The Best Feedback i can give you GGG

People keep saying "the devs have put their foot down on issue X" but if EA is full of players saying they don't like something, they will be forced to change it. So keep voicing it.

To do slow and methodical, with combos instead of 1 button, the game needs to change quite a bit. You can't have a non-stop onslaught on the player. Both hordes of monsters or bosses that never take a break. You also need to think about how a player will use that small dps window they have against said boss. So if a skill doesn't take off a big chunk of the bosses life, or apply a bit DoT, then the fight still isn't balanced. At the same time you don't want this combo to one-shot screens of enemies.

I want to feel powerful at some point. This should be when I enter the endgame and start mapping(or whatever they change it to?). But feeling powerful doesn't have to mean zoomy. Someone mentioned tailoring maps to how you want to play. I think that would be nice for players who do enjoy AoE'ing hordes while someone else could run a "boss gauntlet" for their maps. It would feel good to me to dodge a bunch of boss attacks and then see them charging up a one-shot attack so I unleash a combo and do a big hit with still time to avoid their upcoming attack.

Agree on just about everything else and would add that trading needs to be fixed with the option to automate buying exactly priced items without needing player interaction. Doesn't need to be an AH, just another button on the trade site next to the whisper button.

Dude, d4 didn't sink and it's complete dog shit vs poe2. Poe 2 will not sick because some crybabies that can't sustain waystones quit.

This reminds me. I never played POE1 and what got my attention for POE2 was people talking about how you could tailor the endgame (in POE1) to what you want to do.

But then GGG threw that customization completely out the window with how the Atlas is just pure RNG in this game. There's absolutely ZERO customization of the endgame. At best you can try to funnel league mechanics into a smaller number of nodes, but it's all RNG what tablets you get and what league mechanics you could add.

There's 15% more chance of essences, which in the realm of RNG is as good as nothing. Endgame is just an RNG mess of "you take what we shove down your throat", and that probably has been one of the biggest disappointments for me, after hearing all the praise about POE1 endgame.

You can do this. Juice with breach tabs if you want to aoe hordes or juice with over seers if you want to juice bosses....

1) XP loss on death. This mechanic needs to seriously go, its completely pointless,

at this point it was clear you should not give suggestions because you dont understand why some mechanics are in place and why they are needed.

At this point it was clear you'e incapable of accepting others hate xp loss. It's not all about you. Fact.

Overall +1.

I don't know why but there seems to be some strange parallels of GGG to the government in a way...lol -- I mean, could Tencent have corrupted them at all..? Lol who knows...

Great post with solid points. I agree with pretty much everything and I also have over 400 hours in PoE2 currently. But it has been very easy to not log in the past 2 days and I think that should be a red alert to GGG because I've spent more time complaining lately than playing.

On the verge of sinking lol…..

Play something else OP

its not about me or him. he stated xp loss is pointless, aka it serves nothing. that is clearly not true. so he is either lying or doesnt know about why xp loss is in place and why it is needed. in both cases im not interested in reading.

im fine if somebody says "xp loss has some pro's and surely some negatives" and we can discuss whats the best way. but stating it is pointless is simply not true, no matter if he likes it or not. im not starting a discussion on wrong statements.

It's funny because in the patch notes people were praising this patch as the best patch for any ARPG in a decade. I couldn't hold myself back from laughter, this patch was always a rushed return to work patch as GGG said themselves. Saying this patch is anything else is just dishonest.
