imageAtlas of Worlds Announced, Launching September 2nd

Path of Exile is getting a brand new expansion. Called Atlas of Worlds, it launches on September 2nd, and significantly improves the endgame map creation system players have been spending so much time with since the game launched a few years back. We spoke with Grinding Gear’s Chris Wilson about the myriad ways in which Atlas of Worlds improves the endgame for Path of Exile, and how the new Essence Challenge League brings challenges for new players too.

    they just keep on churning fun out, best free game ever, and only one I have ever donated too

    Same here. They keep pushing the check box for what an ARPG should. and giving more more and more proof of what it can be and work

    IMHO being forced to do maps eventually (you far exceed the level cap of any monsters outside of the map system rather quickly) is what ruins Path of Exile's end game and is why I quit the game. Oh well.

    They really do improve and add to the game on a regular basis. I just wish they addressed the subpar combat. D3 is so far ahead of them it's not even funny.

    Grim Dawn I find is a better ARPG game, what Diablo III should have been.
  • MyrdynnMyrdynn Member RarePosts: 2,483
    Grim Dawn is a solid ARPG, especially with DAIL, otherwise it got pretty boring the first play thru. If only there was an online aspect of GD.

    I've enjoyed path of exile, and I'll likely go back at some point to play the new story content. However my interest in "maps" is very low, and I couldn't care less about the "seasons".

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    Do they let you zoom out yet?
  • WarlyxWarlyx Member EpicPosts: 3,367
    zoom out a bit more and more polished combat (animations too) and the best ARPG ever....

    I would say best ARPG on market, regardless of payment model.

    Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

    So who here that's returning actually got to the map system of Path of Exile?  And perhaps more importantly, liked it?

    The map system is the proper game. The leveling process up to maps is fun for racing, but just a chore if all you want is to play a new build. Anyone who don't like the map system should stay away from this game.

    And yes, I'm playing maps 95% of the time and I love the map system. Best endgame ever.

    I loved Dominus boss so much, I listened his speech on youtube many times, after defeated him, he really felt like godlike tough and merciless enemy, that voice actor was genius!

    But I gave up on game because of the one-shot mechanics in hardcore mode, when opening some box could kill you instantly. I also found armor system so bland - my endgame character still runs around in same rags as when I started the game, only with more skillgems inside it. The best looking armor one must buy from cash shop - this really ruined fun for me: instead of thrill to find cool armor from mobs, like in Diablo games, here i must buy it from shop.

    And spamming one or two skills the whole game quickly became boring.

    I asked "Who here' that's RETURNING likes the map system?" because this thread appears to have a ton of people saying "I'll go back to Path of Exile for this!" so I wanted to know if they were certain why they'd be going back.

    I only asked for returning players' opinion because it should go without saying that anyone who's still left playing PoE at this point likes the map system, otherwise they wouldn't still be playing it.  Those who hate the map system all quit by this point considering how old the game is and how integral the map system is (with the possible exception of league-ers, but even most of them only drop in once every few months for the new league rather than play consistently)
