Every character from closed beta got set to level 1 then they went to open, to allow people to keep their names from there, and since you have 20+ character slots by default there's a truckload of names used already.

Hit M, there's a button to remove an effect from an item so you can put it on something else.

Focus on survivability more than DPS early on otherwise you will regret it later. Glass cannon builds in this game don't work well in my experience.

Not on hardcore. You'll run into a wall on default eventually -- there's a lot of variables involved in what works / doesn't.
Hrm. I know for my first char I'm just doing what seems like it'd be good... I'm 100% certain I'll have to make a new character anyways once I know more about the game and esp end game. :/
I'm going to have to buy something for the game. They deserve so much for what they've done with this game.

Just did my first real group-play, my performance was pretty terrible, no idea what's going on there. And i absolutely despise this loot-system, everyone's trying to steal each others rares, it's awful and completely goes against what a group is supposed to be/do.
I'm not too pumped about my spec either i think. I went with the EK/beartrap build posted earlier and it felt kinda cool, but it seems to be really weak against strong single mobs. And the shadow in my group with his lightning strike just shredded through rooms while i was constantly dry on mana.
And about the rare items, is anyone actually trying to trade them up for the alch orbs? It seems completely unreasonable, do you really need two items with the exact same name? Even the chaos orbs are crazy, getting sets of 1 rare from each slot is pretty rough.
Not the best start, game's still miles ahead of D3 though.

The only thing I dislike so far honestly after a few hours, is loot in party. The timer should be a hair bit higher.

I haven't bothered to group yet because I prefer methodically slaughtering an area and going AFK at my own pace... if my friends were my level range then I'd love to group with them because we'd just coordinate our breaks. The loot timer is a HUGE complaint on their forums but the devs are very stubbornly resisting any change to it. I understand their adherence to their vision and commend them for it, but I think someone could eloquently describe how the current mechanics do not reward ranged characters for playing well. For a ranged to be competitive with loot drops it means they have to frequently stop DPSing to move into range before it can be ninja'ed.

Loving the game so far, but I have to agree with the loot system concerns. I've only grouped with a very good friend at all, no pugs. When loot drops in combat, the 3? second timer expires while we're busy fighting. Afterwards there's the awkward period of us both ignoring loot at first not wanting to be grabby, or we both go for it at the same time, etc. We of course discuss and distribute good drops, but still, theres often stuff we both may want and it would just be simpler if the game had a random roll system, or instanced loot, or any of the superior loot systems that these game types have used recently.
That really is my only complaint so far though.
