for the account wide corruptions thing I would suggest rewarding some sort of corruption currency on completing a monolith based on the corruption that it was completed at. you can then take that currency and spend it to buff the next monolith's starting corruption both with your main or your alt. The amount of this currency you receive should be enough to get your next monolith to 90% or so of the corruption you completed the last one at. This would allow you to retain more of your progress, but you still would need to put in the work.
@@arcon980 well, they kinda have it - bonus corruption you gain when complete low corrupted timeline if you have other high corrupted one, the issue is that you don't get this bonus on alt, cause everything is 100 again, also counterpoint to account wide corruption if it is per timeline, you can build corruption ladder for your alts on different timelines
Monolith account progression is my biggest gripe....so many builds I would love to try but the thought of re-doing mono to empowered is too much. Maybe not the corruption level, but as long as you have reached empowered before you should be able to skip that grind. Also the pathing for certain skills is bad, like Warpath, I sometimes get stuck cos im pointing to an area the game doesn't understand, like ramps or bridges to a new platform, its as if the game thinks im pointing at something else that is unreachable so i just stand there spinning on the spot. I also think the campaign is too long, I know there are dungeon skips, but then you have to back track for passives/idol slots. I am not saying give us the option to skip it entirely like D4, but they need to think of something better than having to redo it over and over. You spend 2 to 4 hours leveling up an alt, then grind mono's to empowered, then realise the build doesn't work or is not something you enjoy = big waste of time :P Maybe let us respec mastery? Just put a big cost on it or something, then atleast if the build you want to try is just a different mastery it would save some time :))
They already said, they wanted to implement account wide blessing "inventory" in 1.0 but they didn't because some unexpected backend server load that would cause instability. so they moved it to 1.1.
Good point on a lot of this except when you mentioned clicking the button to transfer the shards…. Its a button to click like whattt… we aint that lazy
My biggest gripe about this game is the faction system. not how each faction works but the fact that you must choose what faction to be in. in my opinion trading / AH / bazaar should be a core part of EVERY online game. at the same time loot is one of the defining features of ARPG's. Having to give up core aspects of online games to maximize my loot or living without the full loot potential to be able to trade just feels bad. 100% cool with having to grind to get the benefits and even fine with setting it so you can only earn favor with 1 faction at a time, but we should not have to choose between the core purpose of ARPG's and core functionality of an online game
The progression on new characters is kind of the big kill for me currently. I pushed to almost 500 on my falcon build but with the current nerfs I went from 1-3k ward to 400-600 and I only have 2k hp so now my build feels like crap. I found the wraithlord helm figured I'd get that and try it but then I think about all the time it would take to do the story, do normal mono, blessings, and lastly get up a good corruption level. It is just a really draining experience to be facing any time you want to play more builds. It already kind of feels bad when I get prophecies for mono's not where my main corruption currently is feels really bad and pushing every island up to that 300-500 range takes a ton of time.
I'd like to see the stash cleaned up a bit. Maybe it's my age, but It's kind of difficult to discern whether you can equip an item or not with this tiny little X on the bottom right of an item. Maybe make the whole item a red hue or something, similar to D3, making it more obvious. I'm aware you can search, but even if you do, it can still be difficult to see the items light up-- Like having a black bow in your inventory, searching for bow, but other things are a bit brighter and kind of overpower it. I agree with the rest of your suggestions.
Same with search result. In PoE i can see pretty clearly which item is filtered from the search bar but here it's hard to discern which one is filtered
A lot of good ideas here. In my utopical world => - Monolith's corruption is account linked and we can choose the highest corrupt unlocked by our best char. - 3-5 Echos needed to figth Orobys and improve our corruption. - 1-3 echos to grant access to a blessing boss. These farmings are VERY ANNOYING and need QOL improvements. Haha I had the same issue against The Emperor of Corpse with my traversal skill as a paladin to avoid his big AOE. The fist one is ok, the skill works but others are bugged. You can also try Volatile reversal with the max 4s remote against Chronomancer Julra. I guarantee you a funny surprise bug :)
I agree on all this , corruption is pretty much as maps in poe 1-16 kinda and in poe if u did t16 ur alts can all access t16 if you feel they are strong enough to do it
Except in LE it's a lot more final ... In Poe you can run a t1 map even if you have 4 void stones ... In LE if you have 500 corruption you are stuck with 500 corruption you can't go back down to 100 corruption without playing 500 content
You pretty much just echoed everything I've been saying about the game as well. Hopefully they will listen to the feedback and make some of these changes for future cycles
the whole thing with corruption being character bound has to do with the fact that the game currently has not much to offer in terms of content. I think as soon as they start adding new things to the game, they will make corruption account based.
2 things id do -the catchup mechanics between monoliths on the same character, share that to the entire league -if youve done all 3 quests in a mono zone let us skip the first 2 quests and just do the boss (you would still need to reach its stability requirements ofc) -DO NOT share blessings ever account wide cuz that would suck every time you want to play an alt ... Right now you only have to farm it once per char, if it gets changed you would have to do it EVERY TIME you swap chars even if they already exist
Add more ways to increase value to HP stacking, and low life non ward builds (like LICH for example) something like "6% increased effect of endurance while on low health". Ward is stupidly overtuned it feels like every single patch they add 5 more mechanics to stack ward, like the experimental affixes for "ward per missing health" and COMPLETELY forget about non ward builds, ward requires minimal investment to have its full power while at the same time they also benefit fully from other defensive layers such as armor/DR. In PoE if you go full on ES you run into the risk of neglecting you other defenses .
@@toukoenriaze9870 You still die if you go full evasion in POE if you get one shot evasion is useless, there are other plenty defensive layers you need to care about first. Here you get some ward you don't have to think about one shots, you don't have to dodge you don't care about health leech etc etc, ward should be optional not mandatory. Sorry your comparison is bad.
Not sure if sharing corruption level between monoliths would be good. Imagine to have share progression. So main build push very high corruption. Then alt build either play regular monoliths or need to be as good for max corruption. With diff corruption levels you could try alt build on diff levels
the issue every arpg has imo is mainstat/scaling. PoE life bases builds struggle way more compared to ES based builds, Diablo 3 Int classes get damage out of int+ resistances, int scales with ward,spell damage etc. life/strenght gives you soooo little life and maybe some armor,armor mitigates physical damage but not ele damage in most cases, thats why ward/int feels so much better+ you have to invest way more into strenght/life based builds, thats what i hate the most in arpgs. LE has the same issue, either go life based build and struggle with resistances or something else or go int,get ward,ES or whatever it gives and have a way easier time capping resis etc. if i want to play a life based shaman for example but it scales with attunement or int, how do i get more life,cap my resis,get crit immune and all the def layers? you have to invest so much more. meanwhile ES based classes get stun immune, EHP from ES/int sacaling etc. its a flaw in every single arpg imo.
The developers already spoke about changing the blessings on the fly, and they are working on that for QOL. As long as you have discovered the blessing that it.
buff hp regen life and endurance treshold affixes on gear and nerv all the ward gain from missing health items its just to mutch passive ward for no investment ( its like you would gain more recoup in poe for each% missing health)
A great feedback video. I fully agree with how bad account-wide progression feels and how it discourages trying out more builds. With regards to blessings, I think that the fix can be really easy: Instead of swapping a blessing on boss kill, players should instead permanently acquire / upgrade the blessing they choose. Then, players can swap the blessings at a later point at will. This also makes it less frustrating when you want to upgrade a blessing, but it's not in the selection during a boss kill. You can then simply choose another blessing to acquire / upgrade for potential later use. If the collected blessings are then available account-wide with level restrictions or if they only apply to a single character is another discussion.
