Path of Exile
 

For those interested in Diablo esc style gaming, PoE is currently in beta testing. It's well worth a look and you can find their web site here.

Looks fantastic Rickety! This might be what we've been looking for

This game looks custom made for me!!! I have been trying to find something similar to Diablo/Titan Quest for awhile now that isn't too cartooney or comedy based...

Any info on the beta?? I signed up for an account, is that all I need to do???

Get me a beta key someone!!! :)

Intriguing!! What's up with all the freeness? Go the Kiwi gaming studios!!! :D

I have been sucked into reading the forums for hours on this game....

The things the beta testers are saying have me giddy. The skill system (gems) looks amazing and I hear that there is a very big passive skill tree that you will invest into also. It sounds like there will be tons of different ways to play your character.

I couldn't be more excited for a game like this, thanks Leevers for posting about it, I had no idea!! This game is custom made for me.

Beta keys are given based on a random timer. Every 28 minutes it invites another person using some random system. Hopefully I can get one soon ;)

I have been watching this game for awhile and trying to get into beta...no luck yet...

Anyone out there in beta and can send me a friend invite?? I am very excited for this little title.

Hmm, looks better than I expected. Plus it's being developed in NZ rather than Korea or China, that seems like a good sign.

I got lucky and got an invite. My first impressions review here. They aren't giving out extra keys to anyone in BETA (unless you win them) but if they do, I'll let you know.
