Some of this may come of a bit harsh, but it's supposed to be taken as constructive criticism, so before I mention a few things that are really starting to bother me, let me just thank Obsidian for making this amazing game in the first place! Now, I know that many of these things may be low on your priority list to fix, but when you have hundreds of such small issues, your game will die a sad death of a thousand small cuts! Please don't let this happen, because I want to see PoE3.
Anyway, bugs, glitches, annoyances...
1. Optimization - I know this has already been discussed to death, but my game is experiencing huge frame spikes every 5-10 seconds, where the otherwise smooth gameplay turns into a stuttering mess. This is especially visible in Neketaka. Btw, I have a GTX 980TI with I7 processor and 32 GB of RAM, so my machine should be more than powerful enough to run this game without any hick ups. Hell, I play Witcher 3 on ultra settings at smooth 60 fps.
2. Floating text that is stuck over the dialogue screen - This is a bug that has existed ever since Beast of Winter came out. Obsidian said they are working to fix it back in august 2018 as you can see here. I know you guys have been working on TB combat, because you want to sell your game better to TB crowd, but these bugs make the game feel rushed, unpolished and unfinished - especially if the bugs have persissted for so long.
3. Text typos, wrong descriptions etc - The game is full with hundreds of small typos where an "is" or an "are" is missing from a sentance! On top of that I remember, when on day 1 I purchased the game, installed it and immediately noticed that the chain mail says it is good against slashing weapons, yet when I put it on I get a defense against crushing damage. Such small errors are present all over the game and have been present since day 1!
4. Floaty combat - I don't know what you did with pathfinding, but it's much worse than it was in PoE1. The enemies and characters float instead of run when engaging. Yes, they don't get stuck as often, but I would much rather have them get stuck once in a while, than to constantly look at horrible floaty animations in every single battle I engage. Please fix this!
These 4 things are nothing game breaking, but they leave any newcomer to the game with a very sour taste in their mouth. I havent even finished the game yet, because I keep waiting for patches that will address these issues. Can any dev please tell me if you even plan to fix these things? If so when? I will postpone my playthrough until these issues are resolved. Thanks!
oh PS.
5. When I enter sneak mode and select all my party, the sneak mode runs in super fast mode. You actually move faster by sneaking than with running....
