We welcome First Impression posts! Please be nice to those posts.

I started playing this game a few weeks in and love the game but there are a few things that are frustrating or annoying from my perspective:

- No information to the cause of death
Often i am One-Shot after the mob goes down or right at the moment when he is defeated. Despite this being really annoying please at least tell me why.
How am I suppossed to know which defenses are to low if i don't get the information what killed me and how?

- Yellow "Mini-Bosses" are harder to manage than the orange "Endbosses" - One-Shots on Endbosses are quite rare, but yellow mobs often do this.
And all this while Endbosses can often be avoided by simply not entering their Zone, while yellow bosses are really random. This can be really frustrating on times, especially when only playing to chill and ending up losing xp.

- Time restrictions on "Temple Incursions" and "Jun Laboratories" are frustratingly low.
Often the time limit is up before i can even kill the first boss.
(Why are there time limits in the first place and why are they so damn short?)

- Many Elements in the game aren't properly explained to newcomers.
There are many complex minigames (which is really good) but the userbased guides on the internet are often out-of-date and there are no or very few explanations ingame. (e.g. there is absolutely no ingame information about Rifts or Monoliths and what they do)

- The difficulty of the Maps is mostly fine, but the mini-bosses and monsterhordes in "special content" are often way overtuned for the advertised mob level. E.g. i can easily finish a normal map with monster level 71, but at the moment there is no way i could manage a Heist or a Temple Incursion of the same level, even without any modifiers.

- Trading should be easier or not mandatory for casual players like me, since the high-level-game seems to be balanced around gear that is hard to farm for casuals.
(At the moment I am Level 82 and can barely manage Maps with Mob Level 72 but i also haven't found any meaningful gear for at least a week...).

- If Trading can't be fixed, it would be nice to get a meaningful item reward for clearing a map for the first time, e.g. a single handpicked unique of an appropriate level to be able to have a minimum baseline for the gear.
It's underwhelming when i win against a map boss for the first time and I only get junk that is unusable in every build i can ever think of.

- I have to repeat this, because it is my absolute main concern: Dying out of nowhere without knowing why is frustrating as hell.
Please at least give me a hint what i have to fix to win against the mob...

1000%. By the way, these are issues that almost every single player in the game faces, not just newcomers.

This right here
Uninstalling for good. Sad that I will say something like "I would rather play world of warcraft than deal with PoE any longer"
I should have gave up for good when you paid random streamers to play at the start of a new league that they had never even heard of the game before, all while loyal players waited in queue after constant disconnects. Catering to streamers instead of the population of players that just want to enjoy a game.
That would save us from portaling 3 times to get to hideout and just be less loading in general, but cant have that apparently

Agreed , especially this "This can be really frustrating on times, especially when only playing to chill and ending up losing xp." and they havent even mentioned melee yrt...thats a very important topic for many of us
For the most part I've been enjoying the game BUT, it is extremely frustrating to be in the higher levels and to watch an earned level just evaporate because of a difficult boss fight. Leaves me with a very defeated feeling. Why not explore something like earning 1/2 XP until the death debt or penalty for dying is "paid off"? My reaction to this scenario is just to log out and play something else for a while. The more it happens, and the more levels I lose, the less I feel like playing.
Please consider an alternative maybe... please?

Also, what is with the occasional monster that has the unavoidable super ONE-SHOT power. Can't avoid it, can't defend against it, just... dead (and of course loss of part of an earned level). UGH!.

Thanks for listening to a new player.
It's a great league and i enjoy it a lot. It's misunderstood because it doesn't immediately shower you in riches but it's a crawl that turns into a empowered sprint. With every attempt you pick up new relics and become familiar with the different pros and cons and learn how to navigate the Sanctum in a way that compliments your build.
Please DON'T nerf it. I heard it might be tricky for some melee and some changes can be made that makes it more enjoyable for them but overall its nice and I don't find it frustrating or a waste of my time.

¤ ¤ ¤ Please make an option to or just scale the Resolve Meter down a little or move it down closer to the XP bar. I keep hoovering over it in the heat of battle when trying to click and move down/dodge. tyty

Atlas changes are good too.

Hello, how i can refund all supporter packs from my account? I don't enjoy farming t4 maps. In Steam i have 800 hour's and I have never killed a single end game boss, I just can't.
