First off, let me say that I know there was another thread about this...in 2010. So I didn't want to necropost.
Path of Exile is a "Hardcore Action RPG" In other words, Diablo. It has the same feel as Diablo does, however that is not necessarily a bad thing (Unless you don't like Diablo) The only real differene that I could fine at PAX was the skill system.
When you level up you get a skill point, this branches of into many many different things, although mainly non castable.
To get the castable skills you need gems. The gems are dropped randomly (The dungeons and stuff are all randomed too) And you have to put the gem into a socket of your item to gain that skill. They do depend on your stats, but still, with this system a warrior could get fireball, a skill usually set aside for mage classes. it is a neat concept and allows you to deviate from the path quite a bit of normal character skills.
I had the chance to play this at PAX (I was very intrigued due to it's Diablo look) and it was pretty fun. They were giving out Closed Beta keys and I have yet to try it at home, but plan on it.
Anyone else play this game or have input?
