Path of Exile: The Free-to-Play Diablo It's good to have another article for new people to find the game but I found it very annoying to read how they call it a diablo clone every few sentences =(	Posted by DoDoBird on Jul 27, 2011, 8:45:47 PM Quote this Post

Me too. I guess the title is ok to draw the people in but he didn't have to mention it so much. RIP Bolto	Posted by Covert on Jul 27, 2011, 9:05:35 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
It's written as if Path of Exile is just a game that you'll be playing while waiting for Diablo 3. While for some people that might be the case, I don't plan on quitting Path of Exile the second I can play Diablo 3. Path of Exile offers a lot of things I know Diablo 3 won't.

I was wondering why the forum was acting up. For a one page article I felt that it was pretty fair. There's nothing there that most of the alpha testers haven't already brought up in their own previews though. Forum Sheriff	Posted by tpapp157 on Jul 27, 2011, 9:07:27 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Yeah I kinda got the idea that the author was stating that this was just something to hold people over who are waiting for D3. I don't think that is the case for the majority of the people that have been religiously following this games development.	Posted by Slob on Jul 27, 2011, 9:08:14 PM Quote this Post
I made a comment on the article "Dyer1981" is my name, trying to clarify some of the glossing over he gave. Specifically about the orb system and skill system (he didn't mention the mod gems at all unless I missed it), and I tried to push for a "this isn't a snack before D3, its a meal of itself" kind of vibe. "the premier Action RPG for hardcore gamers." -GGG Happy hunting/fishing	Posted by Wittgenstein on Jul 27, 2011, 9:10:39 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Just read your post and thought it was really good, should copy/paste it here	Posted by DoDoBird on Jul 27, 2011, 9:58:20 PM Quote this Post
