Just a few questions

Erm...I'm quite interested with this game and would like to know a bit background info before playing (If i can ever get a beta key). I just found out about this game today (thanks to a friend). Was kind of disappointed about the part that you need to fight over for the beta key. O well either way:

1 What's the cap level of this game? And will it increase overtime?

2 Will this game have new classes available? Like will they ever create something like a Male archer?

3 Can this be played in a laptop?

4 Is it possible to choose a class like a Marauder and turn him into a range spec? He seems like a tank type so just curios if you have the choice.

5 How old is this game?

6 Are the characters custom able? Can you change the appearance of the character besides being under heavy armor?

Hello, welcome to the forums.

1) Cap is 100 currently. It might increase someday, I don't think anyone really knows that for sure though.

2) I believe they are adding a new class for the open beta, some sort of hybrid. There will probably be others released eventually but again I can't say for sure.

3) I don't see why not, the game doesn't take much to run it well.

4) Yes, the way the skill/passive tree system is set up it's possible to do something like that. Your stats might not be ideal though since you would have to take some passives you don't want to get to the good stuff.

5)Well it hasn't been released yet so not old at all lol. If you mean how long in development I have no idea. I heard it began as a few guys coding a garage though which is pretty cool.

6)All gear makes your character look different to some degree. There isn't any customization when you create your character but that might change eventually to offer different models and genders. I think there is also going to be a cash shop come release that sells cosmetic items.

People will probably will have different answers to this, but how long does it take people to download the game?

It's currently 100, but no one has gotten anywhere near that yet.

There's a 6th class not yet implemented that is dex/int aligned. Other than that, we don't have much info.

3 Can this be played in a laptop?

That depends on the laptop in question...

4 Is it possible to choose a class like a Marauder and turn him into a range spec? He seems like a tank type so just curios if you have the choice.

You can. In fact, there is a new Keystone passive called iron grip that lets you use your damage bonus from the strength attribute for bows, which makes that quite a bit easier. I've created two different types of rangers that cast spells for damage, both of which were somewhat effective.

5 How old is this game?

People have been playing the beta since 2010, I believe. I'm not sure when work officially started on the game.

6 Are the characters custom able? Can you change the appearance of the character besides being under heavy armor?

Not currently. The manifesto and various comments from the developers seem to suggest they want to save that kind of thing for their cash shop.

1. Read: http://www.pathofexile.com/faq/#q12 and yeah I guess in the future when they add more Acts, they will then increase the level.

2. Regarding the 6th final class: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/20064.
About the the different gender stuff, Grinding Gear has said it costs a lot of money and time to create new animations and character models, but that doesn't mean they won't make opposite gender models available as cash shop item in the future.

4. Errr, duh -.- that is one of the strong main point of this game...have you seriously not even heard of the basics of this game?? :( But anyway...FAQ: http://www.pathofexile.com/faq/#q5 and this one too:http://www.pathofexile.com/faq/#q11

5. Development wise, it's 2006. Source:http://grindinggear.com/

6. Yes, via cash shop. Read these:http://www.pathofexile.com/faq/#q6, http://www.pathofexile.com/faq/#q7 and http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/20092

I believe the full game is around 3Gb. GGG provides very good hosting speeds so how long it'll take you to download the game depends on how fast of a connection your ISP provides.
