Please can a DEV answer

So are you just doubling down on all the clunky movement and slow gameplay?

No travel skills, animations slow down character turn. Whether you use WASD or mouse it doesn't matter because the mouse setting feels clunky due to how the character model behaves.

You guys put out a trailer hailing all these new skills and gems and systems, but if the game feels bad to play IT DOES NOT MATTER.

Animations are slow and makes the game feel sluggish, this needs to be fixed! No number of thousands of support gems will fix this.

When you try to move in a different direction the character model "locks in" on a certain position for a brief moment which makes it feel bad to play. Responsiveness is out the window due to overdesign!

It feels like so much focus was put into making this game console compatible that it completely lost what it is in poe1.

I want to quote one specific thing mentioned in the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6RGbL4MtBs

"One thing we've had a lot of feedback on is the busy-work around running towers and managing your tablets.

The first change we've made here is that we have reduced the number of towers"

Are you fucking kidding me??
YOU ARE IGNORING THE BASE PROBLEM AND FIXING THE PROBLEM BY INTRODUCING A NEW PROBLEM. LISTEN TO YOURSELF, THINK.

Not a single player in this game likes the fact that if you die once your map is basically gone. NOT A SINGLE DAMN PLAYER. Go ahead, put it to a vote! Yet, you keep bulldozing in this bazaar direction.

POE1 is a success for a reason, learn from it.

RIP POE2 - Wish I could refund.
I guess Chris Wilson was the magic that made the first game work.

If you want ADHD imbecil ZOOM lightspeed movement, play POE1. PERIOD.

Sure. let's see which is more popular after the coming patches.

The ADHD Imbecil zoom game that has a track record of continual growth, or the game that has just seen a decline since it's EA release.

I'll wait, sip my coffee and come back to this thread to tell you "Told you so" after a year or two.

Anyway, if this is the mentality and direction then I just won't support this developer anymore, and I know quite a few people that feel the same.

It's simple.

GGG does not respect the community that made them what they are and by extension does not respect player time.

I also raged until I realized a VIDEO GAME is not worth the increase in blood pressure.

Stop with the stress and anxiety and move on. Find another game / genre / company worth your time and energy.

Obviously none of you bothered to watch the Q&A.

The Portal issue is being addressed in a way that may no suit some but, I think, is a good compromise.

Base Waystone (likely now Blue with one mod) gives six portals and no reset of map until all portals are used.

Each additional mod loses one portal. So a fully juiced map has one portal. So choose you risk level.

Death penalty remains, but its exactly the same in PoE1 so no-one can complain about that as being something new or that needs to change.

My only concern with One Portal is no death, its access to hideout to empty my stash on highly juiced maps. But they indicated that would be discussed over the weekend.

For vanilla maps, just put a stash chest at the first checkpoint. Job done.

The change in portals on a map is a big facade. Nobody cares about portals on maps that don't matter. And the fully modded maps got nerfed in that we can no longer carry back 6 inventories of gear, or leave to trade, or recover from a crash, or <insert reason to leave and return>.

They didn't answer or made worse: crafting(gave more rng, thanks), trading, portals, death punishment(nobody cried about xp loss vs pinnacles), one-shots, RMT'ers, bots.

I don't understand the thinking. And even worse, they come out acting all proud about how they crap all over major player concerns. Clunky gem UI doesn't look changed but they added another 100+ gems so we get even more junk to sort through. Hopefully a handful of those supports are actually worth using.

and doesnt answer to false ban reasons, teo ban waves sure wouldnt auto ban legit players right?

Doesnt fix the issue if you want to trade.

But I hope they will fix this over the weekend.
