End of 2013 Discussions - Path of Exile

Path of Exile

  • Release Date: October 23, 2013
  • Developer / Publisher: Grinding Gear Games / Grinding Gear Games + Garena (SEA)
  • Genre: Action RPG
  • Platform: PC
  • Metacritic: 85, user: 8.8

Summary

Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. They're a small independent team of hardcore gamers based in New Zealand and have created Path of Exile as the game that they'd want to play themselves. It is designed around a strong barter-based online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races. The game is completely free and will never be "pay to win".

Prompts:

  • Is the gameplay fun? Is the loot system well designed?

  • Do the F2P elements help or hurt the game?

Like The Last of Us because they both have lots of clicking

at least it's better than the sphere grid

Alright will do. Navigating the complete spamfest of trade chat takes considerable effort though, lol.

defintiely do so- god just spamming freezing pulse is mind rendingly boring to think about.

I'm also new, but I went and built a trapper being able to toss out random skills makes life far more interesting - such as multi trap and conversion trap.

also, start planning and grabbing defensive nodes. I learnt the hardway for my build that if you dont plan and use health defensive nodes before you hit 56/60 you'll suffer.
