HI all.
First congrats to GGG,you are on your way to the top.
So lets get started...
THE GAME (IS FANTASTIC)...still needs work of course,fixes,patches....Its dumb to rate a beta,but all in one 7.5/10!
I have played duelist last stress-test weekend and i was disapointed...(mostly because i did not know what the hell i was doing :)
But this time a rearanged my skill tree,and let me tell u WOW! Completly difrent game when u start to understand the mehanics,skill tree...gems and and so on..
I found my self playing the whole sunday form 8-3:30,finished on normal,got killed on hard and said to my self..DAMN...enough :).
You have a great idea and have completly captured the spirit of d1&d2.You say "for free",ok (fantastic) just dont make another pay-to-win shit.
Dark atmosphere..screamin monsters,chanting of the necromancers,damn i was scared there for a moment till i bashed his head.Echoo in cave...fog,mist, baby thats all i need and very,very good gameplay,MOST IMPORTANT (FOR REAL GAMERS),not graphics.

P.S.
(with D3 lizzard wants to lure wow kids,not real funBoy D-series fanatics.There is only 10-20K of us who realy know what are we talking about,the rest just wants to get their hands on SHINY NEW WOW..i say F. that ;) Trust me when i say that the "10-20K funBoy" base has made D1&d2 popular,It will make your game allso,so dont worry!Keep hard working on great ideas,sucess comes with it.&sry for bad gramatics.PEACE FORM BOSNIA&HERCEGOWINA)


You claim you are "part of the 10 - 20k that know what they're talking about" and then you proceed to talk completely out of your ass. It is evident by your claim that you are "part of the elite" that you are, in fact, just another self-entitled swine who wants games catered specifically to them and blindly hates Blizzard because it's cool to do so. Diablo 3 is in no way like WoW, and not a single person working on D3 worked on WoW outside of the sound team.

You are very, very misinformed. Clearly you haven't even looked into what D3 is all about if you think it's trying to cater to WoW players. Try and wrap your brain around this: Blizzard wants people to still play WoW. They are catering to Diablo fans, not WoW fans. They don't want to take people away from WoW, they want to bring Diablo fans back to their games.

But you enjoy your PoE. I will too.
Playing both PoE AND D3 (and Grim Dawn when it's released).

Deal with it.

grow up and get over yourself. I LOVED diablo from release day of D1 up until d3. I was disappointed in some of the changes but I GOT OVER IT, because i am not a whiny brat.

to say that REAL fans of the diablo would forsake diablo 3 is stupidity. if you were a real fan you would be chomping at the bit to play regardless of any of these "outrageous" changes to it.

if you don't want d3 fine, but don't fool yourself into thinking you matter because of that. there are plenty REAL fans who will be playing tonight, too bad you're not one of them.

*Cheers* to hoping tpapp comes along to lock this travesty of a thread.

I've been keeping an eye on this thread and am prepared to lock it if the discussion gets out of hand. So far the posts have been relatively civil considering the purpose of these threads is to be uncivil.

I tend to leave a thread like this open if possible because it serves as a good troll/fanboy outlet. The raging and arguing and name-calling mostly happens here instead of spilling into other threads where actual meaningful discussions are being held. It's also true that if I lock or move this thread another one just like it will be made in a couple of days. Hopefully in a couple of months once D3 is old news these threads will become less common (wishful thinking).

I know some people tend to look at these threads and feel like the mods aren't doing their job. We've discussed in the past how we want to try to handle these threads and we definitely keep a close eye on how they develop to ensure they stay in bounds of the explicit forum rules.

I was a huge fan of the Doom series because I loved Doom 1 and 2. When Doom 3 came out, I got it the first day it was in stores, but I got bored of it very fast. It just wasn't the same as the previous games in the series. Since then I've been a lot more stingy with which games I pay for - I probably only pay for games 2-3 times a year, and usually cheap ones. I'm very careful with trying to figure out what the specific game is, before I buy it.

It's easy to define what a fan of a game is, but anyone who thinks they are a fan of a series is deluding themselves. Series change over time, and you can't expect gamers to just swallow what's being fed to them if they don't like it.

Gamers are supposed to have fun. Your definition of a "real fan" is a religious fanatic who needs mental help, not a gamer. There's nothing justified about having blind devotion to a game series.

Who, me? Please be more specific if you're going to call people or their remarks stupid.
I SEVERELY enjoyed the weekend, got to lvl 16-17 cant remember; so i may not have had a full experience of the game but from what i have played i fucking love it. Can hardly find any faults.

HOWEVER

I do agree that the animation seems a bit stiff, not atrocious, but stiff. Perhaps more visual impact with skills (coupled with sound effects?) would help. All in all a bloody good romp - can't wait to get my key/ until open beta so i can fully enjoy this marvelous game. Well done GGG! \m/

Wow really....this game is amazing

This game at first was great, on friday only because their were very few people logging on...

As for me im awaiting Diablo 3 so I know a load of people are looking for something to hold them off until it release monday..


It's released tomorrow (Tuesday), actually. And I'm installing it now. ;)

"
As for my thread the gameplay feels like crap, like a ps2 game or something, I feel like my character hits like a girl, or someone chopping at a damn tree.. Wheres the intense hit in a regular hit??? I dont want my other skills hitting just a tad bit harder... I want to see my enemy taking the blow to the damn head or body and flying a bit or a little animation.


If you don't like the game, don't play it. It's that simple. Personally, I love it.

"
The potions make no sense either... why do i have like 5 or 6 slots for potions that refill AND it only reloads one at damn time and barely my health ones...


I have two Medium and one Large health potions and two Medium mana potions for my Witch, and I keep running low all the time.

"
Also the combat is way off I cant even hit my damn target right without it moveing every damn time or missing a slight bit.... makes no sense for a miss on my skills either.


I don't have a problem with the combat at all. I swing my sword. I hit stuff. Stuff dies. What more do you want?

"
I dont know but this game wont be better then Diablo 3 but its a good attempt, and for 20 bucks or 10 you cant go wrong but I got 60$ so its all good. I want good gameplay but this feed back to help them out so....


Diablo 3 has a ginormous budget and a huge development team. Path of Exile is a small indie-game with a minimal budget released for free, made by a small development team. *Of course* Diablo 3 is better. That doesn't automatically make this game bad.
