Game is awesome as gently caress. I've been playing it since you could buy your way into the beta, and it's so good. Can't wait to uninstall Diablo 3 tomorrow and be done with it.

It's suppose to take a real long time, and you lose experience for deaths, and the exp loss is pretty significant.

These guys really do listen to their fans.

For now they do, until they get millions of players and all of them want to give their input. :ohdear:

All I want to do today is get through my classes and then play Path of Exile all night.

What are the chances Path of Exile might see a release on Steam some time in the future? It seems like the perfect platform to help get the game's name out there even more. Has GGG mentioned anything about Steam?

Also, there was a goon in the last thread who was sent in an item design. Have you heard back yet? I'm curious to learn about your item. Any word on whether these player-created uniques are going to be implemented sooner rather than later?

Having PoE on Steam is on the list of things the devs want.

Everyone please go post in support of my new idea. An animation replacement for walking that replaces it with skipping.

Done. This is a hilarious idea.

Oh yeah, something to keep in mind is that this game is designed for replay. Moreso than most games in the genre - the stash system supports this. It's generously large, account-based and split by league. If you stash all your currency items, unwanted rare/unique gear and generally useful stuff when you're playing Hardcore, then aside from the stuff that you were wearing when you died before, all your hoard will pass on to your next Hardcore character.

If you're doing it right, then successive generations of characters will be inheriting better and better gear. You might end up starting your next fresh character with a full set of unique gear right off the bat. Think of it as meta-levelling.

This is why I keep all yellow's I pick up because I know i'll be making more characters.

Is this off topic? Because i'm curious how the developers are going to make their investment back? Punch Quest was a similar free to play game but they didn't do well for being too generous/good guy developers, how is this game expecting to make its income? Will the cash shop really keep it afloat?

Grinding Gears said they started making a profit off of just the beta packs alone. The support for PoE has been overwhelmingly positive. The cash shop is where they are making their money now.

I took a day off work to play Diablo 2 last year when I reinstalled it in anticipation of D3. This is slightly embarrassing to me, but not really.

If PoE can capture even a bit of that magic, I'll happily pimp out my dudes with shiny poo poo from the cash shop.

It does, it really does. This is seriously Diablo II and I love every bit of it. I really really wish this game was renamed Diablo 3.

Strange. I always thought the General Chat was just there to make any Diablo 3 devs who decide to check out the game feel like a piece of poo poo.

Why? They just have to go to their own official forums. :v:

Returning from a long break from the game, I have a level 35 Marauder with around 300 str. I badly need new gear though, some of the pieces I had before I can no longer use due to how I respecced my character. I was wondering if anyone had anything they could offload to me on standard league?

It sounds like you have to unlock this event? It says its for people who have finished the game a couple times, what does that mean?

I don't think PoE will ever have unlockable content, I took it more as the game mode was just recommended for people who've been the game multiple times.

Okay that's kinda what I was thinking, just the wording really confused me.

GGG just made a post on their forums with 17 old screenshots, including the earliest one they have. It's pretty cool.

Hahah at that first screenshot. That is awesome.

The AH is something that D3 got right, would be nice to see it implemented in more games.

Hahah yeah no. I'm so glad Path of Exile doesn't have an AH, it would suck horribly. The AH and RMAH is part of why Diablo III is such a bad game. You have to design the item drops entirely around the AH if you want a stable economy, and even then the economy is D3 is still really bad.
