Dialogue mechanics
Just want to bring this to attention just so it doesn't get lost in the sea of backer beta threads. It was mentioned by Josh earlier and I fully endorse the no auto win button in dialogue. Context matters.

First impressions thread!
Grom, Just because their writing is up to their usual standards doesn't mean that they don't need such positive reinforcement or praise for what they do well. I'm about halfway through the the beta and I haven't had a party wipe yet. But the combat still needs significant tune up. Yes, it's a crutch that we are not familiar with the ruleset/skills/spell mechanics etc but the primary problem is lack of useful visual and tactile feedback in terms of what's going on. Otherwise, I agree with your assessments. Quest bug is annoying. Overall, I'm pleased with what I'm playing and they are well on their way -pending significant major tune up.

They need to adjust the pace of combat. Movement is too fast and it's difficult to keep up with who is doing what as the status effects and feedback is not very informative. There is essentially more tactile feedback in the IE games. Think of this analogy: Drive by Wire system as opposed to direct steering.

What are you playing now?
Quick summary for PoE: +writing is top notch +music is impressive +art is excellent +scripted interactions. Major points! -Combat is too frenetic. -monk and ciphers classes = Micromanagement.

Beta Release Time
You'll find a key in your Products tab on your account page on the PoE site when they release it (2:00 PST). Insert key into Steam, download beta, enjoy. 2:00 AM or PM? 10:00 PM GMT+0 right? It's been delayed by an hour, so now it's 11pm in Britain, and 12pm in the Netherlands/Belgium/France/Germany. Any source on that?Cause if that's actually the case, I'll stop waiting around and just leave it be until tomorrow. Brandon Adler announced it in the Beta Announcements subforum.

Backer Beta: Coming August 18th
I don't think that word means what you think it means.You are ranting about perceived offenses that go against your set of expectations regarding an update announcement for an announcement that was scheduled to go out today. Anyways, let's not get into a tiff on semantics. I guess I can understand why you wouldn't want to get into semantics, because you continue to misapply the meaning of words. I have neither ranted nor have I thrown a tantrum. Expressing an opinion, even one that some may not like, in a respectful and composed manner, as I have, is not ranting or throwing a tantrum. I know that I'm not alone in wishing for a little communication. Why does this offend you so? In hindsight, your postings came across to me as as more aggressive than what it actually was. Though my original entitlement statement wasn't specifically directed at you. Maybe it was the EA reference... My bad.
