What are some of the things from Closed Beta that you remember?

Leaked footage of Vaal oversoul prototype and the drama surrounding it.

Granite Pot used to be 10 000armour, then it was nerfed to 4 000 as well as a second nerf to today's 3 000

I vaguely remember "slashing" and "thrusting" swords having separate damage nodes on the tree. I may be imagining things though.

Ah waiting for the timer to pick my name for the closed beta, then I finally caved in and bought early acces, best decision ever :D.

Minion Instability damaged for 100% of minion life.
Summoners were totally broken.
Spell totems had no casting penalties and no damage penalties when summoning skeletons.
Elemental cleave.
Instance boosting.
Partying had exp penalty when players were near each other.
Marohi Erqi was the shit.
Petrov's blood magic ranger.
OldManWithABot.
People could put auras on secondary weapon slot and they wouldn't disappear when switching back to primary slot. When this was fixed is still the most hysteric moment in poe history that I remember - the recent Elreon and Flaring changes ain't got shit on this.
7 aura duelist build.
Diamond Flasks gave 100% crit.
No melee splash/multistrike. Ewwwwwwwwwww.
Forever Fellshrine.
Oh and eternal laboratory was all crumbled, just like Zana's daily area now.

Getting ruined by hailrake on normal. Welcome to the game.
Phase run. Gods I miss phase run.
Summoners had to resummon *everything* *every zone*
Summons AI was terrible.
Summons die if you got to far away from them.
Cleave having an arc of about 45 degrees. It was at least a year before i used it again.
Arc was worse than useless
Freezing pulse was brutal.
Spork.
Groundslam had its own attack speed independant of weapon speed.
No AUS gateway, so min 200ms ping times
Wanting certain uniques so badly, and now not being able to remember what they were.
Awesome Global chat.

also my Firestorm/fireball build was actually viable in endgame maps, good luck with that now...

You realize those are some of the most buffed skills, right. They were far worse in CB.

I remember when lightning arrow dominated the game and splitarrow was never used.

I wasn't around back then, but what I remember from when I started was chain and gmp actually had some value.

I feel like in CB that GCPs were the most traded currency orb. Maybe I'm wrong.

No chaos res was perfect
