Dear fellow PoE-ers, This is a RPG and not an action game nor a MMO. Stop talking about which class is the best tank, support or dps. We play different classes or choose different companions for the unique interactions and quest outcomes. If I want to play a game where I can enjoy my character having 134774789 deflection or dealing 345854478 damage I'll go with Dark Souls 2 or Diablo 3.

Spell Holding means that the spells only activate upon a critical strike. I remember there's a dagger which casts jolting touch on critical strike.

This fight is a walk in the park compared to the second time you'll be fighting him...

I remember back in BG 1 and 2 that trolls can only be killed with fire or acid weapons/spells.

Pallegina's side quest is disappointing compared to other companions. I was expecting her quest to be of a scale and type similar to Keldorn's quest in BG2 since their personalities are similar.

Any idea when will 1.04 be officially released???

The idiotic Fampyrs have unlimited charm/dominate. Make sure your priest has the Prayer Against Treachery spell. Or you have a cipher to charm your party members back to your side again.

Firebug is really powerful to massacre groups of enemies.

You should post this in the beta patch section.

I'll choose Stunning Blows or Rooting Pain over Long Stride. There are items in the game that boosts move speed.

There are individual effects for different enchantments. Lightning gives your weapon shiny sparks, Burning weapons have flames on them that leave a trail of smoke and cinders, freezing weapons have that 'snowy' effect and corrosive weapons glow green with a green slime dripping off them.

Fighters have a taunt skill. It's called Into The Fray. Pity that it's only single target and it's range is melee.

It's Cliaban Rilag.

I remember playing a PC game back in 2003 where I had to make my character walk backwards to trigger a cutscene so that the game doesn't crash...bugs are weird.

Out of curiosity, what exactly does it reference? Well your starting town in Witcher 2 is Flotsam and it's a river port...

There's a side quest named Ferry Flotsam. Obvious reference to the Witcher 2.

Will be fixed in 1.04.

I can confirm the visual bug for Vulnerable Strikes. When I saved a game with Vulnerable Strikes on, the visual indicator will disappear upon loading the game. I had to turn it off, saved and load the game again.

All shaders will now compile properly under DirectX 11. What does this mean?

Just choose all the extra spells talents and you are good to go. The rest doesn't really matter.

Did anyone realize that this is a Witcher reference?

We need a pocket plane stronghold.

I really miss the strongholds in BG2 (except for the fighters'), you had to complete really cool and involved quests to get them. If OE was really rushing for time then why don't they implement the stronghold like how it was done in BG2 ToB? Pocket plane stronghold!

I got it too. Seems like only this hatchet is affected.

I believe 1.04 will be fixing this. For now don't use spells that summon weapons.
