New to POE2 Feedback

This is my first ARPG so I'm a bit of a n00b here but here is my 2 cents, it's probably all stuff thats been said many times before because a lot of it is obvious but.... there we go.

Campaign:

The maps are too big and convoluted. It's getting really tedious playing through it and this is only my second time through.

I know you cant skip it and I appreciate the love and attention to detail that's gone into it

I also think the difficulty is ok - I like a challenge

End Game:

There is some fun here but it needs to be tighter.

It's still tedious travelling and juicing. The improvements to towers help a bit but I really think towers should have the Grand project bonus built in allowing you to travel to any node in range. I think this on its own would relieve most of the frustration.


Movement Speed:

I really enjoy trial of the Sekhemas... why ? Because once you get some good boons the game plays more enjoyably.

Movement speed is a big one here: Increase the base movement speed 20% and add movement speed of 20-40% to ALL boots as an implicit.


Item Rarity:

remove as a mod and add it somewhere else, pick an item type and add it as an implicit to all items of that type or add a new item that is just for this stat.


Stun Locking:

I'm not 100% sure but it seems like all enemy hits can interrupt you, I believe this is tied to your stun threshold , either get rid of this, or reduce it, or only have it happen rarely from powerful attacks.

Strongboxes:

I pretty sure this is broken somehow with regards to the atlas tree and uniques. I've seen this posted LOADS and have had the same frustrating experience - it's hard to know with RNG - but it SEEMS like the atlas tree breaks the unique spawns, it also seems that lower tier maps spawn the uniques more.

Also Slamming exalts on strongboxes ALWAYS ends in a loss, very disappointing.

Trading:

For the love of whatever deity you worship add an in game market! The website solution is awful.

The market orders should fulfil even if you are offline, so you can log in and see what has sold. and your money / items are waiting for you.

You shouldn't have to wait for people to reply.

Add auctions.

If the system HAS to use the website then add this functionality to that at least.

PLEASE!

Unique's:

These badly need a rework - I've collected 300 this league and they have 99% been completely useless. Unyque's should be WORTH finding and match or better Rare item usefulness AT LEAST. As it stands they are just a complete waste of time.

I like having the high end ones to chase, but the fact that I've got level 93 and not found ONE good unique is pretty crushing. I still get a little thrill when I find one but it's always a disappointment.

Crafting:

Is horrible. Completely frustrating and inaccessible.

I have been very unlucky this league with loot, and barely have enough currency to flesh out my build, let alone spend it trying to craft / gamble.

Recombining gear and watching it disappear, slamming exalts and watching lower attribute appear etc is just a terrible player experience.

If you don't have a TONNE of cash to spend its just not viable and even then most of the time the cost out weighs what you end up with.

Even the Expedition crafting is an exercise in frustration, no i don't want to reroll the best stats, oh and I cant skip it.

This is NOT crafting its a fruit machine.
