Path of Exile Release Media Coverage (Updated!)

I wasn't buying into all of the hype before, as I've learned to curb my enthusiasm and anticipation waiting for something, lest I drive myself crazy obsessing over it. But good god, I cannot wait to build a scion and use the new passive trigger cast gems! I have some pretty crazy ideas already, from hybrid crit dagger Frenzy + Cast on Melee Kill, PCoC, and Discharge, to Dominating Blow + Cast on Melee Kill and Conversion Trap (LOL!), to Cast on Damage Taken + Cold Snap + Temporal Chains.

EDIT: Ideas regarding Guardians: I'd really like to see this guy persist between log ins, until he is killed. This way he can consume skill gems linked within the consumed items, and players can plan a guardian that they will wish to keep alive with GG uniques and rares, and high quality gems and supports. This skill will be one of the most fun things to contribute to the solo experience, and will serve as an excellent and much needed gem and item sink. GG GGG, awesome implementation of a classic D2 skill!

EDIT 2: Also, the new homepage looks bee-oo-tiful :)

New PVP Modes. YAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!

You guys and girls never cease to impress and amaze! 0.0

KEEP IT UP!

Mini map still sucks:(

Everything else is amazing though.

They should add buyouts to public stash tabs. I hate, that everyone is so fucking scared of AHs. Bartering sucks.

I hope getting items in PvP isn't faster, than in PvE, so people don't have to PvP, if they don't want to.

I didn't play Anarchy, because of the fresh economy, I played it because of the Rogue Exiles and Challenges. And I'll play the shrine league for the shrines and the new challenges. It'd be cool, if they added these new features to the permanent leagues, not just at the end of the 4 month leagues.

No paths in the middle of the tree between the opposite sides of the tree like before? The new class could be kinda OP because of that. Most of the builds go all over the skill tree, and the Scion will be probably ideal in those cases.

Glad you guys are excited. Let's try not to let this thread devolve into an animated gif-fest like that other thread earlier this evening!

I'm heading to sleep now. More news will be posted throughout the day tomorrow (including the trailer). We're very keen to see your reactions!

can we see some new unique items that will be coming with this ..:)

sounds like your quitting then. dibs on your gear.

lol kolp, some of my gear is fairly tasty but if theres one person who doesnt need it its you. It would probably end up as a give away prize in one of your 'craft the best item ever' threads.

Dual wield dagger rangers are pretty hot btw, get in on that twin terrors string, carnage.





Sry for being negative in the thread guys, the new shit all looks amazing and Im sure theres so many more amazing things still to be announced, its good to see people actually being happy about things being added as the forum has suffered form a load of anti fanboys posting crap for the sake of negativity recently.

But chris, if ur out there, please dont destroy our builds for the sake of adding a new class. If we all promise to roll a scion and do the game with a fresh character on launch like you want can you cut us some slack on the middle roundabout? We got a deal here buddy? 2 scions? Name you price fella.

Well, so far I wasn't hyped at all for release, mainly beacuase I had literally no time playing in the last month, but dear lord the new stuff looks awesome!
