UberKull Beta Log...on going..

I've tested on many betas for different RPGs and MMOs. For this one, I'm going to keep a ongoing log until I decide there isn't more to add.

Again, I understand there are alot of changes coming. So some of my concerns/issues may be resolved by release.

First Impression
It's definitely a early beta. There are alot of additions needed.
1) For one, a tutorial area to get a feel for the skill system and other unique designs to POE.
2)The characters feel stiff. They have very little animations making them different. Attacks are very basic, no feeling of crushing power when you kill a huge group of monsters.
3) The item graphics are nice. Really feels different when you equip a different style of the same gear (shield look, helm, etc.)
4) There won't be any zoom or camera angle change available in this game? At least I'd like to be able to zoom into my character to see some detail.
5) When I switched to 1600x1050 resolution, there was no change in the UI component size or I didn't notice being able to see any more of the world then the lower resolution default setting.
6) As open as the world is advertised to be, it feels very confined, very much on rails.

More to come...

The character animations (I am a ranger) are good enough, but could use some extra pizazz in areas I guess :P. Also I am thinking maybe they should take out the realistic feel of having to turn around and such. Meaning, your character cannot just invert themselves, they have to do a 180. I like the more unrealstic responsive feel of Diablo 2 and Torchlight. Currently PoE has a bit more of a titan quest feel to it (sorry for all the comparisons lol), although it is better in my opinion.

I dont know how far you are in the game, but the world does get a lot better in act 2. That said, I would like to see some changes made, especially randomized exits.

It's a very valid comparison, this game is alot like Titan Quest in look and feel.

As far as the world is concerned, I'm trying to break out of the mindset I have from MMO freedom. I think overall POE's world is fine for a RPG.
