From Chris Wilson himself. I mean, I still want to believe they're rubbing it in more than the coincidence.

"melee" ... chances are the actual melee part is shit and just a trigger for the real damage, which comes from a secondary projectile, aoe or whatever.
I'd guess for someone in the industry it should be possible to snatch up the name of an upcoming title, especially one not made in-house by Blizzard. Going with "he knew".
Oh man they pretty much fixed every gripe that I have ever had in one patch.

Too funny.
Just started playing this again (yeah the Diablo fiasco brought me there). Hadn't played in a couple years. Game is definitely better than I remembered. And this expansion title, etc is fukn hilarious. Great time to find PoE again.

So I'm brand new to this shit, should I be bothering with this Niko guy and the minecart stuff, or just grind the main story until max level or whatever?
Do these 2 skill point respects refund my entire skill tree, or just single nodes?
Is there a way to tell if support skill gems are working if they don't have some kind of obvious particle effect etc? Like can I throw x2 minion damage support gems in to my summon zombies skill? I can't find a way to tell if the +minion damage is stacking or not.

Do the delves, they're fun, good xp. You might overlevel the main story, but for your first time through, that's probably a good thing.
One respec point: one passive node.
In the hotskill bar, you'll notice skill's icon gains small colored letters as you socket supports. Another way is to read the skill tooltip before and after, most support will change the mechanical text but not description text.

More random stuff I can't quite suss out:
Is there any reason not to level my skill gems? Just seems like straight upgrades?
Is this corrupted vaal skill stuff just as awesome as it looks, or is there some drawback I'm missing?
Is there a full respect available, or is my first character just gonna basically be crap as I flail around the skill tree while I level?
Are there full elemental immunities later on for monsters like D2 had, or can I just slam all my points in to fire etc?

Cast When Damage Taken support is the main reason to stop leveling a skill gem. The damage and skill gem requirements go up as you level CWDT, so it's a balance between how powerful you want the triggered spells to be vs how often/easily.
They reworked most of the vaal skill gems in 3.3, most of them are indeed awesome. Only drawback is getting souls to sustain usage on boss fights.
No full respecs. Your first character will be crap, not being able to fully respec will only be part of that
No immunities. End game bosses are 40% resistant to elemental damage and there are many sources of elemental damage penetration available(somewhat of a balance issues).

I never played bestiary league.... I heard the mechanics were a painful grind.
Edit: Also fuck yes Delve core, but if we cannot access it whenever we want I am going to be super pissed.

The only thing about Bestiary that sucked massive cock were throwing/timing the traps. In a game all about WTFpwning entire screens, it didn't make sense to have to "slow-down" at specific points. It sounds like they are fixing that by having an NPC trap for you? I hope so, because Bestiary had some really cool crafting/item targeting aspects, but the trap system was awful.
