Path of Exile entered Open Beta!

Hello,

I've started playing this game when it was in closed beta, it was pretty interesting, but had to much work to do. Now its in open beta and everyone can enjoy it.

Path of Exile

Some info from the website:

Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. We're a small independent team of hardcore gamers based in New Zealand and have created Path of Exile as the game that we'd want to play ourselves. 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".

1. Skill Gem System
Action RPGs have always been about two things: devastating skills and valuable items. Skills in Path of Exile are items - gems that grant abilities when socketed into equipment. A wide range of support gems allow the behaviour of skills to be modified. You can augment your Fireball to chain from enemy to enemy or split into multiple flaming projectiles. Up to five support gems can affect a skill at any time. Because gems level up independently and some are hard to find, they can be very valuable in trade

2. Passive Skill Tree
All of Path of Exile's character classes share its vast passive skill tree. Starting at one of six distinct locations dictated by their chosen class, players can focus on the core specialities of their class or travel across the tree to build complex combinations of skills from various disciplines. Scattered across the tree are Keystone passives that drastically alter the way a character is played.

If you dont feel like playing alone or need any help you can pm me in game, ign: Amfornia

:o I haven't heard of this game yet, then again I haven't really followed any news lately...

Looks awesome, downloading right now!

Okay will be waiting to gather up some people, do some questing etc.

Caught my attention...will check it out.

This refers to the thread Quest or Grind, here you can choose both or one of them and still it will be fun. :)

Quit the game when I got to act 2 as a Marauder. I don't know why people are too amazed with the game when in fact its pretty much the same as Diablo 2.

What I didn't like about the game is its trade system and the classes. And the passive skills were at first interesting but the moment I tried the game out it was just like the same as adding attributes. Nothing really complex with it.

I'll be giving the game a shot - downloading it now.

Have been playing casually since Closed Beta, it's the best game in the world in my opinion at the moment :P

I feel so lost with the level up system and what to branch out to... especially when playing them hybrid classes >_<;

I find the non-hybrid classes easier for new players to learn the game, especially the marauder, having so much life at first levels and some damage, you will have an easier time on most mobs/bosses

You guys wanna gather and play, have a discussion over the classes etc?
I'm currently having a full eva archer, mainly focusing on DPS and cold damage.

i am playing on europe IGN:JohanLiebert

Eu: Bowwser [Focusing on Ranger atm]


Ranger is so dang squishy...!! Leaping Spiders in Act2 just rapes her x.x

Hahaha I feel ya man, I can tell you how to deal with them ;)
I'm currently in the beginning of A3, if you think that spiders are a problem, then come check out whats on in the A3. :/
You should focus on surviving in Default League, focus on Life nodes in the passive skill tree, resistance and items with life leech, preferring with percentage. :)

Add me on skype so we can discuss there: vikoss93

i know what you mean i have a ranger witch is my main lvl 27 still in act 2

and other are in act 3 at lvl 24...

lvl 24 in Act 3? Nice! You are good to go and farm since you havent overleveled the area. I am at work now, will be at home in 4 hours and will be able to play. We can play in a party, I was planning on starting a new archer, tanky/phy build. :)

About being to squishy, I went on with full eva, with the opportunity of converting the eva rate to armour, but still lacking hp. I am a level 29 ranger. Currently at 1224 Evasion rate = 50% chance to evade and I can say thats not enough. So to be more sustainable, you will need to invest more into Life nods as I said in one of my earlier posts.

Question: Does Splitting arrow+Pierce+Fork work together, or is Pierce in that pointless?

Depends on whats your aim. I suppose you want to be able to handle large groups of mobs more easily with these links. I suppose it should work, but you would need some cold damage as well for cc. It can be easily found on quivers, instead of having a support gem. Of course if you are aiming at building a phy archer.

I'll be working on a passive skill tree build, as well as links and other stuff as a guide for an Archer, will post it here so we can discuss it. :]

Again - if anyone's up for grouping up, I'm "Bowwser" on the EU realm; in me 30s atm currently questing in A3 just past the sewers bit.

Or to start a new char with, or w/e ;)

No fun playing in a public game where people are just so loot horny where they MUST pick up everything that drops.

Speaking of which, that loot timer ought to be increased considerably... sucks being ranged, and someone picks it up before you even get the chance to run over -.-

Well, I can join you on starting off with a fresh new char, in Monday. :)

All Realms, EU, America etc., are interconnected, into one big realm, so if you are from EU and want to play with someone from US it's definetly possible

Yeah, noticed that recently. Thanks anyway :)
Waiting to get home from work and gonna play.

Yee, I just started playing this game!! My job is a shadow, but does anyone know how to shoot lightning from your hands.. like how do you get that skill?

Find me on skype dude, we can play together and I can give you a tip or two. :)
About launching lightning from your hands the skills gem Arc should do the job. Here's a link with all the intelligence skills: Path of Exile Intelligence Skill Gems
