" hehe. That was a fairly conservative estimate. Some core changes to how the passive tree works in 0.9.3 also caused a big increase in the number of nodes. Forum Sheriff

My impression from the beta has been that the number of nodes and size of the skill system made it the feature that felt mostly unfishied, tightly followed by the lack of content, which isnt a problem, but a bad design direction is.
The problem, as I see it, is the lack of a good overview. Another problem is that small numbers doesnt have much affect on the game, so that choices each level aint rewarding. I like the D3 approach with very few and limited passive skills that allows for many many builds (nvm the free respecs in that case, its irrelevant for the comparision, kids). I havnt maxed a character, but it seems to me that forcing players to choose paths towards passives they want, is forcing passives on the way on players that they don't want. Leveling to 20, I felt that a lot. I feel nodes might work if every step in one path gave the same bonous (all 10 nodes in one line giving only +1% melee damage, for example), and if the "crossroads" of paths are few. Then the overview could be more zoomed out. However, theres no real reason I think, why those 10 nodes could not be one passive skill that gave you 10% melee damage instead ... imo. I hope you get the picture. Last edited by Meltage#0448 on Nov 1, 2011, 7:18:13 PM
