Early Access Review
Early Access review all topics I talk about are subject to change. If this would be the full release it would clearly be a NO for me.

First of all, I never witnessed a game manage to crash and freez a pc to the point it needs to be shutdown with the powerbutton.

In my opinon the Early Access got way to much attention that hopefully don't end up taxing on the full release.

Moving all the mobility spells into the mid to lategame is such a bad idea, making monster pile up on the player with the only option to panic spam space in hope to escape.

Some Abilitys wind-up way to long making the player stagnate on one position for atleast 1s, while the monster move at 1,5x the speed of the player having enough time to cancel the players wind-up or make it impossible to not take damage.

Monster most of the time aggro offscreen independent of line of sight or elevation levels.
Lots of bodyblock, monster bodyblocking themself, players bodyblocking themself in multiplayer

a lot of maps are just squares with narrow bridges or big maps filled with so many details that its hard to understand what is accessible and what not

Gear progression is also pushed into lategame and without trading I still would walk around with my lv 33 boots at level 60+ cause they rolled good stats and making a new pair with the same stats would cost more then the game is giving to the player.

Bosses are fun to fight but most of the time they make big damage moves without indicator or they do a 1 shot ability with a save location, but at the same time the boss cast a second ability on the only save spot the player can stand.

Spirit is a great change to mana reservation making it way more manageable.

The new gem system also pushes all progression into lategame and gives little room to improve in the first acts.

I would like to see your build when you type L2P, you might play some min maxed build you got from google.

Also the Mighty Silverfist doing his roll attack giving no information at all, he just rolls at you and if the hitbox not buggin out or the evasion chance not rolling in your favor your done.

Azak Bog witch is exactlly doing what i typed down, she build walls left and right of the player forcing him to walk behind her, but befor she finishes the animation she also casts the next spell behind her.

U clearly dont know what to expect from " Early Access". Just bad player. U talking about Bosses dont do any hints for attacks, thats just not true. ALWAYS a sound clue before attack, but guess u new to poe. L2P and get better
