Not sure if anybody is interested. I am always interested in indy developers.

This one has been in alpha for a few years and goes into open BETA in a few days.

It may have a certain passion that the professional and stagnant diablo3 did not have.

Looks interesting and I'll have to give it a try. On my second time through with Torchlight II and itching to try something in the same vein...

Yup, playing this one off and on. (Love the skill web...definitely not a tree lol)  Also got in on the kickstarter for Grim Dawn, which is another game along these lines.  Both look like a much better job of doing what Diablo 3 tried.

Thanks for the heads-up Destraex.  I had been playing Torchlight 2, and most recently the re-release of Sacred 2 Gold on Steam (now that it doesn't have the ridiculous DRM on it anymore!) lately.  But this one (PoE) looks to have the grittier art style I prefer in it.

I've not kept a close eye on it's progress lately, so I'm thrilled to hear that open beta starts tomorrow.  Fun fun!

A few screenshots of my BETA access.

This really is diablo2 with updated graphics. I love that you can zoom right into your character.

I fear the click is addictive but I will not last long.

Just deleted them for now as the spoilers I was using seem to have stopped working.

I can make them smaller though in future.

Lmao at the dialog from the players in that first scene.

Yeah typical online player gibberish...in just about every screenshot. It'll bring the game down.

The only stupid one I see is the jackass who specifically made the "Ihatethisf**kinggame" name to troll chat. 

Luckily many of those dumbass mouthy kids play first-person shooters, so it could be worse.

Also, Des when are you going to learn to CROP a picture so it doesn't take more than the screen should have?

Nearly every one of your screenshot threads (and I enjoy them by the way) has at least one if not all WIDE SCREEN picture shots that do not blend well with the forum thread sizes.

CROPPING is your friend.

I think the forum software needs to be set to allow scrolling the screen horizontally, for pics that don't fit your normal width.  Like many forums have.  You can rt-click and choose "view image" to see the whole thing anyway.

One thing I've not been terribly happy with is the forum software, and it's interface, here.  I suppose some of the extra hoops are to annoy spammers, but it can be a bit annoying all-around.  I can't even see some of the buttons on this page due to not having any horizontal scrolling.

How come you don't have horizontal scrolling? I have horizontal scrolling but I HATE to have to us it. lol Did you only pay for half a computer. hehe

What I don't have is rt-click view image now ain't that weird?

Sorry about that. It is the spoiler tags that were not working.

They seemed to work in my Rome thread.

I will edit them after work when i get time.
