Early Saturday morning, the newest release for Path of Exile, Betrayal was released for all to play. I got a couple of extra hours sleep as the release meant a new competition to partake in, so I would be playing all day and night for that 24 hour competition that the sadistic 
Finishing the download and logging in, I was met with a queue due to an influx of people wanting to play, so they were needing to manage the servers to add stability. Well they ended up doing a few short maintenance because of this influx haha!
Some things Betrayal included
Apparently my mate said the Delve mine which came in the last update, Delve, is now end game and I saw nothing of it from my time playing this competition, must be right then.
Einhar the beastmaster wants you to capture beasts for the Menagerie which is something to do with extra crafting and options available while you are working on the quest line for him. I managed to kill some beasts, but didn't deal with it all that much at the time.
Another noticeable addition was the immortal syndicate in which you have caravans/strongholds etc where the bosses you beat of the syndicate, allow you to capture or execute them for loot, information on the syndicate and doing more towards beating them. This one I did a lot of including going into a syndicate hideout which is where I died at the end of the video!
Watch the video to see some action and the glory of my death... or not glory, either way it was a fun competition.
