I don't think my strategy of running into the middle of groups of monsters and spamming my AoE fire rain spell was very effective. I didn't pick up like any armor either because I was rushing to catch up to you guys in the first place. :X

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #194 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:25:11 PM »

I've been taking a break from my main character to focus on HC mode. So far I got my Lightning Arrow bow Marauder to Act II. Really only had one close call against some heavy lightning damage enemies (in the shipyard); I didn't have any problems against the Act I boss.

Barring getting blasted heavy by RNG elemental dmg, I don't see this character dying on anything before Vaal; obviously I could be very wrong but so far it's a pretty fucking good build.

Lots of health and dps is largely dependent on your weapon; so far I haven't found a truly great bow/quiver. Definitely need more mana at this point but I'll probably go with a blood magic support gem asap. I've got life gain supported Rain Of Arrows and it works beautifully

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #195 on:** February 27, 2013, 06:27:35 PM »

You played ahead in HC mode??? JERK.

You want to try the 4 hr race tonight or no?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #196 on:** February 27, 2013, 08:08:25 PM »

...aaaaaand my HC Marauder is no more

I keep fucking forgetting that I need cold resist rings once I get to Merveil, man.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #197 on:** February 27, 2013, 09:54:13 PM »

Yea, I struggled with cold resist. It's easier to find fire and lightning resist imo

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #198 on:** February 27, 2013, 11:55:05 PM »

FUCKING SHIT

So, I was taking the opportunity of the 4 hr race to try and level another marauder up in HC, and SAME FUCKING PLACE I get killed again, even though this time I have a cold resist ring AND a flask that dispels chilled/frozen.

Fuck it. I'm done with HC melee characters. What's a good link to a wand templar build?

It's completely dependent on your build and how well you've optimized everything. From what I've played so far (every class except the Templar) I'd say that the best class is Ranger... just take poison arrow for early game, build to lightning arrow for late game.

The best thing you can do in this game is have an idea of where you want to go... the worst thing is to just level and dump points into passive slots without a plan. Even if your plan doesn't work out, at least you learned how NOT to do something. Levelling and spending passive points without a plan, you're never going to figure anything out. Waste of time.

PD and I play a bit, and we've played a couple times with FatalT. Adding people is weird, you have to add a character name and that will friend request their main account... the social aspects in the game could use some work, but HEY IT'S FREE so there's that.

You can add me- Excretia is my ranger's character name. PD's main character's name is Goinio I think.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #205 on:** February 28, 2013, 02:15:40 AM »

Started the race two hours late, went with a GS Maurader and finished Act I at lv15 (#636); multiple close calls on last boss but I got a life on hit support gem with Leap Slam, shit was awesome. Holy shit, I bet I could have gotten to Act III if I could have started the race on time.

Melee is for closers

Quote from: etiolate on February 28, 2013, 12:22:02 AM

IMO it's less about level and more about weapon. Once you get a weapon with decent speed, and some nice gems to spice things up, the game really takes off. Given how sluggish the game can be, I wish the developers would eliminate most slow weapons from the game. People start out with a 1.1 attack-per-second weapon, get turned off, and quit shortly after. Once you get around lv12 you should have a couple decent items and gems. At its best it can look like this

The early game can be slow, but I'd say watch some videos, read the forums, and get to lv12 or so

Momo · « **Reply #206 on:** February 28, 2013, 02:54:46 AM »

Ok, so I've had my greatest HC success so far with a Lightning Strike Templar build... I'm at level 20 or so in early Act 2.

Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone logged in from a location that you don't typically play from - "Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China".

To play again, you'll need to type or paste the following access code into the game client after logging in:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you didn't just log in from a new location, then someone else has your account password! You should change it immediately which can be done on our website.

If you have any problems with this process, please contact customer support by replying to this email.

Are you shitting me? Some Chinese dude is trying to steal my free to play account?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #216 on:** March 03, 2013, 12:51:47 AM »

Ha, same thing happened to PD earlier

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #217 on:** March 03, 2013, 01:04:28 AM »

Yup it happened while I was in game. I was stuck in a loading screen and decided to exit the game; when I tried to re-enter it told me someone from China was trying to log in. They send the lock code to whatever email you used to sign up so it's very easy to unlock.

I'm going to change my password soon. I like how quick/easy it is to deal with tbh. You don't have to buy an authenticator or deal with customer service. That being said Blizzard has great customer service, not knocking them; my WoW character got stolen once and they handled it very quickly without me losing gear

------

Anyway me and Creepy Old Guy did some heavy lifting in HC. Knocked out a lot of Act II very quickly, pretty fun; I really like how the portal system works. I do hope they make in-game maps more helpful/decent looking in the future. A cursor should tell you the general direction someone is at if they aren't in range...like most modern games with maps

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #218 on:** March 03, 2013, 02:15:30 AM »

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #224 on:** March 06, 2013, 09:48:17 PM »

I haven't played my main SC character lately. Not bored per se - I've been using Leap Slam and holy shit it's amazing. But moreso because I accidentally overprepared for Merciless. I'm lv48 in lv43 content right now, and so my xp gain is low and I'm just owning shit left and right.

All my HC characters are still alive. I want to get them all around the same level so that if I lose one, I have another to replace it. What lv are you, Triumph?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #225 on:** March 06, 2013, 09:51:42 PM »

I have 3 HC characters I'm working on... a lv 34 Templar at the end of Act 3 normal, a lv 26 Ranger close to the end of Act 2, and a lv 12 Shadow that I just beat Brutus with. The LS templar is so OP right now... tank shit like it's nothing. Probably another 10 skill points or so before I spec into Blood Magic.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #226 on:** March 06, 2013, 10:49:25 PM »

Got my HC lightning bow Maurader to lv29 right before reaching the top of the Act II pyramid...immediately signed off lol. I don't even want to tempt myself. Sure I could probably beat Vaal, my resists are super high and I've taken all the armor/life nodes I could find...but don't want to take a chance. I'll get a couple more levels down before trying lol

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #227 on:** March 06, 2013, 11:01:36 PM »

I could carry with my Templar. He doesn't fuck around.

Got my Shadow to lv 19 and then he got his ass pwned by a bunch of flicker strike spiders $:-\$

I've gone about leveling my Ranger instead, and I almost lost her at the beginning of act 3 when I ran into a unique monster that tossed traps... I got snared and was getting gang banged by a bunch of trash mobs, still not sure how I didn't die... I popped all my potions and I swear at one point I didn't see ANY life left in my globe. That's some shit.

Being a dumbass I didn't get Resolute Technique for my GS Marauder until today (lv49). It greatly improved my dps. Now I'm going to move up to the Templar side of the tree and take more armor/life

Finally beat the game on HC... never bothered to beat it with any of my SC characters. I've been fucking around with a LS sword-duelist build that has some good potential I think. I housed Piety at the end there, pretty dope.

The game definitely has potential, and it scratches my "min/max and fuck around with different things" itch way better than D3 at this point.

Rest of Act III will be released in about a month

Quote

We've just deployed the 0.11.5c patch to fix some issues found in Friday's 0.11.5 patch. Work on 0.11.6 started today, which is a patch being produced mostly by Rory. He has spearheaded some new trap skills (which are looking pretty awesome). We're still six weeks out from deploying 1.0.0, but here's the smallest possible teaser I can get away with posting.

(Image removed from quote.)

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/518709/page/1#p4628218

Haven't played much in ages but I'm definitely returning for that. Sounds like a new class is coming soon too.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #236 on:** October 04, 2013, 10:01:35 PM »

Full PoE release on October 23rd

Some summary:
- New class: Scion, starts at the center of the tree and must be in game to unlocked first
- Two new 4 months Leagues:
Nemesis: Hardcore League - rare monsters has additional unique abilities [explode on death, bounce back Your projectiles etc]
Domination: non HC leagues - introduces Shrines, Shrines have big pack of very hard monsters around them and Shrines benefits monsters, but You can capture a Shrine and get its effect by clicking on it - examples: Freezing ground, Always Crit
- Full Guilds support
- Steam integration
- Two new PVP modes:
Tournament mode: Hour long PvP tournaments will be on in which players will have to rack up wins through a set system or mode. The more wins you get in the hour, the better your chance of coming out on top with prizes.
Capture the flag: Players will have to force their way into the enemy’s base as teams of five or six (final testing pending). Based around Act 2 bandits camps.

- Act 3 Extension
- New skills [3 confirmed by now]:
Spectral Throw - throw a copy of Your weapon
Animate Guardian - reanimate equipment from the ground to create a minion (all items stats apply to minion!)
Animate Weapons - animate weapons from the ground, for example You can get 4-5 spectres that follows You and fight for You
- Trigger Gems - new type of support gems that triggers other skills on kill/hit/stun etc.
For example You have Have Cleave and every time You kill enemy with it, You have % chance to proc skill that is linked to Cleave, for example Fireball, of course all skills are affected by normal Support gems. Or You have on stun trigger gem linked to Enduring Cry, every time You're stunned You get % to cast Enduring Cry!
- New Keystone Passive: Mana Shield - 30% damage taken is taken first from Mana pool
- Tons of new enemies and their skills, for example one monster has Shield Bubble and You can damage it only within Bubble or from spawned on the ground circles

Later patch: Complete overhaul of trading (watch the Gamespot video for more info)

Holy shit @ everything. I've been waiting for Steam, it'll definitely make the social aspect better. PVP actually sounds amazing, and really fixes the issue of dealing with overpowered characters destroying everyone. You get a mode for 1v1 annihilation, and a team mode with more diverse gameplay (I'll be tanking!).
