Sorry guys, it just isn't fun, it's too slow and upgrading is awful

The base toon needs 30% more movement speed, the dodge roll needs a 50% animation increase, and if 'crafting' is now just yolo slamming and gambling with almost always disappointing results then those materials need to drop 4x more.

That being said I think the base game has amazing potential, I'm super pumped where this will be in time, but my first sentence is simply too significant for me to enjoy the game as of now - there's no way I can roll another toon, that grind was torturous with a few fun times.

Apologies in advance for posting what's probably said 100 other places, I'm just taking a moment for an honest quick exit review before moving on to other things.

I'll be back in a few months - I hope everyone is have a great time and Happy Holidays!

Hopefully none of your requests are catered too.
We already have PoE1 for all of the things you request.

Enjoy your holidays and enjoy PoE1.

I disagree with almost everything the OP said, except for the crafting. The crafting system in PoE 2 is atrocious - almost completely worthless through the campaign. I finished Act 3 cruel wearing most of the same gear I completed Act 3 normal on, with the exception of a staff and a new pair of boots. Level 40 items to complete a level 65 boss, and I TRIED to craft.
