People are weird and funny tho and can throw money on about anything...or in fact in exchange for nothing..

 

 

 

Go google the meaning of the word "to invest" or "an investment". 

Kickstarter is a tool of both monetary investment as well as an invenstment in public awareness - the MAIN important thing in case for major backers and investors to step in - because they only invest into stuff that CAN be profitable, since the basis of investment is getting a profit. 

So kickstarter users are "investing" into the game, for the "profit" of Game being released, as well as getting additional goodies, and they at the same time are the proof for major backers that the market is profitable.

Its a win-win situation and a commonplace practice in a free-economic society - you do not always "pay" for the goods that are already there - your money can be an investment in hopes of a future gain.  That's the reason we have, well, ANYTHING EVER?

i like to read some of the stuff posted here but regarding this fellow´s interview i must say what a bunch of junk speach. talking only on how free this game will be when they do the opposite regarding beta. i agree they have to get some sort of revenue but charging for beta is just wrong. beta is to put the game to test and get as much feedback as possible. trion worlds did that with defiance and they even gave keys everywhere. on the nwo foruns theres a thread for beta testers to answer ppl questions theres only one guy apart form the moderators answering. so if they make this sort of stuff for beta i can only imagine how it will be when game goes live 

the REAL closed beta has been going on for more than a few months already ;]

Sure belongs to an MMO site.

 

Its developed by the lead developer of TSW, so yeah. It does, in a way belong here. 

POE is one of the BEST cures for the wounds inflicted by mediocrity that was World of Diablocraft III.

Its nice to see that there still are developers who DO get on why people loved the original two games so much, and at the same time those developers manage to innovate and add awesome new things into the good old Diablo formula.

For all intents and purposes, Path of Exile is what D3 SHOULD have been.

That WAS a joke, right?

In this thread: People bitching about completley optional preorder package purchases that are basis of many games including POE, not to mention everything on kickstarter and are just a way to support the developers/publishers for those who are willing.

I think I lost a few brain-cells reading some of the posts here. People are just LOOKING for a reason to hate this. 

Mystery deepens - at work I can log-in just fine into website on my laptop.
Back at home, on the very same laptop, it keeps throwing "Connection Reset" error.

And this all started few days ago when I reset my password.

And yeah, still no email.

Just got the email.....IN GERMAN LANGUAGE???...WAT...

Not only there's still no email, but apparently I can't even log-in to my account in the website, as I keep getting "Connection has been Reset" message(or the log-in page just hangs at 0% loaded).

Lol,just make another account with a different email,thats what I did =p.

Does not help on if I can't get past the login screen, as I keep getting "Connection To Server has been reset" message, which started to appear RIGHT AFTER I reset my pass. 

For those thinking about trying this game - don't

1. NetDragon/91/TQ are the biggest moneygrubbers in the entire china, so don't expect to get anywhere without paying A LOT.  They are known for stomping out mediocre games to grab quick cash from unaware who enter them. 
2. The company does not care about hacking or balance so you will have matches full of people shooting through walls, aimbotting, or just generally hack-killing you
3. No balance at all - as of this moment, game is ruled by those using sniper riffles(because game has pretty much no waepon feedback or recoil, using them is hell of easy) and loli-characters with machineguns, 
4. Because of 1,2 and 3, EVERY match you will join WILL end up in a futile zerg-fest against one player who just will sit and spawn-camp kill tens of players on your side.

Still laughing at Guild World of WarCraft II being named as Most Innovative...
"Hey guyse, auto-accepting quests is now the pinnacle of innovation in MMO's."

Haven't laughed this much since TORcraft review.

And here I though that the GWII hype has finally died down and people started to see that game for what it is - a WoW reskin with auto-complete quests, mediocre story and no real end-game. 

For all seriousness, though, Secret World should have won The Most Innovative part.

Why is this being posted on a Forum catered to the western audience? We can't even access the game.

Oh I don't know, maybe because:

1. Its amongst the MOST anticipated titles in western hemisphere.
2. People are actually INTERESTED in everything there is to know about this game.
3. Jake Song, the creator of Archeage already confirmed that English version is already in the works.

Is it just me that sees a kind of Dragon Age: Origins vibe in this game?

Pretty much, yeah, graphically its the DA1, while combat-wise it seems to be a WAY MORE polished and more sensible version of DAII combat.

Seems likely that Trion wasn't happy with where End of Nations was so close to launch and decided to salvage what they could.  I'm not sure what that means for the game, though.  Is Trion going to dedicate the staff to finish the game or does it go into a cupboard never to be seen again?

Its quite clear that Trion is planning to go through with it and launch the game eventually. Its more than likely that it was stuck in development hell in Petroglyph. 

This game is incredibly awesome. 

• It does not hand-hold you.
• It provides a chilling atmosphere and actual dungeons that feel like dungeons instead of grind places.
• It punishes you for failure and rewards you for success.
• Its as close to Wizardry franchise ideas as a mmorpg game can get - just replace the party system with other players. Everything else - difficulty, deceptive traps and tactical approach to encounters - everything is still there.

SOE in their original true form. Punishing their own playerbase... 

 

No thanks, had enough of that with EQ1 to last a lifetime.

You do realise people actually like to be punished for bad decisions in games? No? 

 

 

^This.

I will never stomach the idea of "modern gamer" who wants to be hand-held and guided through everything and have no reprecursions for failure. 99% of the games in last year or so have been pretty much...movies. 

Games, as far as I am concerned SHOULD punish one for failure - that's what makes success so satisfying.

Eu server: same with me, I used my PWE acc and it downloaded the US client. But when I saw that in Eu it's Gameforge, I rather stayed on the US East servers :)

THIS. No matter what one thinks about PWE, gameforge is around ten times worse. 

Also what I found surprising is that even though I am playing on US server, I am NOT experiencing any lag at all. Game is just as fluid as if I was playing on gameforge's servers, which is commendable.
