Drama in the indy gaming biz ?
I don't know why but Im a little surprised that the gaming industry has casting couches. Who knew?

Drama in the indy gaming biz ?
1) Nudes online? I like where this is going. Brb, looking them up for "research". 2) Read the word "doxxed" and got confused. Stopped reading. Must do research on point 1.

Impact of attributes: Intellect restriction of spells
I haven't really been able to give AoE spells a good testing. With the nature of PoE combat being what it is, I can only fire one spell off at the beginning of the fight and then 3 seconds later everyone is in one giant pile so I cant use AoE anymore. So far, for me, there has been zero benefit to AoE size or duration being bigger/longer.

So games in development should list what's not in the game? Kooky.

First impressions thread!
I cant tell the difference between what's not working and what Im being a big dum dum over. For example: 1) I cant figure out how to pick locks. I have 4 (?) picks on my Thief and I select the NPC to pick a lock but the locks just open without using a lock pick. Then the locks that are too high for me (cultist dungeon) don't give the option to use a pick. 2) Same dungeon, couldn't figure out how to use the rope and grapple even though I had two in my inventory. 3) Stealth. How the hell do you stealth? Are you considered "stealthed" when you are "scouting"?

Experience point system in the beta and onwards
Thinking ahead, since we will have to return to the quest hub over and over to collect our quest XP, maybe they can add some kind of fast travel that automatically brings you back to the hub when it comes time to turn in. Another thing Im wondering, we know the game is balanced for the crit path, right? We also know we can only level up by turning in quests back at the quest hubs. So what happens if you've done the crit path stuff and now you head out into the wilderness? Since some non crit path encounters will be well over your current level, how do you ever level up enough to tackle the higher level non crit path quests? Furthermore, how do I level up to tackle the Endless Paths which are specifically designed to out level the party? Am I only going to be able to handle the 15th level at the end of the game when Ive finally turned in that last quest and leveled up?

Do Godlike special abilities scale?
Spells don't scale so I would be surprised if anything does. Maybe you get an improvement every few levels but they make up a new name for it? Like the three different versions of the Mirror Image mage spell?

"No Bad Builds" a failure in practice?
HOLY **** guys is it just me or is Josh Sawyer practically echoing me from when I tried explaining things to Helm? Be right back, my ego needs congratulating on leveling up. My analytical thinking skills = pro. Unfortunately, you wont receive any XP until you return to the farmer.

Does having more characters in your party reduce XP gained?
You cant really "grind" for money either as all merchants have a fixed amount of gold. After that is exhausted you will have to wait for them to replenish or find another merchant.

Grimoire - how to add spells?
As an additional question, what about grimoires you pick up from fallen mages? Can I copy those spells to my grimoire or Im expected to switch the entire grimoire just to use whatever spell it has that I want and then switch back to my "main" grimoire?

Experience point system in the beta and onwards
Since my beta is bugged to hell I cant even figure out what Im supposed to be seeing wrt XP rewards. I have yet to be able to turn in a single quests (even when Im staring at the Ogre Head and Ogre Blood in my inventory!) so how does it work for those of you that have seen it work? Is it a single XP dump only when you turn in the quest? For example, in the Ogre quest do you only receive XP when youre done and go back to see the farmer or do you get increments during the process of clearing the cave, killing the ogre, killing the spider queen, etc...?

An easy way to encourage people to try out more attribute builds in character creation
I don't feel that my non maxed Might characters are gimped at all. Sure, except for your Damage, Healing and Fortitude being lower.

An easy way to encourage people to try out more attribute builds in character creation
With my human Mage I started everything at 10 then maxed out Might (19), Intelligence (18) and dumped the last point into Con. I cant see any reason to not max out Might (unless you are doing that self gimp thing).

Change inventory system from "PoE stash" to "IE encumbrance"
Its interesting to me how vastly different people played the IE series. The thought of walking back and forth to carry every possible loot never entered my brain, when I got full I would just discard whatever was the lowest value item in my inventory for whatever better thing I just picked up. But I see several other posters say they DO go back and forth for everything. No way is better than the other but I feel if Im going to have unlimited inventory then I shouldn't be restricted from being able to offload it. Imo. I think I remember something about the stronghold being a pretty big gold sink. Hopefully there's enough merchants around to sell everything.

Individual stealth?
To be fair, you could also be a bush or barrel.
