I'm sorry, what? You don't die to physical damage in the late game? One of the most common deaths I've had, is to corpse explosions, which is mostly physical damage. Also, yes you can dodge bosses physical damage attacks but if you're not playing one of the meta builds in the end game or playing something like a melee class (you should know) and you're not deleting bosses in seconds you're bound to get hit and most of their physical damage attacks can delete you. I've died from full energy shield to one hit from the Hyenic Raider on a tier 15 map, and I have 5K energy shield. Granted it was a juiced boss, but still physical damage is my most common grief in the endgame.

Couldn't agree more. I've played poe 1 since closed beta, was looking for something new in poe 2. Did get that in act 1-3. The end game is more poe 1 than poe 1. Unfortunately there is a vocal minority who keeps saying to make the game even more like poe 1. Hopefully they will go into a new direction but I doubt it

GGG didn´t play the game before release, so much avoidable problems. I was so happy about souls like boss fights and now we are bursting them down without any mechanis. What a waste of boss design. There is no reason to laugh at d4 bosses, poe2 bosses are the same shit. I´m 600h in now and I think its time to see a clear direction, because I need to know what is next before going in another 600h.

Tiered items are weird because raising the floor of what mods can roll at doesn't actually change anything. A ring isn't all of a sudden going to be good because it rolled 30 life instead of 10.

I'm new to PoE and PoE2 has been awesome as a newer player, very enjoyable but after beating the game I try getting into the trade site and try to buy things, god.. it has been so MISERABLE!!! I have never hated a trade system so much before. Whispering players for HOURS! Just to be ignored and waste tons of my time.. I would love to have an action house in place for this. Make a trader, where you can search the item, click buy, DONE! I know they wanna still sell stash tabs for money, just the trader use items from the trade tab players buy then it take the item and swap the price with the item in the player stash. This also means your items could sell while your offline too. No one has to wait and everyone wins! The whole trade site system has been just a shitty time and is one of the things i dislike the most.

600 hours later.... Crafting is dead, omens are dead. Atlas is a total sham, the character design is weak, monks suck. the bell sucks, expedition is dead, ritual is nearly dead even after the buff, breach is the only decent mechanic to run, the randomness of precursors sucks, the dead maps seem really common and obviously suck, rituals still spawn half off the map, doryani is totally pointless aside from refunding points. the reforge bench is trash - ( you cant stack an item in the top like 3-1 30 of the same oil). Not changing ascendancy is total trash, the cost to refund is pointless, gold in general is pointless. Nothing feels worth it, traversing the atlas is trash - broken connections - massive pools of water you cant get around - towers are a pointless change, sad they wasted time on even designing that with the amount of issues the game has. current state of the game, people are just running bluff towers on repeat....and this is path of exile 2.... its laughable.

I agree with all of this except the trading. I totally understand and agree with all the frustrations with the current trade system, BUT I don't think we should ignore that other systems will have an even worse problem. For example imagine a noob's frustration when they can't buy that 1ex item, VS. that first time they accidentally list a 1d item for 1ex and it gets instant bought out by a bot.
@Drakonan24287 сағат бұрын
I don't think a market place or something like that is the solution. I think trade altogether is what keeps the game from achieving it's true potential. Because trading exists they can't make crafting and item drops meaningful and fun. All they need to do is a similar system with factions in Last Epoch. The SSF faction gets more and better items than the other faction but can't be traded in any way, items dropped while in this faction are tagged and can't be put on the market, the only exception is you can give them to people you party with regularly using special items that drop in game. The trade faction is where GGG took the inspiration for the ingame currency exchange market, but you can trade for all items using gold. This creates a choice for the players to choose the progresion path they like, you either play trade, farm gold and buy items from other players. Or you play SSF and don't feel like you nerfed yourself by having the same drops like the trade players but being unable to interact with their drops aswell.

The first 30 levels are satisfying in terms of progression but it also the first 30 level where it's more effective to just auto-attack because the skills are way too underpowered. They either don't do damage or too clunky without action speed or require the conditions to achieve which also leads to DPS lose while you're trying to achieve it. Like I don't get the armour break stuff - you need to waste time to build it and then it just get consumed by another skill.

I think the best tool for teaching players how to craft is expedition. It is literally building an item bit by bit. If they have an option to show the mod pool when adding or rerolling affixes, it would be an enormous teaching tool.

Agree with pretty much all the feedback, hopefully at least some things make their way to GGG. Point about gemling is so true, every build I think of that sounds cool would probably be the strongest on gemling which I get its main strength is power at high investment but it feels like it overshadows almost every other ascendancy once you're past a medium budget in endgame
@heatart17 сағат бұрын
it seems like the problem with trading is the game is built around it (AND it's bad). i had a good crossbow drop at level 62 and didn't get an upgrade until level 85, at which point i traded for a significant upgrade for 1 exalt (which is like the equivalent to an alch or chaos orb in poe1)? i did 3 to ones, crafted, crafted mid map, for 23 levels which might be like 40 hours of gameplay. where as you get an exalt in like 5-10 minutes? that's pretty wild.

@@Drakonan2428 Nope, entire progression system is build around SSF, its difficult to explain, but everything works perfectly in terms of difficulty when there's no trade involved, infact the fact that trade IS a problem proves it, it is literally not balanced, which is not a problem in SSF. Also, logically they didn't have a massive economy to test how trade would function while unreleased.
