Just recently started looking into this, it looks like it could be quite fun. Apparently it goes into open beta in June.

"The crowd-funding presales mean Path of Exile will enter Open Beta in June with three acts of content."

...

Any one got a spare beta key?

Yepp, it's an awesome Action-RPG alternative.

 

I probably lost more than 20 characters on HC already. The game is pure fun and is getting constatly updated by the devs, which are absolutely bro-tier.

 

And sorry, got no beta-key. But I can assure you that this game IS MORE WORTH than just 5€!

Question to dongding or anyone who has played the game, which of the melee classes do you recommend to play as a "standard fighter?" Which is what I usually like to do, just use a sword and shield/two handed sword and medium/heavy armor. I am not just looking for stats and skills, I would also like your recommendation based on the "feel" of the character. Which one feels more like a fighter?

 

Another thing, you can dig around in the forum and eventually find conformation on this, but you would think that they would have it posted officially somewhere as to how exactly you get your beta invite. They have the timer set up, but they don't tell you what happens when your name pops up. Would it be that difficult to put in the FAQ "When your name comes up, you will automatically be emailed?"

The cool thing about PoE is that every class can play anything, but if you want to go for a pure and strong fighter, I'd recommend to play a Marauder since he has earlier access to stun, 1h & 2h weapon, shield, life and armor boost (elite) passive skills.

 

There is also a Duellist class which is a combination of Dexterity + Strenght, which means: Earlier access to Sword, Axe, Parry, Dual Wield and life boost (elite) passive skills.

 

Nevertheless, both of them feel pretty awesome to play with.

A pm with your beta code will be sent to your account inbox (and you'll also get a notitication, sent to your email address which you combined with your PoE account).

Hahaha, this post for the win!

I'm hooked on the damn invite timer. It's like a car accident' date=' I CAN'T STOP LOOKING!

 

If the game is half as good as the invite timer it will be epic.[/quote']

 

@dongding: Thanks for the class recommendations.

So I bought a beta key. Freaking AWESOME GAME! Currently going strength/int Templar, with crowd control spells and melee against singular powerful foes. Though it is really weird that the Templar is left handed.

Something of a necrobump, but just stumbled on this.

 

Can anyone who has played it for a while tell me how the 'adult' rp is? I imagine it has some.
