what seems to be the main things people want in the game?

from what i have seen these look like the most wanted changes... from most agreed on to least agreed on... what do you guys think?

PANTS:
pants seems to be the only thing people can agree on...

tho i would say it is more they want armor to effect the lower body rather then all armor having pants.
for instance some leather gear should/could be a thong and some a skirt if your char is female and other such things...



DIFFICULTY:
the players seem pretty divided on this...
i think i have a pretty easy solution... mix it a bit.
for instance in normal difficulty don't have the cannibals throw that burning bottle or the fox things in prison gate leave fire on the ground when they die...
introduce these things in higher difficulties... this way no one could say normal is too difficult.

also adding more stuff like this and different kinds of mobs as you get higher up in difficulties would make it feel more like your making progress then playing the same exact content again. :)



Drop pick up:
for the closed beta community FFA drops were just fine... and many of us prefer it over the current system or over any system at all.
BUT.... we really do have to prepare for open beta trolls and ninja looters... while in a perfect world we could just instantly BAN them... that isn't really going to happen.

really the best option here is just to let people have options... and show the current party drop system in the party screen and maybe let people click a check box to hide the drop system partys they don't want.

EXP: drops - FFA (5 second binding of random items)

Desync:
Fix it.

Pants I'll agree to...

But I don't agree to the difficulty. When I came to this game a little over a week ago, one of things that got me hooked was the difficulty. You actually do have to pay attention and think in this game! That is instant WIN for me!

The current loot system works great if you are melee, if you're ranged, don't expect to get many upgrades if you're grouped with randoms...

Camera Zoooom out more !!!!

did you miss the part about adding those things back in in higher difficulties?
you have no idea how many times i have made a new char and am helping new people threw terrance and they keep dieing and i have to tell them not to stand in the flames. >.<

Yeah, this would be nice. I get sync issues on occasion, and from the sounds of it others get it more often.

yah it goes up and down for me... last week i could barley play. :'(

My biggest dreams for the game are thus:

1. Classes: Both genders and customizable.
Should be a no-brainer, but I understand why they don't have them (yet?). First of all, it would take a long time to make a new version of every class, and for what? It's not a big deal to most people, even me. I prefer playing a female, but I have my witch and ranger. That's plenty for now, and especially as I can easily customize their skills to go semi-melee if I want to. And with 100 levels in the beta alone plus far more gameplay than I can possibly get through -and- more acts pretty much confirmed every single year after launch (check the FAQ), I don't know if I'll ever find the time to get bored of two characters. Much less five. On top of it, there's the whole "It's not classes, it's charactes" thingy. But let's not go there.

2. Mounts.
Yes, I know. "We go a few steps, then fight." "This is not an MMO." "Mounts are pointless." And so on and on. And most of those points are valid enough. But I was a huge fan of Sacred and Sacred 2, and Sacred 2 -did- have mounts. Not only that, but they were awesome, and you could even fight while mounted. In fact, just look at this clip. How is that not pure awesomeness? And why can't we have that in PoE eventually?

(note I said both of these are dreams, and I don't expect to have either of them in the game any tme soon. The first option, maybe, but that's a longshot. And the second? Not gonna happen on this side of the year 2020. Still a nice dream, though.)

I'm going against the curve here, but the one thing I *really* want in this game is something they already said they are going to work on, but I find it very important--combat flow. The game is clunky, the character animations stiff, and tightness of control on the character is lower than what it should be.

Oh, and btw, I don't agree that we need pants. They're overrated. :P

Aside from balance tweaks here and there, Desync tops my list. I don't mind little bits here and there.. some lag is to be expected from time to time. But the amount of desync in this game is absurd. I have faith that it'll be adressed in time.

im all for the girl chars not wearing tops too. ;)
maybe that will be a cash shop thing? :D
lol, probably not, but if they don't use a anti-hack thing some one will probably make a mod for it. :p

the only thing i have with the combat so far is i think some of the skills should be castable while moving...
...and not really combat related but some of the skills should stick when you change maps, like Minions (i think they said they will change maps with you) and Auras (i hope)

this is a problem that has crept in the last couple patches...
it has gotten a little better this last week... but it would be nice to see it back to how it was running before.

the stress test they had was the least laggy stress test i have ever played in.
