one thing im disappointed with is the animations they half assed that shit soooo hard from the guy jumping on his horse and this stupid dog in kyovashad
have it walk and make it longer or something so its somewhat realistic why would ever do this animation lmao it does like a running jump step then 180s running jupm step 180 like its dumb as fuck
the character animations don't seem that bad but the world animations look like something you would find on a mobile game they suck its not game breaking but like... really?

The game is good. Can confirm

I seem to get hung up on around corners allot. Was gonna report it but figure someone else will lol

nope.

Did a global event earlier. Was cool

So the pros so far are as expected: it "looks" nice and it looks like it feels nice to play.

I think that's where it pretty much ends.

One of the worst things about D3 was the lame storytelling, cutscenes, pausing for dialogue, etc. and they've completely doubled down on that.

UI makes it look like a F2P mobile game. Items in your inventory carry no weight, item cards are about as bland as can be, the default Windows 98 Arial font, character screen in general is lame. Whoever is in charge of these graphics needs to be fired.

Hard to comment on two of the most important aspects - skill system and itemization - because the beta obviously doesn't allow for end-game play.

Dungeons are way too repetitive and linear but again that may change later in the game.

All that said I will try the beta for myself when it opens up

i agree with most content feeling like a copy pasta reskin
you can tell they skimped out on a lot of animations too makes the game just have that rushed feeling once again
itemization seems decent but im not a fan of the attack power and armor system
skills seem decent not the best set up but it could be worse i guess? idk the UI definitely seems like its made for console/mobile

game looks nice the gameplay is pretty fun but the content is what makes or breaks the game and with how they are holding out so much from us in the beta i feel like its going to be lacking tbh
the 1 slot for every item is weird too pick up a gem thats the same size in my inventory as a big ass staff taller then my character when equipped

it doesnt seem like its going to be the best game but i expected that but it has some potential to be a game in the rotation i dont really see it becoming a main game from what ive seen so far but who knows maybe the end games legit
games not perfect but overall seems fairly fun

also id recommend using the flasks you create at alchemist for the 5% xp boost since its just a beta and your not really using your gold on anything else it will save you time in the long run if you plan to get to 25

Assumed they were going towards d2 gameplay. Shit looks like d3

Gotta stop assuming they're going to remake a game from 20 years ago.
