As I expected, the patch is underwhelming to me. I readily grant that everything in it is for the better, but in the overall scheme of things relative to the very long list of problems in the game that have been very exhaustively discussed in this forum, this patch only moves the game in a positive direction a tiny little bit. Sure, every little bit helps, but we're still a VERY LONG WAY from this game being good.
I'll let anyone decide for themselves if they think the game is already "good enough" or not, but on a personal note one thing I can tell is that with such a small amount of novelties introduced I'm not confident at all I will find the drive to do another playthrough.
I will at very least make an attempt to toy around a bit with it, but I can easily see myself dropping the alpha entirely until something more substantial (a class or a level cap rise) will come into play.
