You could just as easily say it does fulfill some goals of the game by making the player feel powerful and rewarding the player for being attentive to what's happening, and there isn't an objective way of comparing the benefit from meeting some goals with the detriment from going against others.

I had lot of hope in you guys developing good game ,but the game got major flaws for me ,to major to survive in my eyes.

The most important in game is battle systems ,because be honest ,you play games like that to mopfloor with dozens of enemies for your enterteiment.
So it should look cool ,it should be diverse and player should have nice possiblity to developer his character towards his own style of masacring enemy.

This game dont give this possibility at all.
Since the 9.1 i played the game in battle system looks the same.
Mana system - annoying at start ,later can be ignored cuz it scale badly removing any limitation in casting of your skill.
Almost all skill cost mana - due to above thing ,you have no limit in using them.
No limit in casting skills - pick one ,the best one ,because there is always the best one (maybe pick two for single target and aoe) and max them. What for picking the trash skills that are weaker in game where are no cooldowns?
Cast of same skill got always same animation - due to the above ,you end up watching your character using same animation for 18923712803 hours to kill enemies ,thats not cool ,but yeah some people like watching 1 animation for infinite amount of time.

Note that i dont count buff/debuff skills ,since they are just support skills. Most important are attack skills in this type of games ,since you spam them alot.

So GGG what are you planing to do with this giant problem ,yes its giant since ask yourself ,how long player can stand casting 1-2 same skills from begining to the end of game?

Then you need to understand how HP and MP steal effect is overpowered in any game ,i mean rly in any. Its must have ,it give lot of defensive and offensive power to the character.
In game like poe where you hit tons of enemies for tons of dmg you leech more than potions give you ,and that should be never possible.

I would add new 2 stats to the game that would resolve the problem. Max HP and Max MP steal cap per spell casted (no matter if single target or aoe ,its not per target ,its per spell).
The base lets say its +1 per lvl ,you can incrase it with passives and gear. Meaning you normaly would have only 50 HP/MP resotration per spell casted on 50lvl ,though you could incrase it to like 100 with gear/skills with would be much better than around 1000 per hit now.

You need to make MP system scale well with lvl and gear ,and add more limitation to skills ,the stronger ones.
You should always pay noticable price for casting powerfull spells.
Add combos ,synergy between skills and cross skills.

I know you dont wanna add cooldowns to game ,though i dont get your logic at all.
Cooldown = limitation to skill = dont want to add.
MP = global limitation to skills = added ,though global limit is way more harder to balance and control by developer.
Sense = there is noone.

The game isn't fun because animations and sounds need complete overhaul (killing mobs no fun), voiceacting and a proper story needed for the sense of why we're doing this, passive tree is a big failure, poor itemization (needs more items, set items and more affixes), no powerful skills, very poor boss battles and so many features are missing such as proper trading, grouping, PVP and its ranks.


I would be hopeful for a fun game in the release if there weren't problems with animations, sounds and the passive tree. I don't think they're gonna change. Boss battles are doubtful too.

i skipped some of your legit issues that i agree with, but imo this major one is on you. there are so many different builds that promote vastly different playstyles, yet you chose to essentially spam 1 melee skill all game long? no wonder you are bored.

the game as currently constructed is still too easy, but if you search a bit further you can find very interesting builds that do promote fun gameplay.
