If you count few months as close then yes :D Also they been saying Open beta is close back in June :D
Also desync is so bad for so many people currently that I don't see much future for this game if they don't really start fighting that.

People play crappy free games that are worse than old 10$ games, i dont see how people would stop playing a free game that beats 60$ Diablo 3 in many aspects.

FFA prevents you from going into parties.
Desync prevents you from playing at all, alone or in party. If that is not a game killed I don't know what is.

People cry away too much about FFA loot, at the end game it's all about groups of 5-6 pooling maps together to run all day to get the best loot in the game, and no one says shit, but losing some unid yellow at level 20 and everyone rage quits the game even tho you'll out level the item in a matter of an hour or less.
Haven't had a desync or lag relative death since 0.9.4 nearly half a year or so ago, maybe my net is just baller or people are way exaggerating the effects of it. Aside from insane speed flicker strike spam that is, which is broken.

Aside from insane speed flicker strike spam that is, which is broken. If I remember correctly you use ranged characters a lot. It is not as bad for them.
Desync has been getting worse for me with each patch. My last melee character was a claw+shield acrobatics shadow that used viper strike and lightning strike. I either had desync (mostly as missing enemies when I should not), or bad lag although F1 display always showed ping at 50 (that would show as my character doing an attack animation and enemy getting damaged 1 second later). Normal play with viper strike character is to hit each enemy once or twice and move on. But since I didn't know if I hit him or not until 1 s later when I was hitting my 2nd or 3rd target I would often need to go back to hit the previous targets again. It is hard to describe how irritating and unfun this becomes after hours of playing.
In the end the character that was almost never in danger (in HC) got killed by desyncing while fighting ruthless ledge boss. One moment I was full health, next less then 33% (low life), I clicked to use my instant recovery at low life flask but next moment I died.
So no, desync is killing the game for me. I won't even go into what was happening anytime I used Whirling Blades or Flicker.
And you can read similar stories on forum almost each day while ingame chat is always talking about desync.

Is it possible/legal to give away beta keys.accounts? I tried an open beta weekend a while ago and was given access to the closed beta a few weeks ago, but I don't really care to play.

Yeah desync is quite a big problem, I don't die to it. But it's really bad that I have to hit some mobs 10-15 times before they die, and without desync they die in 2 hits.
EDIT:
@Myles I guess so, if you don't sell it no problem.

Wait, this game is going to have FFA loot? Seriously? That's like 10 years ago.

It is supposed to be there because it gives the game the feel of actually teaming with other exiles of dubious character. I personally like it but I am all for giving people options to decide for themselves.
Also I haven't played in a while and the combat feels much smoother than before. The feel is the most important aspect in a game like this and I am enjoying playing it now.

Just hope they end up making it like D2 where I can kill other players for touching my loot ^ ^ Was so much fun watching 7 people rushing towards a dropped shako or something just to see a second later

I'm curious if anyone is having worse luck than I am with this game. I saw trailers for this game last year and decided to sign up for a beta key when it started and I've never gotten one. My account on the site was registered March 11th of last year and I've seen a few comments of "they give away so many keys, it only takes a couple days" to get one. I know I could pay $10 but my last few ARPG games haven't had the lasting appeal I'd like so I want to try PoE before I put money in to it.

They give away keys every five minutes. A year and a half and still not having one is confirmation that it isn't a good method unless you consider yourself horribly unlucky. I'm not sure who told you signing up would be a good way to get a key either because I've never seen such a statement, although I also wasn't paying attention to PoE a year+ ago.
There have been quite a few open weekends now though. Best time to try it out is during these times. You're probably better off just waiting around another month or two (hopefully) for open beta at this point though.

I tried to run the game today again. This time I turned off my Antivirus program and run it in fullscreen instead of windowed fullscreen like before. But still desyncs are happening often enough to make the game not fun to play.
I need to find something to play until 9.10. and X-com

TPPK'd after a Shako dropped that they all went back to town and TP'd back before they ran for it, after he hostiled. Also known as a fake story. Nobody did runs with everyone already hostiled. So I'm not quite sure how he kills everyone (in hardcore mind you) as a high level item drops while they're all hostiled.

The sound track if you're a supporter got released as a digital download today :D
|
A 7 kill off a TPPK is a bit of an exaggeration but a 2-3kill in 1 shot was pretty common
|
Just shelled out 10 for this, and I will admit that it was worth it!!! The Pvp is very unpolished but I enjoy "raw" pvp like in D2.
