Path of Exile shop now open - beta keys available

[Marius]

The Path of Exile shop is now open (as of 2 minutes ago). Every purchase comes with both the item purchased (or credit) and a beta key to the game.

This is a good way to support an excellent game.

Prices range from $10 to $1000.

I went to NZGDA meeting last night in Auckland. The guys from Grinding Gears were there and gave a talk about how the beta was going for them etc.

Was pretty cool to see an Indie Dev having some success and sharing idea etc. with other game devs.

they are having some problems with payment gateways so its back down for a few hours

[Marius]

What happened is that there were too many transactions in a short amount of time for their payment provider to handle, which caused some errors. They're trying to resolve it now.

Kiwi pets!
Looks like a good range of prices. Still wondering what sorts of cosmetic things you'll be able to purchase. Anything to look a bit less shipwreck-chic would be good though.

Some of those purchase/donation prices are just silly.

How silly?

You get more for your money than a typical F2P store. For all the prices you get the equivalent in credits for the shop to buy cosmetic improvements, extra stash size etc. So you're effectively buying those in advance, plus receiving extra bonuses.

im thinking getting one with 250 points, I really like the game and Id want to buy a couple of cosmetic things

The real question for me is, how much money would I pay for this game if it wasn't free to play. I'm thinking about $50 so I'll probably grab the Bronze pack.

[Mythor]

Their twitter account said a little while ago that five people had bought the $1,000 pack.
They're obviously not expecting to sell very many of the high end packs but they're there for those who do have the money and are happy to part with it.
I haven't decided which pack I'll get yet, though I'm sure I'll get one of them. Don't need the beta key so I'm not in a rush.

just grabbed the $15 dollar pack...for less than $15. I love conversion rates.


weeeeeeeeeee!

I wanted to try this out so I got the $15 pack. Played a few hours so far and tried almost all the classes before I settled on Marauder. The game seems pretty good! A little laggy at times but not as bad as D2 and being beta probably be getting some optimisation.

The skill tree is overwhelming. I have no idea what to go for and I'm confident my first few characters are going to be total spec failures. I like the way you're spoiled for choice, it's hard enough deciding which weapon you'll use and then you get a skill point...
