you will run into space rifts and they summon space demons, if you kill enough within the rift a space demon boss will show up and you have to hit it as much as you can for a loot explosion. also essences from the league that just passed are in for good

its actually not super hard to play thru that fast if you want to. i havent done it but its less about being super good at the game and more just knowing when to kill stuff and when to just run past bad guys

NPC quests were streamlined quite a bit, now the assassin and other "go do quest and run back to me" NPCs just teleport to where you are once you're successful, so no more pointless running through a dungeon for crafter quests.

if catarina asks you to bring minions back to her, now the minions burst into piles of loot so there's an actual incentive to do it beyond master xp grinding.

You can put on a filter. It'll hide all the chaff, and it's customizable ingame.

having played a lot of these recently thanks to this thread, it makes me think that something with a combat engine like D3's where each game takes max of an hour, and the combat is super fast paced would be fun. something like crimsonland in terms of perk progression, but with traditional ARPG click based sword and sorcery combat.

Fungah!

frankly its one of the main faults of the game, that and the inventory tetris with 50 different types of money. it doesn't start rearing its head until late hell mode, but man. it sucks finding a really good piece of armor and you have to toss it because that slot currently has +38% cold res you absolutely need

I stash a bunch of two stone rings and other rings with two or more resist for this same reason

i like PoE, but got sort of disenchanted and quit when my character mechanically could not beat the labyrinth boss and i realized i'd just wasted a few hours. i guess i could've ground past it, but that felt shameful.
