Tell me your FAVORITE thing about PoE 2!

- Slower, more tactical combat (I actually notice rares before they die)
- WASD movement
- Visuals
The boss fights! They're awesome
actualy feels good in nearly all aspects.
best thing: not so much graphical screen splatter that i cant even see myself anymore

lots of fine tuning needed, new droprate feels much better already
love that they will make teleport from checkpoint to checkpoint possible
makes exploring big maps less travel intensive
The thing I like most is they created much more powerful tools to change things in POE 2 more quickly and efficiently. The changes in the first patch seem to point that out clearly, as they adjusted dodge roll along with adding checkpoints and loot drop adjustments. That patch did a ton of stuff, and they did it quickly. That is the best thing going on for me with EA.
One of my favourite things is being able to play the game like it's Binding of Isaac or Super Smash TV. It's such a refreshing change of pace.

On my Merc, I've been able to ignore all defences in favour of relying of WASD. Constant movement, virtually zero reload time, and the occasional dodge roll. I find it so fun, and so effective; Doryani on my first attempt, for example.

I enjoy the typical way of playing, of course, but Merc is just a bubble of joy right now.
I love the fact picking up items is relevant again. I love the scarcity of currency. The boss fights (only up to area level 9 so far) are amazing. The slowing down of the game allows you to feel the vibe which creates atmosphere.
pros:
Art, combat, slower pace, ability to manually dodge and block, combat again, boss fights, fact that most of the loot is usable in some way, less loot instead of whole screen of useless garbage

cons:
Still no druid
WASD controls feel great. I underestimated how great it would feel to control my character with the keyboard. Being able to strafe, backpedal, and dodge completely changes how combat works and gives me so many more options to take advantage of.
The map icons. I love knowing what I can find in a zone so I know when I'm done exploring it.
* WASD good.
* Less drops good.
* Rolling mechanic very very good, this is what ARPG should be.
* Melee experience is good. HC is enjoyable.
* Easy to farm gear and farming at lower areas allows you to destroy higher areas easily, instead of like in other games where you have to farm in every area, in POE2 you can farm one area and then destroy 5 areas ahead without any need to farm. Very good for versatility of gameplay.
