I have so many hours in this game. I did not hate 0.2 like so many did at first. 0.3.1 is literally unplayable. They nerved evasion and energy shield stealth-wise mid-season like this, and suddenly everything hits harder, more often, and dies less. The required map boss changes are also awful because they removed the rare mob indicators, which is where the actual loot comes from. I also hate the map mod changes because in order to get irradiated on a map now you have to ALWAYS have a precursor tablet, meaning at best you get two other "contents" as they call it. Well, ritual is basically required for endgame loot, and then delirium is required for juicing end-game rarity. So... you actually get zero choices on how you're going to run your maps.

Who is your balance designer? They honestly need to be fired, that's how dumb these changes are, and this isn't the first time stupid changes have been introduced. I understand wanting to try new things, but when you decimate builds over and over again and REMOVE fun, you're limiting your player base. 0.3.1 might be the end of PoE2 for me, honestly.

Rare monster icons were hiding a deeper problem that POE2 has since EA launched:
In POE1, even in a T16 eight modded maps with tons of pack density, I always know when a rare monster was near... I could SEE it. In POE2, most of the times I only realize that I'm fighting a rare when it takes longer to die.

The lack of clarity in this game is out of control and it's only getting worse...
Bring back rare icons (even if they are just a band-aid).

PS.
Chilled ground is still shit.

PPS.
Shade Walker is still shit.
