Early Access Feedback - hate the new map system - Forum

as of today, i 100% agree. the current atlas UI is beyond bad on multiple fronts, navigating it being the biggest menace. I can see some potential of it but its rather far fetched considering the glaring inherent drawbacks from this 'infinite' approach. it feels like they took poe1 atlas with sextants and made a painting out of it. its pretty but you don't want to touch it	Posted by AintCare#6513 on Jan 24, 2025, 8:48:38 PM Quote this Post

(The relic "skip/take" crafting is also stolen.) The tier drops is kinda stolen, but actually in POE it drops as complete garbage right now. (but I expect it to be fixed at some point). This what they call "vision" is more or less "other people's vision", incorporated into POE 1 by force, and as you can see the end result of this copulation...

Essentially all games borrow from others. Wait until you find out what every single RPG is borrowing from.	Posted by Nonsense867#6967 on Jan 24, 2025, 8:59:15 PM Quote this Post

So it is neither unexpected, nor undeserved to steal back what is good. But the question is - does this fit other parts of POE or not. I have mixed feelings...

But POE dev team (incompetent as it is to make POE 2 running smooth) is very good at implementing new league twice a year. (And I include here sound, graphics, marketing, everything really.) This makes them keep high player base. Yes, they need to invest continuous engineering effort. But they kept their game going. Last epoch did not.
