What would bring you back to POE2? What changes or new content would make you jump in without a second thought?

them abandoning their "vision" because they realize it was sh*t

[Firmament]

Personally, I really enjoy having rich gameplay content, a wide variety of build options, and strong replayability.
For example, in PoE1, mechanics like Betrayal, Bestiary, Delve, and Harvest were all very enjoyable and added a lot of depth to the game.

I hope PoE2 can offer a similar level of variety and long-term engagement.

A Witch rework. I liked her ascendancy classes in PoE1, hated them in PoE2. The flavors and mechanics were just garbage. After that Spirit needs a rework or thrown out the window or something. I've never felt so stifled in build creativity as I did with balancing spirit and pets and from what I've heard it has only gotten worse in recent patches.
So if we are being realistic I'm never coming back to PoE2, but that's what it would take.

Not having the game feel attrocious to play

They had the ARPG sweet victory offered to them on a silver platter

They only needed to remake POe1 keeping the good mechanics and reworking the bad ones

They instead scrapped it all and try to reinvent everything

That’s a solid management failure

They can keep what they have as an optional mode of play, while providing another mode that isn't a Souls-like, poverty, time-sink-simulator that punishes the player for playing with even trash mobs being faster and stronger, and womping with perpetual stuns & one-shots. Also, making players go to another website for in-game concerns is more theft of time, and likely a collection of personal data. Everything about the game should happen in the game, period. Also, build-balance and diversity isn't hard. Giving the illusion of playable builds instead of just admitting only a very small number of builds work is trash. This is a problem in several games. Devs pretend this is how it has to be, acting like they can't do math.

This. Drops overall are still abysmal, so is leveling and crafting. They want you to trade but trading is trash without an auction house. Even 20 times worse than warframe´s trading and that is already barely bearable.

- make alt leveling process less ♥♥♥♥. This can be achieved by:
•having quest perks like resists, spirit ,etc apply to all your characters within a league
• all skill gems have a level 1 version. Either directly available or through gem downgrade currency

- better balance the game to no be about 1 shots once again

- offer better sink for stuff that drops

• rune can be used as reagent while spawning a map, the nature of the rune affects the nature of the modifiers added and items dropped . Want better odds of finding items with life? Use the life rune when spawning a map

• bring back alteration through a crafting bench recipe that costs lots of transmutes

- get rid of the stupid weapon over restriction on skills. This stupid ass ♥♥♥♥ kills build diversity. Players will be mad when they learn that cyclone is sword only

- get rid of the stupid class restriction on ascendencies, open them to everybody

[Nyx]

the only reason I stopped was because I found out the characters won't be getting put into the standard league

To help make Path of Exile 2 even more enjoyable, I’d like to share some feedback.

In version 2.0 of POE2, many skills and passives have been nerfed, as detailed here:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3740562
From my personal experience, some of these changes have significantly impacted gameplay. For example, the combination of Spark + Archmage + Eldritch Battery feels particularly underwhelming — with 2900 mana, I can only cast Spark about nine times, and the damage has also been nerfed. I haven’t tested all the other nerfed skills or passives, but I believe many builds have been rendered unviable, which limits the diversity that was once a hallmark of the game.

In version 1.0, I found myself repeatedly playing T15 and T16 maps. I think it would greatly enhance POE2 if some of the legacy league mechanics from POE1 — such as Betrayal, Bestiary, Delve, and Harvest — could be reintroduced. These systems added a lot of depth and variety to the endgame, and bringing them back would make POE2 much more engaging.

- improve drops for campaign, I dont care what drops, but if I'm in act 2 and I'm still using drops from the first zone of the game that means I spent hours playing and gaining nothing

- until you fix defenses to where it's not just energy shield that works, none of the bosses should have ANY move that deals one-shot leathal damage unless max-capped on res; especially shouldnt be the case for normal campaign bosses in particular (or random white mobs just as you leave the first area). These mechanics may be not significant on characters power-leveling due to having levelup gear or ranged characters sporting the latest and greatest broken-meta-build but they're just pain in the ass and not fun for everyone else. It's especially bad when you nerf our movement/dodge speed (due to armor) and also require us to dodge out of death every time, complete nonsense, you have to be actively expecting it and moving out before they even start the moves. Meanwhile range is completely free.

- less restrictions on supports and skills. Theme isn't that great when everything is so themed there's only 2-3 ways to use them instead of freedom of expression, especially early on feels like your choices might as well we counted on 3-4 fingers

- if you're going to balance around trade and some crazy assumption everyone is a trade maniac then give SSF something, since the balance is terrible with you doing that as some requirement to play and treating SSF as if its some "unplayable league"

- if you want us to use combos then make combos always start with something that is decent vs trash mobs and 2nd and 3rd are bonuses on top of that; nobody wants to do a dance in front of the monsters before they have to do damage or "first give the mobs the chance to beat you up, and then you can hit them hard". Combos aren't bad, all your ideas for combos, are just bad currently

- if you want to make a ruthless style game then make that a mode OR give us a "classic" mode instead; honestly removing everything being currency and no gold feels like a downgrade from poe1.... gold is boring

I guess I'll try the new patch and see if they fixed the loot issue at least.

Change the game name to Path of Dark Souls or Path of Elden Ring, white mobs that can 1 hit KO you with 100% accuracy laser beam, eg. Eternal Knight/Sun Priest, increase area of explosion and damage during expedition so players can die instantly, -100% exp punishment every time you die, nerf all the classes & make sure all of them are unusable and broken, weak AF, make the game extremely harder into nightmare mode, and last but not least, make sure every players jump in and rage quit :)

[ominumi]

Able to inject Essence into Rare gear and not only white stuff. Using Exalted Orb just to get +Light Radius or Reduce Requirement is terrible design.

[Saiyan | A]

• In game auction house with autonomous buy/sell option
  
• Implicit movement speed on boots
  
• More loot!!
  
• Smaller maps (Act3 is horrendous)/ better map design
  
• Crafting (real crafting not whatever is now)
  
• More build variety
  
• Better optimization
