Stopped playing 2 weeks ago...

Saw the update and decided to see what was up...
And nothing important was actually addressed. Its a wet band-aid on a self-inflicted wound.

1: Performance STILL SUCKS. Its basically unplayable at endgame on my ps5. Johnanthan literally said GGG was developing with consoles in mind. Well, when is that happening? Honestly, it has gotten WORSE instead of improving... unlike every other early access/beta game I've ever played. I simply wont buy any MTX until the game is playable. I would gladly play on my PC instead, but GGG wants ANOTHER 30 DOLLARS LOL to use my account on PC. I feel cheated and lied to about the console thing. Ill continue to play and promote other developer's games that actually perform as advertised. PoE 2 is not worth paying for in its current state on console.

2: (the patch) Towers are gone, but the underlying mechanism still sucks: tablets. On console, we cant use trade market search to find the best mods so I have been stuck with the garbage drops of largely useless trash that just gets deleted when I use reforge. Quant and rarity should be omitted completely and simply be a baseline on the map level. Having to juice to hit 3 tablets and end up one shot out of nowhere because all my 50 waystones have -13resist +30 monster/chaos/ele damage isnt fun. I cant get better gear because everything cost 20+ div a piece and I have had 5 or so drop from campaign to like 20hrs in t15s. Consoles, again, are at a HUGE, seemingly intentional (because why), disadvantage in the trade league (most popular/played). If i could buy all the good quant and rarity mod tablets LIKE EVERY PC PLAYER, then this wouldnt be so much of an issue.

3: Screen clutter still sucks. Kinda goes back to #1. I cant see sht because its all convoluted on the screen. The game was sold to me as "methodical, visceral combat" but at endgame, that simply doesnt exist. Yall made PoE 1 Remake, not PoE 2. Again, I was sold a different product than advertised. I played 1 a bit but didnt really like the mindless zap zap zap slot machine style gameplay and LOVE THE POE 2 CAMPAIGN. Why did endgame have to become a 1 button 1 shot 1 life slot machine when the campaign is SO MUCH FUN??? Severely disappointed in GGG on this one. It's like baking a chocolate cake and then pulling it out of the oven and it turns into a hotdog.

That's really it, guys. Performance, endgame, and end game combat/performance.
Make the game you sold to me the game that you advertised and I will buy supporter packs for friends and my kids. Im nobody special so I dont think GGG really cares when they have all these streamers glazing them every time they do a patch like this that doesnnt actually address the issues, but whatever.
I know Im not the only console player that feels this way and if these issues arent addressed on full release, the poor reviews will reflect it.
I have 900+hrs and hope it wasnt all in vain. Ive had a lot of fun (in campaign, leveling/making builds) and hope the terrible performance and boring endgame doesnt keep me from playing another 900.
