Rock, Paper, Exile - the RPS Path of Exile guild!

Right, I’m so used to ignore these trends I didn’t even realize, thanks for reminding me

Are guilds/servers affected by League type? I’m up for joining, but I just started in the Domination league and have no idea how the guild system works.

Sorry for the late reply. No, the league doesn’t matter - you join as an account, and all your characters, no matter which league, will belong to the guild and can talk in gchat between leagues (although the guild stash is league-specific). Unfortunately I’m out of town until at least Wednesday, maybe longer, so I can’t send you an invite until I get back home.

Bump, I guess.

Just downloaded the steam client, downloading Path of Exile as my first game. I have no idea how stuff works, and I have a lame internet connection. But going to activate my account, and try to play just for the heck of it.

Are there any prerequisites for the Guild?

alms 2015-05-22 23:06:28 UTC #105

I think no, you just need someone with rights to add you. If Faldrath doesn’t reply in a few days, I’d consider pinging him.

BTW the game used to be available standlone too, there should be no need for Steam?

DeathPig 2015-05-23 01:15:49 UTC #106

I’ve had an account there for two years now. Thought I’d try it out.

alms 2015-05-23 01:21:13 UTC #107

Anyway, I’ve been told people right now might not be playing much since an expansion should be releasing in… six weeks or so?

Whatever the case, that would still give you access to the guild stash.

DeathPig 2015-05-23 01:58:31 UTC #108

Should give me enough time to get a decent grasp of the game, I think. I’ll just wait for his reply or ping him.

Edit : I was hoping this wouldn’t happen. The game just won’t get past Contacting Server. Gets till there then disconnects after a while… this is a downer. :S

I’m guessing my internet speed is just not enough… shit.

DeathPig 2015-05-23 11:25:48 UTC #109

Double post, just because I need some help.

After the above error kept repeating, I tried opening the Task Manager while running PoE. And to my surprise I found out it rarely consumed any Network, and if it did, that would max out at 0.1 Mbps. Same goes for the Steam Overlay, and bootstrap exes. Could this be because of my network speed, or something else?

Firewalls and antivirus off, although they both have been set to exclude Steam and PoE.

A little help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey there, yeah, I can contact you once you’re in game (just add me as a friend, I’m Faldrath there as well). I can’t say I have ever experienced what you’re getting, though. Have you tried switching the gateways around? Since you’re in India, perhaps the Australian one might work, or the European one?

DeathPig 2015-05-23 15:53:31 UTC #111

I made a thread on their discussions page about this, and they asked me to contact their support. Hopefully this is not due to my internet speed, and I can get online soon. If I do, I’ll let you know and send you a request.

Small word of advice if you get around your login problem: Don’t start a fresh character in one of the one month leagues (the flashback leagues) and stick to the normal ones for now - either standard or hardcore. The Flashback league is a bit crazy over the weekend, since it has ALL the previous season’s features enabled at the same time - Completely hilarious, but NOT very new-player-friendly!

Either way, hope you or the support (they have one of the greatest support teams i’ve seen in any online game so far) manage to resolve those login issues!

alms 2015-07-05 02:03:17 UTC #113

Expansion coming out in a week, anybody planning to go back to it?

Faldrath 2015-07-05 02:38:32 UTC #114

Yep… although I never really stopped playing I just switched to the beta.

DemoJan777 2015-07-05 08:12:15 UTC #115

Howdy, fairly new to PoE and even more new (newer?) to RPS, Faldrath I added you to my friends list and sent you a message for invite to RPS guild in Standard, when you get a spare moment could you hop out of the beta and send me a guild invite please? Character name is Dollypartz. Thanks!

Faldrath 2015-07-05 13:39:57 UTC #116

Will do, thanks

Procrastination_Giant 2015-07-05 20:48:27 UTC #117

Yep, same as Faldrath - I never really left and even if i do take a break here and there i tend to return for every new league or one month race. I tend to play in the hardcore leagues, though, so most of my usual interactions with the rest of the guild boils down to being a smartass in chat and yelling at people for not capping their resistances.

But if the default league that is coming up is as interesting as it sounds on paper (and ggg manage to write proper ai for the league-mobs for once) then i’ll probably roll a default character aswell.

alms 2015-07-05 21:19:16 UTC #118

Uh-oh, looks like I’m out of my depth there. I don’t have more than 30 hours in the game, was just looking to play with other human units.

Faldrath 2015-07-05 21:23:53 UTC #119

Well, hopefully we’ll have plenty more newcomers joining/rejoining once 2.0 hits, but while learning on your own is fun, having veterans around to help with some of the more arcane mechanics can be quite useful. I should know.

Procrastination_Giant 2015-07-05 23:51:05 UTC #120

Nah, don’t worry alms - PoE isn’t a competition and “hardcore” or “veteran” really doesn’t translate to “elitist” in my case (i hope), so despite the fact that i played this game way, way too much and occasionally sacrifice my own characters i tend to be fairly non-threating… i hope… so (as long as you cap those resists! froth) you have nothing to worry about should you decide to join our little cabal!
