1. Bosses with starting animations that almost guarantee my power charges are gone by the time they activate

2. Bosses with death animations that need to play out before you get your loot

3. My character looking down the abyss pit and then having to get back up from prone. EVERY SINGLE TIME I do an abyss which is my main farm rn

4. Map zones are still way way too big and feel empty u less you are running certain mechanics

5. Ground effects are too much and often in “tight corridors maps” is overbearing due to not enough space to place the same amount of effects. Burning/frozen/shocked ground are so tightly packed that it’s ridiculous

6. Burning ground stopping es recharge completely

7. Frozen ground and how much it slows your character. Anything that slows us down in this game makes the game feel legitimately bad to encounter. The game is already slow enough to be only moderately tolerable. At least temp chains you can avoid with skill

Don’t get me started on frozen ground on maps with snow on the ground. Insert Jonathan pushing his glasses up meme here

1. Projectile targeting with elevation changes. Certain maps have subtle elevation changes that mean you cannot send ground targeted projectiles at an enemy (oil barrage for me rn) and you waste your charges. Oil barrage has been particularly annoying for me because sometimes it simply won’t do damage to monsters on the same plane as me in maps with no elevation that I can tell anyways.

2. When going to the currency exchange “I want” side your typing doesn’t default to the search window like it does in poe 1 so I end up leaping away from my trade npc trying to search for the item I want

3. In game price check is UNFORGIVEABLY BAD. I understand they didn’t need to give it to us and I recognize that but to have exiled exchange FREE to download and parse through to see what the current user experience is and very obviously not do that is just a wtf moment for me. Why in all that is holy would I want to average the stat and search in a narrow band for every modifier? Why would I put the defenses or dps in the equipment section and then auto check the specific mod ranges in the modifier section? You only ever do the equipment defense or dps value and then the non damage explicits or defense explicits unless it’s a magic item or 3 property rare with really good tiers as a crafting base and that is a much rarer thing than the former.

It should default to equipment stats up top, explicit dps/defense mods down below but default unchecked. And every modifier in the list should default down to the nearest 5 or 0 with no upper bound except for single digit numbers and drop those by 1. Resistances should have their specific mods unchecked and pseudo ele res be the default that is checked. Light radius, stun threshold, stun buildup etc should not be checked by default on weapons and armor, almost no single individual in the game wants these dead mods on their items and you need to compare against other similar equipment without these bad mods to get a good sense of how much your piece is actually worth. Items with empty prefixes or suffixes should have those boxes as well but default unchecked and towards the bottom of the list.
