List of Poe biggest flaws - add yours

obtaining fusing orbs

Un-nerf enchroching darkness card.

Revert exp needed at lvl 95-100 back to 3.0.

Up higher tier map drops.

Revert Jewel drops back to 3.0.

Rethink the whole elder/shaper bullsh_t.

Lots of trade improvements needed.

Ban pricefixxers.

Every 3-4 leagues do a legacy league of some type.

Remove accendenies from lab.

raise monster life.

Improve boss drops.

Revert 90% of ES nerfs back to 2.9.

These are just some of the things that come to mind.

Damage.

Almost every aspect of damage is broken in poe. Players deal too much damage, so do enemies. Damage nodes on the skill tree have become almost completely pointless and are one big noob trap.
stat sticks nullify whole archetype builds, while skills like molten strike, barrage or skills that have additional exclusive multipliers in general rule supreme.

Reverting back the ES nerfs would be such a bad idea. Currently 2 classes can reach stupid level of ES, something along the line of 12k-15k pretty easily. If the old ES items are brought back these classes would need to get nerfed and their appeal would vanish. If anything GGG can buff Trickster's ES gain and tone down his evasion so 3 classes can go the ES route. But dialing back to the old times when marauders went full ES? Fuck no.

Invulnerable phase bosses.

Lack of UI customization.

I want the old basic UI, even release UI would be fine.

Being able to modify text, etc. other things, remove graphics or place elsewhere on screen. The modability for end user is severely lacking.

- repeating the campaign for every new char is a nonsense, would be nice to run it just once.

- would be nice to have an in game auction house for: maps, currency, crafting mats, essences etc.

- cut the crap, 75% of uniques are just garbage -.-

- a proper crafting system not RNG based.

100% of the endgame content gated behind super retarded RNG.

Batshit idiotic trading system. If you can even call spending half of your game time alt-tabbing and visiting stupid 3rd party websites to copy/paste some bullshit and wait 30 minutes for some shithead to answer you a "trading system". And that is only after you deal with the annoying price fixers, scammers and "you profit 35 chaos" morons. God forbid you are some casual scrub who plays standard, you have to pay an extra fee so His Highness can be bothered to click 3 times with their mouse to bless you with their presence (honestly, why is standard even in the game?). And don't you dare mention the dreaded words "automated offline trading system aka auction house" because you will be dogpiled by the fanbois with their "muh playur interacshun" nonsense and "B-B-BUT DIABLO 3 AUCTION HOUSE SUCKED, therefore no other game in the history of ever can possibly make an auction house that works" (let's ignore the hundreds of other games that did an auction house properly, it's an inconvenient fact that screws the fanbois narrative).

Complete lack of diversity of skills and builds and slowly turning into Diablo 3. "Hey, I wanna play an archer, look at all these awesome skills, look at all these amazing bows! Let's check the great variety of builds everyone is playing and pick one at poe-racing.com. Oh... everyone and their dog and the kitchen sink is a deadeye... Everyone is tornado shot... Everyone is Windripper... Nevermind...".

One-shot. What kind of stupid mechanics is this? And no, I'm not talking about shit budget build that fails to kill Minotaur because he went there with 3k HP and 500 armour. I'm talking about nonsense like "Hey, what is this totem doing ther... NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED... *erased from existence*... Oh... I see...". Or "Let me click that box... SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION... *deleted from the planet*...". One shot mechanics is the dumbest thing that you could have in such game. There is no skill involved, there is no tactics or strategy, there is just stupidity...

General itemization. Let's cut the crap here. If there were no filters, no one will be playing this game. Have you tried playing without filter and doing a breach for example? Yeaaa, good luck with that. And for what? 99.999999999% garbage that if not for the filters will flood your screen and probably crash your game because there is SO F-ING MUCH. And don't get me started on the uniques. 99.999999999% useless. There are like 10 uniques worth picking that drop once per 10 thousand hours play time anyway, the rest is vendor trash or filtered. Well, at least Bestiary "fixed" that problem, gotta pick all of the garbage now because someone thought it was a great idea to royally screw the drop rates of currency and maps...

NWM, this game cannot even load itself in current state properly.
Going CDT on alt-tabbing.

Disconnecting and erazing zombies and golems on changing areas. After 3th try to cross torched courts and finallly made it to square, finally saved location.. I went to easiest first lab to ascend, aaaand was killed by lag on traps without any usual spawn in town/checkpoint choice-menu to proceed. Thats it. I`m not crying about lab, its ok, Made it many times before, lab is good. But it was never so bad performance before. Need to say I`m getting better performance, when I rising resolution and stuff on settings? looool This thing needed serious reprogramming involved. Not feeling like a product anymore, its just a mess.

Cya game, but now seems likely uninstalling will help the most for now xD


p.s.
And I`m not speaking gameplay flaws like

- Useless bosses what is not worth visiting at all,
- Beyond sane mods on monsters whats not possible to kill normally (and its not really rare thing)
- `Crafting` what is not crafting actually but slot machine wasting resources,
- Too much time needed to trade (literally hours of alttabbing and copypasting to reequip char to next lvl of difficulty) - thats why many players are just avoid to trade,
- Awful drop where 99,99% of items are just trash,
- Useless `masters` what sells trash too, even cannot buy needed maps and zana not scaling with player properly oh and selling 5 maps a day only one of them highest she can do is tier 6 - this it pure lol. And to any real master and crafter I can make a request and book item forged with stats I needed and requested, and it will be shipped in time if its a master actually.. but how is this here? I know, I know..
- Also, yes after like 3-5 times to run 10 acts its all story is getting to induce vomiting slowly. Groundhog day repeating is not really good idea after all.
- Strange thing about intelligence. Why its not adding dmg to spells like str does to melee attacks??
- Also annoying to force spawn in towns on logins, not in my hidey. (At least afted story finished, or just make it in command line or in advanced options). Its even more annoyng cuz of constant crowds in there with so `amazing` show offs what feels like mad circus. Worse what I cannot disable all this dazzling masquarade. Tho I loved too..

I wrote all this jus cuz the core idea of the game is quite good and really awesome. Starting with the colossal and appealing skill tree whats hell yeah. But so many flaws atm I not remembered even many of em.. its just so good game can be after all from this one!

1. no automated trading system
2. to many crap unique items that drop to often
3. screwed tiers of uniques - finnaly getting mjolner to drop as T1 unique and it's worth is 1c
4. skills like freezing pulse and all other with treshhold jewels should get those mechanics through levels, and quality should be only obtained through GCP-s like 2% increased damage per 1 quality up to 50. that would be decent currency sink

5. no good currency sinks, orbs are used almost exclusivly as money / gold for purchasing items
6. content gated by rng - i mean how stuipd this is?
7. items should have more options to be upgraded through orbs

8. competition is almost non exitant anymore.....first race to 100 which Baker won on HC was epic, climbing the ladder in more then 1 year was awesome.....rips mattered but you could also get back even though you riped.....now there are hundreds and hundreds of players sharing lvl 100....first one thousand of players at the end of league are all lvl 99-100......obviously this prolly wont happen in bestiary since league is shit and A LOT of people stopped playing......imagine world cup in soccer where 10 teams would be sharing first place

9. nerfing CI to the point that almost noone plays it removed last fun known as crafting in this game

10. Divination cards should be tier orientated.....meaning headhunter cards could drop only in tier 14+ maps, kaom's heart in like 10+ maps, exalt cards too, T1-T5 should drop lower value cards, T6-T10 should all drop mid tier value cards

11. Masters and Zana are outdated

12. So many skills are awfull which in turn leaves only like 10-15 skills huge majority people use, which makes game stale as fuck

13. new economy in leagues?.....those crumble in matter of few days.....also there are always many bugs and exploits that few people find and then create huge advantage over everyone else

14. leagues like bestiary is something i can't figure out what were they thinking.....either they are working on many side projects like x box or creating new internet like in Silicon valley Tv show or they are completly out of any ideas for temp leagues

15. orbs are losing their value like chance orbs, gcp-s, regals and so on

16. only chase item left in the game is headhunter

17. long term goals apart from getting headhunter and maybe mirror are non exitant......how many people try to create absolute beast of a char?.....not many....game became fast food meal instead of a meal you wanna thoroughly enyoy

18. Apart from some bosses and huge number of bad mods on a map mobs do not fight back which leads to holding right mouse button for 3 minutes( avergae time to clear map imo) and then short encounter with boss where you sometimes need to wake up

19. ask yourself, if there is no challenge system in Poe, how many of you would play?......hell of a lot less....so many people play just to get 24/36/40 challenges done, and this became chore more then fun journey

20. having strong char and you are stuck because maps do not drop - this can't be worst currency sink

21. Bosses should drop better and more items....if you are afraid people would just run bosses, just make it so that you can't enter boss room if there are more then 50 mobs alive in the map

22. power creep

23. getting T16 minions to destroy lower tier content is retarded....minions should scale with zone level

24. party play is horrible these days.....4-5 years ago party play was so much fun, now it's disaster

25. not dealing with scammers, price fixers

26. what's up with everyone making their builds with mandatory 2 ventors, bisco, goldwyrm and sadima?.....where are the times people wanted items with max life/dmg?
