instead you could just upload a vid so everyone can judge
Dont you think i have done better thing with let ppl know that they can try that game on their own instead of reading others opinions? Open Public Stress Weekend was best moment for ppl who havent closed beta access to try it.

I think ill try to get a computer for the weekend. I have played quite few hours of it at mates place twice. Today played about 6 hours
and bit less the other time. Been playing an archer and i really like it, not too easy and definitely will benefit from d2 bowa skills. I think my bowa there is 25 or 26 lvl, currently using this normal attack which gives attack and run speed charges(3stack and lasts 10sec) with multi arrow(40% pierce), burning arrow(something like fb at d2), got this open wound normal arrow skill which is nice vs elites and bosses and switch multi shot to light arrow at times(pierce moves to this skill) which gives light dmg besides physical arrow and the light dmg hits few monsters nearby. Also got this frost nova(same as in d2) from skill gem and can use it to slow enemies a bit, can summon two zombie tanks(that also do some dmg but attack slow) and can cast this 7sec long shit loads of frw buff which disappears if i shoot, which can be used oävs fast elites and bosses and is good for running inside mobs gathering them around or just travelling.
I kinda like the pot system more in it than d2, pots are more like canisters and can have magic mods like faster run while regening from it, extra evasion, more room on the pot, knockback with melee while gaining life/mana from the pot, slower/faster regen from this particular pot. They come in different sizes and refill by themseoves slowly when killing enemies and really slow over time.
Not really sure about the gem skill system with skill point per lvl to superfuckinghuge passive skill tree that you can never skill even 1/10th and need to select the right paths. Really need to see how it all works on d3, so hard to compare the two systems..
Whether it will be a good game for me really depends on what the pvp will be like, now it seems that d3 might be more fun for pvp, but not sure. Pvm in it is quite fun tho(at least with the archer), which is weird for a video game..
Im happy that you have tried it so you know for real what pros and cons are like. New patch gave few things and balance changes with mechanics, mods, new gems etc. and ofc bug fixes.

And to correct few things that burize cried about:
Id scrolls are only one trade item, there are quite alot of stuff you use to trade some craft items(craft orbs and pasrtial craft scrolls)/tp and id scrolls and that sort of stuff basically, but you dont really find anything interesting from npcs, except on the beginning stages of act1.
Map is good, but you need to adjust transparency depending on area to get the most of it.
You arent supposed to collect all crap items and now at about 25lvl i have most items rare and quite alot of skill/support gems in my eq. Rares are about half found half crafted with some adds from using those craft extra mods/enchance item orbs.
Yea the separate shop and sell screens are bit stupid, but the npcs offer in scrolls of possibly craft/tp/whatever orbs if you give him enough items on trade, so separate screens kinda make sense. Also holding shift lets you click on items and move to sell screen to see what the npc offers for the items.
In short, he only cries cuz crappeur.
They are not focusing for now on trade system, i mean player-to-player. Currency seems for now balanced. They work on page and ingame player-to-player trade system, so in future you nn to be loged ingame to trade from work or any other situation when you cant use any soft there. I forgot to mention about NPC sells that you can use NPC sell recipes: 6sox items will give you jewelers orbs (you can use it for randomly sox items or buy from npcs a fusing orbs to make randomly links between sox), you can sell 2 or 3 items with same rare names to get alchemy or chaos orbs etc.
I can compare Diablo 3 and Path of Exile only on one ground... dreams. Path of Exile is closer to my pre-beta-d3 dreams about what diablo series continuation should looks like. So only ~17 devs made a game free to play more diabloness than d3 blizzard army work.

It looks very cool.
It looks better than d3 imo
Another galaxy graphic isnt the only thing can make ppl happy. Thats why great PoE ideas can beat your thoughts from meetings with d3 graphics.
