Game needs a radical shift in direction

Huge agree on the co-op part.

If they slowed down gameplay, co-op could be really cool. But right now, one person is enough to just blow up the entire screen and everyone else can't do anything. There's zero challenge.

It would be really cool having some melee characters locking down tough large enemies, ranged people trying to pick off high priority ranged ones, spellcasters cleaning up the small enemies, debuffing them, or even healing and supporting their allies

We've never really seen that kind of gameplay in an ARPG. Slowing the game down and making enemies tankier opens up so much opportunity for defensive skills, support skills, buffs and debuffs, crowd control skills, etc.

I'd love to have dedicated healer character only for co-op play with friends

*Big good list of suggestions*

There's probably more I can list but this isn't my post

Sure it's not your thread per se, but you contributed to it with a well written post which I agree with.

I didn't play PoE 1 and I started playing EA for PoE 2 because I was told/advertised too that PoE 2 would have the things you listed in your post.

So I'm very much hoping that they actually make some of these changes.

Looks like you've never played Diablo 3 -)
It had best multiplayer experience in ARPG history ever.

I did play Diablo 3, for years. There wasn't anything like that at all; I just blew up the entire screen near instantly, even in T16 GR's.

There was before 4000000% damage mod set bonuses
Also healers should never exist.

GGG should listen to the community if they want this game to be No. 1.

1. Remove the XP penalty, and create an elite league (whatever they may call it). The league is for players who want to progress from higher level, and they can implement the xp penalty from there.

2. One shot mechanic should be removed, this is not an arcade game right.

3. Armor, and resistances are broken and should be fixed.

4. Random critical hits from mobs that can one shot your build should be fixed.

It seems you never played in group then. Because all this stuff was in multiplayer to great extent.
