My first real investment in a PoE league, I should have started a long time ago. Having a blast!
Hey guys,

First of all i just want to thank you for this amazing game.

My feedback is about the console version of the game, any chance to implement buttons configuration so we could remap the buttons as we like, cuz they was how its implemented is really hard to get used to, and some of the stuff just dont make any sense.

Best regards,
I love the league so far.

Only thing im disappointed is runes.
Im summoner. Im restricted to wands and shields.
All options are so boring for summoner.
You should readjust some restrictions because why even add runes if a decent amount of builds cant use the cool ones and is restricted to boring increased damage.
You did it right with charms. You failed at runes.
The game is over all very good. The variety of mechanics, awesome graphics and fast combat are what keep me returning. However, what causes me to log off in frustration and eventually quit until a new expansion comes out are: 1. having to run all the way back from the start of a map after a death; and 2) the brutal hit to experience from a death once you get around level 90. All of the other drawbacks (way too complicated crafting, confusing mechanics, lack of auction house for gear, 1-hit kills from monsters, etc.) pale in comparison to these 2 things. You create a powerful character that most of the time just destroys everything in sight, but when you get towards the end of a map or close to the next level, you have to play as a coward so you aren't punished. Not fun.
I have no words other than: I love this league.
Absolutely perfect league. I'm so pround of GGG. I really hope that town building in PoE will stay and develop. So we can buy decorations and furniture for our houses.

AND MOST OF ALL Thanks for currency market. Looking forward for item market as well, so we wont need to go to website to get them.

League mechanic is good, gold drops are horoundeous for full atlas investment and outside of juicing strategies...

At this point I would just make gold tradable so that at least we can focus on other things beside just atlas juicing the mobs for more gold to interact with the league mechanic, or just cut off the wages across the board...

Getting ridiculous to have 60-70k wages to get mostly scraps in returns...60-70k wages are like 5-7 maps if not properly juiced.

That's really stupid for a full atlas investment around mobs.
Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.
New player here ( who would of guessed from the nature of the thread) really enjoying the gameplay and design of classes. Bought some tabs qol stuff once I finished act 10 which are basically needed. It would be a great if you maybe had suggestion for tabs order of buying or the fact that you guys have them on sale once a month just for new players like myself. Luckily I looked up the order and found it on reddit what to get and the mention of sale.

The next thing I have to suggest is a new bug reporting system because holy shit the way you have to do it know is terrible. Had to report a bug for act 1 fetid pool area or whatever its called 2 mobs bugged into a crimson ore vine. Tried posting a picture with it and the fact that you have to post it on some 3rd party site then post the link to the picture in the thread instead of just drag and dropping it. Is terrible its not 1999 windows 95 get up with the times GGG.

Third thing is the trading system (to me auction house system) is complete fucking garbage how your staff of GGG hasn't looked at this and thought "Wow this sucks." As a new player I was "WTB X" in the trade channel to never be answered for days then I asked in global to find out people use the website for it. Why the hell do you not have a proper in game auction house system same as OSRS, WOW, FFXIV, literally every other game that has it. The fact that you have to go OUT OF THE GAME to try to buy items from trade is mind blowing. This is the fist game I've ever played that has this. Now yes the direct message function is nice and the filtering system is also nice, but polished turd is still a turd. And you know its crap because if any of the mentioned games switched to this style of AH it would kill it.

City manager is cool and fun interesting idea I hope it makes it to main game or poe in some shape or form. But holy the rates of shipments suck now. Nothing feels worse then sending them out on a 5-15% risk rate and hitting the risk chance 3/5 times. Ya'll need to relook at those numbers because it ain't right.

But overall as a new player the experience has been fun and good 8/10 but I also looked up guides to play for "X" class. If you didnt do that your getting the first talent point opening it and going nope "alt+f4".
After DC I got this one -->: "Ship status: Commandeered" with gray out "Rescue" and "Ransom". What should I do?
So I've gotten further into the content of the game this league than I ever have before, and it's thanks to the QoL and Currency system changes. One thing that slowed me down was currency exchange, and I was usually bugging my Guildmates for exchanging. Now that I can just shop for stackables, the game is completely different and improved. Thanks to that, I've had the chance to start dabbling in crafting.

I made my very first item from nothing more than a base item this league, and it completely changed my experience in the game. I'm actually starting to learn the crafting system, which in turn increases my options in buying gear, which increases my ability to interface with the game.

ALL because I can now buy Essences without having to message, wait to be ignored, then shop again after failing a craft, waiting to be ignored... or buy massively in bulk and then wait to sell off the excess.

Kingsmarch is super fun as well, and I love the customizability of the Runes. It's making me want to play different builds with just being able to SEE what modifiers I can put on main weapons. The Gold system is also incentivizing me to clear Maps and keep coming back to the content.

I also appreciate the Sliders reference from Isla. The letters are also nice little bits of world building. Loved the "You're alive!" one.

The Hirelings for Mapping is also GREAT. It lets me use my old and outdated maps for something positive. I have to say, everything about the current League is an absolute WIN. I just have 1 thing left to explore. The Recombinator. I will need to study it's effects, but I'm looking forward to slapping things together and seeing what I get.

In other words, I hope all the content of this League ends up becoming permanent, including the shipping. I find it a nice side interest that keeps me coming back into logging in, without being an overly powerful income source. It's balanced!

Please keep Kingsmarch, mostly or completely the way it is now. Maybe add more buildings, shops, and services for League content in the future? Either permanent or temporary, it's a great canvas for exploring systems without having them all waiting for you in Lioneye's Watch.
