21.02.2017 PoE patch 3.0 gets 6 new acts for free, Diablo3 patch 2.5 gets more "Class balance meta changes". Wake up people! This is a good game and it's free. This is free content for the lovers of true ARPG games. Probably the only free game where the microtransactions are purely for vanity items. Try it and support it if you will enjoy it. P.S. Don't get scared by the skill tree. Can be overwhelming but it makes sense!

~ Free To Play ~ Good Storyline ~ Game Runs Well With Minimal Specs ~ Good Sized Player Base ~ Fast Servers ~ Nice Graphics Overall,this Game is a lot of fun and is a great Diablo 3 alternative.I give a lot of credit to the Developer for this Game,considering how great it is and it's free to play.There are Microtransactions in the Game,but you can still have an enjoyable experience without using them.

Very good game. Its free to play so how cann you go wrong. Can get somewhat repetitive working your way through the acts multiple times. SMALL TIP FOR NEW PLAYERS: Pay attention to your skill tree. This is very important. If your skill tree is not optimized properly towards what types of spells and attacks you plan on doing then you will not be able to defeat the higher tier enemys and end up grinding HARD. Look up some good Path of Exile builds online or on youtube and follow those. You will not just have one character. And you will not play through the game just once. Everytime becomes more of a challenge to better your character. 10/10 would wash up on a beach again.

POSITIVE: best diablo/hellgate mix that i have ever found! skilling is funny, you can almost do everything you want and even as free player you can reach good power level but well optic effects cost as usual. even high powered you will look like all the rest. everything special you got to buy with real money. but isnt that always the case? NEGATIVE: the quests become boring very fast, if you finished the first act you will fly over the others faster and faster until you encounter the point where you could NEED some other player to go with you. well...if nobody of your real life friends play this game you can forget it. in the community you wont find SOCIAL or FRIENDLY people. only egoistic and rude ones. its fun to play it solo still..you just need twenty hours more patience ;) give it a try and find out by yourself.
