New Player Feedback after 175+ hours

First of all, I'm a new POE player and I deeply apolagize to veteran players if I cross the line. I play action ARPGs since Diablo 1 and this genre is my favourite. However i will give my feedback according to 2024, not 1990. These are my opinions and I may be wrong and I thank to anyone for any feedback.

Good things first;

The gameplay, sound design, creature design, graphics, animatiı-ons, controls, story and etc.. This game is perfect. The slow pace is extremely immersive and im always up for it. Game is not that hard, I just have to use my brain time to time and that is fair. Mapping system is a very good system but it can be improved as we will talk this in a bit.

Now the improvement areas or areas I did not like;

On death effects.. They should be removed completely. They are not fun, not challenging. they are boring. I just wait in the corner by doing nothing.Also with playing infernalist and arsonists, I cant see them anyway. This mechanic alone makes me get bored and frustrated instead of making it fun.

Charging gorillas and antlions from outside of the map. Who thought about this? Who thought this would be fun? I dodge roll to somewhere different and rigt to that place, they charge out of map upon me and kill me. This is not challenging and fun as well.

Visual clusters.. I cant see anything man. I play arsonists and SRS. I hope that boss wont one shot me because I really see nothing. Please add a setting to lower it.

Crafting system is not good. I could not call this a crafting system either. It is extremely RNG based gatcha game, basically gambling and I have really really bad luck so after 175 hours, I stopped so called crafting.

So lets talk about trading. Trading system exists. They should really implement in into the game as an autcion house just like WOW. Alva is there already anyway. However, prices are rocket high. I cannot earn that much Divine or Exalted orbs unfortunately. At this point, I cant trade my way out either.

So lets talk about item drop rates. This is a problem. I farm T15 maps and I have zero good loots. I cant use Vall orbs on maps because they are too strong for my toon and I need gear upgrades. At this point, I got bored of clearing maps and get no loot.

This is a loot game and I cannot get loot. Therefore I cannot progress further. There should be a balance. If I hit a wall, the game at least provide me a solution. Like, targetted loot farming and etc.. Now at this point you are telling me that there is "Increased rarity" stat for it. ı need to survive first to min max my build for rarity stat and I have not enough resistances now.

My suggestions are;

Either increase item drop rate with relative and reasonable stats according to class I play, or make crafting more relaible for people with bad luck and poor, like me. Because I cannot farmn 7/24. It's boring, not fun.

Remove on death effects, charging mobs from outside of your screen. These are not fun.

Improve settings for visual clarity also please add some accesibility options.

Thank you for reading and GLHF

Edit: I forgot mention the honour system in trial. You got the point.

I personally don't understand why I can't socket a jem into a staff but two handed maces can get up to 3 if your lucky....it's a bit irritating and honestly kinda saddening.

I would like to see complete removal of this "rarity/quantity" stats from every single gear. Its an ancient gameplay design, it's not fun to know even about its existence.

In every mechanic, you can feel that devs gathered in a circle and thought about how to overcomplicate that little that they were not too lazy to do.

And crafing.. yea.. just yea.. there are ways to control at least something, but yea.

Probably devs never though about such important thing that rng is pleasant only when it's about world generations, but exactly where it is really needed, we have just camera rotation and where it's bloody not (like crafting) - there hella ton of rng.
