[Megathread] Path of Exile

[Fencers]

My children have abandoned the cause. I am in this alone as I move room to room spamming LOGIN.

I will not stop.

We're back!

[Volatilis]

got 5mins of play time at least!

[-aiko-]

Noooooooooooooo! I was level 3. My heart can't take much more of this xD

For what it's worth the WASD movement is fantastic

[Fencers]

Sonuvabitch! I was rolling! I skipped everything to speed run this bitch.

[Volatilis]

even the little spike throwing guys hit pretty hard if you get cocky :'D

But i got my skele / alien spawn thing from unearth lil army rocking

not that it matters theyre gonna wipe all the characters again

[Fencers]

Legit, that was probably some of the best first 6 minutes of ARPG gameplay since D2 LOD.

[-aiko-]

I started hardcore SSF and people were dropping like flies. It was pretty funny.

Totally. WASD movement felt so smooth and the minions seemed responsive. The atmosphere was spot on. Let me back in!!!

[Volatilis]

ques back up

Its simple but ive always wanted dodge, its nice to not have to devote a movement slot even though u probably will.

I still have my witch!

Hum bought a pack quite some time ago on steam, pre-downloaded it and now came back from work, try to connect and it tells me I do not have an access and need to buy one. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that their website is down in the poop hole and the auth cannot happens between steam and them hm... disappointing, hopefully its fix sooner than later

[PixelFox]

I bought Early Access on Steam today and was able to get as far as account creation earlier (though I could never actually create an account because the web site and its services are all down). Then they shut it all down because they messed up in adding database instances at the last minute and ended up with a bunch of characters getting duplicate IDs, so they had to "wipe the databases" and start over.

After they did that, I now get the "You do not have Early Access through steam." error, so I feel like they somehow managed to lose some/all of the Steam account authorization keys in the process of messing with the database(s).

Anyhow, I requested a Refund from Steam and will come back when things get straightened out or it enters general release.

[Fencers]

Click to move feels bad. It causes my hand to hurt. I dislike the skating feeling of click-to-move, but WASD requires too much dexterity (for me) to slap buttons.

[Volatilis]

Grelwood is a cool zone and only just getting started. No lag playing either just bit of load in time.

But the game play/atmosphere is great we got something special for sure

[Fencers]

A lot of monsters and effects are hard to see as well. Diablo 4 did the same thing and hated it too. A brown monster on a brown floor with a brown ground effect is awful.

If these are old lady complaints, good. I am one. I can't see what is shooting me.

- - - Updated - - -

I can't even see my minions because they are brown on brown. Come on now, GGG.

[Dezerte]

Going to bed, should have went sooner.

Likes:
Refreshing difficulty (it's harder than I expected)
Looks great

Dislikes:
Iceskating combat (using mouse movement) doesn't feel great
Skills don't always target where I click at first after I've evaded
Some effects are hard to see still, but seems better than PoE at least

Excited to continue tomorrow, itemization and loot seems interesting.

[Fencers]

Another thing, most of the old MTX doesn't work. Only the MTX from the past 8-10 months works. All my vintage skins and armors from POE1 are "unavailable".

I could really use a quicksilver flask or something. This witch moves like she is wearing lead boots.

[-aiko-]

Great so far, just a few issues:

- Picking up items seems janky...I'll often spam my left mouse ability instead of picking it up. Can maybe fix with different settings
- It seems like abilities are cast in the direction of the nearest enemy to your cursor instead of your cursor itself, dunno if intentional

[Fencers]

You start slow, but once you get rolling this is pretty fucking good.

Act 2 is kinda nasty. The difficulty curve is all over the place.

Like that guy who used Bladefall was very tough for me to kill. But my husband breezed through him as a monk.

[deenman]

man the feeling of progression in this feels awsome,got my ass handed by that worm as a warrior,came back 2 levels later with better gear and it was a cake walk

[Fencers]

I like the way Catalysts work here.

Oh shit, Zana! Time travel shenanigans.

...ah, I see. I think I understand what is going on.

[Volatilis]

Yeah my minions were getting eaten so quick but now I got arborists at least with extra projectile and area of effect increase support gems and now I'm cooking
