My personal review about the game

Introduction:

I have more than 16,000 hours in PoE and about 800 in diablo I think that gives me some capacity for analysis and retrospective.

Positive:
Skill system, passive, simple but complex. You can make very crazy builds
Crafting system Very friendly.
Graphically very careful, exquisite scenarios and immersive atmosphere.
Ingame filter system that we have been asking GGG for years.
At least i can now why I died and which can o type of damge kill me awesome
I love the default customization of the Skins of the different types of class. I love it, also the store is good, without more you have things to customize a little bit I like it.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On the technical side, well, it could be optimized more, it is possible, but I do not understand the complaints, Ryzen 7 5800x, rx5700xt x 2k x presets High x Limited FPS. For those who complain, gentlemen or is your first experience in ARPG or do not understand, PoE if you want I tell you what it does to the graph or Diablo IV that shoots you the temp of the cpu. It could be improved for sure, it is acceptable, YES A LOT.

Negative or to improve:

Some bugs especially at the time of transitioning between instances on the maps, in some areas it is tedious to click on the map change.
Button to reset skills or passives to 0.
Tutorial for new players explaining each section because it can be confusing at the beginning, it would be good if it was like quests, for example Craftea your first item and so on, it is true that if you are a veteran in ARPG will not cost you adapt but for new players if it can be more confusing.
I think and I say I think because I have not yet reached the End Game that there is no hideout and that would be a very good point if it existed.
I think it would be possible to enable an auction of items but only bases or unique but I understand that this would give for a debate because it could break the dynamics of the game and the progression
EXPLANATORY NOTE
-The language of the game, I understand that it is still a beta but at least the texts should be selectable in Spanish, ideally the story would be dubbed but it is true that this effort could also have been made by GGG and never did, only the interface and dialogues. The veterans know that this can only be done by Blizzard and GGG if they wanted or cared about the Spanish community, which Crish Wilson has never cared about and that is a fact.

Summary:
About the endgame I have not yet criteria to evaluate and I will update again when it arrives to be able to evaluate it.

Game with a lot of potential that is noted that has drunk from the comments that we drag veterans on Diablo and Poe and have decided to bet on having that we asked but never did, for me the game at this point is in a solid 7.5 with potential to be a 10 very good game.

Welcome to the forum!

Nice feedback in a respectful manner.

Yeah, this has been asked for frequently so hopefully the devs have plans for this.

Not positive what you are talking about here, are you meaning a place for the player to display their trophies or something?

Another thing that has been asked for frequently is the translations in different languages and I know this is in the plans by the devs but they have an internal roadmap for when this happens, which I believe will be after 1.0.
I don’t know the details of their plans or how in depth they are going to be.

I think he means like a player base or home. Like in Lost Ark or something, maybe? This has gotten requested on a number of occasions and honestly I can’t remember what EHGs stance was. For some reason I think I heard that it’s on-the-table but more than likely something well after 1.0 drops. But, I’m old and my memory sucks. Someone else will recall with more acuity.

Thanks, but I’m still not sure what that means for sure. I know that Asheron’s Call had a ā€œplayer homeā€ that they could claim and store stuff but somehow I’m not sure that’s what is intended here. I haven’t played Lost Ark so I don’t know the reference there.

Since OP has a lot of time in poE he would probably means something like a Hideout in PoE, in which you can access all relevant NPC’s for oyur daily activities and go into the main endgame mode and to other hubs via a teleporter.

You can also choose a design across multiple unlockable or purchasble designs and edit it further to your likings.

Something like this would have a lot less thigns to do and make in LE right now, but maybe in the future.

Ah, thanks.

Well tbh I think even if the activity is still just running monos, having a place to call ā€œhomeā€ makes it more… well homey.

there is a pretty fun and distinct feeling when your in your hideout in PoE then a friend shows up and you have a giggle on discord or something then continue with your activities.

Also being able to customize the location you will spend a lot of time (for me its that area where you get rewards, I like to afk there alt tab etc) just feels fun, its less about the activities you can do there, but just having a place to call homebase.

Hint for the devs: it is also extremely good for the MTX shop. :wink:
I don’t like character cosmetics very much, because I find fun to see my look change depending on what I pick up.
But a bit of furniture or decorations for my house/hideout? Sometimes I just can’t resist.

Had a similar thought.

Not having player hideouts would probably be a missed revenue opportunity, and perhaps not a small amount of revenue at that. Many players love decorating their hideouts in POE and in other games.

Hideouts come from PoE, a place where you can go and has a crafting bench, a representative for all league mechanics, all your pets doing weird shit, etc.

Saw Heavy answer as well, much better explained as well.

@heavy

Off topic, do changes need to be made to your filters to show weaver items? Havent seen one on a new patch character up to level 55 and just curious. Thanks!

The really cool part is that there is this thing called favor for doing missions from said representatives, I dont know how it works in modern PoE in all honesty because it started with representatives no longer available.

Went on a little tangent there, but you could use this favor to buy hideout decorations. You could make your hideout absolutely insane, there is a website where you can actually import other’s creations. Mine currently looks like an area from Bloodborne, its pretty cool.

No, 091 didn’t have any changes that require updating the filter.

Weaver’s Will Items are Unique Items for all intents and purposes.

Thanks Heavy, and thanks for making the community filters to begin with.
