Can't Do This Any Longer

THIS GAME IS FULLY UNPLAYABLE ON PS5 PRO (and the majority of these gripes likely extend to PC as well)

-Can't run a juiced map. Impossible. Takes an hour because I have to pause 10-15 times to let this shoddy game recover itself so I don't take a worthless death and accrue a wonderful XP crushing death.

-Game stutters constantly, pauses 50 time per map.

-Sound is an abomination and is worse than a lobotomy. Setting your audio to medium or low improves absolutely nothing.

-The entire game plays like one massive temporal chains curse.

-Rewards outside of temple are non-existent. I am running T16, eight mod corrupted maps with over 150% rarity and walking away with less than I invested into the map. Why bother?

-The pause screen (which I queue as to avoid a death from the wonderful freezing up your game causes) goes blue for a full 10 seconds, sometimes even causing a full freeze.

-Market items are either dirt cheap or 5000 divines. This is what happens when you release a mechanic like the Vaal Temple with zero information for players to ingest. Streamers blasted, and so did the enthusiasm of the majority.

-Shrines should come with a Surgeon General's Warning, as your game will induce seizures.

-Load screens are either snappy and responsive or take two full minutes.

-Cosmetics that are supposedly applicable to PoE1 and PoE2 are often amiss. I don't even have a claimed pet from a stream for 0.2.


I'm frustrated, I'm at my wits end.

PLEASE, PLEASE, do everything in your might to fix performance after 0.5. I might not be a majority, but I will not go beyond 0.5 if the game stays in this state.

It's not good, it's unrewarding, it's tedious.

I'm on PS5 and the type of stuttering you are talking about doesn't exist. It must be a bad network connection.

Why in the world are you running late game maps +85 without using the item that negates 75% of xp loss? Those should always be in your inventory.

The rewards issue I agree with. The game is far too unrewarding prior to hitting late late late endgame

I'm all for this team dumping all plans to try and turn this into PoE1 slowly over time. The whole " entire screen is exploding in a collage of visual soup " gameplay of PoE1 is not appealing. So hopefully they keep pushing for overall stronger enemies that come in much smaller waves which they began to do in .4

Totally agree, the game is poorly optimized

Hope 0.5 gives a more stable FPS
