Yeah, I'm not impressed with that crazy skill tree. I would rather have it simplified and more cohesive. It's pretty fun as a caster so far, but not amazing. I think I will play it for free until I get frustrated if there are any issues. I was not happy at all today when I went to town to sell items and the instance reset, so I had to go all the way through it again, several times. And then it happened again later when I died (burst damage, yikes), the previous instance reset. Not good at all. Hopefully they will improve it, but you'd think they would've done it right in the first place.
PoE isn't as amazing as some have said. I won't be getting D3 regardless, so this will be fun. I'll spend the weekend on it and see what happens.
Let me also say that despite these flaws, I *really* enjoy the itemization in this game. Skill gems grant a lot of customization, and you can easily reforge items to suit your needs. In D2 I was so tired of the utterly useless drops almost all the time; in this game, every drop is useful in some way, and upgrades aren't hard to come by.
For reference, I just got into Act 2 at level 16 after a night of playing, so I don't know if this applies to later levels, though I'd hazard a guess it does.
