0.2g and planned new Strongbox "quality of life" is SO tone deaf
|
I see that strongboxes will now show icons that allow you to consume orbs from your inventory.
So, apparently GGG seems to think the issue is opening inventory and clicking the orbs?!?!?! This is extremely tone deaf. Orbs occupy inventory space, of which you don't really have enough. It'd be fantastic if your inventory had an orbs section for consumables you need while playing. Or, why not just consume orbs from Stash? What exactly is the purpose of forcing people to use up extremely limited inventory space, or portal out to go grab them? I mean, at this point, it feels like GGG is actively trolling us...

All this 1x1 currency garbage should be getting auto-collected and funneled into stash. And splinters. Allowing for more space in your inventory is a bandaid to a problem that should not exist in a modern arpg.
Why am I clicking on all this junk hundreds of times per map? |

Def or not, it is an improvement. So +1

here's what i wanna see in a new patch, actually scratch that, a NEW league
1. performance improved by 80%, no longer uses that much CPU, GPU no longer 100% in hideout. 2. server stability improved 3. unique items should feel a lot more powerful now and desirable to own now 4. smallest map is now similar to mesa in poe1 and largest map slightly bigger than jungle valley. 5. introduce a new unique that disables xp loss, but xp gain is much slower 6. base movement speed is now 50%. 7. boss fragments no longer offer direct boss encounters. prerequisites must first be completed. no need for any new mechanic. just remove wisps. game fun will be returned. `Spent 2 mirrors on my build, but I'm only Level 98.` LOL
`From just quick sweep of your characters, toxic rain, golems .. sure, non meta... sure.` LOL `What are divs?` |

" Is it an improvement? Or will it cement the current approach, and prevent an actual improvement? |

" Hopefully its not a "Temporary" fix that remains temporary for 10 years. It is a QoL from what we have. Atm from 60 inventory slots 25 are perma taken by all the things that we need to use in maps on items we pick up and then drop on the dloor again after Trans+Aug+Regal Последняя редакция: Kodavor#1200.

" Friction is fun. GGG thinks players need to be grinded on these inconveniences to make the game fun, like having a miniscule inventory that is deliberately designed to not match the shape of the items you pick up half the time, and not giving you a sort button so you have to manually arrange items. It's fun! Yay! GGG is not out of touch with the playerbase. They're out of touch with reality. |

" Yeah I've never understood this weird idea of "friction is necessary for this game". No its not? There are fun ARPGs out there from decades ago that don't have all these convoluted mechanics and even have an inventory sort button(one example is Titan Quest, that game has auto-sort lol). |

Came across a Strongbox today, thought I'd record the experience:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1hPZXL6GlE Could have been better handled? Sure. But to expect people to be meticulous about the mundane, is a tad pedantic, and out of touch. :) Remmember, the User isn't stupid. The User is drunk. Even if not literally so, the attention span of someone using digital products, is often comparable to someone who's drunk. This is a battle-tested UI principle, here: https://theuserisdrunk.com/ |

" Which gaming studio do you think this is? |
