Path Of Exile

Yeah but nothing like bnet, which means overall, you're going to be doing "meph runs" to get set pieces that ultimately you cannot show off to anyone else. Like I said it is a great game, and it has a huge leg up on diable anything (including 3 in my eyes because of customization) but unless you have people to play on a LAN with you a bunch (college setup LAN style) or something other than that, it's ..meh

what are you talking about, there's massive amounts of custom games for people doing specific runs.... it's the exact same as bnet... actually it's better cause unlike in diablo 3, you're not making a game just based on a quest line... you can just generate a game, and name it what you want... like "high end trades" it's the exact same as D2... aside from you can add people 2 friends list by clicking on them... also the chat menu has a global chan, so there's people and chatter all the time. yesterday it was the 7'th most played game on steam... there's a reason. Not sure how long it's been since you played it, but I'm assuming it's been a while.

it also has trading and you can link items in the global and other chat groups.... so yes, you can hardcore show off epic drops. not sure why I would need lan friends when there's tens of thousands of people playing this online right now.

social board in town, full of custom games one can easily join.
