Dodge roll being trash versus speed/aggressive mobs is a critical design flaw. If you don't want people to dodge roll through bosses that's fine but you can't have it be a core mechanic and then also be ass versus speedy/aggressive packs of normal monsters of which there are many. At the minimum it needs to phase through monsters. I also have a fix to their "but then you would just dodge roll everywhere" problem that made them make the second half suck dick. Brace yourselves. If you dodge roll and an attack that otherwise would have hit if you were not mid-animation instead misses you get a little speed boost and do not suffer that shitty slow down on the second half. Have the character do a little flash to indicate you should have been hit but the roll stopped it.

Since I picked this back up I've just been tinkering with some alts. Actually pushing content interests me not at all. I know people have bitched about ascendancies plenty but fuck they're horrible to have to do on alts. It's like paying a tax on every fresh reroll. Horrible.

body blocking, and collision needs to be smoothed out. its like shieldcharge all the time. dodge roll...and stop due to that tiny rock you couldn't see. needs to be hella more, "skirting around" objects and bodies when dodge rolling, or even just regular movement. theres way too much getting stuck on random shit.

I played the D4 beta but never bought the game even though from what i saw in that beta it was atleast decent-ish. I tried this free trial thing now and it's super jarring how bad it feels to play after playing poe2.
The fact you can't cast and move at the same time and your character doesn't face towards the mouse (with wasd movement) just instantly feels awkward. The first boss in the tutorial dungeon does nothing, i had no reason to try and dodge anything. I came to kyovashad and found a treasure goblin that shit out so much stuff. All in all i uninstalled the game after that.

Now with poe 2 i agree with a lot of whats being said. The endgame is not in a good place, act 1 is the best++. Magic find is stupid and it imo ruins the economy. Passive tree is bland and energy shield is too good etc etc etc. But it actually plays amazing before peoples builds and mobs get crazy in endgame. And i think GGG can do good with time.

Took a fresh hcssf slam Titan to maps for the challenge of it. Other than dying twice to draven at level 8 lol, everything was smooth sailing. Bosses definetly take longer than my ice strike+bell monk and lightning rod/La deadeye untill i could get hammer of the gods but i enjoyed it.

Socketed Stampede for something new and it is actually pretty fun! The tooltip dps is pretty low with only a 3-link in it, but with the jagged ground support it does pretty decent damage.

Finished up my T14 atlas points and I want to start putting stuff back into repay the Guild stash, problem is I rarely seem to get T14+ and have been getting tons of T9-T12s, and pretty sure I have all the passives that give a chance for one higher to drop.

If I run a few of my T12s, is T14 the highest that can drop even if I'm up to the T15 quest? Shit is so frustrating but I really just want to.finish all my atlas points before I reroll a new character.

All this shit WAs solved in PoE1 which is the real concerning part.

Wells? Dont exist adn flasks auto refill in town / hideout
Precoursors? Were called sextants, were stupid and clunky and were removed
MF? Removed quant, doesnt effect currency so was more or less removed
Take currency out of stash? Nope dont have to do that either
Wanna blast monsters? Setup atlas, toss in some scarabs which stack in the map device and stay there and go go go

Like I know they wanted to slow shit down, but its pretty obvious they had no idea how and made the laziest, tedious, punishing for no reason (1 portal Pinnacles? wtf), annoying (picking up breach shards, artifacts, deli shards etc WHY?) ways to do it that everyone hates it.

HEY GUYS HERES DODGE ROLL ITS FUCKING SUPER IMPORTANT SO USE IT! Oh btw map monsters are turbo speed so dodge roll does fucking nothing kthxbye.

The dodge roll has pretty much been an afterthought once you get some move speed and then you pretty much never use that shit ability unless some bullshit blocks you into a wall or something equally stupid.

It's interesting that PoE 2 follows D2's act structure so far.

Medieval Europe Woods, Middle East Desert, Aztec Jungle... with the Jungle being a long slog that makes you feel like you earned it when you finish.

D4 is slavic ice wasteland, celtic wasteland, arid desert wasteland, sand desert wasteland and swamp wasteland. Then they put the Aztec Jungle in the expansion without the memorable giant river, blowpipe pygmies and giant city - all of which PoE 2 has.

i can not compare this stage of poe2 to same stage as d4 as i didn't start playing til s2. poe2 has a long long way to get to s2/s3 d4 levels of fun for me. that would be like, 2 years away? but think they need to serious change a lot of fundamental stuff before added in classes and story. so hope to see what direction they are going sooner than later.

Well, I am slowly going through endgame now.

I used my chunkiest T4 Waystone on a boss/delirium/corrupted Willow map, and was mobbed to death in seconds at the entrance, first death in endgame so far. What the actual fuck was that? When I did it again with all that juice gone, I STILL got mobbed at the entrance but at least survived.

How can GGG fuck up map design after 14 years? Mobs in elevated positions bombing you with projectiles, narrow, winding pathways, these layouts are completed dogshit. Like All The Maps We Avoided In PoE1 type of dogshit. Bramble Valley - get the fuck out of here? Cells/Dungeon? No thanks, I am not retarded. Shore - check. Coves, check. Racecourse, check.

Man was owning my second character's 3rd Sekhema last night, feeling good. Got great boons, full honour, some medium afflictions, and I click a boon shrine that also gives me an affliction. Gave me a boon that recovered honour in the boss room.

Also gave me an affliction that "removed all energy shield".

I am CI.

I managed to do 3 rooms with 1 hp and 1 honour, but the twins got a mega slam on me and I failed. I just ran another one and pounded it, but I thought it was pretty dumb/funny. IIRC in Sanctum that was like 50% less energy shield (which they now have 50% less defenses now). Imagine some hardcore guy blasting through, getting that, not paying attention and WHAM. Fucking dead.

Will say after getting good relics the trials are just monotony and hoping for more good luck than bad, but very doable. Fourth floor is still shit for a lot of builds. Oh, and the firepot guys are still instagibbing people.

Yeah 4th floor is terrible for warrior, still haven't made it to the boss, but I imagine I will likely die whenever I make it to him :(

Good thing is I cant take the crushing blows as it fucks up stun prone so Boneshatter does nothing, but still would like to at least get the last 2 points. Oh well, will see what happens when they get back from break.

I really am hoping that when the game hits "release" version - that a bunch of this type of shit is cleaned up. A bunch of this shit just doesnt make sense. Invalidates tons of items in a build. Makes a huge chunk of the tree pointless, too.

The more information that comes to light, the more depressing all of this shit is.

Same with the Gaze amulet.

Pretty sure these broken uniques as well as Energy Shield overall in need for a good assfuck.

Of course they will need to buff other stuff instead of just shitfucking builds this time. Like they did with the Cast on gems.

Praying this was a last-minute thrown together end-game to get EA started, if this is something they are seriously proud of I really don't understand that all I'll just go back to playing the first game.
