95lvl Infernalist standard league

Hello GGG and all players. I appreciate yesterday's stream and announced changes. I had as much fun, as I did in many moments in the game. Kudos to you.

I will point it out at the very beginning. Please don't do to PoE2 what Blizzard did to D3, D4 and present WoW. Don't make a game for a "modern" audience. Don’t. Please. Don’t.

All the complaints about: one death per map; experience penalty; too low (and too high at the same time) drop; Trialmaster difficulty; Sanctum and/or Ultimatum difficulty; I don’t know what else difficulty; no ascendancy respec; they all follows from misunderstanding of the game genre and origin. Please ignore those vocal modern voices and make the game like YOU want to play.

But, PoE2 is not perfect. Especially technical. (Rig bellow)

I had a lot of game crashes. Even after fresh reinstall Windows 10, game condition is fully unacceptable.

Game performance is also below expectations. Especially in party with one or more summoners. I can and will improve my PC but it's probably a little better than average according to Steam stats anyway.

Minions are too slow and I guess they don't scale with players movement speed. Even with Relentless Fallen they are much too slow. I have enough DPS for easy boost a few players in Ultimatum and Triallmaster, but I can’t solo finish Breach +4 due to their lack of movement speed and continual resurrect timer reset.

Minions get stuck absolutely everywhere. Doors, passages, small objects like Expedition’s objects on the ground. Even about each other. They cannot walk diagonally in some of passages (Crypt map). All of these moments are harder than the map bosses.

Proposed runes change option without any cost is a bad design choice. There should be an equivalent Hel D2 rune. Not just mindless and free clicking. Every action should have some consequences. Otherwise it is worthless.

Despite many, many respecs, I have too much gold. 7,4 million. The penalty for death should be not only the loss of 10% experience, but gold also. Like in D2. In endgame there is no reason to sell items to a vendor.

Price fixing and just typical price scamming are omnipresent. Game desperately need AH functionality embedded in the website.

Rig: i5-12400, 2x8GB 3200 cl.15, GTX 1660 Super, Samsung 980, Windows 10

They'll get there for us eventually it's good it's EA. When it becomes Free to Play the player count is gonna sky rocket and we will have a much more polished version of the game. It will be great. I am all for Johnathan and Marks vision of what PoE2 should have been PoE1 OR the true predecessor of Diablo 2. It looks like it's headed closer that way.. my only gripe is I want food PvP like D2 has... I still play D2 when I wanna PK. It would be awesome to have that here but the game needs to be slowed down a bit more to achieve that right pace.

Same actually but I’m also assuming we’ll get a gold sink like Settlers at some point which would be fantastic. Having to make choices with gold felt great vs simply losing it personally, but I agree we need something more to do with it before we all end up with 1B 😂
