Been playing mostly scifi for over 10 years and getting tired of it. Killing some goblins and elves is nice for a change. tongue

Agreed, twitch based melee MMO with a PTW business model.

Although they haven't explained their business model as yet, it smells too much of archeage type PTW, the Devs mentioned in one interview that Path of Exiles cosmetic only microtransaction model was too erratic which doesn't bode well.

I have played a little bit. I like how they are approaching things with a fresh new take.

The tablet UI is beyond terrible, but they said that they're working on a better one.

The grind is real.

So far, this is just another *** iphone game disguised as a hardcore sandbox mmo.
