Bad character progression, zero loot, low currency, bad damage, too much mob health.

This feedback is only for early acts, still trying to get through Act 2
- The loot seems underwhelming - I'm now deep into Act 2 but have only managed to upgrade a couple of items since the end of Act 1 (the rare drops I have had are not for my character / not very good). Most of my gear is 10+ levels behind my character level. I've now spent the day mostly just re-running parts of Act 2 looking for gear as a Warrior. We either need more currency (Regal/Exalt) (going back to Magic items just seems wrong after years in POE1), or more drops. Or I need to get over my Magic Gear aversion ;) - The gambler doesn't seem very useful, I've had items 2 lvls above mine, by the time I can use them I'll have forgotten I have them (and they are only Magic, so probably not worth the high gold cost). The high gold cost early on seems like it is only targeted at gearing Alts. You can get lucky and get a nice rare, but mostly it will gamble away all your gold for a bunch of Magic gear that won't be useful as you don't have any currency to finish it off. - Early Passive respec costs seem high. I wanted to fiddle with my tree to reassign the 4 'per-weapon' points I had (I had just assigned them to both weapons as I was just learning). That cost most of my gold. Seems unbalanced for early game. - Drops from rare monsters / bosses / rare chests are underwhelming. Opening a Rare chest and only getting gold - doesn't seem very Rare. Sorry for the negativity, enjoying the challenge of the bossed and the general experience of the rest of the game. |

" i can agree 100% despite the game being very fun, if not a long slow slog through the same campaign twice! it feels extremely unrewarding in terms of loot all the way though 6 acts, i see barely any currency asides from transmutes and augs so crafting upgrades goes out the window and to gamble one possible upgrade atm would set me back 3-4 inventories worth of trash and it will probs be a blue lol. during the campaign on multiple characters ive tried out, im averaging around 5-10 hours constant play to see a unique item drop and it is never something usable for me sadly. i have about 100% rarity on my current characters gear and hes at the end of cruel, seen 1 unique item drop and it was mid act 2 normal, i barely see rares either and when i do its usually a shield arm/es ones which again are not what i need :p. Tweaking the loot through campaign would be fantastic, i did expect first time boss kills to at least give me something as a reward especially the act bosses. poe1 used to reward some very mid rare gear through quests, that seems to not exist in poe2 and would actually be helpful due to severely lacking drops. movement speed is super duper slow and travel type abilities seem to be locked behind t13 gems which is act 2 cruel, so some passive ms built into boots would be a massive help since its pretty rare to find ms boots at all. i'm also very aware that trade exists but trading on ps5 is janky and irritating and i really don't want to have to do it, plz give an ah or marketboard style system on ps5 for item trades,the currency one is pretty great and something similar would be a game changer! or m & k support would help also. that's just my opinion anyways, pretty fun so far but slow and unrewarding. |
