XP loss on death and other feedback

Loving the game as a D4 convert and POE1 quit on the beach player.

There are some serious issues making me want to quit in endgame and I just got Here.


1. Explosions on death not telegraphed, no audio queues or hidden under a million FX so is impossible to avoid.

2. Losing XP on death must go. I'm lvl 72 and keep dying to broken mechanics or bugs and cannot progress any further.

3. Random one shots in maps to seemingly nothing with pretty good resistance, capped on all 3 except chaos. Needs to be looked into but I think a fix is on the way.

4. Waystones need to be purchasable at vendor. I cannot get them to drop of the appropriate lvl and can't progress as I die to nonsense and lose the high lvl ones I have.

5. Ascendancy is stupid. The t3 & 4 points are impossible unless you no life and blast non stop and have a perfect build. The game mode is terrible for the traps specifically and just randomly unbalanced for the chaos one. The drops are not clear on which will give you points and why(partially addressed) but essentially honor is stupid. So I can't make a build about thorns or taking damage on purpose and am punished when a system already exists to cover this (health) honor needs to go and the length of the trials needs to get toned down. I still can't beat the Ascendancy 3 at lvl 72.

6. Crafting items suck and I never get what I need or want. I've wasted probably a 100 orbs on turning goodish magics into bricked rares.

7.some items rolls are bugged which gives a massive buff to that item due to the bugged roll and then it's impossible to make your build work with any non bugged item. (60% spirit on a scepter) that's lvl 30 when lvl 70 scepters are dropping with like 20% spirit.

8. Random crashes and whole system lockups (issue for Poe1 and 2) Intel Cpu, Nvidia 3080 ti, apparently when zoning the cpu spikes to crazy usage and crashes game and pc potentially.

9. Let me unsocket items. Simple.

10. Let me hide or add serious transparency to effects and friendly players effects and minions. It's impossible to play in groups due to the amount of stuff on screen and we die non stop when each of us can individually solo clear whatever. Makes the game seriously not fun

11. RMT, People are already doing it and it's ruining the economy and fairness of the leaderboard.

12. Make going to guild hideout hotkeyable. Or any hideout for that matter.

13. Tier system of gear isn't explained anywhere

14. Orb drops still too low to craft anything useful

15. Let me influence better in early game what my craft mats do. I don't want to trade.

16. Make the upgrades to 4 and 5 skill sockets more accessible. Impossible to go further without them


I probably forgot other things but endgame is just too ridiculous to keep my interest for much longer. Obviously this is better than d4 but I want a game I can truly dive into and enjoy. Overall the game is good and I like it but these things need to be addressed.

Thank you.

Also,
You can't tell what a corruption does on an item. Just highlight something in red in the stat or thing that got corrupted.

Also, also,

I'm still using lvl 30s gear at lvl 75 (forgot if it was 72 or 75 but it's 75)
Cannot find better items to drop with better stats and can't craft anything better.

I get random Fps drops and stuttering for seemingly no reason. I have to play on low everything just for somewhat normal gameplay.
