But the character building and double classing was the best (and the only good) thing about TQ:(
Pretty much. It's also what makes PoE enjoyable in the first place. Strip that away and you're left with a test of will of how long you can hold down LMB before you fall asleep. Essentially D3.

Get about 45-75 FPS, not much more than before but it's mostly staying around 60 though ... pretty much less than half the FPS I got in TQ :(

Wish they had a playable demo of this... even if it were just fifteen minutes. I need to FEELZ the combat.

It's a lot more 'punchy' than TQ, and there's a lot more reaction to your hits, i.e. it's actually possible to interrupt enemy attacks I think, and the animation is quite a bit better. It's still the same engine though, so ymmv.

It's good. After a few missteps between build 12 and this one, they've managed to fix a lot of stuff they broke and added new things that have made shit better.

Having way more fun with this than i had with all the other current ARPG's. I cant comment on whether the skill system is great, but (most) everything up until now seems fun

Just got two-shotted in depraved sanctuary on hardcore
Def rolling another character. I really don't see why people seem to not be to enthused about this. Maybe it becomes clear later

I like game so far but lack of content can be very off-putting. I am trying to do some quest and bam! There is npc telling me that is end of content so far. Pretty anticlimactic.

This looks mightely fine, but performance is a bit jerky. I got tired after 50+ hours of PoE. It nailed the mood and skill tree well, but being designed as a F2P online game put a damper on it rather fast.

Yeah I get half the performance I get in Path of Exile and about 1/3 of Titan Quest in Grim Dawn. 50 FPS compared to 125~ solid in PoE and 180+ in Titan Quest. Sucks donkey balls.

Performance is ass. Gameplay is great. I'm not exaggerating when i say I haven't had this much fun with an ARPG since D2, and that despite the genre boring me more in general now

There seems to be a pretty damn large amount of content as well. I had to stop because this final area in act1 was just so god damn huge. Having said that it wouldnt hurt if it was more varied

Not sure if it did anything.
Im getting to the point of saying that this is almost everything i want an arpg to be. Itemization is amazing

Also streaming again

What's more amazing is that the dev-team is only 6-7 + some contractors large and they lived from a rye bread and spread diet for years to fund half the game.

Such dedication and heart-blood.
