    Default Path to Exile

    A rather good, microtransactions-monetized, online-only Diablo-esque ARPG. Microtransactions are for purely cosmetic items, everything from vanity pets to alternate skill animations.

    Builds and classes are based on active skills, conferred by gems in item sockets, passive skills, conferred by spending points in a single shared giant, sprawling talent tree, and three attributes (strength, intelligence, dexterity). The six classes are based on one attribute or a combination of two attributes.

    Abilities (active skills) are managed in a unique system: to use an ability, a player must slot the gem's ability into a free socket on their equipment. Gems and equipment have requirements based on a character's attributes (and level as well, for equipment only).

    Passive skills are obtained by spending points on single a talent tree shared among all classes; class determines the starting point on the talent tree. They are also the primary means of increasing attributes.

    Other unique features include a barter-based system, in which there are is no currency, but rather identification scrolls and other utility items are used as an equivalent.

    Is this game F2P ? with microtransactions, I think so right? Saw it a while back and looks interesting, might pick it up since nobody likes or plays Diablo 3 anymore.

    You guys watch Kripparian's videos at all?
    I don't really like the smarmy little fuck but he does know what he's talking about, brings up some good interesting points about PoE and the mechanics of it all and explains it well...I'm learning a lot, worth watching if you're really liking the game.

    Is comparing dropped items with equipped items going to take up the bulk of my time?

    no
    you can make useless whites into really nice rares.
    if you want new gear, make it. crafting is decent in this game.

    most of your time will be figuring out a decent spec.

    I like how a lot of the big passive skills have serious drawbacks. Have you planned out all of your 111 points early on?

    yes

    having just hit merciless at 60 and dying quite a lot (my gear does suck though, I am trying to upgrade atm..) i'm thinking i need more hp and resistances (surprisingly omg...)

    i might create a char on us servers to play with you guys if you are all playing regularly.

    Probably only gonna be able to play 5 hours a week. Probably just gonna make a new character when I finish. Just got to Act 3. Diablo 3 made me tired of playing through all the difficulties and stacking up on HP and resist, and it sounds like you're saying that's what I'm gonna do. Just gonna play around and get it over with, don't need to waste too much post time with it , got me plenty of other games to play.

    My current attacks miss so often, Resolute Technique is going to feel nice when I get to it.

    I was capped so I stopped getting accuracy now I'm at 87% or something...miss now and then, don't really notice it tbh.

    edit: a guy a friend of mine plays with is from america and plays on the eu servers without any hassle btw guys.........................
    you should all re roll on eu servers i am probably the highest level out of all of us. lets bro it up.

    Even at lvl 30. I haven't really added anything to accuracy but I still miss every now and then.

    So I think the eu and us play on the same servers for path of exile. It came up in convo last night in global and there were some NY and Ohio players on, so yeah. Finally a game we don't need to worry about eu/us servers and we can all play together, yay!
    Not that this site is active anymore but yeah.

    also I realised last night that my spec for my ranger is pretty terrible. It's not broken as such, I don't die really but my dps and hp pool is shit, as is my mana pool tbh. So yeah. I might end up re-rolling another character when I can be bothered.
    It's kinda nice though, getting max level is a challenge that requires thought etc. I just wish I hadn't picked my main character name for my first character.
