[Feedback] Actual season - overall
|
Hello there
I was quite excited about new season, until GGG said there will be no changes in endgame. With is honestly kills whole season. But point after point: Start and Campaign Campaign flow isn't so bad at all. Ramp of power grow could be a bit better. Areas of ACT3,4 smaller. Annoying teleport into past-now for merchant sale is still present. But overall game experience feels good. Much work in campaign invested... Well done. But here good things ends. Campaign isn't finished yet, I understand that. But for gods sake why I have to be forced to do it again and again. Another issue with campaign - storytelling just didn't fits into this genre of games. No cutscenes, no emotions, no expressions, no rememberable characters. Only plenty of bubble text. That's 80's. And its reason why I generally lost link of story somewhere in act3. Just bored from endless bubble-dialogs. Its pretty hard to enjoy story with that, especially when gameplay is long enough (I've return from work - play for 3-4h at night and again next day, and next...). And TBH without story the campaign feels like endgame without drops and power (with makes it feel good) and reminds me times of WoW quest leveling from TBC era. Just do this, kill that, activate those and again... Boring as hell and leads to sprint to goal - kill everything, do goal - sprint again. Still missing campaign skip = no alts Druid I'm not fan of druids in any game I've played. So I don't care about. Trials Mandatory of Trials with is still the absolutely worst part of the game, worst experience of gaming I've remember so far since God of War and his unfamous Path of Hades... Please again, give us opportunity to gain points different way than this crap. Costs me first div each season :D Season mechanics Temple in campaign feels good, stop rewards you at atc3. Ok resolved (maybe.. I don't know, I don't want to do another campaign again). At the endgame since path it was trash, unrewarding and gap between investment of time and reward was big enough to fit biggest mama into. Now it have drops, it feels better. Before path - explanations simple didn't exist, now it have some ... finally ty Mechanics feels still a bit MEH, but it could be feeling preserved form pre-path. Endgame 0.3 endgame wasn't bad at all. Now its a bit better because of new atlas part (abyss). Endgame gameplay of stormweaver with I play, feels worse than before. Forced combo style just didn't fit into my style. Its not hard, and its pretty powerful of course. Clear speed is good enough (could be better), Bosses dies within 3rd second. But somehow it feels bad, combine 9 spells to trigger instant kill or clear screen, after some time it feels annoyingly exhausting. On season 0.3 it was 3 spells combo, 5 boss spells combo. Now for clearing is 5 and boss 9. At it have of course unwanted consequences like visual clarity was totally doomed. Mostly I die because of some effect with I didn't see. No chance of seeing it because of sparks, frost bombs, arcs, OOS and other effects from mobs and maps. Technical Faced many tech issues, but overall its much better. thanks for that! Most annoying issue now is some strange shader flickering resync. Just spikes in many situations when occurs many effects and it looks like sync problem with constantly kicking me back, prolonging cooldowns or make spells not castable (just game ignore keyboard hit, need to hit that spell 3-5 times). In some situations my system just stop rendering spells effects at all or most of them. Looks funny when everything dying but usually I die too, because i didn't see some effect, with kills me. Overall This season have some seriously very good points. Very good improvement in performance and others. But in a way of fun from game itself, its worst yet. Its a crap sadly. TBH I really don't think GGG can handle PoE and PoE2 both. I think that both games must suffer hard from that. That is my personal opinion.
Spoiler
Stormweaver 88lvl Overall since EA release played stormweavers (95,97lvl) only. Each season one except 0.2 with was crap too.  Never played PoE1 longer than 45min. Last edited by yetyzyma#6701 on Dec 19, 2025, 8:08:37 AM Last bumped on Dec 19, 2025, 8:07:01 AM
