added over the years.
- On death mechanics are giving everyone PTSD and should be removed because they are bad design.
- Crafting needs to be improved with more deterministic options at low & mid levels of character progression.
