im sitting here looking at my steam library thinking about path of exile and just getting mad all over again
was in the closed beta back in 2011. apparently what i've played and gone through which was the final act at the time, Act 3 that ended with Dominus is now just a fraction of what the game contains. you used to just loop to higher difficulties after 3 and then on to maps. anyway my issue is the sea of systems that are now piled on top of the game that make getting back into it a screamingly daunting task, and my ever righteous distrust over games that will only function when connected to a master server.
this is all extremely wounding because the setting and design of everything outside of the drop rates on currency items is extremely fucking cool. incredible ideas with the skill gems, the passive tree, crafting and all that. incredibly My Shit kind of world, just gorgeous music. it just needs to not be beholden to being Only Online.
