Path of Exile: The Awakening (News Coverage)

was about to throw my wallet on the monitor, until i read the beta part.

reconsidering this after reading the news on monday
i've been a rpg gamer since i was about 5 years old. i know, hardcore nerd :D really hyped for this new expansion, i saw the trailer for it like 5 times now and the hype is real! path of exile has been the most interesting rpg i have ever played, and it looks like its pulling even further away from the stereotypical rpg that we have grown accustomed to, which is something that im absolutely thrilled about! i cant wait for act 4 to come out, its looking like its going to be the best patch yet ^^ like everyone else im hoping to get picked for the closed beta for it, but whether i do or not its still going to be absolutely amazing! does anyone else here feel like a child on christmas?





ps: pardon the grammar errors, i just dont really care about that stuff unless its for school/work/official documents.
WOW :D i'm really impressed.
damn I thought this was going to be ready :(

Cold and fire skills can now deal 100% chaos damage and poison.

Consuming Dark
infernal mantle
the three dragons, status effect shift (fire <- ice <- lightning <- fire)
cold to fire

cold skills can now ignite and poison enemies.

the whispering ice: ice storm
curse on hit + temporal chains + increased duration + elemental proliferation + 2 gems of choice = complete shutdown of all mobs if done correctly.

GGG, what have you done?

Except that you can't use Consuming Dark with an staff in the other hand.
Anyway it's finally the first time 100% damage conversion to chaos is possible. As far as I see they will add a lot more chaos damage to The Awakening and I wonder if they will increase monster chaos resistance in some way.
Have a interesting build in mind with that dagger.

I was one of the players from the mysterious Orient. I really like the Diablo style game, but now I have a POE loyal fans. I hope to give me more game experience
Holy shit, I had to take a break from POE because of a new job and moving .. but holy shit what a time to come back!

The hype is real, time to get sucked down the rabbit hole once again!
"Ultimately, I confess I still don't get the appeal of dungeon crawlers.
Seems like I could recreate the essential experience by opening Microsoft Excel,
scrolling down ten thousand pages with the down cursor key, and then typing
"The Most Splendid Trousers of Them All!" -Yahtzee
how can i get beta key??
dat projectile nova

need key to test this asap!
Let me say first that I got the timing wrong: the "Heroes Reborn" wasn't the last expansion but this one instead.

Having said that...

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!!!!

I KNEW IT; THEY HAD TO COME BACK TO LIFE, I JUST KNEW IT!!!

THIS IS SO HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!!!

And then there are the other topics covered: new weapons tier, passive tree gems, new uniques, new skill gems... A whole lotta goodies coming <3

You are doing well, GGG. Keep it coming that way ;D
