Game sucks

Pathing in the Atlas just feels horrible. I spend nearly an entire evening pathing towards a citadel just to be roadblocked at the last minute. Why? What benefit does doing this to players give you. It's just a big middle finger.

End game is limited as it is. Fine, It's early access so i wouldnt expect anything fully fleshed out but why have you made it so prohibitively expensive to do it? You can buy a full end game build for the cost of doing arbiter or king of the mists even once. Make the keys more common, make the loot raree. Easy fix. Then we all get to play the game.

On the citadel note, if i one shot the boss into phase 2 why do i have to spend 30 seconds dodging around. God forbid i mess it up even once because literally any attack will one shot me. I got the ice dog thing to phase 2, the moment he transformed he turned around and INSTANTLY killed me with what looked like a basic slash. I even turned off deadly evolution, ran a T15 map, and took my 10/10 map bosses completely off. Capped res, 20% armour, 6k ES, and got one shot. Nice one, play spark or gtfo i guess?

There's 3 viable builds in end game, which means loot just sucks all the time. OO nice pair of rare gloves? doesnt matter, EVERYONE is using HOWA. Nice chest dropped? doesnt matter, everyone is using invictus. Nice belt.. dont even get me started.

You said you wanted ground loot to be exciting, yet here i am with my fairly stacked monk with 4 non-unique items on him. 2 rings, an amulet (which could be upgraded to anm astramentis unique) and some boots. Thank god for loot filters. All of these uniques are boring as well. raw stats and % increase stats. Very fun.

Also how am i supposed to make money in this game? Do i farm 550 exalted orbs and convert them into a divine orb one at a time? Cause selling rares aint it, divine orbs are dropping once every 4 hours. Rarity 150% and fully juiced corrupted waystones and 2-3 towers not enough?

Also why the hell can i not afford to even defer your stupid omens when they actually do drop. I'm 8/8 and it costs 2.7k to defer the whittling omen? Imagine my exitement when after 200 ritual maps i finally got ONE good item from them just to not be able to afford it, despite a 30 divine investment in the atlas tree killing king of the mists.

Trading also sucks. No one wants to buy rares anymore. For some reason your trade site still thinks 200 exalted orbs is equivalent to 1 divine. No one is leaving their map to make a 5-10 exalt sale which means no one is buying any t15 maps, trials / sekhemas keys. Yay for dump tabs absolutely inundating the market with 1 exalt crap making it nearly impossible to scroll down to actual players who would sell you it. Just make a trade site, F this friction nonsense you've got PLENTY OF THAT ALREADY IN THE GAME.

Why is my tempest flurry getting stuck on every single pebble and pixel?

Why does everything i craft just end up with evasion or accuracy or mana leech

Why do i lose my map when i die. I want to play with my friends but i guess now i'll just chill in the hideout while they finish the map off. You had a working system in PoE 1 why have you done this???

It's not like you havent had 13 years of player fed back going into this, idk why you decided to just reinvent the wheel but you did it square shaped.
