Still playing Path to Exile.......
Few things i don't like:
- Inventory space is small, really forces you to pick up things you deffo need.
- Quest tracker/direction, or lack of but understandable if they want players to explore.
- Some end bosses can be a real pain.
Some things i feel is a good touch:
- If you die on a end boss fight you can come back and his health is pretty much the same so it's not a case of starting over again.
- Loot system, complicated yes, reminds me of TD2 on release, requires certain amount of stats for gems to work.
- Feeling tough with progression.
I could go on, there is a lot of things i don't like but the stuff i do like outweighs it.......But hey, who am i to complain....it's for FREE and i'm having fun again.

My suggestion is to wait for a sale on their QoL items in the cash shop. Larger stash space, specialized loot tabs, etc.
You really want to Google loot filters for Path of Exile. It will help you a lot with managing inventory out in the field. You really only want to be picking up stuff that's worthwhile.
Got no problem with the game inventory, just the charactor inventory.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
One thing that confuses me, judging by the size of skill tree i would of thought they would of made it in a way that it can be reset, i know through the playthrough you can get some reset skill points and refunds but if any game needed more options to reset it's this one.........i would have less chance of getting lost in Milton Keynes roundabout system
Good shout for the google/inventory management, will give that a look today.
Loot filters cuts down on how much space gets taken up in your backpacks while out in the field. It's intentionally small. But outside of mapping(endgame activity) you can portal back to town an unlimited number of times as long as you have portal scrolls.Originally Posted by Riflemania Go to original post
And for resetting your talent tree, you're supposed to carefully consider your build. There is a trade recipe for orbs of scouring, but it's likewise intentionally cost-intensive. This is why I said earlier on that you REALLY should use a pre-made build set up and planned out by the math-wizards. Otherwise you'll waste a LOT of hours backtracking and figuring things out. And it's REALLY REALLY not worth the headache.
Take it from someone who's been there and done that.
Huh. It must have been disliked if it's on sale now for less than the older Wildlands ($9 vs. $15). I'd gone for Wildlands, but Breakpoint is cheap enough that it seems worth taking a risk on the standard edition of that, too.Originally Posted by Virtual-Chris Go to original post
Well, it depends on what particular features you like of the games that are put in the "looter shooter" category. For me looting itself is not terribly interesting; what I like about Division 2 is building out loadouts from a wide variety of items. From that poitn of view, the loot mechanic is just a way of dribbling out the items over time.Originally Posted by Virtual-Chris Go to original post
Yeah, that would be nice. It's the one thing I miss in Division 2.Originally Posted by xJdKxZomBiE Go to original post
That "figuring things out" bit is one of the most enjoyable parts of games for me, though. I spend far more time in Division 2 mucking about with builds and experimenting than I do actually just running around and shooting things.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
Division 2 is a child's sandbox compared to the ocean beach of POE.Originally Posted by CategoryTheory Go to original post
So much so i'm on the brink of insanity, the game should come with a warning............Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
Possible side effects:
Loss of hair
Memory loss
Eye twitches
Outburts of anger
Frustration
Still fun though![]()
Well i be dammed, i think this is the first game ever where i have created a new class from scratch and started over again, got my Ranger upto 75 and completed the game, now i have created a Marauder.......
Only difference is i now have a lot more knowledge about the game.... but jeez this is one hell of an in depth game.
My Marauder is kicking some serious butt
YES YES YES: https://gamingbolt.com/path-of-exile...4-and-xbox-one
Has a lot of potential, but I doubt the devs really care. It's good if you want to take a break from TD2 for a while, but don't expect to much from it. Balancing issues (both difficulty & economy), bugs, etc.Originally Posted by Stardust.One Go to original post
Though the "base" is good, but needs A LOT of work if they want to compete with TD tbh.

I agree with the sentiment, this game has ruined gaming for me. I won't be saying it's cause the game is too good. Currently the future of games may be glum, I feel it will be getting better once companies get past the whole COVID setback. I have been revisiting game I haven't played in a while. Maybe you should check out the library and kick the dust off some of the really old games.
