Movement speed still ruining the experience

[Jeemoo11]

I don't understand why they haven't just increased base movement speed by 15-20%

They are going to have to increase movement speed at some point or the game will die. There's a reason everyone rolls Ranger and even that isn't enough speed tbf.

cry... cry never ends...

GGG can increase movement speed. They'll also increase monster's attack speed and action speed, plus projectile speed, as well as area activation speed. So there would be a zero net gain.

[Jeemoo11]

It's not about gaining an advantage vs monsters it's about how slow and tedious mapping feels right now.

[Touki0]

I'd like an increase in movement speed even if it's a zero net gain because I can actually get around without feeling shackled.

That's the purpose of crafting or finding yourself some 30% movement speed boots... Manage your armor which slow you down (there's a nod in the passive tree skill for this). Why people are such whinner and have to have everything giving to them... grind a little bit. And I guess they didnt even know this before whining.

And no the game won't die because of this, its been like this since poe1 which lasted a good 10 years and still running... Tell your mad and ignorant in the same sentence.

Problem is this game is chock full of downsides and RNG. You could have 35% move speed, but what are the odds that you'll also have that with resistances or another stat that you need to.... survive? Now you have to choose, speed or survival? Obviously survival, but the problem with choosing survival is that your too slow to dodge anything because of slow effects, staggers, and how fast everything comes at you. Let's try speed then, well if you get caught on ice, or a snow patch you're slowed anyway and just get deleted from just about everything.

What's the alternative? The same since 0.1.0. Save up exalts in campaign mode, and buy the gear you're looking for in poe trade site. This is boring.. I wish more crafting items would drop so I could actually craft. This game treats crafting items like currency instead of... items to craft with? Like if a divine orb is that rare there's no incentive to use it. Just trade it in for an item you need on the trade site. This game has 0 incentive to spend your crafting items to craft with.

Path of Exile is a grind game, you'll always struggle to balance stats and choose between two one, because you can't have every one avaible. Since poe1 its like this... This game is all about craft, shop and grind. There plenty of movement speed boost in the passive tree, boots and movement skill like Dash.

You have to theorcraft your way.

And many people doesnt know this, but armour have hidden penalty...
Armor, in this game, actually adds a movement speed penalty to the character. For the body, this is 5% for armor types, 4% for hybrid armor, and 3% for items that don't have armor. This also applies to shields, with 3% loss for armor bases, 1.5% for hybrid armor, and none for non armor bases.

Make your build and craft around the knowledge you gather, dont wait for GGG to hand over all this. This is the game, if you dislike grind and struggle of theocrafting, you play the wrong game.

I don't hate it in it's current form, but being able to move faster would be nice. Some of the end game maps are a pain to traverse like hidden grotto for example. You miss a monster or have to fight a map boss and you might have a nice boring 3 minute walk back to it after you clear the rest of the map.

Snail's pace is "The Vision." The guy in charge deluded himself into believing slower movement against faster HP-sponges = "more meaningful combat." Of course it makes the game a slog, but at least the loot's good.... Oh, um... oops.

You clearly know nothing about the games if you think "It's been like this since POE1." I mean tell me you don't play the games without telling me you don't play the games...

I have multiple Level 90 characters and have max movement speed possible on all of them. It's still far too slow. "Manage your armour." LOL

[Operation40]

when I listen to the footsteps of my character, I think, "slog slog slog slog slog slog"

yet another problem that was already fixed in poe1 - sprint flasks, flame dash, leap slam, whirling blades, etc.. heck there's even a vendor recipe to get movement speed boots for league starters.

With max speed you feel it too slow ?! Yeah like I would believe it, I'm fine with 33%. Just bear with it, because even if you whine all days, it wont change. Agreed or not, devs have their vision. Still mad ?! You can quit, no one torn your arms to play. And you might not know it, but armour really have hidden movement speed penalty, and this part can be rework to improve. You see this is more constructive comment than just whinnig without giving suggestions.
Who know what next league adds will be ? Like I will whine on an Early Access that have half classes and skills avaible... just chill out. It might be rework, or not. And if you don't like there plenty of other game on steam for you to play.

You sure have couple of level 90 characters ?! Thats doesnt make your comment more credible.

Next time, just whine on the official path of exile forum... write your feedback. It's more useful than whining on steam disccusion which devs dont read.

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2213

Repeat after me, Early Access, half classes out. Early Access half classe out. You feels better now ? This will take a year or more of testing again... just chill out or come back later.

[Mr.Crowley]

games like a liberal that just wont flush

[Densiz]

endgame speed is fine.
problems are early and mid game. you dnt have access to 35 movement speed boots. this sucks.
this is why im playing dex/int build on my classes. extra 5 from body feels rlly good until 35% speed boots. (playing ssf, rlly hard to get 35%)

dnt want to talk about str shields (-5%)

I said even the ranger feels too slow. Who plays ranger with armour? Armour is broken anyway and is a terrible stat. ES and Evasion are far superior.

Movement speed is nowhere near what it is like in POE1. I can be 100% faster quite easily. This is compounded by the larger maps.

They will increase movement speed in this game down the line. It's inevitable.

Finally, let's have open discourse about problems rather than slinging insults and calling people whiners. It just makes you look like a child. Repeat after me "I will learn to behave like a civilised grown up."
