I completely forgot aboot this thing.

I could potentially give it a shot, never played this kinda game multiplayer before.

[Aklyon]

I'd certainly be interested, but not being able to do anything in act 3 until I have a better gpu makes me not the most interested in being as active as I could be.

It will be released soon... server has restarted.

DLing now!  The patch is smaller than I thought... about 1.2 GB for me, having been patched up to date a few days ago.

If you haven't run the client in a while, it will be more like my guess of 2-3 GB, as there was a revision of arts assets a couple months ago.

[Aklyon]

Interesting bit from the release notes, for people who remember it being removed: Avatar of Fire keystone has returned rebalanced (50% of your physical/lightning/cold damage is converted to fire damage. You can't deal non-fire damage.), could be interesting to see if it ends up overused again.

Late Edit: Huzzah for optimizations. I can (likely) play act 3 to the end now.

The server was hit quite hard during the first day... when I opened my stash in Domination, the game kicked me out with a "operation timeout" error.

Today it seems it's all settled and I can play again. Started a Scion in standard, to test the new gems. Animate Weapon is *very* powerful. 30 seconds duration, but there's no limit to how many you can have up at a time. You can only use it on identified weapons on the ground.

I raised 4 whites (2 with 10%+ quality) and 2 yellows (I didn't even read their description), and together with my 4 zombies, they destroyed Brutus in mere seconds.

Got back into this now it's on Steam. Never really played it much in beta, took witch as my first char but have rolled a ranger to play with my friends. Definitely enjoying it!

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Might start a new character today, stealing all my previous character's stuff if it hasn't been wiped.

I've built insane characters, Glacial Hammer FTW.

[Aklyon]

Well, I doubt I'd survive Dominus (possibly Piety too) from a purely FPS standpoint, but I'm having fun exploring Act 3 now that I can.
Should we make a B12 guild?

[kcwong]

I checked out the guild interface... there's no initial cost to setup a guild. By default you have 0 guild stash tabs, and I am not sure how many members.

There's only premium guild stash tab (50 GGG points) and guild member slots (100 GGG points for 10) in the store.

Guild members can donate points into the guild, and then only the guild master can purchase stuff. From what I've read, the master can set permission on the stash tabs on who can retrieve items. Officers can invite new members.

Maps have an alphabet associated; master can put 6 maps into the guild interface to create a guild prefix, which will appear in front of all guild members' names.
Edit: Players are making a list: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/547071

For now, it's basically a different friends list, with a guild chat (&) and shared stash.

[Aklyon]

Default members is 30, I think.

[Chattox]

What's a general good direction for Shadows? I'm putting points into claws because fuck yeah claws, so should I go for crit aswell?

[Aklyon]

Make sure you go towards Soul Raker if you've got claws, more life leech is always good.

For using Spectral Throw with a claw though, how does this look guys?

[Chattox]

What is spectral throw? I hear people talking about it in the chat alone with flicker strike like they're the dogs bollocks

It's basically a spell that lets you throw your weapon and have it come back again, although it's augmentable to let you create multiple weapon copies 'n' shit. I'm guessing most people really love it because it's new, not because it's anything really special when compared to other skills.
