Path of Exile | Cheerful Ghost

Welcome to Exile

Path of Exile has been around for quite awhile. If you were in the closed beta it has been around now since 2012. If there is one thing that has always held players back from enjoying this game as a hardcore ARPG experience. It is that of desync.

Desync is when the information you send to the server is not the same as the information your client is reading. So you may walk around a rock to the left on your screen. The server says you walked around it to the right. Now you teleport back to before the rock so that the server can re-sync you to the information the server had on your last known location.

Well I recently received a beta key to their newest and biggest... Read All

Path of Exile released!

The Action RPG Path of Exile released on Steam today, and you can play it for free!

Many people compare this favorably to Diablo 3, saying it's the sequel Diablo 2 deserved. Others think it's clunky and awkward. But for $0.00 you can bet I'll be trying it out. I love the aRPG genre and any new contender is welcome.

The public beta begins tomorrow and it looks like something worth checking out. It seems to be the answer to the question "What would happen if you let a bunch of huge Diablo 2 fans make Diablo 3." Oh, and its Free-to-Play... so why not try it?

I got the email, not sure ill have time to check it out. Let me know how it plays when you try it though, really interested in this one.

I'm just starting to wonder if the world needs another Diablo-like game. Though this may prove me wrong.

Well, perhaps not but this one is free to play which does open it up to certain players that might not have been able to get Torchlight 2 or Diablo 3.

Plus it being F2P means I will try it out for sure. And you know, the free to play model kind of works for a game like this.

As long as it isn't pay to win.

Would be nice to see Mac/Linux support, but I get why that can tricky while also moving through beta. I have a friend who I used to play D2 with quite a bit that now a days refuse to devote this sort of hardware to Windoze.

Given that I was just playing D3 this morning (ah the joys of being unemployed :) ) I'll probably check this out on my spare system.

This game is really interesting. Its kind of like Diablo with a Greek aesthetic. UI is a bit hard to navigate at times, but its an interesting game for sure.

I spent an hour at it Thursday morning. Definitely beta, but intriguing. The skill system looks to have many more possibilities.
