More Visual Cues
It would be helpful to have more visual cues and reminders about character builds and skill trees, so players can better understand how their choices affect their gameplay.
Improved Inventory Management
A better inventory management system would be great, with features like automatic sorting and more customizable filters.
More Thematic Content
I'd love to see more thematic content and storylines that tie into the game's dark fantasy setting, to make the game feel more immersive and engaging.
New Player Tutorials
Tutorials or guides for new players would be really helpful, covering basic concepts like character creation and skill selection.
More Cosmetic Options
More cosmetic options for characters, like additional clothing and accessories, would be a great way to express individuality and creativity.
Better Social Features
Path of Exile could benefit from better social features, like integrated chat rooms or guilds, to make it easier for players to connect and cooperate.
Currency Display
Display prices in local currency, Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH), in the inner store to avoid confusion for Ukrainian players.
Language Option
Offer a language option for Ukrainian players to choose from instead of forcing them to use English as the default language.
Price Updates
Regularly update prices in the inner store to reflect the current market prices in Ukraine and avoid confusion.
Currency Conversion
Provide a currency conversion feature to convert prices from UAH to other currencies, making it easier for international players.
Reinstate Shape Feature
I believe it would be incredibly helpful for colorblind players like myself to have the shape feature reinstated for socket and gem identification
Provide Alternative Visual Assistance
Beyond shape features, I think additional visual aids such as highlighting, flashing, or color-changes for specific gems and sockets would greatly aid in identifying what goes where
Offer Customization Options
I think it would be wonderful if the game allowed for users to customize their visual experience, such as changing background colors, increasing contrast, or adjusting colorblind-friendly schemes
Create a Colorblind-Friendly Mode
I think it would be incredibly helpful to have a specific mode designed with colorblind users in mind, complete with high contrast, large text, and colorblind-friendly visuals
Turn off music
I wish there was an option to turn off the annoying music played by the band pet in cities, it's so distracting and annoying.
Music volume control
I would love to have the option to adjust the music volume in cities, it's too loud and overwhelming.
New music genres
It would be great if the band pet could play different music genres, it would add more variety to the game and make it more enjoyable.
Music muting
Sometimes I just want to focus on other aspects of the game, it would be great if I could mute the music temporarily.
Optional music
I would love to have the option to turn off music entirely, maybe for players who prefer a more silent experience.
Improve music quality
The music sounds low-quality and cheap, it would be great if the developers could improve its quality and make it more enjoyable.
Improve Server-side
I believe that if the developers had considered server-side nerfs, they could've handled the situation better. Players would've had more control over their progress, and the community would be less divided.
Adjust Power Balance
I think it would've been better to adjust the power balance between the characters instead of nerfing a specific one. This would've maintained fairness and balance in the game.
Communicate with the Community
If the developers had communicated better with the community, we could've had a more positive reaction to the nerf. They should've listened to our concerns and addressed them proactively.
Review Feedback Loops
I think the developers should've implemented a better feedback loop, so they could gather more accurate data on how players felt about the changes. This would've helped them make better decisions in the future.
Competitive Balance
I believe that competitive balance is crucial in a game like this. The devs should've ensured that the nerf didn't disrupt the balance and create more problems.
Streamers' Feedback
The devs should've considered streamers' feedback and incorporated it into their decision-making process. This could've led to a more satisfying outcome.
Simplify Game Mechanics
I understand nothing of the systems left in the game, it's too complex, 5+ hours of research needed to comprehend it.
Loot Filter Accessibility
Why is it only accessible through Grinding Gear Games account feature? It should be free and accessible for everyone.
Build Importation
No way to import builds made by others, it makes it hard to get started with the game.
Easy Access to Information
No easy acces to Information about things you don't understand in the game, a basic text guide with searchable keywords would be helpful.
Game Quality of Life
It feels like all they did over the years is add system on system without considering how new or returning players can interact with those.
More Levels
I would love to see more levels added to the game, including more challenging ones for experienced players.
More Variety in Enemies
Adding more variety in enemies would make the game more exciting and unpredictable.
Gameplay Mechanics Tweaks
Some tweaks to the gameplay mechanics would make the game more responsive and engaging.
Better Soundtrack

I would love to see more customization options for the character, this would make the game feel more personalized.
Improved Multiplayer
Improving the multiplayer aspect of the game would be a major boost to its replayability.
More Environment Interaction
Allowing players to interact with the environment more would add a new layer of depth to the game.
Storyline Development
Developing the storyline and characters would make the game feel more immersive and engaging.
New Game Modes
Introducing new game modes would keep the game fresh and exciting for players.
Better AI
Improve the AI to make the enemies more challenging and responsive.
More Power-Ups
Adding more power-ups would give players more options and add a new layer of strategy to the game.
Improved Graphics
Improved graphics would make the game look more visually stunning and immersive.
Better Controls
Tweaking the controls would make the game more responsive and easier to play.
More Levels for Solo Play
Adding more levels for solo play would make the game more replayable.
New Items to Discover
Adding new items to discover would make the game more exciting and explorative.
Improved Camera
Improving the camera would make the game easier to navigate and more immersive.
More NPCs
Adding more NPCs would make the game feel more alive and interactive.
New Arcades to Discover
Adding new arcades to discover would add a new layer of depth and exploration to the game.
Better Difficulty Balance
Improving the difficulty balance would make the game more challenging and rewarding for players.
More Interaction with the Environment
Allowing players to interact with the environment more would add a new layer of depth and exploration to the game.
Proper Support Team
I think the game or companies are extremely dependent on having a proper support team. I've been trying to change an email for 8 days and nothing. The support team is non-existent.
Improve Email System
The email system is broken or outdated, it needs to be updated to allow players to easily contact the support team.
Increased Support Hour
The support team should be available 24/7 to help players with any issues or problems they may have.
Clearer Policy
There should be a clear policy for handling players with issues or problems, it's unclear what to expect and this causes frustration.

I remember 10 year ago, when I started playing the game and dreamed of getting a Mirror of Kalandra and today after 4186h got my first Mirror. Best 10 years of grinding games.

Eu sou um pai de 45 anos, provavelmente uma das pessoas mais velhas a jogar este jogo. Sou pai solteiro criando meu filho, que agora tem 14 anos. Meu filho ganhou este jogo de seu tio, então o instalamos em seu computador e ele começou a jogar. Até o final da semana ele tinha 24 horas neste jogo. Isso foi horrível para mim, pois já era difícil encontrar maneiras de passar o tempo com meu filho, pois ele está sempre com os amigos ou apenas assistindo ao YouTube. Então eu decidi fazer uma conta no Steam e pegar esse jogo para ver se eu poderia jogar ao lado dele. Eu comprei o jogo, escolhi minha skin e mundo e comecei a jogar, mas eu estava preso no que você deveria fazer. Pedi ajuda ao meu filho e ele organizou um jogo para eu participar. Adorei, pois foi o melhor momento que passei com meu filho desde que minha esposa morreu. Desde então, esse jogo aproximou eu e meu filho novamente e agora passamos um tempo juntos fora de casa também. Este jogo me lembrou que há diversão em tudo, e trouxe muitas lembranças felizes para mim e meu filho.

  • Sentiments

    • I'm a 45-year-old father who's possibly one of the oldest to play this game. I'm a single parent raising my 14-year-old son, who got this game from his uncle. I started playing with my son and even created a Steam account so we could play together.
    • At first, I was stuck on what to do. I asked my son for help and he organized a game for me to join. I loved it because it was the best moment I've had with my son since his mother passed away.
    • This game brought my son and me closer together and now we spend quality time together outside of home too.
    • I usually have a hard time finding ways to spend time with my son, as he's always with his friends or watching YouTube.
    • I used to have a hard time finding ways to spend quality time with my son.

    • I'm a little daunted by the skill tree
    • I highly recommend the game

Negative

Гра ніби непогана в цілому - цікави механіки, гарна картинка, чудова музика (вона правда дуже чудова), але те, що в 24му році у внутрішньому магазині ціни вказані в рублях - це навіть не смішно вже. І це враховуючи навіть, що за замовчуванням мене приєднує до німецького сервера, а мова в налаштуваннях англійська. Бляха, в самому Стімі гривня з 17го року. Купа ігор із внутрішніми магазинами давно вже перейшли на адекватну інформацію по цінах в Україні. А це просто сором.

  • Sentiments

    • The game has interesting mechanics, good graphics, and excellent music.
    • However, prices in the in-game store are listed in rubles (Russian currency) instead of Ukrainian currency.
    • This is even more surprising considering my default region is set to Germany and the language is set to English.
    • It's already ridiculous that a Steam store in Ukraine still has prices in rubles and not in hryvnia (Ukrainian currency) since 17th year.
    • Games from in-game stores have long stopped providing accurate price information in Ukraine.
    • This is just embarrassing.

Negative

I want to enjoy this game, but as a colorblind person, the developer just seems to want to make it impossible to play. I remember years ago, I think while it was in beta, they had shapes for the sockets and gems and that helped immensely. I have tried this game out a few times in the years since that shape feature was removed, and I just cannot tell what gems go into what sockets. Various filters and third-party fixes just do not help. I do not understand why such an easy and useful feature was removed and remains missing and ignored.

  • Sentiments

    • I'm extremely frustrated with the lack of accessible features in this game.
    • I remember a previous feature that helped me with color identification.
    • I've tried to use filters and third-party fixes, but they haven't helped.
    • I don't understand why a simple and useful feature was removed.
    • This feature was ignored and remains missing.

Negative

That stupid band pet that plays music in the cities every 5 seconds with no option to turn it off? The worst thing that has ever existed in gaming.

  • Sentiments

    • I strongly dislike the feature of a band pet that plays music in the cities every 5 seconds with no option to turn it off.

Negative

Go ahead, let's nerf in the middle of the season something that ordinary players spent 300+ hours working on, because of one streamer with 100 slaves on delivery

  • Sentiments

    • The reviewer is extremely dissatisfied and feels frustrated with the decision to nerf a game mechanic, especially since it would affect players who have invested a lot of time and effort.
    • The reviewer is criticizing the game developers for their decision, which they feel is unfair and unnecessary.
    • There is a sense of disappointment and betrayal in the reviewer's words, as they feel that their hard work and progress will be undone.
