my feedback and some suggestions

Hey

i played poe2 now 320hrs (according to steam) and want to let my feedback and suggestions here. (because its an Early Access title and lives through player feedback)

first i must say, i'm not native english speaker and i don't want AI to translate my text so.. sorry in advance :)

Story

i love the story, but it feels strange thats mobs in Akt 1 are way more easier than the first mob in akt 2, i see why the balance was necessary but it feels not good. in my opinion it should either start hard and gets harder, or start lighter and gets slightly harder, but the steps in between are just as important as the start and end.

in the current state it feels slightly off to facetank akt 1 mobs and get crushed by akt 2.

Gems
i like the new gems system, but i dont like that my first character is gatekeeped through the area Level to drop the skill gems. I have already my Character Level that should tell me whether i can equip certain skills.. or not.
also.. let us stack the Skill/Support and Spirit Gems from the same level, my entire Gem tab is filled with gems it hits constantly the 500/500 limit, i dont want to imagine what people do without this stash tab. i dont want to filter them, my second or third character could use them, expecially low level spirit gems.

Reforging Bench
the reforging bench is in my opinion a downgrade from the vendor system in poe1, but to see poe2 as a new game and not a sequel, i life with that, but, when i "three to one" destilled emotions, why can't i keep the outcome in the window and stack them? they stack after that anyway, it would be very faster,
or better, skip the outcome window and throw the item direct in the inventory, this should be the best way expecially for waystones.

Stash Tabs
one thing i encounter very often is that i cannot filter for certain waystone Tiers. If i want a "Tier 1" Waystone, it highlights every Waystone with a 1 in it so everything between Tier 10 and 15.. and 1, for the most players this should be not a problem when Maps Stash Tabs are released but for new players, or the current Early Access (we don't know when the Stash Tabs are implemented in the game) its pure pain to search for certain things in the Tabs.

i don't mention tabs for Expedition oder Breach, they come anyway, maybe not today or tommorow, but it would be a waste of time to mention that.

Item Filter
i don't really know, whether its possible or not, but at the current state i cannot figure out how to highlight (Tier 2 Unidentified) items, i tried every known to me way to highlighte such things and come to the conclusion.. it seems.. not possible? i'm a person who is blind for such things as check every magic/rare item, i need such things as highlight for those things D:

Trade Site
The Trade site for poe2 is.. terrible. i played poe1 for over 10k hours, so i know where i can find the site but this is a whole new level.
i cannot find the poe2 site when i come to the poe1 site, i MUST navigate to the poe2 site, however on the poe2 site i HAVE a panel to the poe1 site.
then i have to nagivate to the poe2 trade,
- where i cannot filter for Mods on time-lost Jewels
- or can "in the current state" bulk trading

where the weighting for Exalted/Divine are so strange that i have to automaticly filter both orbs to find anything while i must 20 times login so i can use the site, then i can whisper 20 people where nobody answer, for the poe experience.

Last thing is known for everyone who uses the site.

implement the poe2 trade site in the poe1 site, please.

Uniques
i played in my current playtime 5 characters, mostly because i found a unique item that looks interesting to test around but i failed because every unique weapon has a 8-10 damage modifier and deals round about 30-40 damage while every magic/rare weapon deals mostly the triple damage.
Exceptions are Staffs and Sceptre which scales with the item level. I know thats because there are skills on the weapon, but this feels inconsistent, why cant every weapon/armour scale with the Itemlevel? this should result in new and interesseting builds.
i also hope there are coming a few poison/bleeding weapons to the game.

thats it.
I like Path of Exile 2, you notice the early access state, and thats good.
would the game feels finished, where is the space to improve.
i dont mention the MF Meta, or the One Shot Boss Builds, or the framerate, thats things that are either a early access thing or are discussed.. EVERYWHERE

Keep up the good work :)
Good Day
