Feedback after 6 Campaigns and Endgame

Here are some thoughts on the Core of the game, leaving the League Mechanic to those who have spent more time there than me. All of this is after levelling 6 character through the campaign, and getting to level 90 on a couple of them.

1) Campaign needs Standardized Map Layouts. Honestly, the Campaign, every zone should have a locked layout. That way when you play alts, or new leagues, you can just zoom through because the layout is the same. You might think this is boring, but so does everyone already having to do it every league over and over. I play a lot of alt toons, and it burns me out. Some maps are very random...

Alts at the very least once campaign is completed, should start the game with all passive points unlocked, and full spirit unlocked. This would greatly speed up the starting game and acts

2) Burning Ground is just terrible design, and it hits ridiculously hard this league. With all the ground effects we as players can make, this just adds to that unnecessarily.

3) Corrupted Nexus.... If my map allows 2 revives. I should get 2 revives to win the map and get the Atlas Book. This is DUMB that you dont if you die once. This is a waste and disrespect of your players time. They can already be annoying to find.

4) Citadels.... Where are you??? Need I say more?? I kind of disagree with Tablet Juicing being locked behind Arbitor. That is unfair to casual players who may never see Arbitor. I think when you complete your first T15 Map, it should unlock.

5) Delerium now feels useless to run??? maybe thats just me. Since only used to Instill??

6) Hoping 0.5 Gives Expedition some love......

7) I wish the overrun node for abyss was more common, maybe 10%? I ran 40 maps today and it never procced once. Feels like a waste of points.

8) When a map adds its own Extra Content outside of your tablets, can you please SHOW what content is in the map on the side like everything else. Kind of annoying that I have to wait until boss kill to know what is on the map from the extra content, when I could complete the things I want before boss so not risking losing it.

9) Group Play- World drops and Abyss are effected by group play. However things like Ritual and Breach are not. Can this be fixed. When playing with friends its pretty common to just skip these mechanics as they only benefit the host. In some ways I can understand bc their atlas tree decides its perks, but I am sure there is a way to make it work??

10) Can you make Atlas progression work for Multiplayer please and thank you rather than solo for books to drop.... Unless its a bug but I tried for a while today and couldnt get boss books to drop etc.

11) Respec Costs and Trading- This is touchy I know, but Respec costs at certain level thresholds need to be reduced a lot. Especially in that 65-80 range. This is a vital area for players redefining their builds and when 300k gold you respec, and then need to buy stuff, like gems say, and its 20k a sale.... its kind of ludicrous.... At LEAST a 30-40% reduction here needs to happen.

12) Stop destroying Niche builds. We all saw what you did to Sowza's showcased build for Lich Last Lament. Now you did Dreads showcase. The community expects you to destroy it next patch. The Lament was so niche, I think it was highly disrespectful to honor him with a showcase, only to destroy him on patch notes day, OH, sry it wasnt even patch notes day, it was the day BEFORE launch when it was changed.... Slap in the face....

13) Tablet Stash when?? Abyss Stash when?? I have thoughts on Abyss Stash.... it BETTER be added to Ritual Stash Tab. A lot of omens, and there is a lot of space in Ritual. This better not be a greed thing.

14) Boots need movement implicit

15) on Console this patch, there is something weird going on with performance in Act 2, nearing the end of it. Especially on Dreadnought. Wasnt like that last patch. However, the rest of the Acts feel so much smoother, as does mapping compared to before.

16) Please for the love of all things gaming, give in, and allow both genders for each class please.... There is ZERO reason for this being a new game, not like POE 1, that this shouldnt be a thing. Its not a cosmetic reason, as they work on both on purpose. It seems to be a strictly personal reason.

Here is some context. I have a few friends who only play certain genders. Just how they game. They like the idea of POE but won't play. They love bears, but wont play as a man. etc. Ya, it would be a male witch, which is tech a warlock, but do you think the player will care? No... They just be happy their skin is whatever gender....

17) Ritual feels bad on narrow maps. No monsters etc. Or half the ritual is missing bc of a rock, or it occupies 3 rooms, and is terrible to activate bc you cant move. Maybe certain maps the zones could be much bigger? or produce % exrta tribute.

18) Wisps are terrible
