Pretty sure Arc is a level 19 quest reward. I got asked this one in-game a lot over the past few days. Glad it's no longer NDA. :) Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: where shotgunning is not only not nerfed, it is deeply encouraged. Dogma > Souls, but they're masterworks all. You can't go wrong. I was right about PoE2 needing to be a separate, new game. It was really obvious.	Posted by Foreverhappychan on Oct 31, 2012, 6:09:59 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
So the surprise is only the new website layout? Or am I missing something? Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent. I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_-	Posted by Chameleon on Nov 1, 2012, 12:18:26 AM Quote this Post

In D2 you moved to another temperate zone while in PoE you move inwards on one island. Wraeclast is not an island. It's a continent, like Europe or, more accurately, Australia. The shore area where they throw prisoners is largely untamed land, previously settled (since you can see the ruins) but currently mostly abandoned except for the growing population of exiles. You gradually move inland and the climate gradually changes. As you move inland, you encounter more people. In Act 1, it's all exiles. In Act 2, it's tribals living on the outskirts of civilization. In Act 3, my guess is that the City of Sarn is basically a city full of squatters and "imperialists" that like to believe they run the place, when actually it's pretty anarchistic. I don't think Sarn is a living city. I think it's ruins that people, monsters, and beasts are inhabiting. So it makes sense why we didn't hear much about it.

It was only when I rechecked the maps that I realised how "tiny" Oriath is. So tiny!	Posted by DoubleSmiggins on Nov 1, 2012, 8:48:36 AM Quote this Post
