PoE 2 early feedback

hi,

I finally could put some time to PoE 2 and wanted to bring some early feedback.
for context. Playing sorc.

1. Game in acts is bit too hard. What I mean about that. in the ealry access video and the podcast after it was said that no choice will be bad choice and you can experiment. It is not case for sorc at least. I feel underpowered all the time, had to go and check build that was for my style of play and when I changed few things on tree and some support gems it was big change (although still fill underpowered). I am level 24 now but still most of the items I use are from when I was around 10 (some of the reasons are that the stats on 10lev stick is same or higher then what I get after 20lev. example 42% spell damage on my wand I got around lev 10). but even with that more important thing are bosses. Issue I have is they do not telegraph well + many times when you retreat they do their one shot skills from outside of screen so you don't see what boss is doing and there is no telegraph on the ground or whatever to let you know. Other is hit boxes, for some bosses it is crazy. There is boss in Act 1 that drops small nuke followed by big one, I noticed myself and others were dying when they dodged small one. then telegraph on ground shows for big one you dodge and then when you stand up you still in a damage zone and you dont have time for another dodge and it hits you killing you.

2. Ressurect times too long. It only works in big party fighting boss as he can be distracted by others long enough. but if you play with friend there is no way to res you buddy. Maybe we could have different res times depending on how big party is?

3. public party finder on console is very bad. Just overall use of it, how you navigate through it, cursor is missing many times and so on. It is fine when you get the party you want to join and joining itself.

4. Loot filter. We really need something there.

5. Game looks beautiful and bosses look great.
6. Map, would like to have better interaction on maps screen, we only have legend explaining what we see there but we cannot hover over icons.
