By far THE MOST toxic of communities from WOW to D3! (Although i hear that LOL can give them both a run for their money)

Yeah, LoL's community is pretty terrible. My roomate will leave a game to piss you off, if you did something to him, like.. take his jungle camps lol. He'd rather you lose the game than him win. How he got to Diamond V, I will never know.


@topic. I don't like D3 too much. But if I had to play either game in a party, I'd pick D3 right away. Playing PoE in a party just doesn't feel fun, I don't know why. I enjoyed that 1 week I spent grinding Rifts with my friend.

Yeah actually until you just mentioned it im not big on grouping in POE but i ALWAYS grouped in D3!
I think that alot to do with in D3 when loot dropped it was yours and yours only only you could see it and everyone else Each got theirs! That i did like! You cant get anymore fair than that! No way to argue over drops either!

Running with groups in POE is also more of a thing you only really NEED to do once your 90+ otherwise i ejoy playing by my self better! POE just has a really nice single player Exp!
But grouping isnt terrible in POE it just needs something else! Something more but i cant quite put my finger on it!

Grouping in POE is alot more about the Endgame right now ive noticed! Rotation Grouping is very nice in you do get less Exp per map but you are running 6 maps for every one you roll and pay up for whatever mod everyone wants for the map! In the end because you clear faster in most cases with more people its very fast paced and its all about effciant leveling while trying you best to not die or its all a waste!
But at the same time you can also seem to get out with more when you are running alone in POE!
Exp and Loot!

Id really like to see them make better use of the Unique maps! Those should be the pennical of maps!
Hell that right there could encourage more grouping.. make some Unique maps you can ONLY finish in a goup or something! But then that would interfere with the whole scaling per party member!

Back from PoE can say D3>PoE

d3 is dead game. I was a dead game, it will remain a dead game. And will go down in history as one of the most scandalous failures of a game launch

All my real life friends bought it, and I was offered three free keys the first month because they hated it. None of them still play, I consider it ded

Skipping story in D3 - to be honest i would really like if something like this was possible in PoE also, maybe not on same scale, but still. Seriously - after going through it third time i was kinda bored, after 12 times leveling new character became something tedious. After 30 times - i simply hate it.

Also loot - i don't know how easy it is to get good items in D3, but gearing in PoE is ridiculous. In other h&s usually you kill mobs, level up and drop items which are slightly better than what you have now, so after equpping them you can kill slightly stronger mobs and get even better items. Here you drop one semi-good rare item which you will be using for next 20 or 30 levels and then go to trade forums and buy rest of you gear, because actually dropping what you need would take more time than leveling several other characters to endgame level.
