Anyone seen/heard of Path of Exile?

Looks really cool. Specifically the skill gem system and the additional leagues they plan on implementing look fun. Gameplay looks like a darker Torchlight. I think I'll sign up.

It looks really muchly like Diablo 2

Yeah, I've been watching this for a while now. I just hope it won't be a massive disappointment

It looks really muchly like Diablo 2

Which is a good thing in my book.

I just got invited to the beta.

Same, haven't tried it yet though. I'll let you know when I get on.

F2P on Steam. Who else is playing?

I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and the systems are interesting, but the rubberbanding/desync is pretty serious. I keep running into stuff I can't kill because it's actually elsewhere.

I've been playing lately, but it reminded me why I don't play primarily mouse driven games much these days. My years of bad posture have caught up to me, and playing these kinds of games in long sessions really fucks up my right arm.

I like the materia, err Skill gem system quite a bit. Not very fond of the passive tree, it's far too large, with a very significant amount of sub par nodes. And yes, the desync is atrocious, although I've had far less issues with it, and a much better frame rate after switching to the steam client.
