One thing though about POE..... character LOOK!

I'm so really sorry, but my Witch level 63 looks like a homeless, a bum.... I miss having a character level 60 that looks like a boss, strong, looking nice armors.... they should definitely improve char. looks when wearing armors/gloves/boots etc.

Lol. I'd prefer my character looking like a homeless bum than King Arthur's 1st Knight. If I'm delving into a deep, dark dungeon, I don't want to rush in with massive armor, all guns blazing. If you want that, you can play Diablo 3.

I want to go in slowly, creeping around in the shadows, going carefully through doorways.

Homeless bum 4 life.

Actually no, the characters don't look like homeless bums. They look like exiles. Exactly how they should look. You don't need to improve perfection.

This is a hot topic I want to get into! From someone who played the Diablo series since 1997, I can honestly say Diablo 3 is the biggest stinkpile of a Diablo game ever. It ruined the series, both in terms of gameplay as well as utterly butchering the story. Its an abomination of an arpg, there is literally zero customisation or endgame in it. I tried to hang on as much as possible in the hopes they fix it or add something interesting, and sure enough they released pvp but also made sure I hated it ... as soon as I read they gave 30% innate reduction to ranged classes for duels instead of adding a flat dmg reduction as every single fan was pointing out, I went berserk and it was the final straw.

I got into path of exile when OB launched and I havent even touched D3 since then lol, this game is so ridiculously amazing and refreshing! The amazing jawdropping potion system, the endgame maps system, the passive skill tree and keystones, the unique items that are not a musthave and yet offer something really unique should you choose to pick them (something the d3 team couldnt get right, even after buffing their legendaries they became total musthaves then, they couldnt strike a balance at all), the skill gem system, quality system, currency system devoid of gold or runes like in D2, support skills altering skills radically ... so much I could list that trumps Diablo 3's silly design choices (only 6 active and 3 passive skills at a time, lmao what a total joke)

I am in cruel difficulty with marauder atm, and am so excited to be playing the same content again yet got so much more to discover in terms of skills and items, and other endgame content.
In Diablo 3, in my first playthrough, in nightmare mode, all I could think of was 'been there done that, boring, same shit slightly harder, plz fast forward to inferno loot runs before i slash my wrists'... and then as you all know, I got to inferno and you can imagine my disgust.

So I'll be sticking with this game called path of exile, just because its what D3 was supposed to be, and then some.

It's the place for farming maps.. Duh.?

Farming means trying to find items.. Which you can do anywhere.

DUH..??

Actually I like this game. It's fun and rewarding. But progressing in Diablo was a struggle for me.

seriously i know that PoE >>>> D3 but come on remove the "pink fanboy glasses"

PoE HAS NO TRADING system at ALL, we need one!

ps. i believe you mean the amount of orbs/currencies...which is nice

For me, the thing that makes POE a clear winner is that when I die in HC, right after I say "F#$K Sh^T AS#*#LE" etc. under my breath, I am excited to create a whole new build. In Diablo 3, when you die in HC, you are pissed because you know that you are now going to level the same character up in the same way you did before, and end up with the same character again.

Exactly. That's why it's a better trading system.

Yeah, what happened to NEVER bringing it up?
I liked that.
What was it?
Oh right, "We don't talk about ToG"

If D3 and PoE had a love child with D3s engine and combat, and PoEs Itemization and no PTW I would never be seen outside again.
