Just wondering if anyone would be able to give me information about POE2 I figured I would ask here before purchasing it as it’s a logical step when you get bored of D4 to go there.
I really enjoyed the Flesh Reaper + Life Steal combo it was a DoT style gameplay that actually worked went from killing T4 bosses (Still haviing to dodge mechanics at times and still had some challenge in pits in 80 or so ) to cant even reach 1 notch of damage on Lord Zir with it, I do not understand why they “fixed” it as it didn;t make anyone Overpowered or anything as none of the top pit runs are using it and after the spiritborn fiasco we had pit 150 in 2 mins which we had to deal with all season I do not know why they could not leave it be.
Yet we have classes like Lightning Sorc literally going in and destroying everything in a blink of an eye.
Anyways back to topic POE2 is a DoT based spec viable in it:?
There is again another Diablo-fan showing their true skin. “incelparrots”, wtf that even means. But if you compare diablo 4 to Path of exile 1 and 2, those games are worth the time, especially as they are free to play (second one soon enough)
Im pretty sure he is just sick of hearing about PoE all the time, and although i wouldn’t resort to namecalling myself, to a extend, i get where he is coming from. PoE is always treated as the only alternative to Diablo, and the PoE way is the only way, if Diablo is not exactly like PoE, its automatically a bad game.
Personally i played both PoE 1 and 2, and didnt care much for them, i see why some people like them, but they are not for me. That does not mean that i think Diablo 4 is the greatest game ever created, far from it, i frequently critique the game, but i do so without bringing up PoE. A lot of people on here seem to use PoE as their only reference in a discussion, and it can get really tiresome to constantly hear about PoE when the subject in question is Diablo. It’s just a very black and white way to look at things that are much more neuanced.
Well as someone whose never played POE I just wanted to know how it compares to Diablo was all I think the namecalling and stuff was a bit uncalled for and unnecessary.
Yea, im not blaming you for anything, your post is legit. I was just referencing that there have been a lot of posts on the forums with the sole purpose of trashing D4 and Glorifying PoE, and it has caused some people to grow tired of PoE posts in Diablo forums.
yes, was unnecessary, but this is the d4 forum.
i tell u what i think about poe1:
fun idea with a large leveling tree. practically it’s difficult to overview though.
fun with loads of different skills but practically i think less is more, most go unused. and it can be irritating looking for a skill, as they socket into your armor and weapons, and not finding it. And it is absolutely annoying to never get your 6link cause it’s just too rare.
the currency is fun to find, but in reality it’s u finding dimes and copper while botters rack up big money as u buy in since it takes too long to find on your own.
the recipe for success has not changed with poe2, meaning that you will be entering a botter’s haven. it’s everywhere, of course, but it is rampant there as it always were in diablo 2. worse.
this is absolutely conjecture, however. i don’t know. it was a long time ago since i played poe. there was a spirit to the game, i felt, that i don’t feel with this game. but it was also the lesser crafted game, clunky in comparison to diablo 3. i have no doubt that poe2 is worse in this regard compared to d4. but could be something for u, maybe.
I see these Poe haters mostly just diablo 4 new fanboys and these people have no idea of real quality games from back in the days when games had to be done well as there was no possibility to patch them later as easily and what ever. Developers these days just smash assets together pretend they are games and give up on them within a year or two or just end up being never ending unfinished product.
Diablo 4 might look neat and all, but its very buggy and most of the issues in the game simply are because of the engine. It just cant manage everything needed to be done. Thats why they dont provide more stash storage etc. as it loads to all players within the area and lower end rigs cant handle this at all.
The game is just garbage and comparing it to poe or poe2 is just stupid. Poe developers love their child (so to say) and work hard to improve it and listen to the players. Diablo 4 has none of that.
Diablo 4 was built on top of Diablo immortal basically, they looked very similar on PC in its first steps. Thats why they didnt want to have immortal on the PC either but as it was heavily requested, they gave in. Bit off topic but just saying Activision ruins everything. Blizzard had gone worse and worse but Activision truly tipped the scale to the worst. Activision is just money hungry, not for quality. Anything Activision related, immediately goes to blacklist in my mind.
