Feedback on PoE2 0.3 condensed

Path of Exile 2 – 0.3 Feedback (Digest)

Context

Played 0.1, skipped 0.2, back for 0.3.

Playing Lightning Arrow Deadeye (feels great, should be the benchmark for other skills).

Feedback limited to campaign (not yet in Maps).

Positives

Campaign: Act 4 is excellent—long but engaging.

Story: World and lore are interesting, looking forward to future acts + transition into Maps.

League mechanics: Integration during campaign works well (Abyss especially rewarding).

Chests: Golden = great, blue = mixed, white = ignorable.

Trade system: New auto-trade system is efficient—big improvement.

Crafting: New currencies encourage early experimentation; droprates feel good.

Stash tabs: Socketable Stash Tab + auto-sorting = strong QoL upgrade.

Negatives

Merchant stash tab: Having to use a separate NPC for trade tab is clunky. Should be in the main stash window.

Performance: Noticeable FPS drops during Abyss encounters + in towns.

Loading times: Town loading screens (~4–5s) feel too long.

Suggestions

Currency bag: Small dedicated bag for currency (or allow global use from stash).

Merchant stash integration: Merge into main stash UI for smoother flow.

Summary
Campaign and core systems are strong, with big QoL wins in trade, crafting, and stash. Biggest pain points are performance drops, extra steps in stash/trade systems, and slow town loading. Lightning Arrow Deadeye is in an excellent place and it should feel the same way for other skills players decided to use.

If you replace word "campaign" with "tutorial" in this forum a lot of posts would have different perspective

This hit me in the funny bone. I often laugh at how companies make everything into tutorials, as if people are too dumb to walk 10 ft and figure out they have to be told to attack.

Thanks for the good laugh :) <3

You get it. I get it. I just wish GGG got it.

Glad to entertain. Some companies overproduce tutorial but ggg is on opposite side id actually say. Theres hundred nodes in passives, dozens of synergies and spells, hundreds of supports, maps, towers. They could release their own poe encyklopedia. Id actually say their tutorial is lacking a lot of deeper explanations. But on the other hand, most people would just skip reading if it was to much. Click wasd to move is good but after you complete the ritual this specific omen will reroll.lowest affix and will be very expensive in endgame is also necessary later.
