Feedback From Hudson the Wolf

Hi, I'm Hudson. I've made a video to provide feedback for Path of Exile 2.
It can be found on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=Ef2GuBOG_NU
But I'll also provide a summary of my feedback here.
I'll also be making additional videos to provide feedback for individual classes.
If any devs or mods would like to discuss this feedback, feel free to contact me directly.

PERFORMANCE
• Ranges from decent to terrible, regardless of graphical settings.
• The low frame rates can sometimes make the game unplayable.
• Poor performance is completely unacceptable in our modern time with our advanced technology.
• I hope that performance will improve throughout development.

ATMOSPHERE
• I like the aesthetic and quality of the game.
• Everything shares the same flavor and feels like it fits together.
• I also like that dialogue changes depending on your class.

CAMPAIGN SKIP
• There needs to be an option to skip the campaign if you've already completed it.
• It's exhausting to play through the entire campaign just to reach the end game.
• And you have to do it twice, because you have to complete Cruelty difficulty too.
• I don't understand why this wasn't an option from the beginning.

ACT BOSSES
• I'm always disappointed when I'm approaching an act boss.
• They have too many mechanics and they take too long to fight.
• They can be frustrating obstacles, especially for certain builds.

SKILL SYSTEM
• I really like the skill gem system and the freedom it provides.
• I also really like the freedom to choose individual support gems.
• I like the flavor of each set of skills being associated with specific attributes.
• However, it's restrictive and makes it difficult to make interesting builds.

ASCENSION TRIALS
• I hate ascension trials and I don't understand why they exist.
• They're long, tedious and boring.
• Success feels completely random.
• If you fail, you'll receive nothing.
• You'll need to farm for a specific item that will allow you to attempt again.
• As you progress further, they become even longer.
• They are a complete waste of time and I never want to attempt them, let alone complete them.

SWARMING
• It takes too long to perform actions.
• I don't have enough time to use enough skills to successfully achieve combos.
• Monsters reach the player too quickly too often.
• The player's movement is reduced when performing most actions.
• Skills take too long to activate; spells take too long to cast.
• These things, small as they are separately, combine for an uncomfortable experience.
