Lets talk about fun GGG

So just wanted to break it down for you since you want to stay silent through the non stop threads about XP loss and how it ruins the fun of the game. Don't you guys remember as a kid when you would rush home to play a video game because you had so much fun playing it? That is not POE2

The fact is it should be what people run home to play but there are many underlying issues with your ideology of the game and your focus. Clearly you want to make money right cause you are a business so granted we can understand some things but lets go through all the failures of the game right now as it stands.

#1 Biggest issue in the entire game EXP LOSS ON DEATH! Why is this the biggest issue of POE2? Well frankly its due to the prime reason of progressing through the entire game then hitting a wall because you die a few times here and there but lose more EXP than you gain. Currently right now at level 94 after clearing 25 entire t16 maps I've gotten about 15% experience gained yet if I die 1 single time in any of the maps I lose 10% total? How does this make any sense at all? Don't get me started on how it gets even WORSE the higher the level you are.

Simple fix is remove the XP loss why does it even matter if everyone can get to level 100 or not. Why gate keep from people levels, progression, feeling the sense of accomplishment of reaching the level 100 goal which even if you never died still takes FOREVER to get to. Why are you punishing players for PLAYING your game? Its a video game there shouldn't be punishments unless you are a hardcore guy then sure but you SIGNED UP FOR THAT PUNISHMENT! Nobody and I mean nobody cares to play a game and be punished constantly by a barbaric system of XP loss.

#2 Issue is running into other players in the game. Why is this even possible? Has GGG employees ever tried to run with a group of 6? I can tell you if you did you would know how annoying it is that i get body blocked, locked into start area till the one guy blocking the path finally moves, or trying to not die cause of that problem #1 XP loss but that one guy gets in your way then you are blown up by some monster on death explosion. 0 fun yelling at people to MOVE or GET OUT THE WAY!

Simple fix remove collision from me and other players on map. I don't collide with them in town so why should i collide with them in the field, epic fail design.

#3 The loot, of course the list wouldn't be complete without the major loot problems that you are starting to fix but still failing. Why does a single item in the game cost more divines than any rational player would get legit? This forces people that have lives and a job to go to shady sites and purchase the currency needed to have "fun" in the game by getting that one item needed can anyone say sacred flame which is currently 29 divine orbs on trade site uncorrupted?

Then on top of that why is there only a few ways to obtain this item like 1 the end game boss, from a reliquary key that drops from same said end game boss, or through the trade site. Why gate keep loot and why cant it drop anywhere you know like the 100s of other unique items i always see that are complete trash?

Simple fix: Make all loot in game drop anywhere and make it so that i cannot get the same trash unique until I've gotten every single other unique in the game. For instance I shouldn't be able to open 3x Reliquary keys and get the same trash bow 3 times in a row. You even said with recent update to quote you here:

Added 132 more foiled Unique Item options that the Twilight Reliquary can yield.

Yea right buddy i got 50 reliquary keys sitting in stash right now after opening 20 of them and getting ALL the same trash foiled Unique's over and over again i gave up opening them. This brings us to the next issue in the game.

#4 The new atlas, cool design epic failure. Always glitched when you load it up same with act 2 that the map shows all glitched then fixes. Why? Don't say its my PC that cost more than most peoples cars. 0 game optimizations then to open each reliquary key i have to either one use a bookmark to travel the vast atlas that i cant even ZOOM out on farther than a fly's rear end on or two I can slide the atlas over till i find the reliquary chamber to open the map. WHY? Just let me open maps like POE1 through the map device not by being Aladdin and flying on my magic carpet across the atlas just to find some graphical tower on the map that doesn't load properly ever since release on a computer that cost more than a car.

Towers trash design boring concept just to boost maps around it on a already bugged graphically map. You could just idk maybe let me choose what maps i have breech on or any other content on like idk POE1...Ya'll trying to reinvent the wheel here which is only causing the game to fail time and time again since release.

#5 Act 3 the most hated of all acts not because of length or anything like that no because of towards the end when you open that gate to go "back in time" it changes the entire town and when you want to go talk to a NPC nope they are gone till you go back through the portal you know after you kill the boss to wind up in act 1 again starting cruel or at end game area to start maping. So when my buddy asks for help to kill the boss in act 3 if my act 3 is not set to the no NPC town i cant tp to him i have to go through the portal in town to change act 3 map back to one with npc's in it or vise versa but o wait when you go through it sends you to the next act in which i have to waste more time to go back to town to then finally tp to my buddy?

Like why is it this wasn't seen as a huge FLAG the game is broken that act 3 is BROKEN? Sure you will release more acts and it might not be a problem in future of game maybe it will be act 5 or act 6 that has the issue in the future but what I am getting at is how do you not see this as a major issue? Anyways I am going to get back to grinding because this full time job to get anywhere in your game doesn't allow folks like me that have full time job already wife kids etc. to afford to spend much time on your forums to tell you that you are sucking the life out of this game everyday with the major issue of XP loss. Just look at the hundreds of post about it on your forums alone not to mention reddit and everywhere else.

TLDR: Remove XP loss, Remove collision with other players, Loot should be available everywhere stop gate keeping loot behind trash boss's, Remove current atlas that is a joke put back POE1 maps, optimize your game act 3[Removed by Support]

Screenshotted too so i can post on reddit the proof.

Edited: Thanks got the screenshots going to post all over social media and reddit. Sad day an age where you cant ask the team making the game you play a simple question. But hey thanks for the proof

GGG is going to be ggging.
Seriously though, they need to course correct this game really quickly or we'll be looking at a train wreck.
Next season has to be good or poe 2 is a goner for at least another year.

Just let us have fun.
