Path of Exile. Diablo "clone"
    #15203545 - 10/10/11 01:20 AM (12 years, 4 months ago)

Its not a diablo clone. Couldn't be further from it in the ARPG genre, but if you like that, its got what you want.

Anyone here in the beta?  I wish I had more keys to give out but gave em all out. I might get more in the future though so let me know if your interested.

The website is:

A good intro video to what the game is:

--------------------
I must not Fear. Fear is the mindkiller . Fear is the little-death that
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and
through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. ONLY I WILL REMAIN.

Trailer makes it looks like a diablo clone, how does it differentiate itself in your opinion?

From what I can tell one of the biggest differences is a bigger emphasis on pvp than 'standard' ARPGs. Its also gonna be a free game with free online play but an item store that sells vanity items (doesnt affect gameplay).

It is without question that the war on drugs is a failure. It has failed to prevent drug abuse. It has failed to keep drugs out of the hands of addicts. It has failed to stop drug overdoses. It has failed to keep drugs away from teenagers. It has failed to stop the violence associated with drug trafficking. It has failed to help drug addicts get treatment. It has failed to prevent the cultivation of marijuana and the making of illicit drugs. It has failed to halt the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

So yeah its static isometric view and the combat is about the same as Diablo II, but thats about as far as the similarities go.  Modern FPS games have way more in common with each other than POE to D2.

Yeah there is a huge emphasis on PVP.  The group making this game is really tailoring it to "core" gamers in my opinion.

Its sort of hard to sum up quickly but I'll try.  There is a lot of information on the forums, and signing up automatically enters you into the beta lottery.

Basically there are 3 attributes.  Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence.  There is no skill tree, but a passive tree.  At the moment this has over 750 passives but they are adding more.  It branches off in three directions as to the before mentioned attributes.

There are six classes. 5 playable right now.  strength dex and int classes with hybrids str/dex, str/int, dex/int.  If you choose a strength class you get say 5 str, 1 int and 1 dex for choosing a strength passive.  Yes  you can meander into the dex or int passives, but if you choose a int passive for example you would get 2 int, 1 dex 1 str. 

It makes for tough decisions, because say you want to spec into that dex piercing passive, but it will take you a while to get there.  It might take so much you won't have enough strength to use your items/skills.

Hybrids such as str/dex get for every str and dex passive, say 3 str, 3 dex and 1 int.  This makes for really interesting builds.

Skills are items you pick up that look like gems.  Gear has sockets in one of three colors, red-str, green-dex, and blue-int.  They can be connected or not.  Skills get socketed into your gear and the level up along with you.

There are also skill modifiers that you socket as well.  Say you have a helm with 4 connected sockets. You put one skill gem in, say a fireball.  Then you put skill modifiers "split projectile" "Reduced Mana Cost" and "X% item rarity drop".  So now your fireball is split, it costs less mana and everything you kill with it has whatever % increase of rarity of items."

Or you could put Fireball with "added splash damage" "Increased area of effect" "Split Projectile" Thats gonna really up the mana cost, but it might be good for certain areas or builds.  You can remove skills and modifiers at any time.  Modifiers lvl up as well.  Split projectile while at first splitting in two, will eventually lv to three and four etc.

Any class can use any skill gem or skill modifier gem if they have the required attributes.  So on my ranger I have a lvl 3 raise zombie skill gem I can use for tanks. Its an int gem and I don't have much int, so it won't lvl any higher as I don't meet the requirements.

Still haven't gotten a spare key.  I would suggest signing up on the forums.  Their about to release a huge fucking patch and plan to throw out a bunch of keys.
