    I've tried the game twice.... few things that keep me from really enjoying it. Mostly... the combat isn't all that exhilarating. I played Diablo 3 a **** ton more and that game is awful... but damn does it have smooth, exciting combat.

    POE's passive skill tree is interesting... but I don't really look forward to +30 more mana... +40 crit rating (making these numbers up). I like getting better combat skills.

    The game was also zoomed in almost too far for comfort. Could never see much of the game at once. Kinda odd for a new game in 2012.

    Lots of other things that bugged me about it. I'm still looking forward to Grim Dawn a bit more I think. But that game is coming along so slowly :(

    I've played 30 some hours over the past 6 months. My favorite part of the game is the economy. I'm so sick of wow (and now d3) gold based economies. There is no gold in this game. Currency is just small items that modify items in certain ways. This brings me to my second favorite part of the game. You use the "currency" to reroll certain parts of an item. So if you found a sweet item but the sockets suck, you can reroll just the sockets. The worst part of the game is just how slow combat is. Especially at the beginning. I wouldn't want them to change it though, as your character becomes more powerful, combat will speed up. Enemies are faster after act 1. In this type of game you always fight zombies in the first act and they are just so slow and boring.

    Lucky boy had to pay for my beta key.
    The game does have a Diablo 2 feel to it and you can put together some very interesting character builds which you sure as hell can't do in D3.

    the thing I don't like about PoE is the combat. It's beyond bad. the responsivness of controls, the pace. it's so many years behind D3's combat. I play D3 for the addictive loot and combat. those 2 things. PoE has some nice possible builds though. Knowing me I'd just google some cookie cutter stuff anyway haha.

    yeah, big skill tree but let's not be fooled, there will be a few cookie cutter builds that everyone will be running. Looking forward to it though.

    hy all....

    when i started PoE a few weeks ago, i tried to enhance the aa or force it etc..I did find something..

    So, im posting this for the People interessted in better AA..

    First of all, u need to go in NVInspector and DELETE the DRAGON - mmorpg Profile...If u dont do this it aint working , cause these to games use teh same exe name, and that will result in an fail..

    Ok, after u deleted teh dragon mmorpg thing, u will be able to add teh client.exe to teh Path of Exile Profile..

    Since teh game has an pretty good built aa u want to enhance it..Quality is great, no single aliasing..No bits needed..

    heres a screen of teh settings im using, 4 x 4 Supersample..GPU usage @ 99% and 80 - 100 FPS..

    [​IMG]

    I hope, this helps teh people that where searching for an better aa method...

    Screens for comparsion are coming if u guys want some..

    I myself found the ingame AA pretty decent tbh but yeah, a few screens wouldn't hurt. Also BetA, have you had any luck with SweetFX and PoE? I can't get it to work.

    erm, i didnt try sweetfx for myself, but heard its working...
    I dont use it, since PoE is also e sports league, so im not shure if sfx is allowed etc...so i just left it, cause teh game looks decent with supersample AA...But yeah, some stuff could be better with sfx, like the defog option a tiny bit...

    ok, screens are coming in a bit...

    ok some screens..
    its hard to see teh diff between supersample enhanced and ingame 4 x aa..but look close at the ground and teh helmet, also the wooden sticks in front of him..

    NO AA
    [​IMG]
    ingame 4 aa
    [​IMG]
    ingame 4 + 4 x 4 supersample enhanced
    [​IMG]

    shouldnt took those in Jpeg..anyway, try it yourself and look for shadows, light sources (edges) etc, and u will see a little difference between ingame aa and supersample enhanced..

    i just gonna open a thread over at PoE and ask if wseetfx is allowed or not...
