The actual launch and the first hour or so went suuuper smooth. Could be something unexpected popping up that's not directly related to capacity alone. There's some talk about the public API being 'hammered' which would mean GGG doesn't rate limit these things or stuff like that.

Chris posted something about API's using a lot of bandwidth or something, what API's are we talking about here? I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, like 3rd party programs or something?

Ah I see, I almost started a Solo Self Found character cause I hate trading so much, but I don't have time to grind endlessly to play SSF, so those trade programs are really useful.

See they could solve that my implementing an ingame system!!!!!!!! fkin ggg
But yeah, the trade programs are basically necessary if you are at all serious about playing :/

Server shenanigans are ruining my plans of going into the new and improved PoE completely blind of all the changes though. Any predictions on what lvlthe HC rip will come at~~~~

Just curious, how does the game perform on DSL, as in, is it laggy, are you forced to play SC, etc?

Thinking about trying PoE out again with the big new update. Never played more than a few hours worth. Is there a guide for babies? Like to the game as a whole? Not just specific classes/builds lol

I did it as semi melee and it wasnt bad at all(All the ranged melee skills basically). But that was after a run as SRS to see the skills he uses. Its definitely tough for pure melee if you havent seen the fight before. Otherwise not so bad.

You're in luck. Theres a brand new in game tutorial --> help system. If you pay attention to it, youll be totally comfortable with each mechanic at least on the basic level. Enough to get into the game without worrying too much. Just enjoy your first play through, you can worry about making optimum gg builds on your second character. Do what seems fun to you.

Also at Bob,
To be clear I don't blame PoE for my ISP being absolutely shit. The problem is my particular area under the ATT network is super old wiring and technology. Which also happens to mean they have the least incentive to trouble shoot the equipment. Internet data suffering ensues. However , to highlight the instability I happened to reset my router for the 3rd time today and this time my download rate increased by 10 x. The other 2 times no such luck...insane.

I suppose its possible that the poe servers increased in speed dramatically but im much more inclined to blame my ISP.

Awesome stuff thanks. I have plenty of D3 experience so I'm not completely foreign to the genre, but things like the skill tree and gems and all that can be pretty intimidating. I'll probably do as mentioned and just go with the flow for a first time through, then reroll better stuff later. Have a few friends that will probably play as well so I expected to be playing more than one character if I enjoy it.

Can you reset a character's skill tree and such, or is it set in stone D2-style? And once you're familiar with the game and the build you want (or guide to follow), how long does it take to level a new character and get them relatively up to speed?

D3 experience is all good and all, but PoE is much more complex and imo much more rewarding. There are so many combinations you can explore and i think you should do so. Don't worry so much about having the absolute best damage but instead get used to the variety of build mechanics, there are a lot in PoE. Damage interactions are complicated, so begin to get used to the tags on gems and think about how they might interact. This will get you ready to decide the kind of "gg" build you transition into. Remember you want to enjoy your build most importantly of all. Thats the point of video games, enjoying what you do.
