I feel like this is going to inflame some people that are sensitive towards PoE criticism, but I love the game so far and only want it to get better. I'm also not blindly devoted to any one game so I can objectively say what is good and what is bad about PoE and other similar game.

So Kripp simply thinks the fluidity of the combat in PoE should play more like Diablo 3. There's nothing wrong with that and Chris has actually expressed interest in working on adding that fluid feeling to PoE combat (unless I SEVERELY misunderstood him). If there's 1 thing Blizzard has over every other company making online games it is that their games are ridiculously silky smooth. They have absolutely nailed that.

Besides the actual smoothness of the gameplay, there's depth to the combat mechanics between you and monsters in D3, something else that PoE is missing. You can argue about how much or how little skill is involved with something like Arcane Beams in D3, but it's a great example of adding another layer of depth to combat.

PoE is very simple when it comes to the actual combat. There isn't much going on and there isn't much skill. It's almost all "toe to toe" type fights with no need for much movement. This is compounded by the slow nature of the gameplay.

But hey, if that's the designers prerogative, more power to them. If they want almost all of the depth and challenge to be with the theorycrafting, gearing, and building of a character then that's their right. Doesn't mean me or Kripp can't have an opinion about it and it DOESN'T mean we don't love the game still and it DOESN'T mean that Kripp wants to turn the game into D3. There's nothing wrong with looking at what one game has done right to form your opinion of another game.

So that's his opinion on the combat and it's what he means when he says "clunky". It's one opinion I and many people actually share, and like I said, we brought it up to Chris when he was in Mumble chat on Kripp's stream and he acknowledged it to a degree. So Kripp is not trying to turn PoE into D3, he has actually praised many things PoE has done as forward thinking and extremely fresh and new.

Ehh, you're right, it isn't always subscriber only chat, I was just surprised that someone would want people to pay them five dollars for that kind of quality game stream. I've heard better commentary from my grandmother, and she reads comments rather than ignoring the chat completely.
