We all trash talked D3, but is there any feature that D3 does better than PoE?

- Removing trade completely.
- Smart loot (goes hand-in-hand with above).
- Inventory space. Doesn't cut itself off, more stash tabs available soon through mtx.
- Crafting. Even though it's pretty bad, it's still better than PoE crafting lol. The Mystic grill (forgot her name) pretty much makes the difference here.
- Graphics. Also pretty bad if you zoom in, but still better than PoE's graphics.
- Doesn't rely on 3rd party.
- Build variety post Kanai Cube. D3 takes a step forward in this, while PoE takes a step back with recent changes. There will still be a meta but a lot more builds will be endgame viable compared to PoE.
- Stat balance. Crit is a bit more of a must on D3 than on PoE but you literally can't play a merciless character on PoE without a good chunk of life nodes + life on gear. Not in a progressive way atleast.


Think the rest has been mentioned already.

Graphics? Are you saying these graphics are good or decent ?? http://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/R9_270X/images/diablo3.jpg

This is on ultra hahaha. No the graphics in their game are total garbage for the time it was released. On top of that it also asks way too much from your system, the system requirement are way too high for having graphics like that. They're unrealistic, cartoony and overall look like they come from a game out of 2004. This is just embarrassing for a studio as big as Blizzard who can pull talent from everywhere.

The loot in that game is absolutely horrendous. You need to use the auction house and browse it for hours for upgrades. I heard that has been removed though and now legendaries drop like candy. Which is pretty typical from a Blizzard game, their latest games and releases have all had the trend to be incredibly easy and doable even on highest difficulties. It kills attraction more since it just gets boring really fast.

And builds? Are you kidding me? Every class had 1 build. Making 5 builds viable because you have 5 classes in a game is not really diversity. You can create a lot of end game viable builds if you know what you're doing in Path of Exile. In this type of game however you will always have a fastest or most efficient build due to the variety the game has.

Things that Diablo 3 did better than Path of Exile? The cinematics were high budget and done quite wonderfully. I enjoyed that kind of presentation. I loathed as I said above the graphics it felt like some happy fantasy world instead of a dark one (which Diablo is supposed to be).

Endgame content and performance.

Performance, maybe although with lockstep, I think PoE is at least rapidly closing the gap there.

Having alternate genders for each class (i.e. more base models) and, in general, just having a lot more and better animations. This is mostly a money thing, so I get why D3 has it and PoE doesn't, but certainly would be nice.

Big +1 on various supports/uniques modifying skills visually. For a quick example, if you are using the Consuming Dark, your fire skills should start turning purple and black. This is something that D3 totally did right with runes.

Lately their itemization has been a million billion times better. They're still hamstrung by "every piece needs +MAINSTAT" and crit hegemony, but they're pumping out really interesting uniques at a pretty amazing rate.

D3 = Players play the game and wish they could trade.
PoE = Players trade and wish they could play the game.
