I was expecting this thread to be more alive todayGuess it's just me that's very excited about POE
Too many other games to play atm, so it's hard to get excited, plus I already played it so I know what to expect.
Yeah ditto. Servers will also be under a lot of strain tonight. Just helps to know that I can play it the next time that I have some free time

First 45 mins impresssion:
Thought I'd try a different class I usually play and created a Ranger. Defeated my first elite enemy and got to the first town where I saw other players running around. Progressed a little more to the Mud Flats.
Graphics are decent - I like them. They're not amazing, but I have no complaints in that department. Gameplay is a little slow paced, but not unbarebly slow that I'm frustrated. I realise the first 10 or 20 levels will take a while.
I noticed mobs like to swarm you, so killing them quickly as possible is recommended. There are enough of them to level you decently in the beginning.
Using gems is also interesting. You socket them to items you find and they give you new bonuses / attacks. They also level up with you. Strange concept, but one I'm liking so far.
The concept of no gold is something I'm still trying to get my head around, but I'm getting there. Instead, you can sell loot at vendors for broken up items. You can also buy new stuff with these broken up items.
So far I'm only level 4 and I really enjoyed my first 45 minutes. The skill tree is dauntingly MASSIVE, but I feel that adds to the fun.
Oddly, Friends seem to be added via character name and not account name. Which means, every time your friend creates a new character, you must add that character too.
So, for now, you can all add me with: Lady_Ripley

Found this awesome YouTube video, that I recommend everyone watch. It's only 5 mins long and they give some good tips and basic understanding:

I was really looking forward to trying this out when I got up today, but as luck would have it I just woke up and saw that there was some kind of connection error and it still needs to download about 1.2GB before I can play.
Same here but will be able to play to my hearts content tonight
