Do you people play this as a multiplayer game? Laughing I even forgot it is that, well apart from the times I got disconnected, hehe. It feels so much better when playing alone. It's quite a similar experience to that of playing the first Diablo. If anything, that would be my only "complaint" about this game. I wish it would have been a proper singleplayer game with some slapped on multiplayer mode so people wouldn't whine, but I understand that could never happen since they wouldn't survive in today's market and it also makes part of what happens between the curtains with the game easier (instances is an example).

I like that it's structured that way. Thanks to that even if you play solo you know that you are a part of bigger community and I like the feeling of that Smile Also, try playing in group, it's really fun but I would suggest partying with reliable people with whom you can set some rules regarding loot...

This game is all about competition, ladders etc so it wouldnt make any sense to make it a singeplayer game. Its the way of the future and something I like, that theres no real defining line between single and multiplayer. You choose how you want to play, but both options are open to you. Sure its very annyoing that the servers keep crashing but thats something that can only improve. The game is also in beta eventhough the devs have said they dont really want to push it to final release.
Theres also the loot factor where you can boast your gear and show off to people which I personally like.

It just doesn't interest me, mate. I have who to play this with if I want to. But that's the thing, I don't want to. I don't play games like this like other do either (and by that I mostly mean: A LOT!). I play them like any other games. I might do a replay soon after I finish them, but it's very likely that I won't do even that and I'll let them rest until I feel like playing again. I'm also not interested about what Acer mentioned, stuff like showing off to other people. Even though it's a multiplayer game, to me it's still a singleplayer game with some multiplayer mode that I don't give a shit about. Why I would have liked this to be a proper singleplayer game (and again, I respect GGG's decision of not making it one because it does bring some goods with it too and they do need to survive as a company) is because it would have run without internet and it would have got rid of any issues like lag and such. Again, it doesn't bother me that much, I was just saying. And I do know the status and history of the game/company, don't worry. I've probably been the first around here to get into beta (been in CB since day one). Also, my previous post wasn't really a question. I was just kind of surprised since I really kind of forget this is a multiplayer game. That's how much this feels like a singleplayer game to me. Smile

I have one question, will the characters get reset in the future?
Or can one start playing already and have fun?
Because i played it a bit some months ago, and logged back in yesterday. And noticed my character was level 1 again.

Nope, there will be no more character wipes.

try something like this http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAnEEsw48FCAUTRRxGS4aOCftKS4yCTKJOlI9_EGqUEdQUFWpVgRX4lhjWfNfP2CIYVJyqXflfLh82YZgjAaMz5BVl7SiAKSspzCnhKlorKqsurndwBrG2NSP3sHfv-St7DjvDvIv9kj3Mve--Os=

get a added fire dmg support gem and a weapon elemtal dmg support gem on your main attack and you will do a lot more damage then with simple +% phys dmg skill nodes and you will have more life from the templar life nodes wich are great btw

anyone has a proper duelist build or guide?
I would prefer to use 2 swords with uberfast attacks and perhaps some life regen stuff or I will most likely get owned.
atm I am clueless where to start or search, so much to choose from in the talent tree and gems.

Don't feel like even starting before I know how my char has to be build properly from the start.

It only damages the totem, which is one of the reasons totem builds are extremely OP.

Quite sad to see so many people using guides for the characters instead of trying to make them all by themselves. Where's the fun in using a guide for this game? I'm not trying to offend anyone if my post seems like that. I'm actually really curious... it's not that much harder to do a character than it is in other games of this type.

way to easy to screw up with that tree, and noone likes to hit a brick wall in merciless and reroll a new char. but i doubt you get to merciless with a crap build.

I see both sides. Personally I love having the option, but I also see how some people simply don't have the time to 'make their own' build. And though you can always start over, there is something good about at least having your primary character manage to reach the end-game to support your alts.

Yea it's really sad, people this day and age have no patience or brain to even try to make their own builds.

well, from my part, when i started beta, i did not have the patience to learn about that huge ass skill tree, and make spreadsheet and see the optimal routes. i dint even know if i like the game. i just want to start play, and not suck. so the easy way is to head to forum, and look for a build.

after that, i used http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/19723/page/1 to help me choose and optimize stuff. to bad is not updated for ob.

but still, for a new player, that skill tree is not really intuitive. is scary.
you don't know nothing about gear, gems, how skill works, for example crit nodes affect only physical or spell to and so. how can you think you can make a build okish ? because you have no chance in hell. not without reading a lot of stuff.

I don't play PoE, but from the little I did I didn't have fun allocating points to such passive and boring skills like +10 dex. Another thing is you basically need to plan the build before playing, which isn't really fun either if you even don't know how stuff works.I like trying out builds on the fly, but PoE does not allow that "exploration" either as far as I know there's really no easy way to reset all skill points, only roll back some changes through respec points.

So I definitely get why people just look up stuff on the forums.

Unfortunately, i can't proceed any further at the moment. Need to wait for devs to patch the crash bugs.

Im in Act 3 and every time i go to Marketplace area (from the Sewers or from Warehouses area) game crashes.

I cant go any other way to proceed further into the game because quests leads directly through one of two portals (and both of them crash the game) so the only thing i can do it is to farm mobs in areas i can access while waiting for the fix.

P.S. Does anyone wear rings/necklace to boost drop chance of rare items?

Other games just hide those boring +10dex points in their little tree. Mostly those are these 0/3 nodes on the way to the ultimate skill of a specific tree. And why exactly is it a bad thing that you actually have to know how stuff works? It's a bit over the top, but you can't expect to play your first char and it'll be perfect. On the other hand the 2nd or 3rd char won't take too long to level. 3-5 hours and you are on a good way to be lvl 30 or even a higher level.
