btw i'm a grill

Don't play skinner boxes, play something with any actual entertainment value instead

i just did what youre about to do, for like 10+ hours

uhhhh
best build ic ould find, picked same class , is this [3.0] Whaitiri's Arc Witch

and erm, the game gets kinda boring around 7.5 hour mark, act 2 really drags on, progress starts to slow, and core gameplay loop isnt enticing enough to keep playing. i almost wrote a review based off my expeirence of 1` sitting but im gonna wait til i play more before shiitting all over it


if youre poor, id recommend playing marvel heroes over this,

its basically like.. an online version of titan quest, about on par with that, only with worse map design, worse economy, story, enemy variety/.skill variety

im kinda tired and about to go to bed, so dont feel like sayin g much else

>sell a rare magical item
>receive 9 blue bug feet

Lvl 39 here, Act 4 and still don't get how the economy works in that forsaken land..

>tfw every time I play Path of Exile I always make a ranger and then stack attack speed buffs

Lvl 39 Witch here.
You will rarely change armor and wands because no need to. And use the same spells mostly so she can get boring at times.
Find minions gems to bring over friends to fight with you.
Don't do stupid things on the skills and make like a Sword and Shield witch.
Go north on the skill tree ONLY and have fun.
Expect people to shit on this post because I just like to have fun with my RPG and NEVER follow builds and guides.

This update ruined my performance. Tried every DX version, all kinds of settings, and nothing. Annoying as hell since it worked fine last week. Unplayable for me right now, unless I go full Dobson Skyrim Mode

>only go north on the skilltree
retard alert

Interested in checking out the game later today, anyone want to group up? Is this game best played solo or with someone?

Don't die

Group will probably be more fun if you're new

lag

the lag has been fixed for like 4 patches now

>Playing a game that requires you to look up a guide to win

Also you'll have to trade for the gear or your build will be fucked, have fun!

It's been fixed for years lmao

>being retarded and projecting it on everyone else

Brilliant!

>complaining about trading in a ARPG
LOL

>being this casual

>Everybody just rushes to the end and loots all good stuff

Nah, start with SSF first to learn the ropes and not be stuck behind everybody because you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

Chaos orbs are main trading currency usually, check poe.trade for gear to level with.
Alternatively get a elemental resistance ring, magic (blue) wand/scepter and a alteration orb, sell to vendor and they'll give you the same gear back with +1 to gem level (fire/ice/lightning based off the resistance ring) and you'll wreck face

Is this game worth a playthrough if i don't plan on mindlessly farming pointless shit in the "end game".

do you like diablo clones?

Yeah, everyone i know playing has already poured hours into it and just steams through the start as fast as they can. Not fun to play with.

Man the new acts and bosses are so fucking cool.

*oneshots you*

Didn't oneshot me.

But Kitava hit me pretty hard.

>Sword and Shield witch
went Paragon of Calamity using Elemental Hit, was fun didn't went far tho...

Yes, single player is really fun and dark. There are all kinds of fucked up missions and people you will will come across.
Path of Exile brought back the visual Satanism to those RPGs.

>tfw the helmet I need for my build has gone up from 2ex to 4ex already

Liked diablo and torchlight so i guess. But can't be bothered to grind shit at endgame, just want a fun arpg to play through.

it's f2p so give it a shot, not like you have anything to lose
i feel like the atlas system really gave more incentive for playing maps, as you can control which maps you get and have objectives to work towards to unlock more

No way to hide ugly hats in this game?

It's also more fun to play through now with the linear act 1 to act 10 thing instead of a1 to 4 x three times

only $29.99 in the item shop, my good goy

Infinite Vanishing dye is often on sale for 20 points, which is 2 dollars

youtu.be/0cNoXLAXvIE?t=5m20s

Interested to try this Torchlight 2 skins. Looks magical.

All the gear look like shit it's depressing

It matches the story of being an exile scavenger but mostly you will look like garbage.

>tfw witch with a skirt and a crusaders' helmet.

I'm downloading the game right now, I'll play as a ranged archer type of person

I'll be playing solo and find all my own items like a normal Diablo because multiplay is for gays only

You're supposed to kill gods and you look like a trash can

Remember to check "solo self found" when making a character, then.

use the kinetic blast it is the coolest skill

Build defensive, you do no dps and get no experience as a corpse on the ground
Raging spirits is a pretty solid spell for starting out

Also shamelessly flaunting my immaculate fashion

I look better

You can do a Sword and Shield Witch if you go towards Templar in the skill tree. Not recommended for new players though. The dumbest way you can try and build Witch is to try to build her like a Duelist.

Whats the new nonSRS summoner build? Is the chaos spamming skeleton thing legit or just a meme?

>a huge update that should peak the interest of people looking to enjoy a video game
>they find out it's boring repetitive f2p shit with micro transactions
>only retards who've already committed a great deal of time on the game continue to play it.

Why does this pile of shit still exist?

Because it has a core of extremely autistic people that masturbate to the skill tree 3 times a day and have thousands of hours of playtime that only stop playing POE to come onto Sup Forums and call people noobs for not being able to come up with an endgame viable build on their own in 5 seconds.

>yours truly, salty D3-shill.

I'm only lvl 40 but I think it's pretty fun. Gonna toy around with scorching ray + cast while channelling + dark pact later. The totem with faster cast definitely pops skellies out fast enough

>there are people in this thread who dont play ssfhc

>can't customize my own character and are forced into classes from the start

I'll keep playing Grim Dawn instead, thank you.

Jewery is half the fun of the game, and all the cash you collect means nothing if you can't throw it at other people

Understandable if its the first time they play through the new content. First time Act 5 Kitava can have a surprising amount of burst damage that early on. Had 1900 Life and that inverse X-pattern explosion almost killed me instantly.

Play until Act 3, you unlock a new character class Scion. Then you can literally build her however you want from the start. The reason you can't play her immediatly is to prevent plebs from playing her the first time and fucking up their builds when they branch across the tree aimlessly.

>go to Diablo 3 website
>"Try it now for Free up to lvl 13"

W-what did they mean by that? Can I play Diablo 3 right now?
I live under a rock.

>implying you can't fuck up your build regardless of class

I know it's part of the learning curve of these games, but c'mon now

>that Scion design

...

>how DARE they try to make ANY MONEY whatsoever of their completely free and zero p2w game

This is why I hate MMOs.

You have to follow a stupid build guide and go for the OP build in each category or people will ignore you.

Well yeah but that was their reasoning. And its understandable because with Scion plebs can most easily make the common pleb mistake of trying to build with 3 colors as their first build.

Why haven't you bought a few yet?

>Nobody likes this game, this new expansion is a piece of shi-

So how's your Necromancer build?

>search why is the game still has gender locked classes after years of EA
>drones unironically defending it saying it would be too expensive to make new male/female models

tfw no female shadow and duelist qt
also a male witch (warlock?) would be cool

Whats a good build that makes clears a screen in one button press?
I did a Vortex build with a shadow and it was pretty fun the first time.

vaal spark

With the god awful animation quality this game has, would anyone even notice if they just put a new skin over it?

I meant grouping with new friends.
