This game looks pretty sweet, quite a bit like diablo but with a sort of mmo aspect to it. best part is it'll be free to play. Sign up for beta now gogogogo!

I actually met one of the guys developing this because of MtG ;0 he put me onto it and the graphics look sweet. Apparently the storyline is pretty good too so should be fun.

Looks good. But the enemies don't create an overlay with monster information? :S

It's beta, so suggest it!

If you mouse over them they do IIRC. And the bosses look like their stats stay up as long as you fight them.

READY TO ROLL OUT AS SOON AS BETA IS STARTED.

This looks awesome.

There's now an IRC where the devs and alpha testers often hang out at. Irc.freenode.net channel #pathofexile

Bonus gameplay footage


new class, the templar

Closed beta starts 8th of august, which is in a few days. I AM EXCITE

There's an IRC for this. *rushes into IRC*

I'm birdie on the irc btw. It varies in liveliness, but later at night it can be quite active.

Signed up. Templar better be just like the fucking paladin from D2.

Hell, the more I see from the game the more I can spot that it heavily burrowed diablo elements.
Things that I might miss in D3... I like their art, their environment look. The spell effects seem to be cool...

I will definitely play this game.

Like I said on their forums. Diablo 2 was a heavily successful game, very unique to other RPGs because all others MUST go with a 3d approach, when diablos top down hack and slash is rare. And because of this, why change it, when it works great for the people that like its style

We should make a sen path of exile clan ;3

Oh yeah, I should mention the lead dev, chris, has told me I'm guaranteed a position in close beta now I just need to get an awesome computer to run it on top settings.

why burn ;D?

Get out. You and your ;D

If I get into closed beta, I can only play it on my laptop. :S

Tell him that I'ma pro beta tester and 3D Gfx specialist looking for work. I'm on the testing team for Terraria also.
Get me on the betar.

Do you honestly need work? Cuz http://www.grindinggear.com/?page=careers
But I don't know if you can animate well. However, I know they're planning on expanding their staff after release so they can add more content, they will need more artists then. I'm considering applying at that stage if my skills are good enough.

Well I'm getting an internship at rockstar north but it's likely to be unpaid, kettle-boiling duties. Wouldn't mind jumping onto an indie bandwagon and creating assets, since it's pretty much what I do. Put in a word for me for beta testing / development consultation though. I'm pro at that.
