I myself have been experiencing a few things that have been seriously bugging me and to the point of getting me very upset.

I am a level 17 Sorceress (NOW) I previously tried the Witch with this as well.
At Level 17, I am still stuck in Act 1 right at the, "The Executioner" for 4 days.
I died so many times I lost count. Is this how the new mechanic supposed to work?
Meaning, Am I supposed to only stay in act 1 for the entire season?

I really love the game, but I am not enjoying myself being stuck like this.

I sure as hell not progressing forward, but instead dying several dozen times, that I lost count. If I recall, I believe it's around 180 times thus far, as a level 17 in Act-1 at "The Executioner".

I also found myself having to press the skills button more than once in order for it to kick in.
When I want to use a skill, I am forced to make sure I hit the particular skills button more than twice in order for me to use it.
And no its not my keyboard, I have a brand spanking new mechanical keyboard.
And no its not my computer as my computer specs are as follows.

AMD Ryzen 9-7950X CPU
Gigabyte X670E Aorus Extreme motherboard
GSkill 128-GB DDR5 6000/mts RAM
AMD Radeon 7900-XTX GPU
M.2 Samsung 990-Pro
ISP speed is 1GB/s Fiber both ways.



So it's not my system whatsoever, if anyone thinks that because I am having activation skills problems, that it might be my computer. It's not.


Also, There are those specific players who want to play PoE like it's HC, and they want the same experience for everyone, no matter who they are, and that should never happen.
Just because some HC players want the difficulty to be 1000% because that's how they play their game or want THEIR specific experience with the game,
doesn't mean that everyone else, including normal non-HC players should be pigeonholed into this experience as well.

I don't mind a challenge, I really don't, it's fine, I get it.
But when someone like myself is level 17 and has been in Act-1 for 4 days straight,
trying to get past "The Executioner", but can't because the difficulty is turned up to 1000%. It kinda makes it hard to enjoy the game.

Not enough currency is dropping, NPC is constantly giving garbage gear if purchased, which wastes gold, and not enough currency is dropping, all while desperately trying to get out of Act-1, since I've been there for 4 days now as a level 17 character.

As you can tell by the long post, I am a bit frustrated.
Again, I don't mind a challenge, but when it's turned up to 1000%
how am I supposed to progress?
