Thank you for this post! I have a couple of questions that I hope you are able to answer :)

How does PvP feel? Does it feel like Diablo 2, does it feel like DotA, does it feel like WoW Arena?

As far as re-playability goes, do you still enjoy reruns after doing them so many times? Does farming the end boss for the best loot get annoying quickly? Do you think the different leagues will help re-playability?

Do you think GGG is on the right track concerning itemization, skill system, crafting system etc?

If you are taking the time to answer these questions: Very short answers will be enough for me, because I know you are still under some sort of nondisclosure (which is totally fine) :)


PVP - I'm not big on PVP, have done a little in Diablo2, haven't played the other two. I think PVP will be much more vicious in this with the cutthroat leagues where you're killing people for their gear.

replayability - I'm not under contract to test the game a minimum amount, so everything i've done has been by choice. But leagues are going to enhance the replayability certainly. Also my insistance on having top quality equipment. The loot system is definitely interesting when people are willing to trade a lot for a mundane item because they can make it better.

Items - I love that all rarities of item have a use, and that the gemslots can make an item more valuable.

Skills - I can't comment much on these because there's still so much more to come here that i haven't seen. The system is great though so far.

Crafting - I don't like the term crafting in this game, it sounds crude and like you're having to make items from scratch. But the system is very nice because there is no ability to guarantee a particular mod on an item, so there will be no items that everyone has because everyone can make the same way
You have good pc.I wonder about minimum requirements.But maybe i will lucky and I will be able to try on my old laptop in beta.

Great post, thanks for sharing your impressions of the game to date. How many others outside of the actual GGG staff would be carrying out similar testing, do you know?

Its worth noting that there will be a lot of optimization work put into the game before it ships. The speeds that our testers are currently getting is not really reflective of how the game will eventually perform.

Actually if you can play @ close to maximum settings with these specs, it only means system requirements are really low. 3-4GB ram is a must for any game in windows 7. But for XP 2GB ram would be more than enough for PoE.

Really if we compare these specs with the modern games which were released in the last few years, they're very low. I'm not even considering these specs are close to maximum settings specs.

Just check the system specs thread and you will see. Or you can look at Steam november stats (gathered from more than 25 million players).
