0.2 feedback

Here is my feedback of this patch. Total playtime as of writing 2d 15h 7m. In T15 can clean peaty fast with one - two tapping's any mob, except rare and boss.

One day more or less for complain. Total garbage. No loot to choose from, no currency to "craft" with, no rares to salvage for regals. It felt like 0.1 pre-patch.

Now to the end game.

It seem like a doge was rollbacked to prior 0.1 update. Can get overwhelmed by mobs in box and can't do shi*t. it used allow us to roll out of this situations now we can't.

Crafting - non existing. Fractured orbs are ok & good addition, but there is nothing to fracture since all we can do is exalt (RNG) slam. Essence is one time use WTF. Recombination I had high hopes - foolish of me to trust GGG with POE2 :D . The chance of 2mods are ~3% of success. Are ducking kidding me. So it is pointless system as of it is now.

Atlas tree - still boring and useless, I am for one big ass giant tree with all mechanics. To split atlas tree was / is the dumbest idea in my opinion.

Mapping - maps them self's are way better than 0.1. Kudos for that. Maps don't feel that empty, but still too big. Suggestion - reduce them a little bit.
Towers - needs to go. Remove them and maybe something like scarabs? If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Breach - it was the must FUN, now it is boring and lame. No big density - sad face.
Ritual - got better regarding positioning, no more half circles or very little of them. Rewards still suck.
Delirium - unchanged Boring.
Expedition - unchanged Boring.

Rare affixes - Hate that evasion affix. You have to be face to face with mob to hit it. The rest seamed - okeyish.

On death effects / explosions - Some are invisible, and it is HARD TO SEE little explosives - grenade. Visibility should be improved on those.

Currency / loot - even in T15 I find my self scrapping for regals and alcs. WTF. In maps we should not be picking every rare just to salve for regals. WTF. There is no dopamine of loot. The only GOOD dopamine is gamble strongbox / chest. The rest is total garbage. I assume it will be adjusted in 0.2g patch.

Tier X item - still dropping useless stats. Like light radius are you ducking me? In tier 5 item i suspect top affixes with very good rolls...

Gameplay - I find my self getting animation cancelling when enemy hits me. If we are forced to do "meaningful combat" / "combos" allow us to do. Don't move mobs around the screen from one edge to another (TP) & don't cancel our animations.

Whips - don't work / to slow. Usless.

TLDR:
Game is boring as hell. No "dopamine" drops / active trade
Felt like a stagnation.
Too much friction / slowdowns everywhere
Combos are not fun / getting animation cancellations
Crafting is missing.
Gear is stale - due to lack of crafting. The only crafting options are the omens. But they are impossible to find (the ones which are used for real crafting not for "your next alc will fill all prefix / sufix"

Good job for EHG for good Last Epoch patch. TAKE NOTES FROM THEM GGG. You where the at the top, but now you are the bottom and becoming "diablo like..." not in a good way. Lets see if you stay at the bottom or will you rise and take the throne back. This patch SUCKS so hard until now.


P.S. A lot of MTX still missing...

You just made me think of an incredible idea -

what if like Atlas tree, we could start from anywhere with any character on the passive tree. Every single option restricts your gameplay options way too much. I think this would be an absolutely awesome idea that would increase build diversity by a lot.

Not only could they let us start from anywhere, but even after choosing a notable, we could still choose other character notable branches with passive tree points after that.

I think this would be brilliant. Just my thoughts

Terrible idea.
