so easy to impress you guys :) some more stuff from D2,D3,Titan Quest and Grim Dawn... at least one helpfull thing - search function for the stash, no news like we reduced desync or created a new trading system, so sad...

This look really nice, I wasn't expecting the introduction of a new master. The stash search is a really nice QoL addition too. Regarding the challenge leagues, I'm not sure about how Torment works. There are spirits who drop their treasure when killed but flee when you encounter them and empower the other mobs. So the idea is that you can kill the spirit but if you do, the other mobs won't loot as much? Am I right or did I completely missed the point? Anyway, the 2 new leagues sounds much more exciting then rampage.	Posted by Porcoflic on Nov 27, 2014, 5:14:21 AM Quote this Post
I did not plan to play Leagues ... You are ruining my plans! PvP Master? PvP crafting Options? May this be the first game that sees me PvPing? A "minor" patch ... you guys are GGGrazy Templar Skilltree looks intersting .. will my witch go there instead of Shadow? TREE HYPE! Forums are SOOO much fun on patch day! Casuals play because it's fun, not to achieve any goal unreachable with their resources. We are playing for the next difficulty, the next keystone, the next item upgrade. Not to feel better than anyone else. Last edited by Fhedaykin on Nov 27, 2014, 5:17:41 AM	Posted by Fhedaykin on Nov 27, 2014, 5:14:46 AM Quote this Post
Bloodline leagues looks really sick. Those aoe lines are going to be brutal though. Can't wait to lose a character. Also new skills HYPE!!!!!!	Posted by tetryon88 on Nov 27, 2014, 5:15:07 AM Quote this Post
Well done GGG! The support you are providing for this game is outstanding. I will be playing and supporting for a long time to come, and 1.3.0 has ensured that Path of Exile will be competing for my holiday gaming time with the likes of Dragon Age and Smash Bros. Keep up the phenomenal work.	Posted by IveGoneHollow on Nov 27, 2014, 5:18:33 AM Quote this Post

The uniques I know nothing of, unless GGG hasn't teased any yet. Probably won't affect my summoner builds though. No Summoner gems this time :( At least we can hope for that support gem to effect Minions, but it is highly unlikely. Also, hoping for some new Uniques for a Summoner, maybe something top tier would be refreshing (like Conduit effect minions), and not lvl 23 items again. But I guess we will be lucky if we get a shield that can be used with Necromantic Aegis. https://www.youtube.com/user/DaidelosGaming/featured	Posted by Daidelos on Nov 27, 2014, 5:22:36 AM Quote this Post
