Giga feedback google doc about UI/UX with pictures, gifs and stuff.

"
VERY CONDENSED TLDR:

I've made animated and non-animated changes for in-game UI / locations to discuss about:
Act selection window - https://youtu.be/rw5yi1CmZz0
Atlas window - https://youtu.be/2gOpYRJTWFM
Atlas scalable icons - https://youtu.be/iVi1Sx_0hLg
In-game Loot Highlighter - https://youtu.be/mEmVtKnJ_xI

And there is more than just UI UX in this feedback, these are just the biggest one, If you got interested, feel free to proceed further. Grab some food and drinks, it will be a long ride :D

Wow, you really went all out with this! Haven’t had time to digest everything yet, but you instantly hooked me with the "secondary tabs reset on gem remove" point—that one drives me insane and gives me the blackouts when it takes focus away from my deep theory crafting. 😂😂

During my 600-ish non-AFK hours in PoE2, I've also been taking some notes about UI quirks, common-sense tweaks (like your tab reset example), and small fixes. My list is still a draft as I was planning to make a post out of it soon. It isn’t nearly as detailed as yours, but I think there are quite a few common points. Send me a PM if you want and I'll share the draft.

Quick suggestion though: Adding a short intro about your background might help frame your feedback. Are you a UX designer, a longtime player, or just someone super passionate about polish? Either way, your ideas are solid—it’d just add context for the devs!

Can't wait to dive deeper into your doc later. This is an example of good feedback ! Hope you'll read this when your brain comes back online 😊🫡

Thx for commenting, i m not a UX designer or someone in industry of design. Just a regular Joe Average player :D Played PoE1 a bit and saw PoE2 as GGG's good opportunity to improve further, and while i might remember something wrong, but Jonathan stated that PoE2 aim is to make the game more refined experience. And their quote that "Players are good on finding issues, but not good at suggesting the solutions to fix them" So it challenged me to get up my ass and suggest something for better or for worse, idk :D Most suggestions are the things that seemingly stick out on a quick glance and stay the same attention drawer for the entire playthrough and endgame farming. So maybe i am, as you said, passionate about polishing things out, it is close to be the truth.

You said you have your suggestions too, don't hesitate to share them! I am all ears to hear any opinions.

I m trying to keep the post visible so i do read all the comments always before i bump it back to page1 on the forum table.
