    Quite a few pc gaming sites mentioning this game,the beta starting next week.
    Looks decent and will be F2P.


    Path of Exile is heading into closed beta after four years in development at indie studio, Grinding Gear Games. Beta participants will be selected at random from the game's online community. Path of Exile is an online action-RPG featuring a "fair, competitive playing field for PvP combat, in addition to cooperative play".

    “Your character’s build really matters in Path of Exile. The game’s deep itemization, innovative flask system and emphasis on skill combos will encourage players to plan character builds carefully so they can compete with the realm’s best players,” says producer Chris Wilson. “We won’t be selling any form of power in the game, only aesthetic improvements, so if you’re fighting someone you know they earned their place the hard way.”
    Taking advantage of Path of Exile’s advanced random level generation, the PvP arenas will be dynamic environments with dangerous threats and hostile opponents of their own. The PvP modes available range from duels to large scale team combat in a variety of scenarios with different level caps. Organized tournaments are planned in future.

    Players in the optional “cut-throat” leagues will get to experience a more horrific form of PvP – the ability for players to invade their instances and kill them, taking all their items. “Of course, only a hyper-competitive player would ever choose to play in this league in the first place,” says Wilson.
