Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[dibens]

Character selection screen is enough for me to declare that this is is a true sequel to D2. :hopeitdelivers:

 

[Raapys]

Was fairly laggy when I played. Hit reactions came long after the attacks, and much rubberbanding at times.

 

[dibens]

Ok, where are the damage numbers?

 

[Raapys]

There are none. Not of the floating kind, anyway. If you want to see the specific damage breakdown of your attack skills, you can press 'c' and select the attack you're using with the tabs.

 

[Zdzisiu]

Yeah, no penis enhancing pink floating milions.

Got to level 13, game was a bit laggy at times but with the pressure on the servers right now its understandable.

 

[Surf Solar]

Is anyone (euro gateway) up to play a bit with me? Feels a bit strange playing this alone amongst a horde of drooling retards (seriously has anyone viewed the global chat? ). Games seems awesome so far, reminds me a lot of Diablo II.

 

[Castanova]

Level 11 with my Summoner Witch... was playing smoothly until I just got an "unexpected disconnection" from the server. Now I can't get back on. Oh well!

 

[dibens]

Same here.

Post your username. I'm VinceCarter. Original, I know

 

[dibens]

Add me aswell. Name's Grimsaw. My nazi barbarian could use an authentic German on his side.

 

[Surf Solar]

Someone reached already level 36 oO Just have level 3 at the moment and got killed the first time. :D

EDIT: Name's Surf_Solar (some fag stole Surf Solar already)

I already regret choosing this faggot Duelist, looking at your characters..... ;D

 

[Surf Solar]

Game is gud, a bit chaotic though, shouldn't have started it with 4 beers already ;D

 

[Castanova]

I got to level 15 and the area right before the act 1 boss just before the server had to shutdown for a patch. There were a couple miniboss elites that were non-trivial. I've already died once and this is on the normal difficulty. Nice.

 

[Livonya]

Level 13 hardcore Marauder for me... slow and steady. A fun game. Patch done, back to the grind...

 

[empi]

All you softcore people ;o

 

[IDtenT]

I'll start hardcore, but expect to die inside first half hour.

Game feels rather slow-paced compared to similar games, at least initially? I'm old so I don't mind, but that makes the combat all the more boring.

Loot and char system is quite fun to mess around with. Skills are mostly passive, while abilities come only from gems - do I get that right?

No damage numbers though. Huge turn-off. Hope that's still on the to-do list.

6:36 pm Downloaded the installer...
6:37 pm Checking Resources...
6:39 pm Allocating Space... (lolwut, "allocating space"? Who the fuck needs to spend 20 minutes "allocating space"?)
7:00 pm It starts downloading...
7:02 pm I close the launcher at 1%.

7:03 pm Re-open the installer...
7:03 pm Checking resources... (Only this time I have an odd looking white background in the box and none of the news stuff has loaded)
7:10 pm Allocating Space...
7:11 pm It re-starts downloading from 0%

"There will never be another character or item wipe."​

Them's bold words from some guys who don't know what a "resume download" feature is.

Someone let me know when they actually release a proper product.

 

[Angthoron]

Nah, they have a resume feature from what I've experienced, but they seem to have made it more of an RPG experience by assigning it a d20 roll to successfully resume.

Yeah, it's definitely slower than, say, D3. And yes, you're right - the skill tree contains passives and active abilities need to be equipped as gems.

 

[Stabwound]

The game is pretty fun, but the global chat is fetid text diarrhea as you might expect from a free game.

 

[made]

Yea I miss the intellectually stimulating discussions from the Barrens chat.

 

[Revenant]

What is this bullshit with "allocating space" taking several hours? And here I thought we live in the XXIst century, with modern filesystems and all.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Ok, I just re-opened it. Seems I may have been over-valuing the percentage figure. It would seem (at least for now) that the percentage resets itself. When I closed it, I'd downloaded about 1% of 5.05 GB. When I re-opened it just now, I see that it's at 0%, but it's 0% of 4.97 GB.

The sneaky bastards. Rather than being X% of the total program it's X% of whatever is left to download during that particular session.

Still, the first time I did this the thing crashed halfway through and was insisting on re-downloading the full package, so maybe it's something they've changed recently? Or yeah, it seems to work sometimes and not others.

Really, that percentage should be based on the whole program.

It seems to be much better in Hardcore. There's still a lot of "do you even lift brah" jokes etc, but it's not as bad as Default.
