we've been trying it out tonight, pretty good for a dungeon crawler. worth the hype? maybe. but i would love this skill and spec system in an mmorpg.

[GurrenLagann]

i've been playing for months and its really good.

Its pretty much everything Diablo 3 should've been, including pvp

The Races (timed not species) are really fun to play in but i'm not sure how it will be in open beta.

[dirtyklingon]

us trying it for th efirst time tonight, first of us got to the last boss of act 1 just as others were finished downloading nad making their toons.


idk if i said this already in this thread, but if i did let me say it again, i'd love to see this skill tree in an mmorpg.

I played this ages ago in closed beta. Only had one act available. Has it been fleshed out more?

yes there are 3 acts now and 3 (or 2 idk) difficulties also maps for high end farming.

riven the exile?

dk if you like the skill tree, try out FFX for a bit. look past the cheesy story and experience one the best skill trees made

[GurrenLagann]

so far its doing much better than diablo 3, and i actually like playing hardcore on this game

[dirtyklingon]

i
ve already lost interest more or less. i'll probably play with one of my guildies when she wants company but beyond that...

[GurrenLagann]

i'm still playing but i highly recommend to play on unconventional times (read: later or earlier than american prime time if you are playing in the americas).

The lag can be fatal and cruel, i almost died today but managed to survive due to my skills and potions being going on when the lag happened.

Going to take a break until the lag diminishes or it will be stressful to play hardcore.

[dirtyklingon]

AMG WORSE THAN D3!

[GurrenLagann]

at least i can play

[dirtyklingon]

i see quite a number of people starting to realize that this genre of game is indeed farming the same maps over and over again for gear forever.



they actually thought it was something particular about d3.

[Machazareel]

They must not have played many hack and slash RPG/Dungeon Crawlers in their time.

When the entire gameplay revolves around killing swaths of monsters for loot, it's safe to assume that's what the endgame will be, too.

that's pretty much what i've been saying about d3 all along

[Neb]

I thought PoE people would all be diablo 2 rejects.

[dirtyklingon]

basically same people as d3 really.

[GurrenLagann]

it's basically everyone who played diablo2/3.

And i don't know what people expect. Do they expect puzzles? I mean all there is on these games is the gameplay which is killing mobs over and over and over.

The thing is that PoE has races (which are fun) and is generally harder than diablo 3.

I dont know if you guys know but during the closed beta they tested a cutthroat mode where you could enter other players zones and it was free for all pvp with item loss, meaning you dropped all your items when you died. It was really interesting and funny.

While the game is nothing completely amazing i think it's a decent game, they do a good amount of patches and are actively working on the game, and they have to they're a small company and if the game doesnt do well they are going to have problems. So there is a difference with how they handle the game compared to say.. bioware or blizzard.

But yeah, the gameplay itself is somewhat repetitive.
