Open Beta - design changes

copy&pasted from Patch notes:

Passive Skill Balance:

Chaos Inoculation now grants no additional energy shield bonus. Its complete immunity to chaos damage, synergy with Blood Rage and other skill combos are deemed sufficient upside to counteract the life penalty.

Interesting..

At first, I'd like to see the skill tree and try new builds.

Enjoy !

I'm surprised, confused, and disappointed. Not much else I can say really.

GGG im rly disappointed i cant support you at current financial state of my life (free student practice), but i believe this will be game for many years and i will have many occasions to do so:) so excited to build my witch from the start, i wont play now, will spare energy for tonight, cu later guys^^

P.S. hopefully 2nd shift at thursday, can play whole night long:D

New player here, so the only thing I can comment on about CI is that, OP or not, it seemed to be a must-have in many builds. In my moderate understanding, a lot of profiles were straight unplayable without it. Now, I hope it won't become useless and still be a valid option. That's what the game needs, IMHO, different valid options for each character/gameplay style. Time will tell.

I appreciate the tranparency and explanation of design choices, anyway. So everyone, play the game, good luck and have fun.

I don't like the Quicksilver flask idea. Losing an hp/mp regen flask for movement speed is unacceptable and that's why I believe phaserun was used instead.

Stop using dumb terms like "unacceptable" like that, it makes you sound like an entitled child.

A good read. I love the vision you guys have for your game and how you chose to apply it, makes me glad I spent the money supporting you.

*raises coffee mug* Here's to open beta and beyond! I hope I manage to log in tonight, lol.

Awesome!

That is probably the only concern making so many people get quite some new grey hairs; if not losing them completely. It would be kind of nice to see some tables/graphs of their expectations.
