Early Access Review
Bought the Liberator of Wraeclast pack to support the devs of POE1, who created one of the best arpgs. Too bad this is the worse.

- Horrible customer support. They don't have a proper support ticket system. Have fun waiting 4 weeks to resolve one issue.
- Only nerfs for every patch. They're not tuning nerfs. They straight up gimp those abilities to be viable for endgame mapping.
- 1st blood mage ascendancy gimps the character until another ascendancy + gear + 20 levels
- Inflated economy with item rarity. It's a huge issue when trading is the fastest and most reliable way to get gear
- Magic find
- Duplicated Items flooding the market
- No auction house
- No answer to accounts with high value items and currency being hijacked
- Build diversity is lower than a three year old can count
- Life and armor are absolutely useless compare to energy shield. Armor even lowers movement speed
- Endgame is a snooze fest. Juice tablets, way stones, and get magic find. Keep running the same long maps over and over hoping to find a citadel. There are conspiracies with corpses to find citadels because people are pulling hair trying to find one. Then, when you find one and run the citadel, you'll have to decide with keeping the piece to later fight the pinnacle boss or selling it for a divine because the economy is so inflated that anything valuable is worth a divine+.
- You only get one shot at fighting end game bosses. Good luck learning their attack patterns without watching a video. Be a god gamer or one shot the bosses.
- POE 3 will fix melee
- One shot after death effects
- Horrible performance issues with constant crashes that they still have to send out patches for. Try running fireball with scatter shot. You'll get more fps with your 4090 in Cyberpunk 2077 w/ path tracing w/o DLSS. Play on the PS5 to get a beautiful powerpoint presentation.
- Visual clarity
- Act 1 is the only good act with the rest being Pangaea maps for no reason
- Horrible movement speed
- Crafting is gambling. Keep reforging things and pray. Keep slamming those exalts. No deterministic crafting at all. Greater essence and omens are not substitutes.
- Greater jewel orbs might as well be Santa. Level 20 Skill Gems and Perfect Jewel orbs are Big Foot and Loch Ness Monster.
- Atlas Tree is laughable
- Passive Tree is smaller than POE 1
- Less skills than POE 1
- Charm and charm slots
- We have dodge roll now, so it's definitely a souls-like with no resemblance of what makes Dark Souls 1-3 or Elden Ring lovable.
