My DOH Feedback

New POE1 season is about to launch, so I guess it's time to give my feedback for DOH.


Playstyle
- I'm playing SSF and I reset the league when creating a new character

- Since spells were kind of meh I was trying a couple of different off-class builds on sorceress.

- I've tried cold snap, ED, bone shatter, slams, maces on right side passive tree, thorns, galvanic shards, gale force, grenades, ice shot, ice strike, frozen locus, phys quarterstaff


Loot

- Even after the loot buff I'm still experiencing very long periods without upgrades to my gear.

- I now get more rare items but the chance of them having the correct type + useful affixes remained unchanged.

Attribute Runes

- I had runs where I was just dropping a lot of the new runes, but nothing to fix resistances.

- At low level they are completely useless because it's quicker to just grab another level or respect.

Act 2

- Experience or monster density needs some tweaks. When entering the dreadnought I'm always a couple of levels behind the zone level.

- Travelling between zones is extremely annoying with that additional delay from the caravan animation.

Mouse Controls

- Channeling skills are interrupted / paused when pressing the move button.

- Crossbow skills sometimes have additional delay from turn animations or don't fire at all.

Trials

- Bricked runs in trial of chaos are just as common as before, while the changed behavior of logout & town portal made them even more punishing.

Chrono

- Why would I use buffs that only sometimes work? Why would I ascend to get an early game support gem?

- Usually only has 1 - 2 useful nodes while the rest is just fluff.

- If a node is useful you still need specific uniques & endgame setups to benefit from them.

- Compare recoup on chrono vs recoup on storm weaver.

Overall

- I'm playing with steam client on EU-servers and no information about ongoing issues was given there.

- Having this "DDOS, nothing can be done" on some stream is simply not acceptable for a payed product.

- I have noticed way more bugs and many of the most obvious haven't been fixed yet (looking at you punch skills & keth waypoint)

- Season of buffs was thrown around in some interview but so far I haven't seen much of that.

- QOL was improved in some areas, but in other areas (i.e. see trials) we have gone backwards.

- "Twelve Character Classes" is a key feature in the store description, but doesn't seem like it will be available for launch.
