It's definitely a problem with your xbox. Game runs perfectly fine. If you're doubting it just check any streams as well
How long is the beta?, got my code this morning, but am not going to be able to play for a few days.
Xbox runs games fine. It could be a Latency problem I'm in Aus.
Its like a slight pause every 5 seconds.
three weeks iirc

most likely it is. it's an online game after all. maybe you had something downloading in the background as well? that sucks though, hope it gets better. is there an australian server for it (it says in the upper right corner)? i know i'm playing on a São Paulo one which is kinda near so i'm not having issues
Try now
Is it me or do melee characters just feel weird? I feel like I'll walk up to an enemy and just keep on swinging and miss occasionally. On the other hand, the Archer and Witch feels great.
Early on accuracy is an issue. Some later abilities you pick from the tree basically make everything hit every time.Is it me or do melee characters just feel weird?

For me, it's not. Diablo 3 with a controller worked perfectly and the way they redesigned the UI to work with a controller is still the best implementation of an ARPG on a console imo. PoE plays fine with the combat but using the UI is way too clunky for me. I played the console version of D3 for a long time and stopped on PC. I've come to the realization that playing PoE on PC though is the far better option... for me.So how does this game feel with a controller? Better than Diablo 3?
Could be accuracy stat on the character

As others have said it's accuracy. Get a jade amulet or the dex nodes near your start or resolute technique.
You're a braver man than I.I'm not following a build. I know I'm a horrible person! I just wanted to relive D2 Necromancer lol.

Yeah, brown is pretty apt because most of them are shit.Unique items are brown? Found two of them on my third character, playing in a party with someone.
I'm confused. Are you talking about Act8? You should be a lot higher. Act 9 and 10 will follow that but won't be in the beta and everything will get wiped before official release.So I just finished the SP campaign (lvl 40 something). Will the new content be accessible from the lvl I'm at or do you have to be a certain level?

That's the old game. You used to do 4 acts in 3 difficulties.Sorry wasn't talking about the beta. How many acts are in the current game that is available on steam right now? I think I got to act 3 and after beating the boss a portal opened at highgate that started the game over again on cruel difficulty and I had no more quests to speak of in that area unless I missed something. I'm reinstalling windows on a new pc so can't even re check to verify atm but i asked in the PoE chat and they told me that was all the content.
Which character is the best to start? I know character creation is designed that anyone may be anything but well, to start off I guess there is an appropriate choice for beginners.

Agree. Combat feels fine except for target based skills like totems imo, the smart placement sometimes is...not so smart and places the totems in awkward places. In situations where it gets crucial and exact placement is needed it may get difficult.
Looting needs improvement. Its very hard too loot specific items if you have multiple items on the ground. I can only imagine its quite a mess if you have 10+ drops on higher levels. People will rage hard if loot allocation is set to FFA and an exalted drops haha...
Could imagine something like you can switch to a special loot mode where you can cycle through the items laying on the ground.
But its only beta, if theres one developer I trust to improve on these aspects its GGG....
They added loot filters in the PC version which made it way easier to filer out crap loot and focus around what you want. Not had chance to jump into Xbox beta yet, so I am not sure if they also have it.
You can move the right stick up or down to cycle through the loot on the ground. It could be better, but it works for me.Looting needs improvement.

There seems to be some kind of loot filter with highlights etc but it needs something done.I know and theres nothing like that so far.

Just hit lvl 9. Feels OK so far. Some control tweaks etc would be great. Messing around with items on the floor is crazy when you have to right stick around what you want.
That is kinda important. The endgame (speed meta in maps) is pretty much unplayable without a good loot filter.

When does the game get harder? I'm in Act 2 now and the enemies don't do any real damage.
Why is the game pausing every other second? Just started and it just kind of hitches constantly
Tried a restart and seems to be fixed. So far it's pretty fun. The only things I don't really like are that the interface is terrible for a controller. Picking up items is really frustrating
PoE is a mouse/KB game on PC. It underwent balance changes to work on controller for console.
Just started and had the same hitching, guess I'll restart..
The PC version is free to play right, so...the Xbox version will be free to play as well...? Right?
Wondering if it's lag related. It comes and goes, which makes it pretty annoying
