Things that make this game feel bad to play.

Now there are many small cogs that make this machine that just drains me when i play the game , to the point that after a map today i just said , yeah i dont want to do this anymore (not forever) just now.

i will try to breakdown what leads up to this but i will probably miss many important points.

Story/Acts : The process is slow and taxes the motivation to play , even for a no lifer like me , cant imagine what it does for a casual . they probably to do the story and quit . ( Movement speed on every Boot would improve this exp. by 20% at least) (its not rewarding , loot needs to be better)

Endgame: Many many little things.

Rare monsters that are faster then the dodge roll or the base run speed of the player should not spawn with some mods like the one Blue ring that siphons mana.

Monster slams need a big rework , considering the dmg of the slam even on white mobs , they need to be slower and more visually clear where the slam is going to land .

effect from monsters sometimes cannot be seen , like there was a bloody body pile up after i cleared a bunch of mobs , everything was dead on the floor ,
with nothing happening , and out of nowhere something explodes under my feet with red and kills me.

Maps in the endgame map system are in general too big . reduced size of maps or some alternative for when i wanna log in and blast for 15, 20 even 40 minutes .
i dont wanna spend that time getting lost on some huge map. (maybe an alternative endgame activity where the zone is like the beach from poe 1 , or bloodwood i think , a straight line) (maybe even a timer that counts up and leaderboards idk something fun)

I try to trade , but trading is more horrible then ever , Just expand the currency exchange to include items , its as simple as that .

Bad and/or Irrelevant Loot , Getting 900 gold from a rare , Fighting a map boss for 5 minutes barely surviving just to get items that i have no reason to even pick off the ground , clearing a 30 minutes maze of a map , and when i leave it all i have out of it is bunch of augment orbs and skill gems of the same level that i already have. Etc. LOOT is BAD.

Crafting , when someone says crafting in a game i imagine a process where i make something nice , not click two orbs on an item and depending on huge rng its just junk , that is not fun , and there is no crafting there.

EXP penalty with limited portals ,and limited amount of maps( that differ in value) feel bad , more importantly they amplify stress when anything goes wrong from the problems above and problems other players post ) the penalties in this game are just a Stress multiplier with no reward behind them.

game optimization is bad . i cant disable things like shadows , i have decant pc , but i still have to cap my fps to 75 , and when things go crazy on the screen fps still drops , not to mention half of the days servers are bad.

Servers are bad when i enter a map often ping is normal when i move it jumps to 60-80, When i attack mobs it starts to ping pong and slow down the game 40ping all the way to 300, and often everything just stops i get Dced lose my map and all loot.(i tested my internet speeds , connection all of that , nothing wrong on my part)

Dodge rolling is so so slow , and if monsters have any type of slow-down effect its just horrible . i hate it .

if i had to pinpoint one over-arching problem in the game , is that the game just feels horribly slow and that makes it boring and stressful .

All of this little things working together at the same time and also what others are saying , make it so i just cant stand playing this game for more then 1-2 maps a day anymore . not in this patch .
