    Default Path of Exile

    www.pathofexile.com

    I never heard of this game until I clicked this video.

    Its going to be F2P but still looks very high quality. Since I'd rather not fund the CEO of Activision's caviar addiction, this is very appealing to me. Now I just need a beta key.

    Also their website is fancy.

    Not much into online games, but I'm going to name my next pet Wraeclast, for sure.

    Open beta at noon PST today. I got a beta key finally last night from a forum PM (yeah, in a year and a half I was never chosen lol) and I can say it's legit. I'm definitely going to be sinking an ungodly amount of hours into this.

    I just read about the open beta test, too.

    The characters and skill tree look interesting, may have a look.

    Looks quite promising.

    This is actually a very well-made and engaging game.

    9/10 for a free game.

    8/10 in general.

    I don't see much point in the MMO aspects, though, and I can't shake a certain sense of familiarity with respect to the storyline.

    Played it a year and some months ago. It's an ARPG like Diablo 2. It h as great complexity and freedom when it comes to character builds. Any "class" is available really, as is any skill. Total freedom of how you want to develop your character. It had some balance issues (chaos inoculation, totems, lightning damage etc.) but they've been patching it regularly so I think it should be OK now.

    Watch some of Kripparian's vids to get the hang of it.
    The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
    factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
    when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
