On top of the skill tree menu, the locked Paragon tab displays Level 60 as the new level requirement for unlocking the Paragon system. Currently, in-game characters must reach Level 50 to unlock it. This level requirement increase could be the first definitive hint at a level cap increase coming with the Vessel of Hatred expansion.

including more Available Skill Points to work with as well as what appears to be a redesigned Paragon experience bar on the player HUD.

The 60 (1) thing seems like they're trying to separate "levels" from paragon levels perhaps in an effort to make the game seem less daunting for casuals? Other games have a "max level" which is relatively low but they add hundreds of paragon/champion/mastery levels on top of that for player progression. If anything, D4 should reduce the paragon level grind because it's the most boring part of the game's progression. If they expand the skill trees with new skills and branches and options, that would be a good thing, I hope it's more than adding more available skill points.

i would love to see a paragon unlimited system as in D3. Hopefully this happen, so instead of 100 levels we will have 60(X) paragon levels as in D3

Wonder if we're gonna lose some paragon points because we are getting more skill points instead.....

Yep. Makes porgression kinda annoying. I dont like having no "levelcap". It would be better to do something else with the exp after 100.
Convert EXP to gold or some caches with greater affix guaranteed (like bonus level rewards).

AND for the love of god, change the tree of wispers, so it can "hold" at least 3 full bars and not 1.
