Too subtle for me - going to have to explain that in more detail...



Basically Diablo 3/ LoL is just meant for casual fun, nothing serious everyone has fun. Really popular among plebs.

Diablo 2/Dota everyone has played them, everyone loves them. The classics.

PoE/HoN great games, red headed step children of their genres. Can't be popular among today's gaming crowds where little windows pop up every time you enter a room telling you what to do.

Complicated? Not even a gnats bite compared to EVE. How you can even remotely compare POE complexity to that of EVE kind of boggles my mind. Have you even played EVE?

You realize HoN is run by S2, which is literally the worst fucking company ever right?

And the moment S2 tried to copy LoL's F2P model, the game went to shit...

If that's the analogy you want to go by... By all means, go ahead.

LoL = D3 the most popular BY FAR...

Dota = D2 the grandfather...

HoN = PoE= Decent closed beta, game went to shit real fast, the moment the company running it was more worried about their MicroT shop than the actual game.

Actually that makes sense... Nice analogy.

what I mean is the amount of research that you have to do before you can have your self a surviving chracter in merciless on HC (or even SC) is what would turn off most players. This game is not like diablo 3 where you can jump right in without reading a single article and understand everything right away. I highly doubt you can do that in eve online either. hence, it is complicated like eve online. I have played eve online, nothing beats that complexity, but you dont seem to understand what I am trying to say. You expect my msg of the two games to be equal in complexity?

For example, I tried to get my brother in law in try out this game, very first look at the skill tree turned him off from it. He does not have enough time nor even remotly wants to learn the tree, he just wants to jump in, get an hour or two of instant fun and log out. I dont blame him either, the tree is probably the easy part, learning builds and small details like armor is prob longer.

If your very serious about doing good in this game, it requires a crap ton of research. How would people know fireball only explodes on first contant and not after a pierce? how are people supose to know armor does not protect you against big hits and so on.

I like HoN the most..I I think S2 did awesome job with HoN recently.. so..why not? I don't think GGG are any better than S2.. (hint, I Like them both)

Ehm..what? you are really trying compare eve to poe?? EvE is hardcore game for sure..it's complex as hell and deep.. PoE is classic simple ARPG with a little twist.. nothing super deep..but it's complexity is bit too high for depth it offers.. but still.
