Went for a cup of tea in what I thought was a relatively safe zone, died. Lvl 25 for my first char.

I also agree that the loot system in groups is pretty terrible.
But not such a huge deal, there's still that small timer on loot. And I can understand why the devs. wanted it that way (to make looting in groups exhilarating/rage-inducing).

I was about to ask if something like this was happening to someone else, since I can't log in either. :/
I don't mind the system as it is, if you're playing alone or with an irl friend/someone you trust/etc, if not, then I agree that is somewhat bad because people can just ninja everything it drops lol.
The game is based off the atmosphere of previous ARPG games such as the Diablo franchise, where quick looting was practiced (if you were playing in a group, and wanted an item, you'd have to be fast to get it). PoE still has this kind of atmosphere, but allows players a chance to get to the randomized loot assigned to them in a timely manner.
Diablo III's worst feature, imo, is the loot system where there is loot assigned to every player from every mob.
I will never finish Act 2 this way. I've done the first sidequest about 6 times now. The first 4 times I got DC'd before finding the WP at the second level. Now I'm after the WP and every time I get close, the servers blow up :P
Rain of arrows and poision arrow I like them more not leveled up ... much more spammy that way, more spammy more fun.
It's probably just the server load that does this. Happens in the evening when more and more ppl join. On that accord it's good that after crash they roll back a bit ... deaths that occur because of the crash should be mitigated by it.
My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
Dunno what is effective ... 2h weapons seem to do a lot of damage, so something along those lines can be good. I started with this physical damage ranger and that's just too weak dps wise.

I'm guessing the argument for goes something like "It gives the option to play with randoms but promotes social connections with other players", something I'm not really opposed to, sure it can be a pain if you want to run pubbie groups over making in game friends but to be fair we have enough of that type of games already on the market.
Im a level 30 templar and those damn caster skeletons in waterfall cave / ancient pyramid still hit hard! Geez

Had to happen.. there game is going "viral" so to speak and a lot of people are downloading it to try it out. So the servers will be hammered for a while.
