Title: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: ulya on May 12, 2012, 11:39:58 am
Path of Exile is holding a open beta weekend.

Path of Exile is a game inspired by Diablo 2, and which is made very, very similair to it.
Some people say this is the actual Diablo III, and the D3 released by blizzard is nothing compared to it.

I haven't tried it out yet, but downloading the beta and I hope it'll be more fun than D3, it does look more promising.

The passive talent(skill) tree:
(click to show/hide)

As quite some people here are looking forward to D3, I think they'd like to try this out as well while waiting.

The final game will be f2p when released.

Yeah play this last beta test, felt much better than Diablo 3. Dunno, Diablo 3 character progression seems just so linear compared to this.

There's another contender for best left mouse button masher title, to me looks better than PoE and upcoming Torchlight II. It's spiritual successor of Titan Quest.

Bump, Path of Exile is on open beta now, so everyone can try.

Anyone who played a bit more than a few hours can give a few thoughts of why it might or might not be worth playing?
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Gurnisson on January 24, 2013, 04:35:39 pm
It's a nice game, but was only 2 acts when I played it. I hope they've added some more content to the game considering it was quite short before. Getting a group and playing would probably be quite fun. I mostly played 2p with Lezard, but had a night with 4 player as well (Schmacko and Chase as well). Classes are nice, planning a build from the tree is also great, since there's tons of possibilities. Played quite a lot of D2 back in the day, and comparing them, PoE is quite the good game.

Think I'm gonna try it out a bit again.

Feels very Diablo2 like, to be honest. I like how the potion system is done, so you don't need to bother with refilling potions or having a thousand of them in your inventory. The skill tree is lol :p

Started a Shadow, went hardcore first, died after 2 hours :D

I played it a while ago in closed beta and whilst it was a far better product than Diablo 3 and perhaps also Torchlight II, I found the pace of the game very slow, the general gameplay and combat just felt too sluggish for me personally. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I'm finding it quite sad that I can still load up Diablo 2 and enjoy it way more than any of these new attempts. If Path of Exile's gameplay was sped up a bit I'd probably find the game more bearable.

Yeah.. it's frustrating for me because the game itself is a solid product, but for the type of game that it is, it needs to have a faster pace for me to enjoy it fully, it's not some kind of story RPG, it's a hack n slash RPG and I don't feel it has any excuse being sluggish, if only they made everything in the game even a bit faster overall, I would certainly enjoy it alot more.

The difficulty is not the issue for me, hardcore is only "intense" for anyone because of the risk of losing the character. My issue is solely how slow the gameplay/combat is, petty? perhaps, but it's stopped me from enjoying it and I can't force myself to enjoy it, I guess it's just not my game. Looks like my favourite is still Diablo 2 in this genre for now, which is actually pretty sad lol.

The combat is too much spam. Only the graphics is something i like, for now at least.

Soo let me get something straight about the skilltree. It doesnt really matter what class the game says you are at the characterselection, you can still go for whatever you want in the skilltree?

Kind of. The point where you start from in the skill tree is determined by your class though.

Lightning arrow or poison arrow with good support gems is good for a ranger. Just be sure to get enough mana to support it.

Poison arrow is one badass power to be hones. Been lvling it from the start of the game and its litterally killing entire mobs. The trade system.....eeeeh you get used to it. Its really not as bad as I feared at first really, it just feels kinda.....odd.

I'm playing a Shadow and the lack of any good AoE skills has forced me to hot-swap to bow and spam poison arrow every time there's a large group  :mrgreen:

The server crashes from time to time. This really wouldnt be much of a problem if I wasnt forced to basically restart 3 lvls of f**king dungeon all over again last time. -.- I was also forced to restart 3 lvls of the same dungeon the second time cause I lost in a bossfight and the dungeon had resetted while I was picking up my insides from the floor. Frankly I dont get this system, I didnt get it in Diablo 3 aswell. Da fack is the point of randomly generated dungeons? They all look the same to everybody in these games anyway.

The instances reset every 10-15 minutes so you must've been unlucky. I get DCed all the time and I repeated several areas several times, but I guess at least it gives me levels and gear.
When I reached that fat prison boss dude he practically melted because I was quite stronger :)

What I like so far (played the first act and some of the second as a duelist):

What I don't like so far:
All in all I probably finish the game once on normal and than stop playing.

Yea, the prisonguy was easy to me aswell. Only slight use of ultragay archerkiting. :lol: Bascially I got ripped to shreads by Merveil the first time. Second time I came prepared with frostresistant and health regenerating equipment and she was soft as a kitten.

  • The flow of the game: The most important part of any ARPG: Is it fun to kill things? Well, I am spamming dual strike all the time because it's simply by far my best ability. The aoe totems do next to no damge, so if I have to figtht 20 of those blood apes, it takes ages killing them one by one.Apart from the extra pages for the stash there is nothing worth buying (for that price). I would be willling to pay my 30€ for the game but not for things that should be in the game in the first place.
  • Server stabilty: I get disconnected at least once per hour - I spent 6 tries running from the last portal until I finally reached the act 1 boss.

AoE totems are brilliant, you just need a nice socketed item from where you can get 2 support gems. With a duelist I was spamming totems all the time, since they were extremely powerful in mobs. Added cold and shock damage for freezing and shock effect while it also had a great knockback effect. No infantry managed to reach it and it raped them totally if they tried. Ranged could take it though :P

The server stability is a sad one. Played for the first time in a couple of months yesterday and I got DCed myself. Heard it's been a problem since open beta, which is a shame since there wasn't any problems like that in closed beta. :(

What I'm wondering right now is what is there to do after you finish the story/acts? Are there certain bosses you can grind for more gear/xp? I know there's some PvP but I don't think it has any special meaning.

So is there any point in grouping up with other players? Doesn't look like so far.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Tibe on January 28, 2013, 01:43:13 pm
Tougher monsters, more loot and also this il qoute "Being in an area with a party member grants you a 30% experience bonus". But yea, sofar ive avoided grouping up entirely, since I dont want anyone getting dibs on my magical pants.

PS I also found this in the homepage:

Ironman
In Ironman, players are unable to trade with vendors or refill their flasks in town. Mana regeneration is disabled by default. Players are encouraged to band together and manage their resources in order to survive.

Cut-throat
The cut-throat leagues appeal to the niche of players who demand the most hardcore gaming experience possible. In this mode, all world areas are public, with full PvP enabled by default. Slain characters drop all their items upon death. This game mode can also be combined with Hardcore to create an even more unforgiving world.

Attrition
An attrition league is a short duration league that starts with a fixed number of players and eliminates the player with the lowest amount of experience at periodic intervals. For example, a 24 hour attrition league might start with 100 players and eliminate one player per 12 minutes after a four hour initial leveling period. Players would be able to see how close to elimination they are on an on-screen ladder display.

I think this is all planned. Pretty sweet stuff imo. Also Act 3 is still in the making.

Read the forums a bit, Cutthroat was open for a set time period in CB, they're not in OB for anyone yet. They're thinking of making a permanent Cutthroat league.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Tibe on January 28, 2013, 02:19:08 pm
There really isnt any other rewards than having fun as I know of. And im down with that. Cut-throat could be one badass gamemode alright. Also I noticed you can make your own league(as in entirely your own gamemode) with your own set of rules,  if you pay some some cash for it. Can invite friends and stuff. Also as I understood a little, you can switch leagues or something with your chars without loosing your char or lvl progress or something like that(I really didnt feel like concentrating on reading that :mrgreen:).

Played it with 4 people today. Was fun as pie. You gain xp lots more faster with bigger crowd of people, since monsters gain 50% more hp per person in party. And tougher enemies means more XP per kill. Also we sorta progressed in such quick speed trough the game that quite often half of us got lost or so. Wouldnt recommend going over 4 people when parting up. Harder to organise and it was already hard to understand what was going with already 4 people spamming their powas.

i played couple hours and i can say that this game is pretty nice, reminds me diablo II pretty much, i played with tiberius at start  and it was fun, you can coordinate prtty easy and such but as we got 2 more players in our party nightmares begin.Those bastards were moving so fast taht i barely could keep up with them, once i entered location i saw them leaving for next one and it was so much fun to try to cach up with them through all those bots who have just respawned. Terrible in one word ( playing by 4 not the game i mean).So best thing to do would be team up with 1 buddy and enjoy this great game :)

Well, playing with people you don't know... why would you? I mostly played 2P with Lezard, but had a really good time playing 4P with Schmacko and Chase in addition to me and Leznab. Wouldn't really consider playing with people I don't know and who I can't talk with on ts while playing. :wink:

I spent too much time I don't have the last two nights on this fucking game thanks to you :P

seriously, great game so far. Just feels so damn right everything. Got many good things from Diablo 2 (And even Diablo 1 which everyone seems to overlook, especially in therms of athomsphere) plus some really great ideas like the skilltree. I mean, I had never so much fun planning characters in a game like this. Lets see how long this lasts, but I like it a lot so far.

Lets get some fucking builds up in dis bitch.

Whatcha guys going?

I'm playing a Ranger who will be specced into Physical Damage. I'll be mainly using Split Arrow (every now and than I use Rain of Arrows).

I'm also playing Hardcore (Level 21 currently) and it's my first character and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm still searching for a good single target skill for bosses as that's what I'm seriously lacking, I rape hoards of normal monsters with my split arrow but it isn't cutting it for single target.

Here's my build -

I just downloaded this, but it appears that the server are having their period or something. Getting disconnected all the time, as does everyone else aswell appearantly since I'm in a queue, and there are over 33000 players ahead of me  :?

I just got to level 2!!!!
Anyways, I planned on making a duelist with this build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAf8DAAMnBS0Lqg48Dq0UUhRxF-oY2xnVGtsbqhvIG_odJiFgJGok4ST9Jd8otSmlLPsyCTMMNDU0ODpSO4w-zz96QKBBqkOcRJ5Hfk4qUUdTu1WpVgRW-luvXQBeE185YEtgiGEhYVJlTWqTbI1tSnTteu989X6agTqE2YTvhmCHaoiPiO2KIo70kGyXtJkrpBmnMKmUq8WsurBztkG4N73mvqe_1cAPwKbA88EHypDSTdUA1e3Xft0N3ePlxedU7LbuDu9O8fT1Rvcy97746_lj-0X7_PzF_ZP-K__e (http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBAf8DAAMnBS0Lqg48Dq0UUhRxF-oY2xnVGtsbqhvIG_odJiFgJGok4ST9Jd8otSmlLPsyCTMMNDU0ODpSO4w-zz96QKBBqkOcRJ5Hfk4qUUdTu1WpVgRW-luvXQBeE185YEtgiGEhYVJlTWqTbI1tSnTteu989X6agTqE2YTvhmCHaoiPiO2KIo70kGyXtJkrpBmnMKmUq8WsurBztkG4N73mvqe_1cAPwKbA88EHypDSTdUA1e3Xft0N3ePlxedU7LbuDu9O8fT1Rvcy97746_lj-0X7_PzF_ZP-K__e)

Yes, the servers are having issues due to the large numbers of people testing the game since it is now open beta. They have patched a few times these days, and is getting more stable for me

Been playing for a few days now, Ranger bow going for a lot of damage and health, currently lvl 30 going for the act 2 final boss.
This (http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAdEEfgWEBbUOrRR1FSAV8BmKGf4a2RsBJKUlPymlKk0s6S2DMHwyfjKUNYY26DpSOlg6sz7PPydKfUyxTZJN41FHVvpYr1s9Z6BsFm6qdEF31HfXeA1_An8rg9uGzocZh3aNfY2_lQWXBp2qnyehpKJAps-m4KfUqW6qf6q4q9KsWa_rsTC0GrXyt-K5zb3mxKLK08uCzkjOcdBH2cbajdwV3Q3fv-LL7g70-PlW-WP8S_zF_o_-yA==) is my wip build, need to change some things.

hmmm for some reason copypasting the link in this forum breaks it, while selecting and pasting it from the edit box works

Something I am really hating is the colour and chains of gem slots, whenever I get a newer better item, I have to use 20+ orbs of alteration just to get some decent green slots in the items with place for my support runes
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Gurnisson on January 31, 2013, 02:55:30 pm
True, but if the item is only a tiny bit better, I would continue to use the weaker item with better sockets and save the orbs for when a great item comes around.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Moncho on January 31, 2013, 03:21:15 pm
That is what I did, did not change my unique act 1 bow until almost the end of act 2, when i got a much better item that spent all of my orbs trying to get it to have the right sockets. (I think in total something like 40 in total). This item is now excellent though

Comparing my enjoyment of PoE with the price tag of Diablo 3... I feel like Blizzard fucked me in the ass too.

Annoying how much "more" of everything PoE is in comparison to the mighty Diablo 3  :?

I was fine against merveil. All u need is a charge or sprint if you're melee. Actually, I have more trouble with hailrake then Vaal or Merveil. Having a low lvl freezer with mobs around him is a nightmare.

I have a lvl 30 HC mace/shield Templar, but I got bored of him. Right now I'm playing a GS duelist.

Btw, does anyone actually use CI? I don't get why you'd want it unless there is a skill that turns damage into chaos damage.

It is useful for pure int characters who rely purely on energy shield, since from the wiki (http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Damage_Types#Chaos_Damage):

I have 2 lvl 30ish characters, a kiting archer ranger I got tired of and a tanky mace shield templar caster.

I started a rather unique build...

I'm playing a Marauder Ranger that primary's Explosive Arrow. I'm using the unique bow Quill's Rain

 
(click to show/hide)

The huge attack speed will allow me to stack 5 explosive arrows on a single target and have it explode AoE for massive damage. I use Bear Trap for very good single target DPS. I just hit 25 and I picked up Blood Magic a few levels ago so whenever I hit a enemy with explosive arrow I gain health back (but explosive arrow takes away my health since I have 0 mana and skill cost health instead).

Life Gain on Hit support gem 12% with my Explosive Arrow gem along with Regen and 4 health flasks I'm always topped on health.

Enjoying it quite a bit so far...I'll be using this level 5 unique bow till level 50~
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Berserkadin on February 03, 2013, 01:06:01 pm
I'm planning on having blood magic + life leech passives gem on my 2 active skills, then use my mana for auras. 40% auras doesnt really work good with Blood Magic passive skill. Btw life leech gems are alot better then all other life leech in the game, since it gives health for all dmg instead of only physical.

I'm lvl 46 now with my bow templar, really starting to shine . Just wish I could get my hands on chain + GMP passives for lightning arrows.

"Characters with only 1 life due to Chaos Inoculation cannot inflict damage with Righteous Fire's degeneration."

I intend on using Righteous Fire with my marauder, stacking life and resist. Righteous Fire's damage is dependant on your life total (50% dmg of your total life per second), hence why you cannot do damage with CI.

  • The shop:  I think it's the wrong way that you have to pay for animations, spell effects or weapon effects (way too expensive btw - 8$ for making my fireball look like a dragon - you fucking kidding me?). Apart from the extra pages for the stash there is nothing worth buying (for that price). I would be willling to pay my 30€ for the game but not for things that should be in the game in the first place.
I read someone ingame chat say that this game is more complete than most ftp titles - and I totally agree. I have absolutely no problem with paying (even relatively high prices) for only cosmetic changes. I think those guys (PoE devs) deserve it. I mean, look at all the detailed graphics in this game, the genius voice acting, the harmonious music, the gorgeous lighting and environment, do you know how much work this is? I am an aspiring game artist myself and I am astounded that they give THAT much content away for free. it's a full game.
also, I don't need a firedragon model for my fireball.

but I mostly agree to everything else you said.

Strange, I managed to kill vaal at my first attempt whereas merveil killed me twice.
man, I died at vaal like 10 times with my lvl 30 duelist :c
how did you do it? what class and style?

worst thing was, I forgot to make a portal that one time, and I had to grind my way up again (I was lucky only the first level had been reset, phew). now I'm like paranoid parrot with them portals. you can never have enough of them!

Done it twice out of two times, first with a glass cannon kiting archer ranger by staying far and spamming attack (hitting him when he is outside of the screen with shift+lmb) and moving a lot. Also piercing and poison arrows helped not giving him a break. When he spawned minions, I spammed split arrow and took them down pretty easily. The minions refilled my potions giving me that extra edge I needed, and I killed him with no flasks left. (used this (http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAdEFhAX5Dq0UdRXwGtsppTB8MpRNklFHVvp0QXfXfwJ_K5UFlwafJ6JApuCn1K_rvebEotaK2cbuDvT4-WP8xf7I) build). I do not think I used any portals, maybe one, not sure.
The second time with a tanky templar spellcaster, using molten shell, fire penetration, shield charge and lightning shield, with the passive that reduces the resistance when you change attack damage types. With this one, I had to use my portal twice because I ran out of flasks. Do not remember my build.

In both cases, evade the lightning at all costs, and hit from far, or use shield charge to move out of his attacks and minimise the damage.
(all of this is in normal, I am not that far into cruel yet)

Personally the monsters I have struggled the most with are: Merveil with my archer (forgot to equip cold resist), the first time you meet the woman with both and the second brute (1hit me). I do not remember the names.

Post by: Gurnisson on February 10, 2013, 03:41:31 am
As a duelist I would go for 2 topaz rings and consider tanking the lightning blast, avoid the smash attack. For attacking, use puncture once, and then 4 viper strike. Rinse and repeat until the hp grinds down. Use your good support gems for viper strike.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Berserkadin on February 10, 2013, 09:20:19 pm
Vaal is a tough fight the first times, but most important is to go for the ranged adds asap, don't stand in the lightning attack and if you're melee, look out for his fist! He does a short animation before it. In cruel, with 2,5k hp, it almost 1-shot me.

They're permanent effects that you can take off and put on a different character at any time, in my opinion that makes it worth the purchase.

If you use a weapon effect on a HC character and he dies and goes to SC you can remake a character and put the weapon back on a new character so it's not just a 1 time use.

I've bought 2 cosmetics items so far and I'm really pleased with them.

Well if u liked d2 more than d3, then u should definitely try PoE. There are 3 acts now, an act4 is being added soon. Also alot of bugs are cleaned out and there are lots of players playing currently.
If u want to know more about high lvl HC u should watch the ppl straming their gameplay on twich, very informative stuff  :o

Yeah they have been improving this a bit in the beta, desync is still an issue though, cannot lie that away, even d3 still cant get it away.
They have added a resync code though that if u get hit by a mob and youre not where your supposed to be, the server will resync you and you will be back to the proper place.
Desync can sadly never be avoided do to the way the game works (you can play it with shitty ping, but in exchange desync will happen more or less depending on ones isp and network setup).
I for example have a /oos macro set up on my 5th mouse button, so a soon as i notice something being off and the server hasnt resynced yet i can just use that command and manualy resync (/oos in chat is the resync command to the servers).

For the release though i think they have some more improvements done for this, but be sure though, u can never get rid of desync i these games (PoE, D2battlenet & D3 and some others), due to the game being connected to the servers always so no one can hax the game and cheat their way through the content and multiplayer (some are better than others in handling that hax lol, PoE has proven though that they can), wich also is a good thing, that and being able to play even though your ping is above 140 if u live far away.

Wouldn't desync be even worse when partying (more things can get desync'd). Plus I sometimes suffer from housemate internet issues (when one or more of us hogs the bandwidth and cause lag and dc's for everybody else), and would sometimes abandon the party unwillingly, has happened to me even while trying to finish a trade!

And no, I do not rage most of the time, I don't mind starting a new char and modifying my previous builds slightly (I think cRPG has made me too respec trigger happy) or maybe even try something fully new.
What annoys me is that with my laptop I sometimes lag hard when new animations happen, I wish there was a way to preload them.

In Nemesis, I currently have RaulMoncho (20 duelist) and FalconiaDaughterOfPain (13 scion).

Desync is a pain, yes, but you can avoid it with AutoHotKey. Make a macro so when you press "space" (for example) the macro enters the command /oos, which places you where you really are.

Most difficult thing to figure out is the defense in my opinion. Endgame mobs hit really hard. So try to max your armor/evasion, consider the dodge path (different&additional roll to evasion) bottom right of the tree. Max your resists and increase yor ress cap if you can, stack HP/ES.
Don't invest too much into mana/manaregen. More often it's better to just don't level up a gem just because of the increased manadrain per gemlevel. Also keep an eye on the attribute requirements of the gems level.
Don't waste your orbs.

a simple witch summoner farmer maybe is simple for a beginner but could be boring if you are not used to.

Sword&Board Marauder could be fun & safe

Templar with Discharge skill seems pretty fun and OP

just look at the forums and pick the most viable.

little but helpful tip :

if you need a particular item and you don't want to wait hours to see an offer in the trade channel , just go here ---> http://poe.xyz.is/ (http://poe.xyz.is/)

you can search the items you need and  if you click on them , it redirect to the forum trading page so you can see his nickname and how much he wants.

Currency exchange sites are often very inaccurate and you could wind up ripping yourself off

My suggestion is to join trade chat and just look at the rates people are exchanging currency at, you will notice that most people will keep the same rates as others with slight variation and you can make your judgement from there

Yeah planning a build ahead can be time consuming, but worth it, since respec points and regret orbs are not exactly abundant. Maybe you can make a first char by allocating as you go, but from then on, especially if you play on HC, you want to have a good idea of what you want to do with your build.

Since I can't use numbers, my nickname backwards sounds retarded, (Otsirhc) I was out of ideas. Might rename it though or create another 1

You can totally make a Maurauder spellcaster. I have finished on normal with a melee witch just fine. You "waste" a few points by going there in the passive tree, but it's not a big deal. Anyway, shadow or templar spellcaster should be no problem, since they are already close to the witch's part of the "tree".

I have a  lvl 83'ish incinerate witch on Ambush. Also died a few times on Invasion, because of my own stupidity and decided to take a break. If I return (I probably will one day) It'll be on Invasion tho.

And yes, the de-sync is a problem. Even with a macro. When there are bosses that can kill in with 10 hits, and their attack speed is about 0,05 sec per attack, you can't really afford to: "Oh, I'm probably de-synced, better press the desync butt---- *DEAD* Oh I was on the Wrong side of the wall" :D

Edit: Lol, some ninja-moderator action going on here.

that's why all the arpg i like are unplayable on Hardcore. Diablo 3 is "fun"(fun intended for me is clicking like a schizoid on the screen watching things explode) , the itemization is way better than Poe but it's meh compared to Poe char customization build and good challenges ( ye it's too late to come up with rifts while you noticed that thay have quite large success on PoE, damn Blizzard) , on the other hand Poe has this cancer called desync that maybe isn't noticeable but try to bash a pack of enemies through  a door and kite them back , voila , desync created , death is being the corner , litterally.

Yeh some ppl seem to get it more than others, wich may be do to the gateways that your isp chooses for its networks, other times i heard some ppl getting rid of the worst dsync when they reset their routers or switched from wlan to cable plugin.

I must be some of the lucky guys i guess, dont really get dsync'd much either unless i play "hey lets try forcing trough that corridor/door filled with mobs yo"  :twisted:

i really enjoy this league , crafting , missions , strongboxes and even if i need to play exra cautious cause of some stutters , hardcore is the way you need to play PoE.
SC is funny to try new builds and such but gets boring when you completed all the contents , maps , masters etc..
If the engine was smooth as Diablo 3 , this game would be perfect as it is , maybe lackluster of lore and charisma but who cares when you need to smash monsters?

Enjoy your DC/DS HC deaths.    :rolleyes:


 
Pretty great for a free game, but always felt lackluster in several aspects (p.e. Lore, I do care about a good storyline, like old Diablo/II and the new Grimdawn), and nothing pushes you further. Kind of a "meh" feel to it. And the freaking stutters and connection problems don't help at all.



edit: also, if you like things fast paced, you should check out the new incoming D3 patch with seasons and timed/tiered rifts (dungeons). Lot's of e-peen to raise.

with the --nosound option added to the client , the game runs smooth without freezes at all.
i tried all the possible workarounds but this is a temp fix till i get an ssd.
anyway playing with no sound is either dangerous and ugly :(.

i saw some fix about sound on last patch cant rly remember about what exaclty, it was like today's patch.
i dont have a nasa pc and the game work fine for me why would you need ssd to play it ?
have you tried to change the settings in your sound card , like change from 16 bits to 24bits
or the 44 khz to 22 khz

if u get some desync just use /oos to resync manualy with server.

yes , patch says they fixed stuttering but it's a lie :(

anyway i played a bit with the Xonar software , removed GX option (the Asus version of EAX) and the game seems running smooth now. only 1 time my game froze but before got freezes evry 5 minutes.
maybe playing around with khz will do the trick.

desynch is not a problem cause i'm used to it but when you screen freezes in the middle of Beyond mobs you sit your pants and smash 123 buttons like a monkey.

Too bad it's such an easy game. Well the mobs are at least... it's just too cheap to spam AoE attacks to clear whole map (just as in D3). Although the bosses are just superhard. Hopefully someday Blizzard will make a proper old school diablo just for PC where they don't have to make every single attack an AoE because of the shitty controls of consoles. In D2 it was easy to die when surrounded by mobs and doorways were actually usefull... today's games just encourage gathering all enemies around you and then press some button to nuke them all (even with melee classes ffs)...  :mad:

Just to keep you guys entertained: I RIP'ed another char. This time was a dual knockback flame totem templar, summoning raging spirits. I was Lvl 67 farming marciless vaal :D Most people don't even dare to try that untill they are way past lvl 70 :D So I could say my build was working pretty well... until Vaal lazorbeamed me to death  :lol:

And Sinnistra/Korppis and PTX, how far have you gotten in the game? Normal and Cruel difficulties are pretty much a run-through part of the game if you're not playing hardcore, and most players try to spend as little time doing those as possible. You're not supposed to get rekt in the "tutorial" part of the game after all  :lol:

Uh wat, you do know you can increase difficulty in Diablo? If I went Torment 6 with my ~Torment 2 char I'd die in 2-3 hits. I don't know what else you expect from difficulty settings. And ARPGs have always been about spamming AoE, considering there's millions of monsters coming at you. Needless to say, you're free to spec for single target damage as well.

Something like this.
(click to show/hide)

With 90% increased skill effect duration + increased duration on the summon raging spirits, they lasted for almost 9 sec, and without spell echo I was able to summon 13 of the them at a time. With spell echo it would have probably been way over 20 spirits + the flame totems doing way over 2k dps each :D While the temporal chains I used was also effected by that 90% increased duration. Pretty nice synergy with all the skills. But you gotta run with a sceptre(they give increased elem damage to totems anyway) instead of a wand, cause you need to use leap slam to move around in tight spots -> Lighting warp gets fucked because it also takes 90% longer to work with that passive build  :lol:

I miss my trapper that I RIPed in a stupid way. Was clearing everything easily, then I opened an unidentified yellow strongbox. Spawned the chaos beyond mobs right on top of me because of my lightning traps murdering most of the enemies in the strong box, there was also an exile and I was frozen because of the box. Dying because having to save scrolls of wisdom, felt nice. If I'd had identified it, I'd definitely would've gathered some souls for my (OP) Vaal Molten Shell, becayse Vaal Molten Shell + Life Leech is easy boss- and strongbox-killing. :P

Diablo 1 and 2 were definitely not about spamming AoE, far from it. Mana was much more precious resource back then and you actually had to use it wisely if you were low on potions. Now you can spam spells and when you run out of mana, you just have to spam more spells to get more mana...  :rolleyes:.
It just takes away all tactical aspects the previous games used to have.

Sure I could switch into single target melee hitting guy, but you know there's no skills for such in D3...

anyway .....download autohotkey and set a script to /oos very fast. i'm used to it and i'm glad it's not bannable because desynch shit is really bad in this game.


here's a script (start it before playing) :

Code: [Select]
;----Out Of Sync Macro---- ;My most used hotkey, writes /oos to get you out of sync. Watch out for not overusing in parties since it gets annoying to be teleporting everywhere, especially when you aren't the one in control :D.
^space::
Send {Enter}/oos{Enter}
return


;----Remaining---- ;Shows how many monsters are remaining in the instance.
^j::
Send {Enter}/remaining{Enter}
return

;----Itemlevel---- ;Shows the itemlevel of the currently selected item
^h::
Send {Enter}/itemlevel{Enter}
return


replace "space" "j" "h" with your preferred hotkeys.

this could save you often.

But I has a % quality sweep :C

I changed my mind anyway because I'm partying with tommy and ragnarr atm, tommy spammin freezin pulse and ragnarr with duel shockwave totems: I have to constantly leapslap just to get into melee range before enemies are pushed back and shattered. So... I went up the side of the tree and am going to roll with duel flame totems. Had many totem-toters before but never used flame-totems before, I think with LMP and knockback, maybe culling strike and rarity if I find a 5-slot, should be fun, running vitality and a regen totem aswell :D

I want to start this game but the skill tree and everything are looking complicated and i fear if i do a mistake and put 'wrong points' on skill tree or lvl up random skills my char will be useless.Also if i lvl up some skill i just have to keep playing with it forever or something.I don't know,i just feel like googling a community standard build and just play with it like a bot that just copy everything.I played this kind of games, D2/D3 but i dont feel they are the same..Anyone can explain? :rolleyes:
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Moncho on September 18, 2014, 03:18:39 pm
You get a few respec points as you go along that you can use to remove some points if you make mistakes, but not many.
To start, get an idea of what you want to do: Melee/Ranged/Totem/Curses/Minions/etc, then you have 6 classes with different characteristics (3 basic attributes and 3 hybrids), some better suited for each (eg witch for casters, templar for elementary dmg, ranger for bows), although you can play around. 3 types of defense too: armor (str), energy shield (int) and evasion (agi). With these preferences in mind, choose your class and plan your build.
Builds on the forum are always a good option for a first char, after a few levels as you get some more knowledge you can tweak it as you wish. https://poebuilder.com/ comes in very handy for looking at builds, editing and planning.
Always get tons of hp and elementary resists, and you can always change your mind as you go along as long as you keep what you have already without too many changes. Early anything is viable. But later you will need a decent build.

Skills come in gems, which level up. You need to find them or get them at quests but then, you can use it. But as you lvl up, specialising into one or two attributes and gem types is recommended.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Lennu on September 18, 2014, 03:41:04 pm
Moncho pretty much covered it.

There is a big difference in using attacks or casting spells. Most attack skills are roughly "deals 120% physical attack damage, 50% of the overall physical damage is then converted to fire damage" etc ... This means that your weapons base damage determines A LOT, since everything your attacks do from there on is based on that. This also means that the level of your attack skills doesn't matter that much. Take the example I gave, and imagine that the skill would get +2% increased physical damage per level. So you will want to level up that skill, but since it's all %-based on the power of your weapon, you will want to get a good weapon first.

Spells however depend a lot the level of the skill. A level 1 fireball for example deals 5-10 damage, and a level 10 fireball deals 89-133 damage. So you will want to get your fireball skill as high as possible in order to do damage. Ofc, the skills have a level  and attribute requirements for the characters, so you can't use that level 10 fireball on a lvl 1 character to steamroll everything  :wink:

IMO best way to get started is to search for a newbie friendly build from the forums.
There are A LOT of builds that say "SUPER HIGH DPS AND SUPER TANKY ÜBER DEStROYER WITCH BUILD" but those usually require a full set of the game's most wanted unique items to work at all. So don't get hyped too easily :D

Hehe, gonna reroll a flicker strike shadow when I get my new pc. I ran through acts 1 and 2 on normal today, but my laptop started to heat up so badly that I had to stop playing :lol:

Basicly my build is focused around 2 cheap uniques: Oro's sacrifice and Atziri's Foible. I already have the Oro's lightsaber: a clanmate gave it to me for free, and now that I've been checking the trades on poe.xyz people are selling it for ~1 chaos orb. 2nd unique, Atziri's Foible should be buyable for ~2 chaos.

Skill tree here, when I reach this I'll be lvl 67 and able to use Oro's sacrifice.
(click to show/hide)

Since Oro's sacrifice deals only fire damage, almost all melee nodes are useless, same goes for pretty much all attack skills since they scale physical damage. So with I'll just start as shadow, grab all those juicy elem. damage nodes and life, continue to Eldrich Battery that allows me to increase my manapool massively. From huge manapool comes huge mana regen (boosted by atsiri's foible),  this enables me to use arctic armor to protect me against the increased fire and physical damage as well as reflected fire damage.

Then I'll just grab more fire damage and head to Templar side, grab all the life nodes I can and get that juicy weapon elem damage. Until I can get resolute techique to counter my lack of accuracy.

Basic Idea here is that with that passive tree, oro's natural chance to ignite and chance to ignite support gem I should end up getting ~60% chance to ignite per hit. And every time I ignite, I'll get a frenzy charge -> frenzy charges to flicker with multi strike = 3 hits with the prize of 1 frenzy charge should keep me going infinitely.

The only problem is that Oro's sacrifice is lvl 67 item, so I'll have to use fire based spells till I reach that level. And once I get there I'll probably RIP because flicker strike + multistrike is pretty impossible to control  :lol:

That's a good, solid build.

The linked items drop randomly, like all loot. And you can craft those yourself too. Magic Find is split into 2: item rarity and item quantity.

And the skillgems on your 2nd weapon set slot will gain levels while you're using the other weapon.

Poophammer, are you usually playing scrubcore or hardcore? Anarchy was softcore, right?

IMO in hardcore it doesn't feel nearly has grindy as softcore, since you're not really "grinding" your way to the top. Instead you're surviving. Try desing a build yourself, and put it to the test on HC, way more entertaining.

Stuns upon opening? Do you mean freeze? Strongboxes are very easy to avoid death if you use the Smoke Mine gem, which is a must have on hardcore for boxes in most cases.

Haha, like Poopy said, there is a way to avoid a death like that. Smoke mine or lighting warp will get you away from the strong box safely. And ALWAYS identify the box, so you know what's coming: get a potion ready for freeze or ignite, as those things might get you killed unless you remove them, shock + exploding/nova box can also do a hit of 5k damage etc.

I'm right now lvl 50-something on the bloodlines league, running somewhere in mercyless act 3.

And although I have enjoyed this quite a lot, the evolving capitalism annoys me tremendously. I don't feel at all like I am not in the real world anymore. I can't escape the tediousness of a living economy.

Yeah, I know I don't have to do anything on the marketplace to enjoy the game but I run out of space and I don't want to throw away the goodies I find. When it comes to selling them, every tiny numerical stat may immensely decrease the value of an item. And people love to be on the hardcore edges in this game. All that orb gambling and trying to obtain godly rng combinations...

I might want to return, but thinking of the above leaves me in doubt.

If u dont want to get more stash space, u can just make another account and use it for extra space, GGG allows u to open two clients at the same time so u can move stuff between accounts, its not against the rules.

I only trade a little, its not really needed to be filthy rich, unless u only want to make them expensive builds and rolling in new leagues always is more fun than staying in the perma leagues, plus its actually easyer to trade there since everyone starts from scratch and ppl dont only look for the top tier gear.

poe.trade (http://poe.trade) is a good index site to figure things out about what stuff usually goes for between players, its also pretty sweet when looking for great deals when u need something to max out your resists etc.

Thought we should advertise that we have an active PoE group, and if anyone wants to start getting into the game, or wants people to level/get gear with, or any help or advice about trading, needs gear, build advice, or just somewhere to chill while they play with others who are doing same to compare strategies/builds, w/e, come into our TS (176.9.48.138 its HRE/Coalition TS), we are, of course, in Templar channel, if you cannot get in poke someone in the channel :D

All are welcome, take note we usually play hardcore leagues, we sometimes race, are often mapping and just want to welcome more ppl. We have an active guild, with a guildstash that is usually crammed with goodies up for grabs.

TL:DR =

We play Path of Exile a lot. You should to.

our ts 176.9.48.138 Templar channel

Welcome noobs and veterans for lols and best loots.

EDIT: I'm glad that my post was moved within MINUTES and there are server mods nolifing it like this (

I'm lvl 76 on bloodlines, and up for sum mapping. Trying to get myself a 5-link Belly of the beast right now.

Edit: okay, managed to buy a almost perfectly rolled one, but not a 5-link. In the end I payed 1 exalt, 36 chaos, 32 fusings, 16 alts, and 11 alt shards for it. The guy selling it was a real fucking jew.

Toommy is lvl 86 I think, we lost some high lvls chars in past 3 weeks and one tooday in some really funny way.
I have only 2 60+ lvl chars but I play that league only for like 2 weeks, feel free to jump on ts.

Post by: Lennu on January 30, 2015, 06:35:03 pm
In the bloodlines league, I've played 3 characters to lvls 70+. 2 of them are still alive, my "main" character just reached lvl 81. And finally I got my first good drop, drillneck. I'll hopefully be able to sell it for about 4 exalts.


Edit: RIP'd that lvl 81 char  :rolleyes: (melee, using static strike)
I was doing a lvl 70 map, with pretty easy mods. Then I ran into that rogue exile that summons zombies, managed to crit and kill all the zombies at once = they blew up on my face and killed me instantly. Silly death now that I think. I could have just switched my static strike into a glacial hammer so I wouldn't kill the zombies and just single target focus down the exile while using enduring cry on the zombies to keep up my immortal call.

I still have my drillneck, so now I just need a figure out a new build.  :D

New 1 month leagues start march 24th.  If I understood correctly, the patch that comes with those leagues will give some "quality of life" improvements, like player names on the minimap and stuff.  When the 1 month leagues end, I believe they'll launch another big patch with act 4.

I got a new rig, ran POE, its a new game. :D


rig specs plz. i switched to win 64 and added 4 more gb of ram in order to run poe decently but it freezes randomly again.
Don't know if it's an isp issue or not , probably it is but the fact is i can't play hc anymore :(
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Patoson on March 20, 2015, 02:50:59 pm
I have a decent rig as well and PoE freezes sometimes, especially when I open a strongbox and lots of enemies appear at the same time (also with visual effects), lasting 1-2 seconds, and, when I alt tab and go back into the game, fps drop a lot sometimes until I zone (like opening a portal and going to town and back; that fixes it).

That plus the desync make me not play HC either. I already lost a few HC characters due to desync.

The game is just not very optimised. I was reading about D3 vs PoE yesterday, and many people claimed that D3 has a solid engine but poor content, and PoE the other way around.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: POOPHAMMER on March 20, 2015, 06:00:00 pm
PoE is pretty poorly optimized, you will need one decent rig to run it proper. I am gonna be buying a new videocard soon just so I can run path nicely :P

Peep my latest char, low life Kinetic Blast. It is incredible, I melt everything.

Post by: Bjarky on March 22, 2015, 06:27:48 pm
Yeah, if u want a nice performance improvement for PoE, get an decent SSD.
It will rid u of the long startup/load times and alot of lag spikes, the game engine is loading tons of data at certain points ingame, where most harddrives or rigs cant keep up fast enough (you'll notice it alot on fx opening strongboxes).
Also most SSD's dont cost much and they are great for anything else power hungry as well.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: BlindGuy on March 22, 2015, 08:10:05 pm
Yeah as Bjarky wrote an ssd is huge help. also, run a decoy totem or some other junk in a single slot if you aint got minions nor totems, put them near the box, use a transport spell then open box, get pulled away safely. Just have your emergency exits labeled clearly :D

Bjarky, here are my specs:

Framerate still drops often and I get freezes that last up to 2 seconds sometimes, and it wasn't any better when I owned a GTX570 and used Windows 7 x64. The game will give you stuttering and freezes no matter what your rig is, I guess.

Still, the game is lots of fun.

I'll be making a Animate Weapon build on the new 1month hard core league. Early game is probably really slow with that build, so if you're strating in that league as well lets party up so you can carry me!

Ooke, made a quick test build on that char. Brutus died easily when I just brought some weapons with me: he got swarmed and died almost instantly :lol:

Bjarky, silly me, I had graphics on max except for AA. I decided to leave them at minimum, except for shadows at low quality, and now it's much smoother. Still, I get freezes every now and then. And, when there are too many corpses (+extra gore) and items with Z enabled, damn!

Decided to try this out with a bud, f2p so why the hell not.

Really liking it, I made a templar and spam lightning tendrals, it seems to be going quite well, but I do struggle on bosses.
Though since my friend plays a ranger, we tend to make it through most stuff.
(We're both lvl 27)

Not noticing the stuttering or freezes, though the fps does drop at times (never below 30/40, so I've never really noticed it).
I do have a pretty high end rig though, which probably explains it (my friend has a similar build and hasn't mentioned anything).

Anyone playing Tempest league, feel free to add me. IGN is Lezaerd. Been playing solo almost all the time, the guys I usually play with apparently weren't as hyped as I was.

Died recently to a Malachai smash (one-shot) in normal lol. Didn't see it coming and I didn't do any research of the fight beforehand. Heard it's physical damage and my physical mitigation was pretty abysmal.

lol oh, thats all? You can drag them all the way to the right of your stash so they are out of the way, and leaving all your accessible tabs organized. The remove only only exist on permanent leagues and are leftover from temp leagues. It is no big deal really. I have 82 stash tabs, and like 100 remove only lol

you are right , it's very boring and probably the best starter char for beginners cause you don't need expensive pieces of equip.
anyways i'll try to add summon raging spirit in addition to flame totems and maybe the build will look less tedious.

Now using arctic armour instead of herald of ash, syncs pretty nicely with incinerate with the buffs coming when you stand still.

Flame totem is just free dps on bosses and I like to put them up next to monster packs I cba killing when I clear areas. If I clear one pack with totem and one with inci all the time, I can level almost twice as fast.

Anyone on EU side still alive and playing (tempest)? I'm lvl 74 atm, still gearing up but flickering away like a boss anyway.

Edit: I just got a really good bow drop (+1 gem lvl, +2 bow skills), so I'll probably reroll into a poison arrow build sometime soon. The bow itself should be at least 3exalts worth  :lol:

Another good thing to keep in mind if you did not know, if there are no corpses around it, it will detonate corpses made from the mobs that spawn out of the box when you get in range. I got ganked once by that.

Heh, altho I dislike the "farming frenzy" with the corrupting tempest, it is insanely effective way to make money. It was on Mountain Ledge a moment ago, and I managed to run it 3 times. Made about 100 jewellers and got rings/amulets/belts for at least 6 chaos orb recipe.  + ofc a lot of other junk, even got a Inner Treasure mob -> unique downgraded into a rare, it was only the Ashrend tho so no harm done  :lol:

Funniest thing are the corrupted rare maps with way over 100% item quantity  :lol:

I was watching trade chat yesterday and saw lots of ppl buying mountain ledge at 2c.
i was like  :shock: so i googled poe.tempest and discovered the corruption , nearly 15 minutes to the tempest reset  , i opened one in my hide and another one in the eternal laboratory.
result was awesome , like 4-5 6 link (sold a  rare 6l bow today for only 20c) , 4 5L and loads of shit , that's why i'm always checking that site before joining any istance :D

the thing i'm really disappoint at is that GGG allow the use of a private search indexer that keeps track of all items , equipped/stash of any character ingame and it sends data to you waaay before before poe.trade does.
I don't complain about the meta crafting method cause it was ingame from the start but ye , nobody used that apart that group of people that abused of it and monopolized the market.
but the use of a private indexer must be forbidden as third party program that's not allowed in the GGG's policy.

oh , here's an explanation about it --->http://www.twitch.tv/ghudda/v/11871329?t=10m53s (http://www.twitch.tv/ghudda/v/11871329?t=10m53s)

After three years and spending time with this game, I would like to ask forum moderator to erase part of topic title (the actual Diablo III). While this game is very different to Blizzard's Diablo III and does many things more true to actual Diablo series, have to say that is nothing like first two Diablo games. Severely lacking in charm, meaningful story and characters, with easy way passive skill net to avoid actual balancing work and many RNG focused mechanics that are added over basic RNG mechanics every Diablo-like game posses. This game is a monster, created by former Diablo moders who got carried away in their madness and race for more extra RNG bullshit they can add on top of original formula, such as loot chance changing maps you collect.

There is a reason why this game has been the way it is for past three years. "Bugged" one-hit mobs aren't bugged, never were. They exist in Diablo II mods of same creators, they are placed by developer by design. Also networking is garbage because people who developed this steaming pile of crap aren't skilled enough to program decent net code which will support as few as one mob and one player character without cause desync. They somewhat fixed this three years later with predictive mode which feels awful.

You are free to enjoy this game, since it is free as beer (no P2P elements). But please don't call it actual Diablo III, because that is an insult. Maybe even greater than considering Blizzard's Diablo III to be true successor to previous games.

Yeah, in fact Grim Dawn is actual Diablo III. It has that long lost dark feeling that reminds of D1.

My biggest issue with PoE is the crappy monsters.. the entire game is about fighting crabs and monkeys, and it friggin sucks when your superhero character gets compelety beaten up by a shoe-sized little critter.

Nope, I don't play in roguelike mode. Only standard. Thing is that I'm playing two games side by side, modded Diablo in singleplayer and this online. Have to say modded Diablo is way better at core mechanics of aRPG, not to mention story, characters, general atmosphere. That is why I don't like when people call it Diablo successor, it is nothing like Diablo.

Dunno why you waste your time in hardcore when Brother Laz has a decade of "experience" adding "bugged" tiny mobs which have insane RNG damage, to the point where they will one hit you. Median mods are full of that crap on Hell levels in Diablo II.

must day i played a lot if not all hack&slash games similar to Diablo and there's anyone of them that can be compared of.
Path of exile is a very good h&s because it introduced an amazing way to build your char with the passives but it lacks in optimization and the lore is non existent ---> NOT COMPARABLE WITH DIABLO 1 & 2
Tried Diablo 3 yesterday (just to see how long it stays on the computer before being uninstalled) and i must admit they actually introduced a way to create builds with the re-implementation of the Cube and the possibility to "wear" some passive tranforming some uniques into it. It's still cartoonish like a Torchlight , i cringe when i'm fighting against teddy bears BUT ....the re-introduced the cow level!!! moooooooooooooooo. Yet it's still a mediocre game where items counts as the main resource of building a char and the lore is just a big WTF (at least for me). ---> NOT COMPARABLE WITH DIABLO 1 & 2
Grim Dawn should be compared with Titan Quest , it has nothing to be compared with Diablo imho (but it's a good game , clucky interface , camera etc but yet good).
The one i'm missing is Umbra (not you cunt :D) , an upcoming h&s with some very cool features ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz-xunEI1X0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz-xunEI1X0)

Diablo 3 is a travesty, it can't be fixed. Game mechanics isn't only issue.

Blizzard, in order to make their games even more appealing to children aged 5-12, created new universe which is very much like Marvel's. Mishmash of Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft and now this new thing called Overwatch. Those worlds aren't compatible. Diablo is (was) dark and mature world, for people who prefer horror games. Warcraft is a fairy tale like Star Wars, despite the fact it stems from brutal Warhammer universe. Starcraft is similar but it is darker in nature and very sci-fi. They don't mix well. But they don't give a fuck. Money talks. Therefore they make games with all major characters from their games and pretty much destroy those characters in the process (have you seen those childish Diablo skins or King Leoric in Heroes of the Storm?)

They don't respect their lore anymore, they transformed into Activision's puppy. Luckily for us, they haven't reach final form because Activision still doesn't allow them. The moment Infinity bullshit universe fails among children, they will start producing interactive Blizzard toys/avatars. But Infinity cow still gives milk so we are safe for some time.

Just because Blizzard has transformed into something not even mom can love doesn't make Path of Exile an epic action RPG experience. It might be best of the crop atm, but that doesn't mean it is great game. Just that other suck more.

That sums it up nicely. It's the sad story of most good games that got ruined when the companies grew bigger and bigger, and were forced to make more generic, more selling products. Sadly it sells because kids just buy anything. The rest of us can only hope that some indie group rises and builds up the real deal.

Completely messed up franchises. Infinity is Disney's answer to original game concept, Activision's Skylanders.

Skylanders is one of pillar stones of Activisions money making machines. Other two are Blizzard games and Call of Duty.

well , for me it's the oppoiste , even i must admit D3 has improved a lot.
Basically D3 builds are made around itemization , after you find your equip you keep farming higher tiers to drop a better roll for your items or for collecting materials to craft one and with the elective mode you can copy paste the perfect build from diablofans.com and gg.
At least in poe you have to "work" for your build , you have to think about the progression , spend you cash to roll decent equip is frustrating because unlike diablo 3 , currency in poe is not so abundant.
Poe is frustrating from time to time but when you got your lvl 80+ build that works and you didn't copy paste from a forum it's rewarding.
D3 on the other side is like more casual , good to chill with friends and loot whoring even if there are some people try harding to complete GR 70 and place in the ladder...
imho they are different games for different people to play differently and differentially differents  :mrgreen:

i don't think Grim Dawn could compensate all the stuff PoE offers , this is not gonna happen.
Maybe lot of players will try it to have a fresh new game to play with friends but it's different from PoE , it feels like playing Titan Quest remastered in a post apocalyptic era (and i love it).

Diablo 3 took away some of the PoE players just because season 4 started but it's the same shit , 2 builds that works in higher greater rifts ; yes , you can make a crazy magic find build or a crusader pet build  but it's just for the science i assume.

I'm not a PoE fanboy but thats' what i see playing , some could prefer casual D3 farming instead of playing risky maps on PoE or someone prefer Grim Dawn scenery just chilling in co-op with a friend.

Darkshrine league has started boys

Just a heads up before they nerf it to shit

You can use a crit multi rare item (explicit, not sure if implicit foils work) in a shrine for perfection

it makes a random item in your inventory or equipped 20%

so what you do is go in naked (be very careful on hc), with the gem you want 20% in your inventory

do not even bring flasks bc they can go 20%

if you are lucky, the shrine will pick crit multi and give you a 20% gem! i have made 6 20% gems so far this way, its amazing. works on corrupt gems/items as well

I went hipster sword dual wield cleave build and its really quite viable now that duelist has the gladiator class. Basically gives you a hefty bonus to dual weild block as well as converting 100% of the block chance to spell block. Best part is that you have A LOT of attack speed, meaning you basically fly accros the map with whirling blades.

Another great boon that makes the build more viable is the blasphemy gem. You dont have to put any points into life steal nor do you have to run a life steal/life on hit gem, you dont have to put much points into accuracy either, you dont have to worry much about mana and your frenzy charge generation is solved. Everything with just running poachers mark as an aura. I run haste and poachers mark which speeds up whirling blades even more. Clear speed isnt top of the top but its quite fast.

+ more flask charges from poachers mark means i spam onslaught, crit and evasion pots all the time. Pretty nice

I think you got it with coins otherways there is no reason to carry so much coins with you all the time.

Me and steeve grinded shiet out of poe today, we had really good maps with average of ~110 milon exp per hour, also we found zana like 12 times on maps. I was like really tired and wanted to go sleap but steve got me to one last map and it is what we found was lucky zana number 13!


I made like 15 lvls today.

No reason not to. I have been playing very casually if you look at my achievements for this league and level, theres no way I coulda bought them and had that many coins. I carry the coins at all times just in case I get a 1 portal zana in a map.
Title: Re: Path of Exile, the actual Diablo III
Post by: Umbra on April 04, 2016, 09:42:37 am
That doesent make sense. You can still port back home and get the coins before you enter the 1portal Zana map.

Looking for some people to start the next season (hardcore) on March 3. I have to say that you have to be at least able to reach level 60 under less than 8hours. I plan to get a full team of experienced players (6), I got already 1 of my friend that play since beta with me. We play on US servers (washington DC, maybe whatever close...).

If you're interested in a place among our team and think you can be good enough, don't be shy and PM me.  :D

You only have to be there for the first week, everyday. If you want to continue and play till level 100 you're welcome too.

They will add breach to the core game mechanics, so basically it's just some portal that if you step on it open itself... There is an area that will get bigger and bigger and monster will spawn from the extremities. There is 4 kind of breach: Physical, Chaos, cold, fire, lightning
Each of them have a chance to spawn a Breachlord that will use abilities depending on the breach type.
Monsters also drop shards that you can stack to 100 and convert to a map that you can use on your map device.

Multiple new items (very nice items in average :P) are only obtainable from the breach mechanics. You might want to stop opening them if you don't feel overpower enough for your level as it can go pretty bad if you play on hardcore.

Still looking for 3 guys to level up with on 2.6 patch legacy on Hardcore (Washington D.C.)

You need to have some experience on the game and be able to reach high level easily.
We're going to play all the weekend and must of us will stay all the first night to at least reach act4 merciless.

If you want to join us, leave me a message :)


PS: Oh, also you have to be able to count to 4, everything after is stupid useless and you should even consider dropping school.

I'm kinda afraid that I'll just get 1 shot by the bosses in acts 9 and 10 since I have no idea what they are doing and how to fight against them. But I really like the "HC experience" that forces me to play extremely carefully. When I started playing on hc leagues I was so stressed out about dying that I'd even see dreams that my character died, and once I woke up I had to log in to check if my character was still alive  :lol:  Probably wasn't very healthy tho...

Quite strangely, my level 72 4k health/ES shadow with 65% evade isn't really faring well right now. I went with the same build (or roughly) as the previous league, yet I find myself getting absolutely rekt by the mobs, despite me doing way more damage per second than before (10k without buffs, I guess it ends up at around 18k ish right now when I'm using the damage buffs). Did the bots get their damage buffed or something ?
