Console/Controller Bugs

In no particular order of importance, I've been taking notes over the past few weeks and wanted to annotate them here.

Most of these are from Console/Controller standpoint. I play on PS5 and PC (with controller usually on PC), for reference. Also for reference, I have almost 5,000 hours on PC with POE1.

- Attributes for character: I've noticed several times that the number for strength/dex/int are all showing in the wrong attribute. Example: If I have 20 strength, 40 dex, and 100 intellect, it will show that "100" in the red circle for strength which confuses me when trying to play with my stats in the passive tree to make skills work.

- Console Trading: Not so much a bug, but a terrible terrible system currently. I am on PS5, and when I need to search something on trade, I hate my life if using the in-game function to get to trade website. I can put in all of the filters I need to search for the perfect item I need, which is great. The problem is when I direct message the player, I have to go back into the game to see if he responds. Everyone knows 75% of the time you whisper someone, they don't respond. Oh well, I'll just click on the next item that was almost as good.... but wait, going back into the trade option for consoles brings entire a fresh trade website, with no filters saved or anything.... I have to have a phone (sucks on phone) or a laptop beside me while playing on PS5 for trade to not be as painful. Again, not so much a bug, but a complaint that I hope yall can find a fix for.

- Charms: To note. It seems the last patch fixed this, so thank you. But playing on controller couldn't see the charms like PC mouse players could see.

- Cruel Quest map objectives: Probably not a big concern as we will get acts 4-6 later. The Skulls for certain quests do not obtain an "X" over them when complete. Also, some underground areas show the skulls closer to an alternate zone instead of their own zone which is confusing. Easier to avoid confusion with a mouse, but on a controller it's already annoying enough trying to get to them to read them.

- Stash tabs not in town/hideout: Another FYI note. Seems a patch fixed this recently, but before every time I would try to quick transfer from my inventory to the stash, it would drop on the ground instead. This was highly frustrating, so thank you for this fix.

- Console Trading Apps: Please work yalls magic and figure out a way to be able to use trade apps/overlays on console. The ability to quickly search items to see if they are worth much on the trade website is crucial (unless you don't care about your time). Currently I will level up on console but end game grinding is too painful, due to so many "possible" good drops that I can't search to know what to sell them for. Hopefully you guys find a way to help with this.

- Stash tabs when swapping from Console to PC: From playing so much POE1, I have a lot of public stash tabs on PC. I have to use multiple of them to sell random items. Currently for PS5, I only have 1 public stash tab. I really wish cross progression between console and PC would mirror each other. Everytime I go back to PC, after being on PS5, I notice that every one of my public stash tabs are un-checked as public. This means if I don't remember to go back into them and mark them as public, then no one sees my awesome items for sell on the trade website.

- Skill Gem Quality on controller: When I press R3 on controller, it gives me access to view some of the skill gem's info. However, I cannot see what adding quality does to the gem. On PC, if I hold Alt on the gem, I can easily see what quality adds. Am I just not finding the right button on controller, or is this capability missing?

- Accepting Trades from NPC w/ controller: Small annoyances... I have to hold down X (PS5 controller) to accept the trade. Well, if I don't time it right, it re-selects the NPC after closing the trade window. Not a big deal, but I noticed it and it's annoying at most.

- Accepting Trades from other players w/ controller: Mostly fine, but if you hold X (PS5 controller) to accept the trade on an item with a rune socket, it just clicks into the rune socket instead of accepting the trade. Simple fix is to back out and go to one of your currency options to accept trade. Just hope that the trader isn't swapping an item trying to scam you...

- Quest Map shortcuts: I see there is a trial of chaos shortcut on the right. Can there not be a trial of sekhemas shortcut also? I get the chaos one is probably due to act 3 being hard to navigate through due to past/present features, but thought I would add.

- Waypoint distance to work: On controller (not sure if mouse does same), you can click on the waypoint to select where to teleport to, and from max selecting distance, it won't let you teleport. You have to get closer to the waypoint and click again with controller.

- Controller L3 Examining: L3 will examine items, which is obviously great. The problem/annoyance is that when you release L3, the chat function comes up and moves your controller cursor down to the filter/search box (this is how it works if you have stash open and inventory and a few other examples).

- Weapons and Support Gems: I know there was a patch that fixed this, but it just happened again on one of my weapons but not the other... I had 2 rattling sceptres on my infernalist. I removed one and the support gems dissapeared.. Re-equipped it and saw them, so I manually removed them. Tried on the other sceptre and the support gems removed automatically and got placed in my inventory... Not sure why some work, and others still ignore your support gems so mentioning here...

- Couch Coop: Unplayable in Act 3 / Cruel Act 3.... Waypoints are not there, just an empty map....

There were a few other things I noted, but unfortunately, I can't remember what I meant by my cliff notes lol.
