Path of Exile

The DL hit steam.

Steam update up.

Never played PoE but keep hearing about the new Season dropping today. Is a new season a good time to start playing for the first time?

Yes, but don't expect to get your character right the first time unless you closely follow a guide.

You can't respec freely? Wtf?

So I'm going to try and split my time between this and MHW which I'm still having a blast with (first world problem I know). So I never played a miner before (looking at GC), but clear speed doesn't seem that great. Anyone do a hybrid (gem swap) of Kinetic Blast mines for clearing and GC for bosses? That might be the best of both worlds for me. Is this crazy or even necessary?

Might give it a shot then! Is there clans or guilds or bonuses? Gonna be driving a few hours later today to get back home so will probably look up some long winded videos to get some info?

And the guide you're following probably sucks, too.

8 gigs or whatever downloaded almost instantly, seems the servers are good for now get that DL going

79 people in queue ahead of me now. Steam download was pretty quick today compared to my normal download.

I'm #79 and I will be lvl 20 when people are killing shaper or such. I'm super slooooow. But I stop and look at all the stuff I looted, for no real reason.
