Path Of Exile

[Bloodcount]

I just found it out. Hack and slash Online only RPG which is also free.


I watched the videos they have put so far and... I must say that i am intrigued.

The game features a truly unique skill system clicky

The game will have a very strong competitive spirit click

And in terms of level design looks pretty good so far. There are large open areas where you can maneuver in big battles, and small narrow chockes in crypts.

The theme of the RPG is dark-ish.

It looks pretty dynamic. Yes, it does painfully look like Diablo, but the game will come out in the first half of 2011 waay before Diablo III. (So every Diablo hard core fan, like myself has enough time at least to try it.)

Hm.. the weakest part of the game, from what I have seen so far is the visual one. The trailer shows some very good level designs, and an impressive lightning system, but the color pattern they have chosen is gray-ish. Sure, it does give a tone of atmosphere(since like I said above the game has a dark theme) but overall it isn't anything mind blowing.

Then again, for a free game, the graphics are extremely good. (keyword is free)

EDIT: Register on here: http://pathofexile.com/ and get into the beta (when it starts that is)

EDIT EDIT: Apparently there are randomized levels and items.

Almost looks like Titan Quest 2.0, I'll give it a try.

The skill system is unique, but that automatically make it good? Maybe not, for example when you go as parties it might come out as harder to find your needed class calls since all of the skills are based on drops and only the core skills come from NPCs, it could mean that a warrior could completely change his play-style go caster while he is supposed to be a warrior. I really want to see what they do with the skill system since its still only in beta.

Actually never mind.

"Players can use any items or skills, providing they have enough of the relevant attribute requirements. There is the flexibility to dabble in unaligned attributes in order to use off-class skills and items. However, it is generally more efficient for players to invest in the attributes appropriate to their character class."

Elder, in the video the guy said that the gems will require certain attributes, so the higher tier spells for warriors will require a lot of str, wich the other classes won't have

EDIT: Nevermind...
