I'm up for that, actually.

How bout right now?

[Trollheiming]

Wish I could. Anything off the Singapore server trashes my ping. And even then...

[Rose]

Good thing I'm a singapore player then.

I'm on there as Japa, and my character name will be PunchMcFistIII

Does Act 2 begin after the end of the Prison?

I have to say, I LOVE that they didn't do the bog standard "Act 2 is desert-themed." Granted, Act 2 of PoE is exactly like Act 3 of Diablo 2....but I cackled out loud when we stepped into the forest and were mobbed by BLOOD DRINKING MONKIES!!!

I'm in a love/hate place right now with gear. I love the fact there's several layers of game systems behind your gear options. I'm definitely not bored when I look over my gear, compared to D3 where I could tell at a glance whether I should give a shit or not. On the other hand, finding a good piece of gear with the right gem slots AND the right slot relationships kind of makes gearing well a crap shoot. I suppose the goal is for players to endlessly spend their time farming for the perfect piece of gear, or farming for mats to modify it in the perfect piece of gear?

Technically, its all on the same servers, just gateway-based ping.
At least that what I think it is, one of the mods had said they were connected from singapore in global chat before.

Does Act 2 begin after the end of the Prison?

Act 2 is directly after Merveil's death. Brutus is more of a major mid-act boss. If you hit U and see a new tab above the map, you're in a new act.

Down to two monsters in the Fetid Pool on a new character.
"Realm Restart in 10 Seconds"
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

RIP 33 newb shadow. Ugh, died at the entrance to act 3 normal, trying to finally farm some gear as i felt really weak.
I already made it to market sewers before, but as i went back to try farming, the unique there rooted me and i got swarmed before i could log out :|

Now i'm doing a 180, from crit shadow (without equipment) to hp/armor marauder. That will be boring but hopefully saver and less stressing in NORMAL farming hehe

You can always just skip the fetid pool until later unless you want the respec points right now.

How does Fork affect Etheral Knives?
Does it cause 20 knives to be thrown?

[Aklyon]

You're thinking of the effect of lesser/greater multiple projectiles (does that work with ethereal knives?). Fork splits on impact with enemies.

[Facekillz058]

So, will my knives launch out even more knives upon hitting an enemy?

[Bluerobin]

I think so. The wiki says it's a projectile skill, so it should be affected by Fork just like normal. (wiki link: http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Ethereal_Knives)

I think the part of the game that made me question the game's quality was the third act where enemies will suddenly either do "way too much unless you stacked defense in advance" or will "Hit automatically".

It really cheapened the game for me and I don't even want to play it, but if I don't play it my friends won't play with me for a long time.

There's probably something in the formula that weighs {cLVL vs. mLVL} more than other factors; Diablo 2 was like that also.

Formulas aside...  Take a look at your stats in the character pane.  If those numbers suggest you should be faring better, and not fighting blue/yellow dudes that target your Achilles' Heel, then put in a bug report.  It's entirely possible that the math behind the pixels is wonky.
