Eh, could be useful if you want more than 1 channel. The old one just has a lobby and that's it... so the DND players and the WOW guilds would end up in conflict.So in other words, why did I pay for this one...?
My Duelist has an easier time of it, but I think that's from snagging the Evasion to Armor passive. Aiming for the No Evade/Can't be Stunned next.
Yeah, that might have helped. It was sad though, because it was the first time I'd even really been in danger of dying. I'd come close once before that, way early on in Act 1 before I was decked out completely in yellows/uniques. Also, the hit came from out of nowhere. Though, the most painful part about it is the fact that I've now lost two characters while each of them was wearing a "Fairgraves' Tricorne" unique hat.
Ouch.

Do you lose your uniques when you die or something?

I just assumed he was talking about hardcore characters, which get put back in the default league on death, at which point most hardcore players abandon/delete them.
That's my path as well. Though of course I will be disappointed if "can't evade" turns out to be "your evasion is permanently reduced to zero" which will just destroy my recently improved armor rating.

Exactly. I haven't deleted the two characters, but their uniques are no longer available to my HC characters, leaving me with a sole unique item in HC - that stupid Lapis Amulet.
I've had awful luck on uniques. I got that fairly terrible Coral Ring, and some low level ES gloves that're okay, but not great.
I've picked up 5 of them, so far. I got Limbsplit fairly early on in open beta, and then a Stone of Lazhwar (lapis amulet) in Default, followed by a Stone of Lazhwar in HC, and then on back to back characters I managed to get Fairgraves' Tricorne to drop in HC. And on back to back characters, they became default items, because the characters died.
Edit: Five, not six. I can math, I swear.

So the game is now live, they released it on Steam. They added a Scion class, the tree starts in the center. The tree itself has been tweaked quite a bit. They've also added 2 leagues, Domination (softcore) and Nemesis (hardcore). Game is as fun as I remember it. Anyone playing?
Nope. Only if you want to set yourself apart with cosmetic changes. They have stated they are very much against the pay-to-win model.
Still, I wish I'd paid closer attention and snagged one of the beta packs while they were still available so I could badge myself as a beta player. Ah well.

It's a free to play game.

I knew it was during beta but wondered if now that it's live it went to a paid game.
And I did a microtransaction when I got my profit sharing so I have essentially paid $50 for the game.

Next league is now up. The hardcore league in this (Invasion) is one of the most insane things I have ever played. Me and my buddies have all died at least once before level 6. 3 of the top 10 positions on the ladder died last night. People be dying like fruit flies in this one.
The softcore league seems pretty fun as well.
