I may be stating the obvious but Brevik worked on D1 and D2 but had absolutely nothing to do with D3. He is still in the arpg business working on Marvel Heroes. Which is a great game but not nearly as complex as PoE. However he is a great CEO and regularly streams playing his own game with his wife. Heroes also has a similar free to play model. However I prefer the complexity and theory crafting of PoE.

I have 300 hours in Marvel Heroes and its god aweful.

Marvel Heroes is more complex than POE not sure if you want to call it complex but everytime I log on there is some new retarded item they add in making it incredibly difficult to keep up.

There are too many people on screen at the same time, this in itself causes a shit ton of performance issues and unecessary load on the CPU even if you can turn off their effects its bad for people using AMD CPU.

Blizzard has the right idea 5 man party like Left 4 Dead in D3.

The other thing Brevik is complete shit when it comes to Marvel ARPG. The maps are very bright waaaay to bright you farm Midtown most of the time for splinters and its simply WAAAAAY to bright you can't even see the spell effects.

Bright areas and world like Marvel just does NOT suite an Action RPG. Marvel Heroes is a huge joke compared to POE or D3. Infact Marvel Heroes launched in worse shape than D3 something I thought was impossible. The animations are a total joke in Marvel Heroes aswell.

Its just a repulsive game created for little children.

As it stands D2 looks better than MH.

Please Make D4!

ups.
