I was happy and disappointed with PoE. I was happy that the mechanics of it was not just "bunker down and kill until no one is left", you had to keep moving or you were dead. Also, it actually required a lot of team communication. If your team mates died, you had to find a way to stall until you revived them or you where screwed.

The higher levels do seem to require a lot of coordination and strategies which is nice. The downside seems to be that you need to use this higher level gameplay not because of interesting game mechanics like VoG, but because the difficulty is very high. Honestly though, this isn't a Raid and it is unfair to expect it to play like one. I'm happy with it.

Update, just learned about the new mechanics in the level 35 PoE. Okay, they are actually pretty nice. It looks a lot like a Raid boss fight.
