Path of Exile

Top-down ARPG (Diablo 2 style) coming out of closed beta on the 23rd.  6 years in the making it looks great.  It's dark and gritty, and well worth checking out.  The passive upgrade tree is like the Final Fantasy X sphere grid on crack.  Level cap at release rumored to be 100, with supposedly extensive endgame including PvP. 

No gold, all trades are person-to-person with a barter system.  NPC trading is done with "currency items" that start at identify scrolls and go up from there to stuff like "turn a white item into a random rare" and top-tier random-gen map keys.

Skills are runes that get socketed into weapons and armor, and using a rune levels it up increasing its power and versatility. Skill combinations in multisocket weapons can reach very strong and fun combinations.

Oh, and did I mention it will be free?  With no Pay to Win (per the people who are making it).  Cash shop will be pets and cosmetic items, nothing that has an actual ingame effect.

Bye bye Diablo 3!

Been playing on/off for a few weeks, haven't gotten too far. I like it.

Combines Diablo and Final Fantasy systems...just need to play more to see how the gem system turns out, if it is as fun as materia in FF7.

The shadows are awesome, long shadows running towards you...and then you see the mobs.
