re: Path of Exile

watch this trailer first! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFO4E5OKSE

Do you remember Diablo 2? This is a completely free to play offering from a small group of hardcore loving game makers from New Zealand. Except POE is in many ways better than Diablo 2 and for sure Diablo 3 in my opinion. Just released from beta a couple months ago and has a reported 4 million players already.

This game uses that skill tree I linked in Bristlehide. 1400 passive skills to chose from! 120 pointss total to spend. This game is not noob friendly, but if one takes a little time to learn it, I think its super fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWs7vAR-WzA quick overview.

No auction house, no gold, trade is barter for items that are used for crafting. Hardcore, domination, and nemesis settings to enter, with normal,cruel, and merciless settings once you get into play.

One server I understand, and this MMO is similar to Guild Wars one for entering the instances. Towns are active hubs. I love it as i used to love Diablo 2, but I think this game is better. Cookiesfearme is my maurader, Nockerz is my ranger. Someone took Tinki-Nibli-Dazzl!

Ziggy D has a complete set of guides for this game and your gonna need to watch a few cause this game is complicated!

re: Path of Exile

I heard from some serious gamers that this is an outstanding game.

See, that's what happens when you get famous. You have to protect your trademark name!

re: Path of Exile

It's great to see there are other people who enjoy this game and LOTRO! I've been playing Path of Exile since Open Beta and it's been interesting to see how it's changed. Granted, those who have been around since Closed Beta have seen a lot more.

I agree it's very similar to Diablo II in many regards, which was also a great game. I haven't really played Diablo III but it sounds like most people weren't too happy with it.

Anyway, the character I play most currently is my witch, Mierl although I have a few shadows I play frequently as well. ^^

And let's not forget that the optional cosmetics are a lot of fun too!

re: Path of Exile

Yep, cosmetics cost real money, but nothing is ptw. I opted for ivory glow on my bow and color change for portals. Next on list is more tabs for inv. You can buy pets, special skins for weapons, headgear, dance moves, footprints etc.

I just love how I can beat down 20-30 mobs at a time. I may not rock ingame as it gets harder, but the game itself sure rocks.
