imagePath of Exile - The Fall of Oriath Expansion Preview - MMORPG.com

Four years ago Path of Exile launched hoping to do justice to its spiritual ancestor Diablo II, and hoping to enjoy a similar kind of success. Today, with numbers rising (a million players signed on in December alone) the Indie RPG is on track to achieve that ambition. Building on last year's momentum, this summer Path of Exile launches for Xbox One and releases its biggest expansion yet—The Fall of Oriath.

    Quite liking the idea of removing cruel and merciless and adding these acts instead for leveling purposes.
    Looking forward to this.

    GGG puts Blizzard and Gazillion (marvel heroes) to shame really.

    I am constantly impressed with PoE. It just keeps getting better.

    I've always said PoE is the best ARPG on the market today.

    still the old free respec every 4 months/ using regret orbs.

    After I played D3 on PS4 realized this genre is much more fun with a controller. Any plans regarding consoles or controller support?

    Blizzard, start learning.
  • MykellMykell Member UncommonPosts: 780
    This is how you grow a game. They must be putting in a lot of work to get this done.

    Also improving a game without breaking it seems rare in games atm.

    I really love POE, but the dsync and lag issues are still there (Although they certainly fixed a lot of it). Anyone who actually participated in the breach league will know what I'm talking about. I remember completely skipping certain rifts because they would dysnc the hell out of my character. I know it wasn't just me either, because every group I joined said "No rifts!" (especially the ice one). I watched multiple streamers die to these rifts and dysncs with video proof.

    I really want to love this game, but can't play it because of this glaring issue.

    Part of my life revolves around this game's leagues start already. Now I even booked by vacations to june/july to match the new acts realease. What am I doing?

    still the old free respec every 4 months/ using regret orbs. 



    And that's one of the reasons I walked away - I need to be able to respec easily to try out completely different builds as I want.





    There is always D3 for the effortless gratification.

    And nothing wrong with that - being able to respec as you get different armor sets is nice.

    I don't see why this would be negative for PoE. Would this one change completely ruin the game?
    Half of their game is theory crafting itself, so I can't see this permanent-esque skill system will be gone.

    You are not the first who asked such thing, but most of PoE player base disliking the implementation of full skill reset.

    Google it, you can find various reasons easily. I'm not sure I can fully understand (and explain to you) their design of skill reset system either.



    When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.

    I talked to a few people about this topic. PoE would lose the "diablo 2" soul if they added easily accesible respec options.
    if you have an idea about a new build, you will try it out and put many hours in an alt to find out if it's either good or crap.

    You will be told that this is knowledge you need to find out the hard way.

     

    Adding easily accesible respecs would also lead to fotm classes more easily (quicker ??). And since it takes a long time to level an alt for a fotm build

    you would think about trying a fotm build twice before trying it.. ?

     

    I think the skill system is awesome but i don’t have so much time to learn it the „hard way“. I would love to see an easier respec option too.

    Without it new players are either forced to use a build someone else made on the internet (which absoluetly kills the awesome skill system IMO) or gimp themselves to the oblivion and back

    for the first 3 chars, which they will find out after first playthrough.

     

    +1 for easier accesible respec option…
