RE: Why I Enjoy Playing Path of Exile
Nice post. Been thinking about checking this game out, but a bit worried about getting sucked into a game that turns into a grindfest. Its also good to see a f2p game that doesn't just try to take your money. I always hope to see a one-time purchase option with permanent benefits that just encourages freebie players to make one $5 purchase and then play the game at their leisure. Anything like that in here?
Grind
It can be a grind fest towards end game. Most don’t make it to level 100 as you lose xp when you die as well after a certain point. I never have focused on reaching level 100 and just have a blast.
I always play in a fresh ladder. A month or so of playing and then I’m off to another game while I wait for the next ladder. I believe they start every 3 months. Ladders each time are always a little different this time we have Harbinger’s (link leads off steemit). Harbingers are alright but not as good as the last season’s ladder. That one was a blast filled with a lot of challenges and choices.
Spending
As far as spending $5-10 I would recommend something like stash storage space (bank space) would be best. It goes on sale once in a while at 30% off. I just happened last weekend so it will be a little while. That is best time. Right now I think without the sale 1 Premium stash tab is $4 and 1 Currency tab is $7.50.
A currency tab is always nice since they hold 5k of a currency in that slot. Otherwise you end up like some of the screenshots I shared where I have 10 of this or 20 of that per slot. There are fewer slots as each currency only gets one.
Otherwise there are just cosmetics to buy. Ice crown for $5 that glows on your head stuff like that. If you do try out the game you will notice the paid cosmetics as they tend to glow on people and look much better then non-cosmetic gear. There are loads cosmetic stuff like that in the shop.
