This thread is 90% people begging others for keys.

I've played the beta and I gave the key to a friend after playing it for a day because of how 'rigid' it is. Game is trying to hard to be diablo 2, when what they should be doing is taking risks into new areas to define themselves with their own game.

Love the potion chugging of D2? You'll love PoE

Enjoy the 1 dimensional 'skill' usage of D2? You'll enjoy PoE

Simple minded enough to enjoy a game based on its looks and not fluidity? You'll like PoE.

The game just does not flow, it needs a lot of polishing and work before I would consider it a product worth playing. With that said I hope the developers really come into their own with this one. People love these types of games and when they are done well they can be a lot of fun. As for myself, it takes more than a little d2 nostalgia to get me invested enough to play a game like this for hours. I've already played the shit out of diablo 2 for a long time, I don't really want to play diablo 2 again, sorry.

By what time after release do you think they will break their word and make stuff like this buyable? I wanna bet against it.


The devs do not want easy, full respecs in the game. The currency item (note: ingame currency) that resets one skill point will be rather rare. Here's what they wrote on this:



There won't be respecs as microtransactions because it is considered buying a more versatile character, which is buying power.
