Feedback So Far

So; for context I have about 1000 hour in POE2, and Im a pretty good player (made 3 mirrors last league). This is by far the least fun myself, or any of my friends have had in POE. Im not going to complain about the bugs or the season mechanics - I have a few other gameplay concerns.

Drops: My atlas is fully completed, I know how to juice maps, I only run 6 modifier waystones, and in 200 maps I have dropped 6 divines. Six.... this is so much less than any other season ever. I had gotten three in some maps last season. I think you need to realize that people love dopamine.

Class balance: This is somehow worse than it has ever been. I really enjoyed last season because you could take any class, any ascendancy, and any skill and be able to complete the entire game. Its not that the class balance is problematic between each other, but there is some serious scaling problems with the map bosses - especially the empowered ones. With max resist, 100 div gear, and armour contributing to elemental they shouldn't one shot you with all of their mechanics - not just specifically their one telegraphed attacks - but all of them. This goes back to the dopamine: players like to feel powerful, and not weak. You should encourage this. It feels so punishing right now, and I don't think I can even enjoy any class to its fullest this season. Some minor nerfs were needed to a few mechanics last season, but the major nerfs combined with the mob buffs feels bad.

Crafting: I had so much fun crafting last season, it made so much good gear accessible. I was able to make money crafting, I was able to craft my own gear, I was able to change to affixes I wanted. Crafting is decidedly worse and I am not having any fun with this.

Anyone can call me a noob, or to get good, and thats a weird take, but OK. I genuinely would love to get this feedback in, and I know I am not the only one.

mirror farming =/= good player

>Crafting was good last season
>Looks inside
>100 types of some stupid orbs and the outcome is a complete casino

This crafting is the most dogwaterpoopoo crafting I've ever seen in video games. It was a turd in POE1, it's same turd in POE2.

yea this game isn't fun anymore I'm re-deleting it. they don't seem to care to make it fun nor balanced. just look at the state of deadeye every patch they just don't care.
