I’m playing online today after having finished the campaign offline this weekend.

Still enjoying the game, gonna finish the campaign offline before moving online. I hate the pointer in the game though, it is small and white and likes to get lost in the environments because it is so damned hard to keep track of. Really need some pointer options to make it bigger, or a different color or outlines or something…anything.
I’ve been playing it nonstop since release. Yes they had problems between their servers and Steam’s but that seems to have been solved. It’s a bit slow to login at times since over 50k people are trying to play at once. The game is FANTASTIC, the campaign is amazing. You build your character without limits. Tons of fun and there is a whole different game once the campaign is done. I haven’t had this much fun with an ARPG since Diablo 2. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars just because of the launch debacle, but if I were starting today it would be 5/5.

I tried it to play last night. I should know better by now than to jump in a new to online game company. Took a long time to get onto the server. When I finally did get on the killer lag was really bad. Boss killing was almost impossible. Gave up after an hour and had Steam refund my purchase. If/when they resolve their issues I will try again.
I played online yesterday and I found that if you go to the network tab in settings and choose the specific server closest to you it works much better.

I posted that when it was still in beta in the other forum section.
A couple of us are using the Path of Exile channel in discord to talk while we are playing this, also using the POE text channel to post things like build planners and the likes.
With all that said, Im having a blast with it, even with all it’s issues.

Could be worse. Your character could be a bowling ball.

Both my wife and I are, although we haven’t played together yet as she out paces me. This weekend we are going to start new characters together.

I had to to take a break from playing. I got to the Lambach boss and I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or missing something, or it’s bugged for me. I can tear through her(it’s?) first phase with no problem, I get to the second phase and I get it down to having no health left and I’m just pounding away at it and it won’t die. This happened three times in a row last night and I came as close to rage quitting a game as I have ever come. Then I went and played some Rage 2 to vent that rage. I dunno, not sure what is the deal, did some searching and I didn’t find any mentions of this issue.

Bring two health potions, and slow down you just have to get the timing down,also make sure you follow and stand in the white circle cause the blood burns you. The thing that was getting me is the hit box is big, but i was standing right at the edge and some of the notches you can get stuck on. Boss in third act is bugged and its a known issue, you can’t damage it or have a DOT doing damage to is between the phases, you need to wait like 15 secs between phases or he breaks and just stands there taking no damage.

I read there are a lot of bugs. Is this true? Or is it worth getting now?

ill give it a try. are there guilds?
Good question
I do not believe Wolcen has an in-game guild system. Doesnt mean OTG peeps cant organize .
I have a char that could use help with Edrik for example.
I just entered Act 2 and I haven’t experience any major bugs - aside from the Friend List not working. Not sure if this has been fixed. Also the lack of a General Chat is a big minus for me… I mean its an online game.
Now for the good stuff. The graphics are off the chart for this type of game. Also great soundtrack. Combat is also great fun and its fast and responsive. If the Devs continue to support the game and bring in some of the missing features I think it will be a great game. Am I sorry I bought it - no!
I just think the game isn’t really fully cooked and ready for prime time. Lots of bugs. Some folks get stuck and can’t progress beyond a certain point is a biggy. Map (Explorations) crashes after spending 30+ minutes per map resulting in not getting “credit” for completion is another. The devs are trying to update the game and address issues, but in so doing are sometimes causing additional problems. They either see a ridiculous overpower or it is brought to their attention and they hit it with a giant nerf bat essentially wrecking it entirely. Right now it seems that the vast majority of builds will not get you all the way through endgame. Stacking ailment builds and possibly the 100% block and resist build may get you past 150. I like the game a lot, especially some of the endgame stuff, but it just isn’t fully baked. Probably will go back to PoE when new League launches in a week.
This exactly, i have put in over 150 hours, and the foundation is there for a solid game. It’s just 6 months to a year away at this point. Now mind you D3 and POE were like this when they released, (if not worse… cough D3) but they have put the years in to fine tune them. I to will be all in on the Delirium league, GGG just keeps making POE better and better.

Yeah me too. I’m level 34 and have not encountered any major bugs. One of my spells get stuck (playing a Warlock) but other than that, I’m doing ok.
