Yes

Fireball does hit in an area. If you are coming from PoE, it's important to note that the flat fireball hit damage doesn't affect the ignite power.

I think you'll find that you probably want to use a different weapon as a sorc, probably a staff or wand/catalyst.

It sounds like you might be a newer player which is a great place to be starting 0.9 at I think.

The best advice I can give for this is to use what you find and just improve your gear and build as you go.

Some general advice I can give is that you'll want more health, 100% Crit avoidance and 75 all res as a baseline for end game defenses. If you primary goal is ignite fireball, look for increased fire damage, increased spell damage or increased DoT damage affixes.

Yes, those are literally the exact button labels.

You also get twice as many.

Yes it will run. It will run way better tomorrow though.

Controller support isn't finished but it is more than serviceable.

No, you can start now if you aren't going to play online.

Yea, multiple.

If you're playing multiplayer, you can get carried and level anywhere in the game by portaling to a friend and playing with them.

If you're playing alone or doing it "legit" so to speak, you can use dungeon keys to skip sections of the campaign. As we add more dungeons, there will be more skips that you can combine in different ways to customize your leveling experience.

Either way, you'll still need to complete a set of passive and idol quests to get full power on your character. There are more quests that have these rewards than rewards you can get so you don't have to do them all. This means you can customize which you pick and cater the questing experience to what you like.

K for kosmetics.

And no, that armor is not a mtx skin.

There comes a point where making a change, is very rare because it could cause unintended problems and there isn't enough time to find these any more so we stop making changes unless it completely stops someone from playing.

No scaling occurs. You can play together. If they come to you, you'll have to do the heavy lifting.

The only major thing to know is that if you are in a zone more than 5 levels above your own, you gain experience as though you were in a zone 5 levels above you.Edit: this is wrong now. We eased things up a bit too 10 levels different and changed how quests work too. Details in the patch notes.

So you can't mega power level a character from 1-80 instantly by going into a level 100 zone with carries.

We have partnered with a set of specialists who are doing the majority of the translations. Sorry, we aren't looking for people from the community right now. There will probably be initial versions that we ask for feedback from native or experienced speakers who are also players.

what is this poe game you speak of? Never heard of it ever. Nope, not once.

Default version will be the US way for everything. I'm from Canada and one of the other original coders is UK between the two of us going on autopilot is how we ended up in this split situation.

We are working to localize the game into other languages. I don't think that a UK(and friends) version is going to be high on the list because it's so easy to read US versions for us all.

Yes, we are converting them over.

Armor applies more to physical damage but works vs all hits.

Morlorque is right and it has a few ways to build it that are similar to different javazon abilities.

We are returning to our normal patch cadence that was used for the 0.8.x patches. These will include more content and features as we gear up for 1.0

Probably have those 2 things reversed. Last masteries will be 1.0 and item factions could be pre-1.0

cough not a QOL suggestion cough causes mechanical gameplay changes cough
