What Games Are You Playing Currently?

The max level is 50, but to get from 17 to 18 you have to spend at least four hours solid grinding in the same areas, which gets boring very quick. I don't mind grinding but as long as the gameplay is fun and the rewards are worth it.

The spells/skills in Mythos are simplistic and you pretty much only use one skill + the passives.

The items are randomly generated which I like, but they just fail in this department, "rares" drop like no tomorrow same with "uniques" which are supposidly the "most rare" and have stats like +2 dex, +2 str, +2 vitality, +2% movement speed. All of the item rarities don't seem any different from one another

I also don't like how your character looks, everyone and every item seemes to look the same and the end game items are pretty much the same just with just a glow around wepons which looks the same as some lvl 1 items with +fire dmg. I dunno I just don't like the whole feel of the game. Dissaponting tho as I've been looking for a ARPG to keep me occupied while D3, PoE, Grim Dawn comes out.

Darkspore was another dissapointment, so back to waiting! I think the only decent APRG I have played since D2 is TQ, but with no closed servers or challenge, I stopped playing after making most of the builds and getting the best items.

But you know that there was a bug in the latest beta version because they changed the xp-system at some point so that it was nearly impossible to level an old character any more? Or do you talk about the final version? Haven't played it for a long time to be honest!

I did get Mafia 2 and Just cause 2 on buying my graphic card and I have to say that Just cause 2 is quite fun!
This is not the kind of game that I like very much, but here, it was quite a good surprise, and I have already 20 hours of play!

Have you tried it with the "underlord" mod? That was something that got me to sink some more time into that game.

Rhesos, yeah that's in the final version. Might try these TQ mods. At the moment making a hardcore necromancer, seeing as I didn't try hardcore much.

recently i had some fun playing a little browser game called Die 2 Nite :)

its not a full time game, but u can waste some time on it each day till we finally get our hands on PoE :)

I actually hate this. I feel that while Chris somewhere explained the logic for not having more than a few item tiers, in reality a good system has *many* tiers... in POE they will probably be invisible tiers though.

The fact that in some games 'normal' items actually run out of flavor very quickly and they push you to the point where every item is magic/rare makes them not so magic and not so rare :P and it's sorta an obnoxious mechanism. Really what they should be called is Starting Crap/ Common / Slightly Less Common.

I hope POE in actuality has quite a few tiers within Normal and quite a few tiers within the others as well to break away from this habit in games.

Well they will remember socket arrangement is a big factor to. If i had to choose between +10 armor i might forgo that benefit in order to have a stronger attack. I think that in itself will add more variety to the builds. Along with the fact that GGG want to make a departure from the norm and make their unique items a class of their own.

Drakensang online - not bad beta
mythos - could be beter
darkspore - could be beter
