i don't know who the mods are anymore but maybe the can move the Path of Exile posts out of the Diablo III thread into this one.

there's like 8 or 9 of them cluttering up the end of the DIII thread.

thanks

10 dollars to play Beta now

it fun to play and quite a bit like diablo II without as many people

also without all the cheats

Let me know if you need any gems. I have quite a few duplicate dex and int skill gems if you need some. Account name is TrickyNicky.

k ... thanks

I think maybe they have it setup so you find gems opposite of you primary skills.


my sorc finds a lot of melee gems
so i created a melee character and it is good at finding stuff for dex
so then i created a Dex ranger and it finds my sorc stuff

LMAO

might just be chance :shrug:

My first char that I started the free weekend with rarely ever finds gems. The Marauder I started on Thursday finds at least 2 every play session. *shrugs*

poor timing, lol

Open beta is currently slated for June, and eventually the whole game will be F2P.

great warmup for DIII

Hey Tricky ... you know of any mana leech for magic?


I know you can get a mana bonus for a kill but is there any magic leech per hit?

If you find something with the prefix "Thirsty," it should add mana leech based on damage %. Or at least that is according to the prefix list: http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/prefixmod

yea, but that is '% of physical damage"


doesn't apply to magical damage

There is a mana leech support gem.

Do you know whether it's for all damage or just physical?

It would depend on the skill gem you link it with, I would assume.

i definitively need to find one then and give it a try


running out of sockets though :)


Those gems that change the sockets for an item are great. You have to have at least 2 sockets on every item to even come close to having enough.

wow ...

found my first unique at level 31. I'm already committed to axes though.

The passive skill tree in this game is tits. I'm going to stick with this and skip Diablo III.

any benefit to playing a group?


share XP(faster)
share rarity%?

Good for them.

Of course. The rewards are better, but it also makes it a little more difficult.

cool ... if you ever want to do some runs, just holler.

I have a lvl 39 zoomancer witch that kills stuff pretty quick.


actually started like 6 characters at variously levels ... working on a lvl 18 Blood Ranger right now.

Another free weekend starts at 7pm tomorrow night and lasts through Sunday. They've patched a lot of stuff and added the final character/class, The Shadow. If you are finding yourself looking for something to do before D3, there are much worse ways to spend a weekend.

game is more difficult now

If you buy the BETA, everything resets before the game comes out, correct?

yes

I believe there are two more resets planned when it goes from closed to open beta(in july??) and when it goes completely live. I'm not sure though.

the last patch that came out made the game significantly harder(in a good way) so they seem to be headed in the right direction.


fyi - when they wipe things they haven't really deleted anything so far. They just move all the existing toons over to the 'legacy league'. All the toons and equipment are still there and you can still play them. They just know that the old toons might not work the same way with the new rule changes so they separate them. IE when DIII nerfed IAS and now those builds don't work right so they would be put in a separate league.

They did move those characters to a different league. It's called the "I won't ****ing play anymore" league. Apparently it's growing rapidly and has a very vocal fanbase.

The only thing that I noticed that I'm not a fan of is the inventory slots. I ****ing HATED that in Diablo 2....you could only carry around 6 or 7 items and then you would have to town portal in to sell them. I actually like how Diablo 3 does it now with each item only taking two slots in your inventory.

Anyone have an extra Beta access key?

Otherwise, I might buy one tonight and start playing this. Anyone else thinking about starting an account?

I'll probably play it after it goes live and it's free.

That will give me enough time to play Diablo 3 and get sufficiently pissed off at it.

I said **** it and used some of the paypal i received from selling gear on the RMAH in D3 to buy the beta.

with the 10 bucks you also get game credits

i think all the game credits go to cosmetic stuff except for being able to buy extra stash space.

It allows me more stash spaces or more character slots.

And just warning anyone buying this.... it may or may not take the rest of your life to download and install this game. I'm not sure on the actual length yet, as it seems to have said "**** you" to me as it crawls its way to the finish line in an epic journey of toe heel toe heel foot shuffling.

LMAO LMAO

****ing ridiculous that a free to play game got so many more things right than actiblizzard did.

Jesus...

The graphics aren't as cool, but the gameplay and the "little things" have been far better.

sorry about that, i forgot to tell you about the slow ass download.

You pretty much just need to go eat lunch or something LMAO

I prefer the graphics in PoE over D3. The art direction is better and I like not having particle effects all over the screen. The monsters, human enemies, armors, and weapons have a more classic dungeon crawler design than D3 does. I lost interest in playing Diablo after I saw the character costume videos several months ago. It looked very WOWish.

I love PoE so far but I hope they can add a lot more magic (blue) skill gems. There are a lot of useful cold spells but the fire and lighting spells are too few. It would be nice to cast spells other than just elemental magic or summoning minions too.

My cold Templar build is the most powerful I could come up with. In the passives tree I just chased down cold magic bonuses. once you have most of them, you can do 600+ dps in cold spells with the right support gems.

I started a maurauder. I wanted to try to be (somewhat) original and build a two hander right out of the gate. Turns out all the Maurauders i saw in town were 2 handers. LMAO damnit!

I have ample red gems right now, only 1 green, and about 8 billion open blue slots in my gear.

i went through and counted the passive % increase for the elements

lightning 15 nodes for 104% increase
fire - 20 nodes for 140% increase
cold - 14 nodes for 104% increase

fire can be the strongest but 30% of that fire increase is a 5 node cluster way over by the melee side of the passives.

Templar is the closest for fire, it takes 53 total points to get all the fire nodes
Witch is the closest for cold, it takes 37 total points to get all the cold nodes
With is also the closet for lightning, 39 total points

Shadow is last in every element, especially fire where it takes 75 total point for fire compare to 53 for Templar

just nerdie fyi

:)

finding the right sockets/colors/links becomes increasingly important.

make sure you guys keep all your orbs

stuff like chromatic orbs and orb or alchemy are really important

chaos orb,fusion orbs etc ... all of them are needed later to try and craft the right equipment.

I've been saving a shitload of gear plus all my orbs and shit like that.

I signed up but I'm not spending money to beta test a game for them, I already did that with Diablo.

FistyMcTatt is my username on POE

Laz, you want to update the op with player usernames?

sure, but you don't see the acct name when you chat only the character name.


so it's hard to find people

i think it's only another month until open beta

Well how the **** are we supposed to find each other then?

Upcoming Patch Schedule and Open Beta News
Friday, June 1, 2012
We expect that Path of Exile will enter Open Beta in mid-August. At that point our final character wipe will occur and the game will be permanently available for everyone to play.

i have no idea, i really haven't explored that part of the game yet.

i know you can 'friend' people and then a little popup tells you that a friend is online and where the friend is

iirc with Diablo II you only 'friended' a specific character, not the total account ... this might be the same way. :shrug:

You friended accounts in Diablo 2, not just a character, unless they changed it since I've been playing.

And the music in this game is awesome. It definitely plays into the environment.

i friended you

also shouted out your name in general chat


you either ignored me or have general chat off

LMAO

I turned off general chat.

I accepted you then sent you a whisper that "You suck" last night but you didn't reply. You were level 4 at the time. I noticed later you hit level 5. gratz.

Heh ... i started a barb errr .... Marauder.

melee damage is so much higher than magic ... at least at the beginning.

i wonder if it lasts into the higher levels

If you find any totems, i'll buy them from you.

I want a shock totem and a "any skill" totem

Well? Thoughts?

Haven't had time to play the last 2 days, and won't again tonight. But what i played that first night was encouraging. The skill tree is confusing, which is a good thing. The linear skill setup in D3 absolutely infuriates me. There's no customization.

POE is all about customization from what i can tell.

yeah there's tons of customization in PoE. you really have to specialize and build your character to fight one way. there are so many passive skills on the skill tree you can only see 1/8th of them at a time.

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/

i strongly recommend using that passive skill tree planner before you start assigning any skills on your toon.

so important to plan your skill 'road'

I usually don't assign any passive skills until level 10 or so. I want to get a feel for the character and skills before i add the passive skills because they are so extensive.

NO AUTO RESPECS

Anything new?

Yeah. You're mom's still a whore.

Wait, that's not new at all.

still playing it

In process of crafting a new set of armor because i'm too squishy for Ruthless level


Hoarding as usual ... 5 mules so far and a stash STUFFED with rares(7 pages worth)

they are working on new stuff right now ... i think they will have one more patch before going to open beta next month. Probably want time to work out bugs on last patch before open.

game is still more fun than DIII

You are mom is still a whore?

The whole you,your,you're thing is amazing

i've caught the bug from this place too

I KNOW the difference and still catch myself screwing it up all the time.

I'm sure i still mess it up to,two,too.

Honest mistake. I was going to say "You're a bundle of sticks" but i didn't want the autocorrect so i retyped it as the mom statement.

Forgot to edit the your.

So **** you.

Public Stress Test Weekend #3 is this Weekend!Sunday, July 22, 2012

This weekend (July 27-29) the Path of Exile Beta servers will be available for public access! We've put up a page with answers to common questions about the event here. The last two public stress test weekends were a huge success, so we look forward to hopefully breaking some records this weekend!

Teh game iz good!

Is it out yet or still in beta or whatever?

beta

I think it's supposed to go live in the next month

for 10 bucks it's worth playing

free weekend to try it out and see if you want to play it

:hmmm: Yeah because I've completely dropped Tera. One day I just stopped playing it. Don't know why. Thanks man. :thumb:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NQig9zRkPAY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm leaving now, but this dude is awesome. I'll definitely check that video out when i have more time.

Spot on..exactly how i feel having played both. Diablo 3 has crisp controls and fairly smooth combat....Path of Exile does everything else better.

i think i want to try and build a righteous fire character

With all these F2P games out, I don't think I'm ever going to buy a P2P PC game again. That genre is dead.

Ohh, I will pay for planetside2 for awhile.. massive shooters are always fun with friends..

Ok so i'm trying this thing on for size. Character name right now is Biit

Highest level is 63 already. ROFL

Some people...

Ya that dude has no life, been playing and seeing his updates every few hours. Just for reference I'm all of lvl 9. lolz

so I downloaded this over night. STarted playing today.

Yup, this is what I want to play lol. I like this. There's a much higher learning curve than D3 and I like that. Starting to figure it all out and I'm a little blown away. this is gonna be a good game I think, I just hope the end game is nice because thats pretty much the whole purpose but so far so good.
