Merc & overall game feedback - As a new player!

Hello!
First time posting here, though i've been a little bit active on the discord since the POE2 EA Launch.
Thought i'd share some thoughts that i've been having now that i'm done with all 6 EA Acts and getting started on maps as a merc.


1: Map size: this has already been talked about by streamers and youtubers, but i thought i'd give my 2 scents as a normie.. the campaign mapsizes once you hit stuff like the Dreadnaught are too big.. Now, i'm sure the checkpoint update is gonna help a bit, but the map size itself is just too big, especially considering that you have to reclear the map if you die.

I dont so much mind the map size when it comes to endgame maps, as i'd expect those to be big, but the campaign could use some streamlining.


2: Merc equipment (Why no quiver?) - As the title of this line says, Why cant merc's use quivers? Bolt Quivers does exist, and was a stable in D2 aswell, Theres no reason for mercs not to have a quiver for their crossbow, or just be able to use the existing quivers.. Bows and Crossbows has the same amount of stats, but the ranger then just gets a little extra ontop via the quivers.. it feels off... But that might just be me?

as a sidenote, i think its a little too unclear as to what attribute benefits the merc the most, having some kind of indicator would be nice (personally i've just been going with a nice mix of all 3, due to my current itemisation)


These are basicly the things i have the most gripes with.. I'm still gonna be playing, as im REALLY loving the slower pace of the game compared to POE1 (and Diablo) and feel like i've found a good home with the Merc class.

Hope to see you all in Wraecrest.
