I have been playing this since the alpha stages and I must say this is one of the best (if not the best) turn based multiplayer strategy game out there. I generally like turn based games and TCG-s, and Duelyst just takes the cake.

The game develops at a very high pace. It has changed a lot in the past couple of months, therefore it will probably get even better very soon ^-^

Can't wait for the steam release. :3

Path of Exile Makes Poison Even More Useful And Deadlier

Poison in Path of Exile used to just be an effect on some weapons and skills that did additional damage, but soon it'll be a mechanic in its own right, helping to make Wraeclast an even more dangerous place.
