Let it Flow - About PoE's User Experience

these are pro stuff

debuffs !!

do something, anything, please! I find them almost useless.

i personally think they need to be moved to a different area of the screen at the very least. i still think that putting debuffs near the life globe, or perhaps modifying the life globe for the debuff in some way would work.

how about a clear visual indicator hovering over your character in the game window so you can see the debuff without taking your eyes off the situation ?

This thread is so densely packed, just to say

Although most of flaws OP stated atent gamebreaking, i still want to see them fixed. Indeed, there is so much to do for developers in PoE.....

Happy one year anniversary, thread! Interesting how little of these issues were touched upon in the last year, isn't it?

Here's what bothers me the most, off the top of my head:

• People can still stalk you just by adding your name to their list, against your will.
• Trading system is archaic at best for something so necessary to the game.
• Endgame consists only of a handful of maps to be repeated ad nauseum.
• There is no way to inspect someone else's gear without them linking items one by one.
• Items with microtransactions are not clearly marked and can be misplaced easily.
• Elemental status effects are not clearly advertised.
• Aura effects are not in line with other spell effects, quality wise.
• Group play is heavily favored compared to soloing.
• Itemlevel is not shown on item tooltip, but requires amazingly complex interaction.
• Cannot split stacks while Trade window is opened.
• Cannot move items in inventory while Merchant window is opened.

Looking back through the posts, I touched on a wide variety of little sticking points to the game's overall flow, but these are the ones that make me go "ugh...".

It's been a whole year, guys!

Don'tcha love it.

Thanks for this in-depth feedback, I bookmarked it for later use. I expect that several of the things touched upon will be adjusted.

posted last year....

now we get vaal orb auras.....zzzzzzzz

so sad GGG are just vomiting out new useless content instead of improving the current situation.

@phoobrak: best feedback i ever read - u should feedback every game there is ;-)

Played this game for quite some time, got to endgame, got bored. It's grinding for more grinding, even though you know only a select few can reach clvl 100, and even though it's highly unlikely to find anything of worth besides currency. Yeah, exalt drops are nice and all, but you're not using them, you're stashing them away to buy stuff because you know already that using it is a terrible waste.

But that's fine, endgame is always brain afk grinding.
What is more tiring in my opinion: Slow, monotonous, unmeaty gameplay, enemies obviously "inspired" by Diablo II and III (Devourers / Sand Maggots (burrowing), Spear Women / Cannibals (death animation), Goatmen, etc.), with really PITA skills (leaping, damage on unburrowing).
I know I'm gonna be flamed for saying this, but I really like Diablo III ROS more right now. It's more rewarding, has more quality of life, better story (unimportant point, I know), really fun, satisfying gameplay, and much better infrastructure.
Call me casual, but bashing enemies, seeing their corpses fly away, whirlwind without being desynced to the Chaos Sanctuary and back, finding upgrades frequently, etc., it just keeps me going, I'm only clvl 32, but I am enjoying myself like a little boy during Christmas. I don't care if ROS endgame sucks, I already had more fun while leveling in D3 than during any time interval of my POE experience. And that, in my opinion, is the most important part of gaming: fun. Be it intellectual, by planning ahead a build in PoE and trembling from anticipation, or after facerolling Ghom on normal difficulty.

Sadly, leveling in PoE is only fun or rewarding if you have completely mastered it, know the ins and outs of the bestiary, know every single mechanic by heart, and if you actually get lucky through the many, many layers of RNG.

So yeah, that was my qq, go ahead and cry about how POE is so much, much, much more better than D3, scream all you can, I'm off killing some hellspawn.
Seriously though, you people need to calm the fuck down.

See this .gif?
The people in the church are PoE players, and those in the bar are Diablo 3 players.
Bad illustration, I know, but the thought of it made me giggle a bit.

The endgame in RoS is fine, you won't have the map mods, but at least you'll be able to play it properly.
And it's likely to grow in variety, as the base is already set.

Sadly, we will probably never see a non-gated endgame in PoE, at least not before all those acts are finished, and even then, I doubt GGG will make that kind of hit to the economy, from what we can see so far.

This thread is living proof that no matter how epic your feedback is, it's a complete waste of time to write. These forums (even the feedback section) are nothing short of a circle jerk for people with no lives. I tried to add my own feedback as well (not nearly as good as what this guy wrote) and I am done. Ultimately, I really regret falling prey to the "donations" gimmick that GGG cashed in on. I'll still try to play the game (although it's quickly becoming a ghost town), but these forums... later.

after see this post i just give up. posted 1 year ago and we still having the same issues i dont expect ggg to fix his game anymore they just care about microtransactions
