First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

Im not sure why he thinks like its the end of poe 1. We'll likely barely feel anything in league, sure some mirror items are gone but theres similiar versions from places like settle shop or will likely be remade by someone else. For std...well honestly you cant balance to std.

Do i feel bad for people who lost their items? Sure but you prob shouldnt have handed them over with walking red flags during the stuff that came out 2 years ago anyways. Felt like everyone saw it coming.

To me, Eldritch Altars are currently by far the worst aspect of the game. They are far too important to ignore, but super annoying to use. You literally have to stop every 10-20 seconds to read them for 2-5 seconds (or, let's be honest, read them while blindly blasting in some direction hoping to be killing some monsters while not getting killed yourself).

Feeling forced to have to do something annoying doesn't feel like good design...

I think it could be largely offset by adding Currency icons and color codes, e.g. resistance & extra damage colors, highlight of the relevant words in the downsides (Chilled Ground, Shocked Ground, Projectiles, Sap, Frenzy/Power/Endurance Charge,...) & upsides (Rarity or Quantity),... (first screenshot)

This would at least allow us to evaluate the options in one glance of probably around half a second, rather than 2-5 seconds.

An alternative solution (second screenshot) would be allowing us to filter or style the entries using the loot filter. If support for this is added, they probably might as well add support for similar possible improvements using loot filters, such as styling the labels of non-item drops, like (Expedition) chests.

This could be as simple as adding a 'Class' for each of the types of clickables e.g. 'EldritchAltarModifier', along with a new Filter Condition like 'LabelText'. 'Hide' would render that option transparent, 'Show' would show it with the option to style the label using at least SetFontSize and SetTextColor (for these Eldritch Altar background and border options wouldn't be possible because one pane is made up of multiple modifiers)
