The game has possibly the worst netcode in the history of online gaming, most of the skills are terrible, and the content is far from balanced. They're releasing a new skill every week lately and so far the first two skills have both been ridiculously bad. The game is basically released - all the content is open, characters are permanent, they're charging for microtransaction services - but they're calling it open beta so they can use that as an excuse for every complaint. The game had already been in closed beta for like over a year, and some of the game's biggest issues have gone unfixed for that long.
I can see some of the issues you're describing - but I think it's a real stretch to call the devs incompetent. This game really is like an uber-graphics Diablo 2... which is amazing. I really like the potion set up / drops / socketing too. The skill tree is amazing (imo) and allows for deep customization. Not to dismiss your complaints... but they seem a bit frivolous [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
