Feedback on Recent Patch Changes - Let's Make PoE 2 the Best It Can Be

I think respec should be free or negligible cost.

For a game with this much potential flexibility, it seems counter intuitive to make experimenting with different pathways prohibitively expensive.

The main argument against seems to be "...but then people will respec every single boss." Which, press X to doubt, but even if some people chose to do that, so what? What's the harm in it? I'm sure there's plenty of people who wouldn't. More flexibility allows more people to have fun the way they want to without anyone being wrong. What's important is, can these builds clear the content in a "reasonable" amount of time? Do players feel like they are progressing? Is the process fun?

Anything else, I think, is secondary.

I understand there are probably some overpowered ways to use triggergems, but does it have to be like in PoE 1 that everything gets nerfed to oblivion? I went in blind, got hooked on trigger gems as soon as i could use them. The gameplay became way more fluid, felt really good and looked even better. Don't kill game mechanics for everyone simply because some some people get too good, they will anyway, and casuals like myself just get less of a game.

It let me buy a second "Scattershot" support gem. But I can only equip one? So why can I buy more?

GGG, please adjust Difficulty of trial of chaos. Stage debuffs too unballanced and dragon boss is soo annoying to fight with meler. Every 5 second he is flying away and need to chase to the end of map. I am really disappointed about trials. Not enjoyful at all.

Are you planning to add Transmogrification to the game? It would be just great to add some kind of chest or cabinet to change the appearance of armor. Don't get me wrong, the armor in the game is great, but I would like to have a full set of armor of the same type on my hero without harming the stats.

p.s. this game is awesome!
p.p.s. can't use the Orb of Chance on quarterstaff :(

I'm on the same boat ( in terms of trying to find gold to respec, but not from nerfs ) the actual respect bricked me tbh, so well I can kinda blame me also, but it shouldn't have been that punishing.

I've been playing a grenadier but as soon as I reached act 2 cruel, some bosses are just 1shotting me and well I can't see anything basically due to my grenades to avoid it haha.

Long story short, I had the idea of dropping everything and turning into a gunner-style gameplay to at least have some of my screen visible in case I could progress (and well try other things also). I didn't check my cash ( my bad ) and now I'm 55 level running countless hours around on normal act 3 to try and farm gold so I can properly respec while being able to basically just use 1 skill in all of it's effectiveness.

Gold is super hard to come by when mobs drop 17g here and there, even by selling everything it doesn't make up for it. At the start I thought that "oh well at least I'll grab some xp so ok" ... that's also not happening since I dropped down like 10+ levels to even manage to kill a pack of mobs ( god forbid I find a rare etc it'll take me 30 minutes to kill it ). I also farmed act1 in cruel as well just in case I could at least find one of those orbs that unlock an extra support skill slot ( don't even remember how it's called ), that's not happening either :D .

FYI, I'm an absolute entry player, I maybe had like 2 hours of PoE gameplay so in essence I have no idea what I'm doing, but that's part of the fun hah.

Other than the fact of this unfortunate grind which has currently broken my spirits for good, PoE2 has been an absolute blast from design to application on every aspect. I've got 2d 6h played time and I loved every bit of it... up until now haha.

Cheers

Trial of Sekhemas suck just remove it from game.

i for got the spirit buff item once at king itm and i can never get it back

One of the things I dislike is that I cannot use multiple support gems of the same name like "Martial Tempo" on multiple skills, this makes no sense, yeah I get not being able to stack it up on one single skill, but different skills should still be able to use them also. I don't like that I have to have one ability attacks or casts fast and everything else is extremely slow. Really just keeps you pressing one button because you'll probably die if you cast/attack with anything slower than the supported skill/spell.

Yeah I agree, really don't like the honor is hp, the basic of gaining the ascendancy shouldn't be this difficult.
