Elements of PoE 1 you DON'T want to see in PoE 2, ever

just wanted to add to the above discussion that i don't think the majority have gripe with fast gameplay. its about screen being clusterfkd to the point that you don't see anything at all and your actual GPU having issue to display all the elements correctly. this is due to accumulation of skills spam and mob density, sadly by the looks of it, both are still on the table in poe2 as seen in the official game play footage, which is even more alarming as those used to be rather 'mild' in the past even in poe1

I would like to never see Animate Guardian again or the one-time-use Ritual specters. Really anything where you need to spend time/currency acquiring it, and then it can just be deleted randomly. This is especially the case with Specters as you can accidentally delete the thing just by doing a gear swap while in a map or in your hideout.

Those mechanics are the core reason I haven't played minions in ages.

Also any ability/item which feels mandatory to be effective as a given build archetype (like AG has been for minion builds for ages. Like melee totems were before Settlers).

Ritual specters, if swapped, or if the gem was taken out, create bodies in your hideout. Don't know about maps, though.
But i agree, they give too much in their current state and that makes Ritual kinda necessary, if you want to gear up your summoner.

AG, on the other hand, rewards you for your knowledge of the game and doesnt give that much (except clearspeed).

After certain point I do dislike fast gameplay. If the gameplay is so fast that I barely can register what is on screen. It becomes horrible for me. What is the point of wanting good graphics and animations if you cannot see it?

The speed can be reasonably fast, but if you watch a video and you cannot even identify the monsters without pausing.. then there is something wrong.

random 1 shot mechanics that makes no sense or see when you have 15k health & 90% max defense all around and get 1 shot

why i stop playing

Those annoying drummers in town, I want them removed.

Yeah those drummers I want them gone too. Or make them just play sound to the owner.

Tormented spirits, boss touched or any of these moronic mechanics.

It is so bad balanced that some of them become stronger than Uber Pinnacle bosses.
