Leaves leave shadows so it's gud
better watch out for iq drop watching this.

Anyone interested in Path of Exile 2 should be paying attention to the new league in PoE1. A lot of the same systems are being implemented for testing now and I can't imagine they'll be able to revert some of the changes coming in 3.25 such as NPCs mapping for you. This is opening pandora's box.

 

[Gerrard]

Literal mobile game mechanics BTW.

 

[abija]

Just because mobile games took that mechanic and abuse it because it's one of the few that fit the medium doesn't mean you can't use it in normal games anymore.

 

[ArchAngel]

NPCs mapping for you is a gimick that will not survive long term because GGG would just be shooting themselves into the foot.

Literal mobile game mechanics BTW.

It existed before, in NWN2 SoZ (and to some extent in the original campaign) you could build your castle, send the mercs on (suicidal) missions, trade and do other things that are present in 3.25

There's just no way the AFK map running is going to be good.

It is not a replacement, but an addition. You put in maps you are not interested in running or are too hard for your build and you get free loot from it. But like other mechanics, it will boost the currency gain by a lot and as a result boom the prices into heaven.

Sometimes even I roll 20 and get a T0 unique:



Initially i thought these mods are a cakewalk, but after i popped the map I realised that this many frenzy charges turn Sirus bosses into turbospergs with really painful damage (and I got two of them bunched up with no way to damage them afar) that can nearly one shot me (thankfully no 'send to the void' mod, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to attempt it)

Wrong topic bud

 

[Israfael]

Can mods move the post or Infinitron is only present in GD?

 

[ADL]

Closed beta invites went out. Good luck :^)

 

[Yoomazir]

Oh... they're making a twin-stick shooter, gotcha.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Oh... they're making a twin-stick shooter, gotcha.

You know... I'd actually probably enjoy that a lot. Those can be pretty fun, and their flaw is usually a lack of options and content.

Pretty sure what they're actually making is an auction house simulator though.

 

[S.torch]

what is wrong with souls games? are you too smart for them? too cool?

Is an actual RPG. Unlike the gear farming loot-gambling-pachinko machine that are Diablo clones.

Nah, it is just a dodge simulator and an action game

Too bad it's a shitty dodge simulator as soon as lag kicks in at all in this always online game.

Not only that, unless they improved the netcode playing a PvE action game that favors the server over the player is a joke.

Oh fuck me, I didnt even know that was on. It's too late to sign up now, isn't it?

Early Access in November 15th
from Gamescom now

 

[Peachcurl]

I assume that access will be granted based on buying some new supporter pack, or by begging for a key in their forum.

They said it'd be similar to 3.0 which was...
1.) Supporter pack which included some cosmetics with the beta key
2.) Lottery (begins a couple days after release I assume)
3.) Paypiggies like me that have exceeded >$500 in previous purchases

 

[ferratilis]

1.) Supporter pack which included some cosmetics with the beta key

Is it still possible to get this? I'd appreciate a link, thanks.
