Path of Exile (open Beta)

Killomatic

A Little Darkly
Badass, thanks for making me aware of this game.
I had D3 the day before it came out, and hated it within the first few plays.
Grabbed the game today, so I'm a little early in, but everything seems to be what I hoped for from Diablo.
Love the darker, more evil feel.....going to have some fun with this one.

Version 0.10.2
Content:
  • Added a new Intelligence Skill - Incinerate: Launches a torrent of fire from your hand. The longer you repeatedly cast the spell from the same location, the larger and more damaging the flames become.
  • Added a new cosmetic microtransaction effect - Blue Flame Incinerate: Replaces the standard flame of Incinerate with a ghostly blue fire.
  • Added a new cosmetic microtransaction effect - Tiki Totem: Replaces the standard Spell Totem or Ranged Attack Totem with a coloured totem that has carved tiki designs.

  • We've added a "Lost Password" button to the main menu.
  • Pressing Ctrl+up in chat allows you to cycle through previous players you've talked to via whisper in this session.
  • Chat messages that are more than one line long now indent subsequent lines so that it's harder to confuse other players with fake messages.
  • There's now a /clear_ignore_list command that will remove all entries from the list of accounts you are ignoring chat messages from. Better management of ignore lists is coming in the future.
  • Players in an area are now always granted the quest status of having killed a boss regardless of who killed it.

  • Infernal Blow's physical damage now increases by 4% per level rather than 3%.

The 0.10.5 patch that was due this coming Wednesday has been delayed for a week because of the vast combinations of skills to test with the new support gems. Instead we'll be deploying the 0.10.4b patch which will contain the week's set of new Unique items (all four of which are designed by Diamond supporters). This news post explains what support gems you can expect in the 0.10.5 patch and touches on a few other issues.
