@Maha

 

well the league season is ending soon,  invasion and ambush, 

 

its pretty in-depth, the depth of customization is high, 

 

if you are the fan of Diablo 2 graphic and gore, PoE would be their wild child =]

 

 

 

In simple terms, unlike most other games, PoE do not have a rigid skill structure, you actually have to hunt and kill mobs to find the skill you want to learn.

 

and with such skill gems (which they call) you can equip them to your armour ( from helm to weapon to shield) where you can then cast them. Some skill gems cant function by itself, example if you have a skill gem call fire ball, if you socket it with a skill gem multiple projectile, you would be able to send up multiple fireballs.

 

 

the dept of where all customization comes is due to its passive tree. 

 

which is this. http://www.pathofexi...sive-skill-tree

 

in which all your skills and how you would like to build your character stems from there.. where there are major nodes in the passive tree that creates new builds to play around with

 

 

Currency and weapon upgrades

 

unlike other games, path of exile does not use gold, instead you pick up items like choas orb, gem cutter prism, divine orb,

THis could be use as currency or to further make your weapon stronger

where in AARPG, white items or vanilla items will never be picked up, however here, u can actually craft great items from it.

 

 

MOBS

 

PoE mobs are similar to diablo where they have sur and pre fix abilites, some monster are extra fast, some are extra strong some cast spells

Game play

 

Path of Exile provides excellent end game and good game scaling of difficulty 

 

where you would need to complete the whole story 3 times on 3 difficulties to unlock the end game 

 

which are maps where you would find exponitally harder mosters and achieve even better and rarer weapons.

 

the aim of the end game maps which they call them is to reach the last map. (you actually have to hunt the 'maps' they drop from mobs in game and mobs in the 'maps')

 

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Map

 

the last map would be level 80 alluring abyss where the map piece could only drop from lv 78-79 maps.. which really makes the game play challenging.

 

 

 

Ladder/races

 

http://pathofexile.g...edia.com/League

 

well to keep the game fresh, leagues are introduced every few month and all the players start anew and their recent heroes would be entered in a Vault league where all the heroes from all the leagues of different time are stored

 

races are games they host that last from 1 hour - 2 weeks, where you could win attractive prizes if you manage to be the top few who leveled or killed your way up. * this challenges your game mechanics and on the go, not allowing you to actually follow cookie-cutter builds*

 

 

 

...

 

Sorry about my English. Just finished work and pretty miffed by my lab mate.

 

overall the game is good and refreshing,

 

however it is quite punishing and challenging for those who wanna create new builds themselves.

As the game does allow refunds on ure passive trees, it would be an currency. but not all builds you think would work might work

i actually have 3 heroes that could not break lv 50 due to my build

 

end up having to follow a cookie cutter build to reach lv 80.

but since then i have been able to understand the mechanics of the skill and game to play better i guess

 

Pm me if you wanna know more, but to be honest there is a bunch of hardcore PoE players in their forum that provides detailed explanation 

however if you are playing!! add me! 

[DasBear]

@Leeroy, this was pretty a good explanation! Thank you.

[Leeroy]

thanks =] well it was a pretty fun game all and all,

 

just its a niche game, never seen much casual players that got far into it. =/

 

however if you guys do play, you guys can find me

 

 

oh btw one thing i find PoE irritating, they forces you to be a human and communicate with others to trade

when you get some rare item u wanna buy or sell, you have to go to the forum and hunt for shops selling it or set up a page that is a shop to sell it

 

haggling is fun, but if you do not know prices of item, it can be a real pain..

[thefish]

@Leeroy damn u and your shiny colourful wall of text

yea its pretty good if u have tried games similar to the diablo series, its fine to start even if the season is ending.

i started when it was ending and i had tons of fun.

and yea the trading is a pain in the ass, i just avoided it all together lolz

[Maha]

I wish I owned diablo 3

[thefish]

[Haliax]

Sure I've played it, I have some nice MTX too!

[68apples]

I love this game! I stopped playing because of annoying desync crashes, though. But the passive skill tree and the cool active "skill gem" system is REALLY fun.
