Unfinished is the wrong word, I tried this when it was still trying to be open world, unsure exactly when that was, all I know is, it just all kind of felt like a bad idea at the time.
Excited that they seemed to have turned this around, will play after launch.
no. I have them all, I usually like them all (what can I say, im a fanboy for the genre) and I loved what I played of this in EA (only Act 1), its gorgeous, the combat is super meaty, the skill system is interesting (think D3 runes except you can have multiple per skill instead of just 1), and have I said the combat is super meaty? even the spell casting feels meaty.
Yeah, especially since the devs said that the story is just the tutorial part of the game.
They more or less redesigned the game entirely somewhere in 2018. A lot has changed since then.
That's a very reductive view of what Poe does every 3 months, and ladder resets are a staple of the genre at this point.
To clarify this, they didn't just dock those points because of issues with the story but also because they ran into crashes, audio issues, broken AI and bugs that caused mobs/bosses/terrain to not spawn correctly which could only be fixed by a restart. There has been an update to this test that mentions that the PR team has since responded by saying that it's the wrong build, even though it was marked as review code with an embargo for the 12th. So maybe it will just end up being a fuck up by said team and the release build won't have any of those issues.
I see.
That certainly doesn't sound good, and I feel like I've heard that kind of excuse before. Hopefully that really is the case.
All I can say is that playing through and finishing the early access I ran into some bugs but none of them were game breaking or required restarts.
This is looking pretty interesting, but I'm a bit on the fence (due to time constraints mostly). Any word if will get more reviews before the EA pricing period ends?
That launch trailer was dope. I need to finish Children of Morta first and then get into this. The diversity in the class/weapon builds looks great!
endgame wasnt in the beta but the 1.0 patch notes mention "story difficulty" and "normal difficulty", endgame modes are only available in "normal" (and they only open up after you beat the story.
Hmm... so nobody knows? I'll have to wait and see. I want something meaty to stick my teeth into.
Welp because of this thread I went and purchased it. I love ARPGs, so this really shot up on my radar
not to judge anyone's spending habits, but the game is raising its price when it goes live. Going either 40 or 45 im not sure. If it looks like something you enjoy, especially if you know the genre, you can get it discounted on humble right now.
Seems like a no brainer to me, I mean, if it goes to 45, you will be waiting a long time for a sale to hit those 24 or whatever it is on humble. Just sayin. you do you.

My finger is hovering over the purchase button. Considering I hadn't even HEARD of this before this thread, it's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Too true. I'm pretending I won't get it until I know the details but I'm totally getting it.
I think the draw was mainly the price is gonna double tomorrow so I'd rather not pay that
Bought as well. Think the price is going up on launch tomorrow. I don't love ARPGs as much as traditional CRPGs, but I do enjoy ones that are interesting and well done.
There's a basic character customisation. Male/Female, you get a few faces, can change eyes, hair, and beards.
I don't, but I'll co-sign this query. Might be the difference between grabbing it now or not.
funny you say that as the sound effects are probably the best thing about the game. That might sound like a bad thing, but it's really not, it's why everything feels so... well, meaty.
Also, fucked around with some melee skills just now after doing mostly ranged archer stuff (im saving caster stuff for live) and yup, sure feels meaty lol. Lot's of leaps, lots of chains and aoes and shouts, pretty much all the barbarian-y stuff you would want.
My thoughts as well. They then praise it for it's end game content at least.
its either going up to 40 or 45, Im not sure. It's discounted on Humble Store right now for what it's worth.
I was watching a stream last night and this game looks identical to Diablo 3 visually. The combat looks pretty weighty and fun though so I may give it a shot.
