Trash of Exile: 1000 hrs PoE 2 with friends... last man standing. GGG you failed!

TLDR:

1: Get you Priorites in order! First get the game in a playable state (for PC AND Console) then focus on features/uniques!

2: More (rare/unique) loot is not the answer - it is the problem. Are we playing a garbage separation facility simulator or an (M?)RPG?

Read if you want:

1: My friends started PoE in January on PS5 - they conviced me later starting at Ferurary - they are not willing to play that game any more (since 0.2) as they are stuck every 2-3 Map in eternal loading screen that has not been adressed by you - no public acknowledgement so far - just the statement, that there are not very much Console players - therefore no focus on that... sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy for me -.-

Myself on PC: ASUS BIOS up to date, Seasonic 1600W, Ryzen 7950x3d, Geforce 4090, 96 GB RAM, CPU and GPU watercooled with 2 x 420 radiators - no critical temp probs on Furmark and P95 - W11 optimized all crap away - able to play very demanding Games smoothely - Sim Games on VR like MS Flight Sim or DCS -> smooth no stuttering.

But since 0.2 i expierence more and more paused reloads of the graphic context (up to 2-3 of them on each map or even 2-3 on one ritual or boss fight etc.) I know abut the workaround with Nvidia GPUs crash the game and therefore the "workaround". The worst part is that i wish it was in a state bofore that "workaround" and was crashing, which was less frequent than theese freezed reload of the graphic context... And that stuttering because of random CPU spikes.. Very frustrating.

0.2.1 had no change on this... More frustrating...

A lot of Copium is around how to fix this problem... set shadows on low.. in gamne chat is causing high CPU spikes.. blah blah blah... -.-

No, my PC is not overheating and their componets are clocking down and no, it does not have enough RAM an no, because my game has CPU usage spikes it is due to ingame chat and no.. my friends don't want to restart (or even worse) their PS5 every 2nd-3rd map or every time on Trial of Chaos...

Set this to priority number 0 not 1! No new features, no new Uniques... It is time for feature freeze and fixing until this game is playable for everyone (PC/XBOX/PS5) and not for the lucky ones which spread copium solutions to fix problems they don't really experience, because they do not have the regarding hardware or maybe live in the regarding area (e.g. EU vs. US vs. Asia servers - who knows -.-).

2: And then we can talk about your broken RNG.. e.g. why 2 hidden Grottos on the same Tablet an the very similar Waystones give very contradicting results on loot/rituals (amount of tribute) etc. and why to put effort into "juicing" up tablets/maps/atlas on rarity/quantity/omen quantity...

the last time i got an Omen of Whittling is about 2-3 weeks ago, before that i got them 1-2 per day... i play on a regular basis 3-4 hours daily.. weekends more...

After reading your:

"

Adjusted the appearance of all Omens, the same number of Omens appear but which omens they are has been adjusted heavily to have the rare, and more powerful ones appear more frequently. The rarest ones should appear six-times more frequently in the Ritual Tribute Window as an example.

I felt kinda excited and i already prepared an area with Tablets for getting that POWERFUL Omens... ready to do some POWERFUL crafting... but it ended - as usual - in frustration, when i realized that after that garbage omens the only ones were an Omen of Corruption and an Omen of Greater Anulment - the usual stuff but in higher quantity but more towards the lower rarity...

A frustration like killing a Rouge Exile and getting the usual loot to dispose it into the dungeon where it dropped to.

Rogue Exiles in Endgame Areas have a much higher chance to spawn with Unique Items.

Oh.. One of them dropped a Unique item today!!! Exiting... And it is Corrupted!!! Wow... and it is the same like the other stuff that i don't even bother to look at after i realized that it is not worth looking at it...
