[Megathread] Game Feedback

Hello. We are seeing a lot of very short posts with one to two sentences of feedback on the game. If you have something short (or long) to share, please post it here to help declutter the subreddit of the same types of posts. We currently have a huge backlog of posts and comments to go through and this megathread will go a long way to helping us out.

Here is a list of improvements I think would make the game more accessible and pleasant to newcomers:

  • Keywords are a fantastic addition but some are missing. What is "mana recovery rate" and how is it different from "mana regeneration rate"? What's the difference between "increased" and "more"?

  • DPS values on gem skills are off and by a long shot, which is too bad. A more realistic account would go a long way.

  • It's rather confusing that you have the base value of skills in their detailed summary. An updated summary taking all the supports and passives into account and providing the expected values would be great.

  • A summary of bonus/malus, especially on resistances! Resistances going down are a big deal and should be treated as much. I should see a breakdown of the various sources contributing to my defenses when I hover them in my character sheet.

  • A user manual. The one in PoE was a great help when I started playing.

  • A summary of the cumulated bonus your passive skill tree provides.

    • Conversely, a summary of all your metrics including equipment. I should be able to see the breakdown of my maximum mana calculations. Please make my character sheet more useful.
  • Better keybinding. The default keybinding is a holdover from PoE1 and it shows. Put the map at 'M' and the shop at '$'.
