Feedback on Path of Exile 2 Early Access

Hey there, just wanted to drop some feedback about Path of Exile 2 from my time in early access. Honestly, the game has some big issues that really need fixing ASAP.

1.Minion Pathfinding: The pathfinding for minions is terrible right now. They get stuck, wander off, or just act weird, which makes playing with minions super frustrating. This needs to be fixed fast because it’s making minion builds a pain to play.

2.Endgame Content: The endgame is a huge letdown. It’s just the same maps with slightly different layouts, which gets boring really quickly. There’s no excitement or variety, and it makes grinding feel like a chore. On top of that, the endgame mechanics feel overly punishing, especially with things like "One Death Maps," where dying results in big losses. It’s frustrating and takes away from the fun of progressing through challenging content.

3.Trial of the Sekhemas: This trial is just plain stupid and a complete waste of time. It’s not fun, and I wouldn’t recommend playing it at all—0%. It feels like it’s designed to punish you more than provide any real challenge or reward. On the other hand, the Chaos Trial is a little better since it doesn't punish you for getting hit. Instead, it’s just about managing buffs and debuffs. But even there, you often get punished more than you benefit, which makes both trials more frustrating than enjoyable.

4.One-Hit Kill Mobs: Seriously, the mobs that can kill you in one hit are just stupid. It doesn’t feel fair at all, and it ruins the fun when you’re constantly getting blindsided like that.

5.Netcode Issues: The netcode is a mess. For example, when I cast a fireball and it multiplies into 300 projectiles, the server just can’t handle it, and everything lags or crashes. It’s super frustrating when you can’t even play properly because the server takes a dump whenever there’s too much action going on.

6.Unrewarding Gameplay: The game doesn’t feel rewarding enough, especially with item drops and progression. Grinding feels more like a chore than an exciting challenge. The developers need to strike a better balance to make the effort feel worthwhile.

7.Costly Respecs: The cost to respec your character is way too high, which discourages players from experimenting with different builds. This limitation takes away from the fun of trying out new strategies and styles.
