All info here, hopefully this game plays well because I really like everything I’ve seen so far, reminds me of Diablo 1 and 2 mixed together with modern tech

here’s some videos of it btw:

I’m downloading the game assets right now. I missed the last open weekend, let’s see how this one goes.

#3

Hi, i have an unused beta key, just send me a PM. (UPDATE: It’s taken)

#4

i didnt want to wait so I got a beta key yesterday… man, game is incredible, been playing for 14 hours straight… they just need to improve some usability aspects of UI

#5

So… when is the public weekend open? Because I registered my account, and when I try to play the game it says my account is not registered with the game. I’m in Eastern Standard Time, btw.

#6

theres a countdown on https://www.pathofexile.com/
43 min left as of now

#7

I might be retarded. Totally missed that giant thing.

#8

Been playing as the duelist for a little bit. I don’t quite get it yet, but I’m enjoying it so far. It’s very dark and diablo like, and enemies can kill you quickly right from the start

#9

Man this is what diablo 3 should have been

#10

I’m enjoying it quite a fair bit. The character animations aren’t as smooth as Diablo 3 but the overall experience is quite fun and difficult

The 2D artwork reminds me heavily of diablo

#11

4 gig of goodness…

#12

Fuck, my friend has a sound card that seems to be causing a conflict with OpenAL and preventing the game from loading - but i can’t find ANYTHING about the error on the internet - the most I’ve found is 9 results on google

#13

Aaargh, my hdd where I downloaded this game has gone to hell, have to re-download it now , don’t want too wait anymore :frowning:

#14

Been enjoying it so much me and a friend both payed to get a closed beta key

#15

I don’t find this game entertaining. At least diablo 3 has nice looking fights. This looks like diablo 2 with slightly better graphics and worse (is there any?) story. Not even trolling. Feel free to prove me wrong though.

#16

Agree. The fights were disappointing, after playing Diablo 3 (Beta). D3 has an amazing combat system with great feedback. This, is just, too normal.

Though, the graphics are very nice and it looks very professional, for a F2P game.

#17

My internet connection dying prevented me from playing this.

Fuck.

#18

I didn’t know it was F2P. So yeah, I agree.

#19

I personally didn’t find anything special about combat in Diablo 3 either, but to each his own
