OK, so I bought the beta last night, played it a bit.
Things I'm seeing issues with:
Despite a lot of mentions of this on the boards, for me, the Alt key does not highlight anything.
The movement is really clunky; "run if you move your cursor far enough from your character" does not mesh well with how close the camera is to the characters. Frequently, getting the cursor far enough from the characters to trigger running triggers the edge scrolling. Ugh.
The loot is incredibly random. I screwed up during my first trip through the tutorial dungeon, and had to reload. First time through, there were "rain" scrolls in barrels or crates near the fire floor, there were a couple of crafting books, nearly 200 gold (a couple of piles of 90-some gold), a fireball scroll in a crate near the poison cloud, etc. Second time through, there was no fireball scroll in anything near the poison cloud, which led me to repeating the content a third time, whereupon I found no rain scrolls, no recipe books, around 50 gold total, and no equipment, unless you want to count a paper knife that had less than half the damage of my starting knife, which gave out from durability when opening the door the tutorial suggested bashing through.
I then got to the orc fight, and despite having the guards at my side, promptly got my butt handed to me. With my assassin doing ~5 dmg per hit and missing most of his attacks, and my magic user simply being unable to dish any reasonable damage compared to the orc hit points, or even having an effective means of disabling opponents, I got pasted thoroughly despite repeated attempts.
So, how are people getting into this game?
