Item description labels transparency (Affix Type/Tiers). Affix/Maps Tiers clarity.
|
Affix label transparency in item descriptions (this was a significant problem for me, elaboration at the end): make the tiers and affix type (prefix/suffix) LESS transparent. It is barely visible right now. If you didn't notice it on the first day in the game, you won't see it later because you do not expect it to be there, especially when it’s so stealthy or on the edge of monitor screen.
About reverse-tiering: In Path of Exile 1, it was straightforward; tiers went from big numbers to T1, which means very good. In Path of Exile 2, tiers start with T1 and go further, and you can't tell in-game if you got the best tier or not, especially if you are a newbie, because you don't know where the limit is, and different affixes have different amounts of tiers. Why not use the system from PoE1, going from the worst tiers (T##) to the best one (T1), which would also work well with the new corruption system and could make the tier T0? About map tiering: PoE1 had distinct clarity in the visual art for maps: white, yellow, red, purple. Right now, all I can see is red beet soup with Roman numerals. You can easily tell by the Roman numerals which tier you are looking at, but when you have a full stash or inventory of maps, it stops making any sense. You will lose yourself in this mess, especially if it’s a Quad Tab. You can't target tiers in any way possible by colors, and the only way left is to filter tiers via search Addition about labels and how horribel my experience was:
Spoiler
I spent about 3.5 thousand hours in Path of Exile 1. So, from the first day of PoE2, I could easily tell where the affix was and where the prefix was, and after a day, it became obvious that one came after the other, which is why the need for 6-mod items disappeared altogether. But I was wondered how some newbies in PoE2 could easily tell where the prefix was and where the suffix was. It took me two weeks to PERSONALLY see the inscriptions in the left corner of the item description window. My frinds loose his ass laughing.
And so, after three weeks in the game, a friend wondered why I went to the database site to see the tier of this or that affix, since it could be done in the game. I was sure that he was trolling me. I absolutely did not believe him; it sounded so false. I looked at all the settings in the game and did not find it, asked him to make a screenshot, but he have non-steam client and no print screen button, so he made a photo, I STILL were not able to see it. After this, he said to look at the right edge of the window, which was flush with the edge of the game window on a fullscreen monitor, to see “T#” on the right side of the item description. My mind was blown. I have good eyesight, decent attention, and a good monitor, but none of this allowed me to see these inscriptions in the first days of the game like it supposed to be. Either I am impared after 3.5 thousand hours in Path Of Exile 1, or it’s worth make labels less transparent. This is crazy!. Last bumped on Dec 26, 2024, 8:02:22 PM
