[400h later] Top 5 W's & Top 5 Improvement opportunities + Why I'm dropping out until next patch.

+1, very well said, OP.

I think Johnathan and Mark have said that the current crafting is too far on the RNG side, and some determination would be good to add. I completely agree with you that we don't want full determination, but some would be great.

Honestly, I think the crafting mechanics on omens should be taken out of omens, and omens should be more battle-situational, like if you die or have low life, or kill a rare enemy of a certain type. Like, "Next time you kill a rare skeleton, 3-5 exalts will drop."

The current crafting mechanics in omens should replace the current essences. So basically, if you apply this essence type, you turn a normal item into a rare item with 3 suffixes and 1 prefix. Basically, the same as PoE1 essences, in that they were like upgraded alcs.

I play with 2080 and a ryzen 5 5600g and i dont have any issues but i stay locked at 60 fps since my 2nd monitor is just a 60hz.


It's fun that you wrote exactly what shouldn't be written when there are these problems, you're a cliché.

also agree the optimization is hot dog water. I have a 5800x3D and a 7900xt and it runs like total dog shit on certain maps/layouts/mechanics

I'd definitely go for this.

Either way, crafting doesn't even bother me personally that much as I don't do it, but I tried to make this as holistic as possible and cover all key elements and how it affects not only 12h+ a day no lifers like me but also your average Joe.

The toughest cookie for me is knowing 90%+ of people won't really get to enjoy peak PoE experience because either 1. real knowledge and growth is reserved only to elites and 2. because economy and how the drops are laid out and their rarity doesn't allow it.

Yeah I was close to updating to a 9800x3d but my setup -should- run this smoothly at 144 stable fps max resolution.
