It's not even the "beta" aspects of it that are letting me down, but I think it's just how lackluster dungeon crawlers seem to me. I never played Diablo II and everyone keeps commenting on how similar the two games feel. I despise how small of an inventory I have, especially when it's halfway full with different kinds of scrolls. I dislike the potion system that is devoted to me drinking potions every 5-10 seconds. The graphic style is abysmal to me, even on the highest graphics settings. The story isn't captivating enough for me wanting to know more about the characters and what is actually going on. The skill tree, while complex and full of tons of customization doesn't hold enough appeal for me to test out different combinations at maxed out levels due to how boring I find the gameplay. In terms of smaller quality of life improvements that I would like to see are: 1. Floating combat text. While I can see myself doing more and more damage, this is still a game of stats. The one with the higher stats should (in theory) in more damage and it's nice to compare damages with other people on a hit basis rather than an average. I'd like to be able to say "Wow, I crit for 10000000 on that skeleton" but since these numbers don't show anywhere, getting better gear doesn't feel the same. 2. Improve the minimap / tab map. It honestly looks horrible and reminds me of some archaic 8-bit game on the NES. 3. Helpful tips. When I started playing there was no real direction or anything to help guide me into the features of the game. I didn't know about skill points until level 8 because no one told me. I basically just had to open up the hotkeys menu and memorize exactly what everything did asking "oh I wonder what this is" which is usually followed up by "i have no idea but i assume it's important for something" All 3 of your points are already planned to be implemented. Heres the link: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/36080 It has a list of suggestions that have been made and their answers. As to your inventory problem I dont really understand.. you arent supposed to be carrying aroung 6+peices of gear+scrolls+gems+w/e else. You have a stash and can port to town to switch items if needed. That takes 1minute. The reason you are drinking flasks so often is because you are weak once you get stronger(better gear,skills,passives) you wont have to drink as often but the fact that you will frequently gives you the feeling you are fragile(not your cup of tea obv) buts its okay this game isnt meant to be easy. People forget to take into consideration that this is a small group of developers with a low budget(maybe now change with the new transactions). It might take them a while to start adding in the smaller details since they are focused on bigger projects like finishing the rest of the acts and balancing Also I don't know why people say they cant kite in this game, I do it with both my characters easily.. and yes even oak well I dont think you can kite oak easily but its possible. Just because theres no animation canceling doesnt mean you cant kite. It's not as fast/fluid as most would like but not possible. | ||

Also, apparently GGG are working on new/redone melee skills, especially for claws, so you may want to wait until they finish that before starting a build centred on claws. http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Claws I was looking at this table to plan my claw build, which says that higher ilvl claws have life leech and NOT life on hit, like what Scio said. I wouldn't be switching to CI until ~level 60 anyway, according to the build I was reading, so I was assuming I'd have claws with life leech at that point. Knowing this, could anyone comment on the viability of the Shadow CI/crit build with claws? I'm sure they'll be redoing a lot of skills, so I'm just going to jump in anyway with claws and see what happens. | ||

I need to learn the tips and tricks. ;E Frankly reaching level 30 before 3 hours was a pretty good race in the beta. They have done a lot to recalibrate the xp and pull-sizes. However, I believe it is possible still. The following are a few of the tricks used: - log out in the beginning instead of using a townportal if you have done a side-quest! If you are about to die, log out asap to survive and regroup in town. - In act 1 only flooded depths and maybe the ship graveyard cave are the only sideareas even remotely interesting to do in a leveling race. - In act 2 you need to enter the different areas at a specific order to get maximal opportunities. It is something like: Oldfields, Crossroads (waypoint), River Crossing, Dark Forest (waypoint), Chamber of Sins (waypoint to Crossroads and do the quest), The Weaver's Chamber (waypoint to Dark Forest and do the quest), Western Forest (for the skill-point and waypoint), Broken Bridge (Kill Kraitin), Western Forest (kill Alira). The rest is linear. - You need to reach certain levels at different areas (according to build and class). Never get more than 3 levels below monster level. - If you are unlucky with drops, you can buy items in town - Never pick anything up you do not have a use for. There are many many more tricks in the game, but most are specific to different builds. | ||

An example is the 3 hour race that happened january 12 2013: here 9 players reached level 30+ in that race. The winner got to level 32... The only change is that grinding the Ledge in Cruel is no longer possible, but if they can reach and farm battlefront I would expect it to be about the same. Btw. the templar build has been nerfed a lot so count him out. Duelist and shadow can still more or less do their things! | ||
