Five More QOL/UI Improvements

There is one QOL-improvement my guild and I are really waiting for, because it is the number one point of frustration for us:

When is GGG going to give us a chance to save characters before a major patch? With an offline skilltree of the old characters, with stats and all. Pretty much like the program you can download from an obscure source from reddit, but instead embedded in the website and from GGG themselves.

Because there is nothing more frustrating than fearing for your characters existence every patch because the skiilltree changes and you forgot (or aren't that internetty to use it) to go on reddit to download the newest version of a third party program!

I understand that GGG wants "metagame"-changes with every patch, I understand that there will always be changes, and that no character, be it old or new, will ever be safe from it. Fine.
But a little help with the hours and hours of not playing the game but rebuilding the chars would be greatly appreciated. Because this is what keeps some of my guildies away from the game in the long run.

OMG, just look at your skills and stats and make the same build you had before. How hard is that? And they cant just give you the tree as the tree changes on the site the ingame one changes as well, theyre connected. Want to save your build, print the tree out but what good would it do if it changed?

Its like if you got a red car instead of a blue car, having saved a pic of your blue car doesnt do anything.

Do you see what you did there? I ask for QOL-Improvements. And you tell me I should just do more office work instead of playing PoE. That's what I mean with "quality of life": Of course I am able to print the tree, with a little bit time and effort I might be able to write a program for it and build my own offline skill tree calculator. I just have to study IT, takes only a couple of years, at least that's what they tell me.

And I know the tree on the site is directly connected to the tree on the server. That's why I am asking for something offline to SAVE the old builds with stats. Because it would be less tedious, and would save time for me and my friends. It takes about 1 hour to rebuild a char carefully, to compare stats, to see if the items still work, if the base stats are enough etc. If you have 9 characters at around lvl 90, that's roughly 10 hours of not playing PoE. I play like 10-12 hours a week. Go figure...

If all these stats and the old tree would be available through GGG and an official program, that time would be about halved.

That's all I am saying. Relax!

All the anounced QOL-improvements are great btw. Go GGG!

it doesnt help you saving the tree because the tree changed. So you have to remake the tree from scratch with new nodes mostly. And the game tells you how much stats you need for the items to be worn. 10 hours? Wow, now thats a bad joke, i play 4 hours or so in a week and get by just fine. Stash sorting takes time, remaking builds doesnt. And i remade 39 builds at some point.

It is funny how you don't even get what I am talking about.

You made 39 builds in 4 hours? Good for you. Not everyone is a bright as you are.

Nah, thats what we need for the XP per hour thing.

Why are you so stubborn with this exp per hour thing?

It's awesome, it's QOL and its NON INVASIVE. I tend to stumble upon your posts sometimes and I don't know if your serious or not most of the time. I get that impression very often.
