[Game] Path of Exile (Diablo 2 style, f2p)

[Snuffeldjuret]

Has anyone played it?

I find myself enjoying it a lot! I can't wait to get to play it with friends instead of alone, will make it even more fun =). Really good stuff here imho, I just hope they will have massive amounts of content in the end.

I was following it for the longest time but could never get into the closed beta. Is it out of beta now and free for anyone to play?

On the beta list, this looks like what Diablo 3 should have been.

@ ERK if you had applied for beta in 2010 you should have automatically received your beta key (Same will happen soon for 2011 AFAIK).

If you mean discussed at this forum I found nothing when I did a search.

It's still in "closed public beta", but probably not too many months away from open beta as I understand it.

I finally got into the beta, it's not bad. I like the passive skill tree, it's pretty crazy and the skill gems mixed with some support gems makes for some cool effects.

I have an extra key if anyone wants to trade for a Diablo 3 beta key...

I wish I had any of those

Been in the beta for a while now, but for some reason the game didn't really catch my interest as much as I thought it would.

I don't even know why. I liked D2 and played a lot of it and this game seemed like a better successor to D2 than what D3 was becoming. I really expected to enjoy this game a lot.

But don't get me wrong, it's a solid game with quite a few interesting and innovative ideas (how the skill gems for example).

Check your PM Moyako, I sent you my extra Path of Exile key.

Just do me a favor and if/when you get a second key, you'll pass it along to someone on here too.

Thank you again, Erk. Sure, no problem with that

I feel there is a lack of "greater purpose", like in Diablo you save the world . Path of Exile need more content too. Other than that, it is rather damn good. Imho.

 

[Yoshiro]

Yea, hope to be able to check this one out soon.

Yea, hope to be able to check this one out soon.

Me too.

I'm in beta for a week or two. Finished two chapters with friend and I kinda like it. Looking for extra keys for friends to play.

One hour ingame and really enjoying it. It's too Diablo to dislike it

How do you get extra beta keys?

That's true . Animations are neat.

GGG randomly sends "friend keys" to current Beta testers.

Ya I wouldn't mind a key if someone gets one, thanks .

I disliked Diablo but enjoyed Bastion (at least demo, waiting for a sale to buy it) which is also action-rpg so dunno maybe I would like this.

Just played 6 hours straight and finished Act 2 Normal in one sitting. The game becomes more fun once you get more skill gems and start combining them to get different results.

I'm playing an archer at the moment and have all my hotkeys filled with skills that I more or less regularly use. Throughout Act 1 I pretty much just spammed 1 or 2 skills.

Also, the more you play the more personality you can add to your class via the massive passive skill tree, so that adds to the enjoyment factor as well.

Anyway, I'm glad I finally committed and got past Act1.

If you disliked Diablo, then you'll most likely dislike this as well. It's much closer to Diablo than to Bastion. Also, if at all possible I recommend playing with a few friends, makes it more fun.

Mine seemed to have come the day after I finished act 2, which was exactly one week after getting my initial key... might be coincidence and I just got it randomly though?

Some players get a key day after joining, so I really believe it's random. Me and friend of mine finished act 2 (playground 1) about 5 days ago and still no extra beta key. Because of that we stopped playing and currently waiting for friends to get in and play together.

Regarding graphic quality: I'm really impressed by animation quality and special effects. I haven't played Diablo III yet, but so far PoE looks better.
