Thanks to the graphical update in Act 4, my Diablo 3 friends are switching over to POE

Kinda like how I can get thru PoE on normal by holding down left click the entire time and just beating bosses by attrition? Huh.


Nope. PoE on Normal is ~ D3 on Expert, maybe Master. Unfortunately it's hard to compare as in D3 a huge part of the challenge is the scaling of monster HP, but you have to go literally AFK in D3 in order to die on Normal or Hard, so ...


Nope. Likewise in PoE. Normal is training wheels mode.

E: difficulty is subjective so I wont debate it with you, if you think PoE is hard on normal mode well.. ok? I don't think it is.

You maybe can, but my cat can't. It struggles with PoE while it facerolls through D3.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Ofc it is, that's what it's designed for. Yet i can facetank Belial without moving and random gear on Normal difficulty while there's a good chance i die to Merveil if you don't act accordingly.

Idk why you're in denial that much, no one says Diablo3 is easy per se, it's just that the lower difficulties aren't challenging at all, "Normal" and "Hard" that is. Also, no one ever said that PoE on Normal is "hard", yet it's significantly harder than Normal in D3 because you CAN die if you don't play the game, while in Diablo3 it's more or less impossible to die on Normal unless you go afk. Not sure why we are discussing that as it's a simple fact.

Yet all that has nothing to do with the difficulty of each game overall - i'd say they're pretty much the same in that regard (and that is "low", because time invested >>>> skill). The difference for me is that D3 is pretty shallow. Football is very shallow compared to Chess, yet no one in their right mind would say Football is "easy". Also, i do enjoy other things about Chess than i do enjoy about Football. Just the same with PoE + D3.

Can you stop acting like a spoiled kid now? It's getting silly to argue over nothing.

No denial, just indifferent of your opinion. Which is essentially what this entire thread is about. Can I see some builds you've come up with? That "it's shallow argument" went out with 2.0. You either lack imagination or simply don't understand the potential depth of the new systems.

E: For the record, stating something subjective as "fact" doesn't make it so. Try harder.
