Path of Exile - Betrayal
« on: May 07, 2012, 08:28:59 am »

Path of Exile is a Diablo clone that holds true to the grim style and gameplay of D2 while throwing in modifiable equipment, skills you level independently/trade (no skill points here), a massive passive attribute grid/passives matrix/Skilldrasil that took the Sphere Grid from FFX and made it bigger and less linear, amidst a number of other awesome concepts, all beautifully rendered with superb graphics that run effortlessly on mid-level computers. There's more to the game, of course, not everything is done yet. But its playable and very much fun. Also of note is the fact that the game uses a barter-like system for shops, theres no gold pieces here on the outcast's continent of Wraeclast.

The game also features six classes (plus a seventh unspecialized class) based around three main stats: Strength, Intelligence, and Dexterity. There's the three main classes to cover the main attributes, then the mixed classes which cover attribute combinations. However, these classes aren't really set in stone, and it's entirely possible to have a Marauder (who is primarily strength based) to choose all dexterity or intelligence based skills. It would just take longer to get to the right nodes on the massive passives tree.

Guild (with a small stash!): Nist Akath, previously led by aristabulus, then by myself, and now once more Ari is leading it.

Posting a new thread is a good idea, but you should at least post some general informations, maybe screenshots, in the OP.

Ah yes, I played this during the stress test and it was quite good. I didn't even have any noticeable lag. I never got to try out playing with a group though, anyone interested in giving it a shot?

EDIT: The game also features six classes based around three main stats: Strength, Intelligence, and Dexterity. There's the three main classes to cover the main attributes, then the mixed classes which cover attribute combinations. My character was a templar, who is a strength/intelligence mix. However, these classes aren't really set in stone, and it's entirely possible to have a Marauder (who is primarily strength based) to choose all dexterity or intelligence based skills.

Note: In the (rather awesome) patch notes for 0.9.9 (the patch that the stress test will be on, said patch is coming out in about an hour), there is a note that all current characters pre-patch will be shifted to Legacy league/Legacy Hardcore league. This means that, while you can play your older characters from last stress test if you want (after you put all of the passive points back on, they respecced all of everyone's points due to shifting some parts around and removing the Avatar of Fire keystone so they can rework it into a non-ridiculously OP state), all the new characters you have will not have the same stash as you had before. The new Shadow class isn't unlocked until the stress test, though :-\

Headsup post: The open beta stress test (and the release of the Shadow class) starts in 6 hours or so.
Feel free to send me a a party invite or friend request or whatever until then, I'll probably be on most of the time until then as the Witch Aklyonix. Or after then, but I'll be playing a differently named guy then since the Shadow would be available to try out.

Also, has anyone caught anything good yet? :P

Wait, this game has fishing? Hmmmmm

You can send group requests out of game?

Also, I hope that the skill path I'm going down won't make the game too difficult before I reach what I'm aiming for.

Pretty sure you have to be ingame to send group requests, but friend requests should work fine being sent at offline people.

Do you guys still play on the Legacy league, or make new characters when the old ones are moved there? I personally like it in the Legacy.
