I asked Minsc to. The old title said "Path of Exile (F2P Diablo clone) closed beta starts today."
'Today' was referring to 11 months ago and after Diablo 3 I don't want the game associated as a Diablo clone lol. Also calling something a clone has negative connotations as it implies its a knockoff.
Awesome, thanks Gez. Completely agree with the Diablo clone thing, really it's only the same kind of genre, they both do thing pretty differently.
QisTopTier: I've played Torchlight 2 a bit, but only through the first chapter(?) beta, and honestly I wouldn't be able to decide. Torchlight 2 has a lot of fun aspects to it, like cannons, the pet, the inventory management, the loot is awesome, it's reasonably fast-paced.
This is a bit more 'hardcore' I guess, things can get hectic in instances, and it can really punish you at times, but it's really fun and rewarding to push through the challenges it puts forward. But as a few people have stated, the RNG can be a bit harsh with the stat gambling currency items.
Anyone up for discussions about builds with the new passive tree? Like I said a bit further up I can only really see a few builds that vary from what you'd expect of a class that might work now. What builds are people thinking of going with or are currently going with for the new tree?
