And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Not from what I've noticed! It's just like it is in closed beta. You can't see rares through different rooms in closed, right?

But you can see clearly sometimes how dark shade of mob looks like and prepare for battle. D2 was much different. You could not see monsters behind wall or corner because they were not rendered. For example if you take skelton mages they simply shine in dark.

This is not something mayor but going into caves of anger with those suecide mob hiding around corners would be fun i think.

Also noticed any new loot (main loot like armors new weapon types etc not rings and flasks) ?

Found it, thanks!

Edit: And done. Man, I could theoretically buy so many character slots and stash tabs.

I don't even like this game that much, I just actively dislike Diablo 3. Weird.

I hoped that they would integrate something more than what chris said but i see they focus all their work on releasing OB.

Chris said somewhere earlier that they will introduce new gear like crossbows, polearms etc but they are now to focused on releasing OB.

Granite Flasks are now 4k armor (down from 10k). Added it into the list.

Yeah it was OP because it connected with passives. Good change too.

They were no doubt going to nerf it because constantly chaining it with zero downtime made it absolutely ridiculous. 4k is still decent though, but we won't be seeing all five potion-slots with granites now.

Sooo this was like a grudge fucking?

Anyway, looking forward to the open beta hitting; I played the closed beta a bit and it seemed interesting, I just couldn't get into it knowing my stuff would get wiped. Hopefully it turns out well.

New passives: Keystone Candidate 126 - Life Regeneration applies to Energy Shield instead of Life

Melee ES chars HERE WE GO.

Was there a "Lifesteal to ES" keystone passive?

Come on GGG I wanna start playing again. It's getting difficult to not play right now. :(

Damn it! Bad timing for moving house means that I'll be without internet for about a week after this hits open beta. I'll be so far behind everyone! ARGH

Nope, you're good. You might want to roll some lvl 1's just to reserve any names you want, but thats about it.

GGG didn't create any more official trailers than that.

GGG tweeted they have now new trailer waiting for release.

Hell yea, i've been taking a break from the game for a few months, but that will be my new home. I'm also really excited to try PvP. How balanced is it thus far?
Click to expand...

I think because of share number of possible builds nothing is certain. Kripp made few videos where odds were low for him to win but yet somewhat he managed to win at last seconds.

One thing is sure there are no currently faceroll builds but it work more like rock paper that just spam click.

Most of what was op (spell totems and lightning arrow) will get nerfed in OB.

As of lightning arrow builds i think it was just that some people found that usefull any many people fallowed that i'm pretty sure that Build of the weak characters could mop floor with most of lightning arrow builds. Especially Kripp frog sweep build which is just funny to look but at same time deadly: and malee supposed to be worse than range in PoE.

I think that the good thing about it. Theorycrafters will need a shitload of time to find those few certain builds that will be OP. And at the same time there are GGG devs which don't want those OP builds so they will do something which will make people look for their own builds.

But they've released dozens of other videos that are much more interesting since then and from quite actual build.

I blame vg247, not GGG though, its not really hard to at least post few most recent videos from GGG yt channel.

Holy shit, that's definitely more tempting than skill points.

I use to always think skill points was always worth it.

Yoshichan what weapon are you thinking/going to design for PoE?
Click to expand...

He's actually designing a unique helm that looks similar to the one below:

*PROTOTYPE*
c718d6f20863301194bdfcd193493c69.jpg

*PROTOTYPE*

It will have the special ability to devour 33% of the enemies projectiles and magical attacks with its dino tongue, and a 25% chance to spit those devoured projectiles/magic back at the user.
