State of the Beta

On another note, I'm not sure if it's in the budget, and I've never seen others asking for this, but some cinematics in PoE would be really cool. I feel like there's a decent story in the game somewhere, it just doesn't tell itself very well. I've played steadily since open beta and I still have very little idea what the story's actually all about. A storyline which draws you in is an important aspect of the ARPG greats like Diablo II; PoE is already a masterpiece with respect to the game mechanics. I think a self-evident story will help to draw new players to the game; PoE has a very steep learning curve and many gamers who aren't hardcore ARPG players are dissuaded by the overwhelming information combined with the lack of a story to get you to the point where you're willing to properly learn the game. I think this would be great for the sustainability of the PoE player base and will be nice for vets and noobs alike.

Big love. Keep it up.

ya, I agree man, theres places where new top tier mods could be cool but Qarl please dont invalidate everyones gear by adding new top tier mods for key stats like ipd, flat damage (flaring etc) life, % defense, flat defense (es, ar, ev), attack speed, local crit chance and multi, resist, movespeed, spell damage, cast speed. I feel like the game doesnt need them, at all, so if it doesnt need them and if you invalidate perm league high end gears for the sake of it, thats going to be so horrible, thats exactly the diablo model style thing you guys have always said you didnt want to do and if you do it I think a lot of us perm league players are going to take very, very badly to it. If you invalidate 2 years of what weve worked for, a lot of us arnt going to stick around for another 2 years because while you left it open without guarantees you stated you didnt want to do this and theres no need for it. Im not playing a game where higher mods are added for the sake of it making what Ive worked for second class. People who play ladders wont be effected either way, it literally doesnt matter for them if you add new top tiers or dont, it only effects perm players and only effects us badly imo. I play ladders too of course, but if you mess with my perm gears then I wont be playing anything tbh, it just sends a clear message that nothing I work for is worth working for. I dont want to sound QQ and doom n gloom but thats honest feedback, so it is what it is.

If youre talking about stats like life regen, life on hit, life/mana on kill etc that currently dont scale to a point where even the top rolls are significantly useful in endgame, thats awesome. Thats a change Id really love to see in the game.
