Tell me that crashing at moments like this doesn't feel on purpose
Evidently my Arctic Armor ended up killing him because I could hear him die behind the frozen screen and I logged back in with just the adds. And my loot.

Went all damage / attack speed eith a 2handed mace and I think I'm at the end of Act 1. Most normal enemies havent been too bad but the boss fights are rough to find openings. Most attacks are well telegraphed either visibly or audio but its hard to find good openings to break their poise.
Melee combat does feel nice and weighty though, hoping they just remove some.of the extra long windups on some skills.
I am also a huge Souls fan so I don't mind the difficulty......bring on 300+ deaths by Act 3 no problem.

It may take some adjusting to the game, but I am not finding the low lvl content to be very fun at all.
So far on 2 classes..just to lvl 10.....it's just not engaging yet.
Witch does terrible dmg and the pets don't stay up long enough to even notice when they are down. The autosummon is very nice.
Merc so far has 1 shot that does damn near no dmg and single target, and then 2 cone based shotgun blasts that do minimal dmg, and reloads between every shot.
Avg pack of 4 mobs is shot, shot, roll, shot shot, roll, backpeddle shot shot shot mob dead....repeat x4
Boss is roll, roll, roll, roll, 2 secs to engage, roll, roll, roll,...roll again, 2 sec dps..repeat.
I'm sure it gets better and I'm sure it will get adjusted, or maybe it's just the player base that needs to adjust.
There is a ton to like here, I just don't find the gameplay very enjoyable at all yet.

Well dang, took a sorc through act 1, which is where my witch was last night. Absolutely insane how much better it feels. I was having trouble clearing the mobs to even get to the boss of act 1 just to try it solo (played duo last night). I couldn't do it.
Took sorc all the way to there in about 4 hours this morning. Shit on pretty much everything.
Witch felt pretty good for the first 8-10 levels. Then it started to feel like the pets weren't cutting it and I had no real damage ability. By 16, I just didn't do...anything.
Sorc felt good basically the entire time, but each new tier of abilities I just felt stronger. By the time I was at the count's manor, I was just rolling through shooting 5 different ice spells in various directions and exploding shit all around me.

Each time I get creep blocked, try and dodge roll through and it fails because it doesn't take you through units and I don't have a generic dash/blink/leap I remember that the dash they added to Ruthless also works in a similar fashion. Also I curse loudly. To make matters worse it feels like fucking everything sprints right for your meat. I was watching Mathil some last night before bed and even though his Monk looked solid he was still swinging like mad while kiting backwards each pack. This shit all just swarms.

I just tried out controller and it's WAY more natural after a quick adjustment period. Much easier to dip in and out of attack range for quick hits. I think this is the intended playstyle. I just wish you could use your mouse in inventory/menus.
Edit: Is it just me, or does this engine have an aliasing problem?

Definitely read your skills, the game is built around switching attacks and using combos for damage. I didn't start getting a grasp on what works together and how until about level 11.
We noticed if you get dc'd and come right back in it'll put you back exactly where you were with the game paused. Super nice QoL feature.
Mist king kicked my ass for about 2 hours last night. I kept having to go get more levels before I could proceed.
Monk apparently sucks until the teens, I tried it after merc and got my ass whipped.

Ice Nova gets me out of those spots if I dont spaz like a retard and hit the wrong hotkey. Earthquake is probably similar, I have to figure most classes have a self-AoE type ability to get out of that shit and any that dont are going to need it.

The ranger frosty jump in the air and move back skill is pretty good but it moves you away from the direction you shoot and can get interrupted. Shooting behind you to blink forward works but when a pile of things are all up in your grill there's a bunch to go wrong.

I like Merc so far.
I just play heavily off Permafrost shot and Fragmentation rounds. Permafrost into a group, get a freeze on one, and then swap to frags and shatter them. It insta kills the frozen and does AoE damage. I usually use basic bolt just to plink down from afar. Right now my Right Mouse is Permafrost Bolts and middle mouse is Frag. Run around with Permafrost on, do a shot or two, middle mouse to swap rounds, and shatter. Back to Permafrost.
Bosses I've just been strafing and plinking with Basic Bolt and Poison and haven't had an issue up through Bramble patch thing.
I kind of wish ammo swap was a toggle though or you could set it up that way. It is asking for a lot of hand holding but if Right Mouse just swapped between Frost / Frag it'd make ammo dancing much easier for now.

I just found it so awkward to reload and switch.
Tried Sorceress instead and was getting more freezes and more dps with less effort.

I played a Paladin in EQ for like 7 years, so I'm used to putting in a lot of effort with minimal results.

Currency, essence, gems, unique and delerium I think are the only ones that transferred over. If you get those and a quad stash tab or two?
Order I'd get them in would probably be currency, gems, 2x quad, essence, delerium and unique (that's mainly for "collecting")
